'Marching ants' not visible with lasso tools

  • December 5, 2018

When I start to draw a selection using any of the lasso tools, the preview (marching ants) doesn't appear until after I close the selection (eg. letting go of the mouse button). This obviously makes it impossible to see what I'm selecting.

Interestingly, if I've already made a selection and I go to add or subtract to it, the preview works as I draw.

Would anyone have any ideas?

Using Photoshop 20.0.1 on an iMac.

Cheers, Darren

    After much frustration I worked out the reason why you can't see the "marching ants" is because the default for the lasso tool is set to "-". Before starting your lasso work hit shift to make it "+" then option and off you go. Hope this works for everyone.

    Hi barbarab9984006 ,

    I am having this issue with the Magic Wand tool.I don't know where you are referring to with the "+"? I can see the marching ants with the Lasso tool no problem. But the Magic Wand it just disappears.

    Hi Sahil,

    I checked my preferences and they are set to OpenCL.There is no OpenGL in my preferences as you refer.

    Would you help me out with this?

    The marching ants showed fine on Photoshop 2018 on my Mac(I'm on a high spec gaming PC Windows 10 now).

    Hi Darren,

    That shouldn't be happening, let us help make this right. Could you try turning on OpenGL in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance > Advanced Settings and let us know if it help?

    If that doesn't work then try changing the Drawing mode to Advanced and see if it works. Drawing mode is also available in Photoshop's Preferences > Performance > Advanced Settings.

    Regards,
    Sahil

    Hi Sahil

    I already had the drawing mode set to advanced and all the boxes below that drop down are ticked.

    The problem seems really inconsistent. For example, I have one file open where the problem is occurring, then I create a new file and the problem is not there, then I click back on the original file and the problem is gone.
