Well, whenever I use the Polygonal Lasso Tool, everything goes well, then when i trace the image, the finial result is a circle. I have a screenshot. Can somebody tell me what's going on? Please.

When I trace something with the Polygonal Lasso tool, everything goes fine. Then after i complete the trace, the trace turns into a circle and i dont know what to do.
Nope, it is Home Premium, but the color scheme makes it Basic. If you dont believe me, i can make another screen of my Gui.
It's not much of a biggie, but I do need to make the Polygonal Lasso back to default. It's driving me crazy.
I am using CS2, and Im considering t uninstall, and install CS3.
Oh, i fixed it. Thanks David, and all the others. :)
Thank you to Rayel, that helped.

Hello

Did you try to save it and see if the circle still exists, I think it will be gone. I have a questionr what photoshop are you using is it CS2 or 3, Is it the beta version of CS 3. Didn't know that the final is out.

Thank you

That's a weird one. Silver bullet time:

Whenever Photoshop goes wacky on me, I usually close the program, find the preferences (do a find on "Photoshop Prefs"...they are in the "Settings" folder for CS2), throw them away and reopen the program.

If you have things set up, like special brushes, actions, etc., you can find them and save them first. These files are in a folder called Presets in CS2
