I'm in CS6. I want to crop a photo to a specific size. Example. I have a photo 14X12.5. Use unconstrained 12X12 cropping. The result is 12.5X12.5. Not what I want. How do I crop to the specific size of 12X12 deleting part of the photo?

But the issue is when you select the crop tool and enter a custom constraint and crop
Â
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]
In PS5, if I start with a picture 5184 x 3456, I could crop a picture to be 2100 by 1500 by setting these parameters in the crop tool. No matter whether I decided to make a big crop or a small crop, my final image was always 2100 x 1500.
Â
In PS6, however, I don't think the crop tool parameters work the same way. If I set the crop parameters to 2100 by 1500, my final crop is NOT 2100 by 1500, but rather my final crop is whatever original pixels I selected.
Â
What is the EASIEST way to accomplish a final crop of 2100 x 1500 on PS6?
Is there a simple way to constrain a crop to a certain aspect ratio? I have a bunch of cropping to do and the results all need to be 5:3. It's not that difficult to use the info palette and get the aspect ratio right but it would be way quicker if I could just constrain the crop tool to those proportions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a set of drum scans of medium format film images. The pixel dimensions of the scans vary slightly. But they all consist of images of the same frame size, with borders around the image (scanned film outside the image.) All of the scans were done at 4000 pixels per inch, at 100 percent.
Â
For example, the pixels dimensions of one scan is 10492 x 6907, another is 10390 x 6968, and another is 10483 x 6976.
Â
I want to crop all of them to 10200 x 6738 pixels. I want to delete the cropped pixels, and I do not want any scaling to take place. I want to preserve the original metadata (the scanner model, pixels per inch, etc.); in other words, I want to modify the files (or copies of the files), not create new files. The print size does not matter.I've tried several approaches, and none of them let me do what I want:
Â
1.) Manually cropping each scan individually does not give me the control that I need for cropping to precise pixel dimensions.
Â
2.) Creating a Crop Preset with the desired pixel dimensions doesn't work because using it results in scaling (I think.)
Â
3.) Using Canvas Size doesn't work because the borders in the scans are not equal on all four sides. I need to be able to move and position the image inside the crop area.
Â
4.) Using New, and Place… allows me to create a Canvas Size with the desired pixel dimensions and resolution, and move the placed images; they will fit without scaling. However, this results in a new file being created, and therefore the metadata is lost.
I have images of varying sizes that I need to all be cropped to a specific aspect ratio in the center of the image and extending either to the side edges or the top and bottom depending on using the maximum portion of the image. How do you set up an action to do this.
Â
If I were to do this by hand, I would use the rectangle marquee, change to fixed ratio, and drag from one edge to the other. They move the selection to the center (as best I could) . Then do Image<Crop?
Â
But I need to automate this process and have have it exactly positioned in the center. Can this be automated in an action? If so, how?
Â
FYI, I have CS5 (and CS6). I am comfortable using the image processor. So as long as I have an action set up, I can process all of my images using the image processor. I also have lightroom 4 if there is some way to do it there.
Is there a way to crop to a specific dimension? I have a 3888x2592 image and would like to crop it to 2400x1600. Problem I am having is I can get it to 2388x1589 or 2420x1619 or finally after many tries (over a minute of attempting) got it to 2399x1599. Is there any way to FORCE it to a specific dimension?
Â
Also, on export I know you can resize an image, but are you able to apply a resize within lightroom itself?Â
I have a question with batch crop. I have about 300 images of same dimension and would like crop to specific position in all of them. In photoshop, I would import all the images as a layer and crop a layer, then export the layer as an individual file.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to cut a section out of an image in a predetermined aspect ratio e.g. I want to be able to zoom into the image at any level then use some kind of tool to hover a box which is the right ratio over the area I want and basically copy it into a new document. The idea being I can then resize the new image based on size e.g. width 250px while keeping the aspect ratio, I want to do this with many pictures in order to get a consistent look on the page.

Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and people used film in their cameras, here is how I used to mark my clients' photos for cropping:
1. A photo proof would be on the table.
2. I would put a cardboard device over the photo.
3. With the device I could make a rectangular window of various standard frame sizes, like 8x10 or 5x7.
4. I would put the "window" over the photo wherever it was most pleasing, and then, with a pen, mark the outline of the area to be kept.
5. The photolab would then crop the photos accordingly.
6. The photos could then be printed to fit perfectly into frames.
Whew! Does that make sense?
Now: How do I do the equivalent in Photoshop?
I do NOT want to simply "resize" the photo. I want to CROP WITH THE FINAL SIZE IN MIND.
It seems like you could do this with the crop tool, but I can't figure out how.
I have Photshop CS4. I create a picture with a specific size in Photoshop (eample: 8.5" x 11"). I send it to the printer. In the printer box it also shows the correct print size. However when it prints it is only a small sample of the picture. An 8.5' x 11" picture from Photoshop, showing that size in the Image box and in the Photoshop print box, when sent to the printer shows at the correct size and prints it at 2-3/4" x 3-1/2". If i save the picture from Photoshop onto my desktop, then open it in Microsogt Office Picture Manager, then send it to the exact same printer, it is printed out at the correct size. I don't know why it will not print it to the correct size from Photoshop.

I know I can take the crop tool to the image and view the "Info" tab to get my 150px x 150px. But that requires a fine touch and some trial and error to get the exact crop I want.

How can I create a specific size circle?
I know how to create a circle and then size it using the rulers but isn't there some way to create the circle to a specific size right from the start?
I have a folder of images that range in size... but for the most part they are all smaller than the actual size I wish them to be. (For example: some are perfectly at 250 x 250. Some are 65 x 250. Some are 128 x 180. The point being that they all vary. )
What I need to do is have these images created and outputted at a size of 250 x 250. Every single one of them. Unfortunately I have 5000 that need to be resized. What I would normally do is create a new image at the size of 250 x 250 (background white) and import the smaller one (let's say 128 x 180) and center it. Then save the new one. Easy.
However, I would like to know how to do this "en batch". I'm sure it's possible, but I have very little experience with Photoshop.

When trying to attain a specific size for a JPEG image (60MB) I adjusted the image size by cropping the image to 8"x10", and changing the DPI to 450.
The image size window indicated that the file size was at 60 MB, which was the correct size that we wanted for the file.
After saving, the file size was way below the size indicated on the original image size (when the file was open). Upon reopening and looking at the file size, it indicated that it was still 60 MB.
I had done this same process with roughly 50 files and all of the sizes came up different (ranging from 6 MB-64 MB).
I also saved the images as PDFs after making some adjustments to the JPEG files, but the same problem of the file size changing still came up.
Does anyone know what would cause the image size to change so much?
I do know how to batch resize photos using adobe bridge and then tools>photoshop>image processor.... and resize but what i want to know is how to batch resize images to a specific size width and height without having to keep proportion.
Because right now i have a bunch of photos that are 2896 x 1944 pixels but i need it to resize to 1920 x 1080 for a stop motion clip. However photoshop wants to keep it in proportion and resizes it to 1608 x 1080 which is not what i want but i dont want to have to do them one at a time.
I'm curently using PSCS6 just for photo editing. My files typically never exceed 250MB(with layers)Â and rarely in excess of 8-9 layers.I plan on sinsatlling a 120 GB SSD scratch disk in a MacPro so just wondering if a 120GB scratch disk is sufficient - unfortunately I'm unaware of how to calculate or determine how much scratch space is required for oprimal performance.

My other option is a 1 TB 7200 RPM drive. my boot drive with Mac OSX will be on SSD as well.
I'm looking for a way to resize all the layers in my document to a specific size. I'd like to resize every layer to be exactly 6 inches in height (while keeping proportions constrained). I can manually transform every layer to do this but I haven't found a way to do this automatically to all layers, I've tried to do it as an action but it's recording it as a percentage and not a fixed height, so it doesn't work on the other layers that aren't the exact same size.Â

Is there a way, when saving jpg files to save as a specific file size, rather than quality level (currently using CS5)? I have a few clients (realtors) who require files to be 100kb (or smaller... but 100kb is the ideal to shoot for) for their listings. Â
Given I'm working with a number of images, I would like to be able to do this as a batch, rather than one at a time, getting as close to 100 as I can without going over, as I have to at this point.

The last time I used PS was about two weeks (it's summer) and I had the marquee size set to 2.18x2.18 inches. I just changed it to 2.15x4.35 inches. When I click on the image, which is about 2.25x4.45 inches, it selects an area 2.18x2.18 inches. The dimensions in the boxes are 2.15 and 4.35 inches. Feather is 0 pixels.
I have several thousand images to process. All of them end up being different sizes by the time the different editing steps have been performed.
Is it possible to setup an action that will crop the image 500x500, finding the center of the image prior to the cropping?
I need to crop image width from e.g. 1234px to 1230px. I select Crop from the menu, then enter 1230px for the width. PE then shows a marquee that is bigger than the image! I'm probably doing something wrong, but I can't tell what.

I'm running it on WIndows 8.0 x64, which has some other problems, so maybe I should just upgrade to 12?
I have hundreds of scans all from one book and I am trying to straighten and crop them all out to the same pixel amounts. For example, I have a bunch of scans that are 1000x1000 pixels with overscan on all sides, they are also all at an angle. In the end I want a folder with all the pages at 800x800 nice and straight.
So, when I open the first one, I crop and straighten it to 800x800 and then I make a custom specification at 800x800. The problem is, when I go to the next one and hit crop and pic my specification, I find out that that specification is actually for an aspect ration, not a particular dimension. I want it to automatically put the crop window to 800x800, not just restrict the crop to that aspect ratio. If this could be done it would significantly quicken my work flow.
