When I use the quick selection tool (or when I use content-aware scaling) I get an error message saying "could not complete your request because of a program error." I am working with NEF files, 4 GB of RAM, fast machine with plenty of scratch space, Radeon X1950 crossfire graphics card. With small .jpg files, the problem doesn’t occur. Thanks for any help.

Have you tried turning off OpenGL acceleration?
Have you tried the 11.0.1 update?

Thanks for your reply. I did the update, which seemed to take care of the quick selection tool problem. I turned off OpenGL, which seems to take care of the content-aware scaling problem.

Ok, but you still get a program error with 11.0.1 when OpenGL on when using content aware scaling – right?

Well, at least you have a workaround.
But it sounds like we have another bug.

That’s right, Chris… and even when I turn it off, it seems erratic as to whether or not the scaling works. I just tried it again and couldn’t get it to work without the program error message even when I turned it off. I suspect that if I reboot the whole machine it might work but I’m not sure. Something is buggy in there.
