Hi, all!
I like to create a path and then turn it into a selection and that's generally my preferred way to remove backgrounds from images.
Lately, after I change the path to a selection, instead of the insides of
the path being selected, it's inverted. And annoying. But I have no idea
what I changed to make it so.
Does anyone know where I can go to change the 'path to selection' default
from inverse to normal?
It's a simple matter to inverse the selection - Shift & Command(Ctrl) + i on the keyboard will do this.
Take a bit of time to learn these keyboard shortcuts - especially toggling between the various tools - it's surprising how much it improves your workflow.
Yes, I use keyboard commands all the time. But, I used to make the selection
and hit delete. Now I have to make the selection, inverse it (however I do
it) and then delete the background. Even with a keyboard command, it's till
another (annoying and unnecessary unless I can't get help here ;) step that
I'd rather not take...
Thanks tho
You make a path and convert that into a selection, so the part you want to keep is selected.
If you want the background to be removed, you need to
inverse I would say.
Or am I missing something?

No, you're not - but that's exactly what my problem is - it does NOT select the area inside the path but rather everything but that! Which is not the default action. Don't know what I did, but I wish I could take it back and make it work the way its supposed to...
And yes, I could inverse the selection everytime so it selects the area inside the path rather than everything outside it, but that's an additional step I'd rather not take...
Any ideas?
