FrEaK Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Alright, my first plugin request... I was really getting pissed at the lasso tool today and I was hoping someone could help me with this. How about a line tool that selects things, sort of like the lasso but the lines come out straight. I don't know its kind of hard to explain. What I'm trying to say is how about a Triangle select or other shapes, because squares and circles don't really work all the time. I'm hoping someone can make sense of this.

Yata Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well I know what your talking about with the lasso is refered to as a polygonal lasso. Plugins can't be made for tools, though.

Yata Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Which plugins were they though? Plugins can work with selections, I'm not sure if they can create selections.

Sozo Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Isn't this already a plugin request? Regardless, I would love to see this plugin become reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 One workaround that has been suggested is to create a scratch layer and use the Line / Curve tool to draw out the section in straight lines. Fill in the insides once you have a closed shape, then use the Magic Wand to select the block of color in the shape of the polygon you wanted. Switch to whatever layer you wanted to draw on and proceed.

MattBlackLamb Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 How about a line / curve based selection tool? You could select something with any of the selection tools & then manipulate the lines at any points to get the exact selection you wanted Quote dA Son, someday you will make a girl happy for a short period of time.

usedHONDA Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I've actually suggested this before. Also, this is already in the "Popular Feature Requests" thread.
