When I do CTRL+A on Photoshop, the same thing happens to me. I think it's because you've used the entire canvas, and therefore many of the Select tools don't work (Expand and Feather). But I don't see why Smooth or Contract doesn't work. Weird...
Also, your selection isn't the regular "marching ants" selection. You see those tiny boxes on each of the four corners + edges of your selection? Usually that indicates that you're either on Crop or Free Transform, which usually limits the choices in Select. I don't know if this is contributing to the problem though. I don't know why Ctrl+A does that but I would suggest taking the rectangle selection tool and selecting the document manually from now on, instead of doing CTR+A, and make sure you don't select the whole canvas. |
