I am missing a crop tool which can rotate the crop rectangle. Similar to photoshop's tool. I found no way to rotate the crop rectangle in gimp. How do you cut out something from an image if it needs to be rotated while cropping? I tried rotating first then cropping but it does not give me enough precision so I end up with transparent areas at the border.
View 5 RepliesI'm using CS6 on my MacPro and and MacBook Pro (both running 10.6.8). When i use the crop tool on my laptop, an annoying black rectangle with dimensional data pops up whenever I crop. This does not happen on my desktop. I need this turned off on my laptop as well.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to crop a rectangle that is slightly off square, so the cropping rectangle is either clipping part of the image or not enough of the empty space. Is there a way to clip a non-rectangular area?
The images are actually parts of a map as a specific projection, and need to be clipped non-rectangular so they match up.
I am currently in the process of testing LR4 and use a LR3 library that I converted to LR4.
If I rotate an image from (or to) landscape/portrait I cannot use the crop/rotate tool anymore by pulling the edges. The control sliders work, but not the active corners. If I put the image back to the original position, things work like a charm.

when I select the crop tool, my image disappears during the entire crop process. I can only see the image in the preview pane. Why is this happening? I am using the most current version of Lightroom, and I am on a PC.

The image size is sometimes a full 2 inches off of what you set as a crop?! I havn't run into this before
[I do know you can use the drop down box and use {size and resolution} but I want to know why it doesnt work under custom and unconstrained]
Is there a way to use the rectangle select tool to crop a photo to a specific aspect ratio - like 5x7 or 8x10?

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn the old days, one could just use the crop tool and, while drawing crop lines, check the perspective box if you found that you needed to change the perspective. With CS6 if you start with the crop tool, and find you want to change the perspective, you have to change tools to the new perspective crop tool. In the process, you have to tell the newly opened dialog box that you don't want to crop, to get to the perspective tool, which now has reset to its defaults. You've lost your cropping and you have to start over.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having a problem with the crop tool. It will not crop the area I want; it goes to a point and stops. It's as if it has a mind of it's own and I can't direct it. I thought it might be the mouse so I took it apart and cleaned it, and then I put a different mouse in. It still does the same thing.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been using the crop tool without any knowledge of the little boxes you can fill in to restrict its WxH dimensions. I always wanted my crops to come out at a 2:3 ratio and could never get them perfect since I was just eyeballing it.
So then I found the WxH controls and if I put "2 in" for width and "3 in" for height, my image will come out as desired, no scaling of the image, but with the unfortunate side effect that my DPI has been changed, which causes problems for me later on. Now if I put "2 in" x "3 in" and then specify 72dpi in the "resolution" field, it will actually scale my image which is not what I want either. Now if I put "2 px" by "3 px" of course it will massively scale my image, which again is not what I want.
What I want is to re-crop my image to a 2:3 ratio, WITHOUT scaling, AND without modifying DPI. Is this possible with the crop tool? It seems that my WxH numbers are required to have units after them and I don't want any of those units (inches, px, mm, etc). I want unitless cropping, basically cropping by ratio. Does this make any sense?
I have a work-around which involves batch resetting all my DPI's at the end of the session. But that adds another step to my workflow which is not a very elegant solution.
I never had problems using the cropping tool to rotate an image to straighten it and then crop. Now in windows all my cropping tool wants to do instead of rotate is SKEW! What is up?

View 4 Replies View Relatedhow to create a simple action, i.e. rotate, crop, etc. What I can't find in a search of the Forum and web is a clear tutorial on how to create an action using text. For example, midway through the action, I want to enter text; however, I don't know how to have the action present the text box for me to select the text/font/color, etc. Each time I use this action, it will be with different text, and if I simply enter the text as part of the original action, that same text appears in all subsequent uses.
When I include a Stop and add text, then begin recording again, it doesn't seem to work either?

I didn't have the problem with the crop tool in the previous versions of Photoshop.
I am having recent difficulty with the crop tool in Photoshop CS5. When I crop an image and hit enter it goes to a grey dot and NO IMAGE???  This has never happened before.
View 2 Replies View RelatedThe crop tool does not seem to work in conjunction with a slight rotation. I do not have this issue on my personal computer, only at my place of work, where honestly it's much more important that this function work. The machine I'm on is running XP32 SP3 with 4gb ram, intel proc. Dell machine. Nothing non-standard. I'm using PS CS3 and I believe it's the creative suite package. I know I've used this tool on other machines and at home without issue.       What causes this issue? A two step workaround is not a solution, because the tool does something unique. This is akin to the image size dialogue being broken for me. It's an integral tool and I need it.       The second issue is one that I haven't seen mentioned at all: when using the perspective function of the crop tool, the final image ends up misaligned from the intended crop. For example, if I took an image of a house that was slightly skewed and lined the top and left sides of a crop box with the edges of the house, checked the perspective box, moved the handle in the lower left in to adjust perspective, and then hit enter, the top and left of house will have shifted a large amount away from the top and left of the crop. In effect this gives me a wrong crop. I've never seen this before.       I've tried "ctrl, alt, shift" to reset the prefs and it does indeed reset the prefs, but does not fix the problem. I've tried deleting the prefs files manually in my profile, which does indeed reset the prefs as well,
