controlling area selection

[frompandora Profile]

I ugraded to the studio version and am finding the area selection tool really difficult to use. I had much more control over it in the previous version. popup suggestions keep getting in the way. Is there any way to turn them off ?

I am really surprised that you experience a difference in area selection using the studio version. According to the edition comparison list at https://www.anthropics.com/smartphotoeditor/editions/, the only difference between the studio edition and the standard edition is that the studio version can be used as a plugin within Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Photoshop Elements. Have you tried testing how area selection works for you using the studio version as a standalone as opposed to using it as a plugin? If you only have problems using it as a plugin, the problem might be your stretching your memory capacity, since Photoshop is very memory intensive. I have many programs that crash or won't run at all when Photoshop is running in the background. I don't really know how plugins are affected in such a scenario though.

Popup suggestions don't get in my way, but maybe I get the same popups as you but they just don't bother me. In any case, under File - Settings there is a section on the General Tab for disabling pop up windows (which I have never bothered to use).
