Yeah, I checked that and that wasn’t it. I am thinking though it may have been that I had the image as a 32 bit image . I have since moved on and changed the image to an 8 bit image as that seems to be an issue for other functions in Photoshop.

I’ll give the menu commands a try. As for illustrator, the ultimate goal of all this is to build a 3d project.

Yeah,
My mistake. That’s what it was I was in the wrong panel

Thank you, Apparently I just wasn’t catching what it was doing. It was working and I just wasn’t catching it. It looked as though it was getting pixels beyond the tolerance settings. But in fact it wasn’t. As it turned out there was a gap in my outline so it was getting pixels that should have been not contiguous wit the area where I was trying to select.

OK I figured this on out. The brush tool was set from the last time / project I used it on to a size that was about 90% of the image size of this new project. So I click select the Clone tool and move my cursor onto my canvas and my brush sixe is huge (relatively ) and the 500 X 400 canvas immediately centers to the center of my 450px brush. That frankly, was maddening. Solution was simple, change brush size to something more reasonable. In this case something like 9px. Curiously though I see the tool opens with a sample already apparently selected, which is something I don’t remember it doing before. That in part was what was causing me the confusion. The entire image was under the brush which was so big its bounds (the circle that is the brush size) exceeded the view of the screen. And because I was entering the screen from the tool bar the center of my brush was first and immediately on the left edge of the screen. So my screen /view immediately jumped to the left where the center of my brush was.

So you’re telling me that in the big boy tools it’s not possible to have both handles active at the same time. Not sure how that qualifies as big boy tools rather than stupid tool design.
