I’ve got PSE2 & PSE3 installed on my Mac G4. In my PSE2 days I was a very new beginner and it wasn’t until today that,for the first time, I played around with the Extract tool in PSE2 – a tool that isn’t in PSE3.

What are the advantages,if any,in using this tool over the selection tools available in PSE3 ?

malcolm, which tool is it? There is no "extract" tool by that name in any version of PE. Which do you mean? (The extract command is only in full Photoshop.)

Is this perhaps a third-party download? If so, it probably can be moved over to your copy of PE 3 and still work.

Barbara….

The tool appears under the ‘image’ heading on the top PSE2 menu bar. The screen when you open it is headed ‘EXTRACT’ and has three boxes on the right – tool options / extraction / preview.

I don’t remember seeing this anywhere as a free plug in,so is it possible that I was a very naughty boy,and, in my ignorance when I first had PSE2, that I copied this over from the trial version of full photoshop that came with one of the Mac magazines ? Like all kids with new toys I was always experimenting with plug ins etc to see if they would work in PSE2.
Before I mastered PSE2 I bought PSE3,so it wasn’t until today that I actually had a go at using it. A search of the Mac shows a plug in called ‘extract plus’ in the plug-ins / filters section of PSE2.

It must have been something like that. Here’s the standard menu you should see:

You march right down to Adobe and return that plug-in young man!

I guess there is going to be a big queue at Adobe’s front door 🙂 🙂 🙂
