Photoshop :: CS6 Cropping Tool

Oct 11, 2012

Ok, I understand that the kids at Adobe would like to change things around in "upgrade versions" of Photoshop.  However for working photographers and professionals that crop A LOT of images in the course of their work, the new cropping tool is a DISASTER!  A few may like the new tool... however, there are many that don't. 

[URL]...
 
To the point, here's how to fix the problem.  Adobe, you have the CS5 PS cropping tool code... please put that code EXACTLY as it is in CS5 into the "Classic" option for CS6 PS.  This way, those who WORK with Photoshop and PAY to use the software can get their work done using the excellent crop tool as was in CS5 (which I have downgraded to so I can get work done) and those who are giddy about the new crop tool can play to their hearts content.
 
Adobe, you are upsetting a lot of paying clients with your new crop tool and the "faux" classic tool option.  You might want to address this issue soon!

Photoshop :: Cropping Tool In CS6

Aug 5, 2012

I am having difficulty with the new cropping tool in CS6... It is said to be a huge leap forward, however, I am finding it to be a big step backward.
 
The Issue?
 
In all of my previous versions of Photoshop I have been able to go to the crop tool, set the size that I wanted the photo to be after cropping and that would be the size I get. This is something that I can no longer do in CS6... Or if I can it is not as simple. As a professional Photographer that takes anywhere from 500 to 900 photos per sporting event that I do, I need to be able to quickly go in and crop my photos to the size I want them to be and away I go.

How to continue this feature in the new Photoshop I will glad take it... but as of right now, I do not have the time to sit there and fiddle with the crop tool until the images is the size that I need it to be.

Is it too much to ask to be able to say I want a Photo cropped to 8x12 and actually get that?! For right now I will be going back to using my CS5 Photoshop so I can actually get my photos done.

Photoshop :: Possible To Get Same Cropping Tool In ACR Which Already Exists In LR4 And CS6

Feb 13, 2013

Is it possible to get the same cropping tool in ACR, which already exists in LR4 and PS CS6?
 
When Photoshop CS6 was released the crop tool within Photoshop itself was updated with a new interface, similar to that in Lightroom. Why did Adobe not also update the crop tool in ACR, Adobe Camera Raw? As it is an essential part of Photoshop CS6?
 
Basically, why does ACR 7 still have the old crop tool interface, while the Lightroom and Photoshop products both are having the new crop tool interface?

Photoshop :: Cropping Tool Has Gone Haywire

Sep 10, 2013

The cropping tool no longer works simply and efficiently. Instead of just drawing a rectangle around what I want to keep, it sort of floats vertically for a distance, then stops. There is also a grid of six squares, which I don't need.

Photoshop :: ACR 7 (CS6) Cropping Tool / No Dropdown Menu

May 31, 2012

I have installed CS PS 6 on my Windows 7, 64 bit computer.  When I go to ACR through Bridge and try to crop an image by clicking on the crop tool icon, the drop down menu for the cropping tool is VERY sporadic.  It will sometimes show me the different cropping ratios, but most of the time, there is no drop down menu, or it is VERY SLOW to respond.  It does this with my mouse and also with my Wacom Intuos 4.  All other features seem to be working normally.
 
I have found that if I  press "C" for crop and right-click on an image, the drop-down menu does appear, but this has never happend to me on any other PS.

Photoshop :: Layer Effects And Cropping Tool

Aug 23, 2012

With the new features added to the Crop tool I've noticed when you clip and image the remaining pixels "hidden" by the crop still are affected by layer effects.  I've cropped an image, clipped it, removed the background and when I apply a drop shadow to the remaining pixels, the edge of my photo has a shadow.  Other than clipping first, then cropping away, Is the best solution to set the crop tool to delete cropped pixels?

Photoshop :: CS6 Crop Tool - Cropping Bound Box Appear Over Image

May 6, 2012

In Photoshop CS6, the moment you select the Crop Tool, a "cropping bounding box" appears instantly over the image. This didn't happen in CS5. In CS5 I would be able to click and start dragging the Crop Tool 'outside' the image and then drag into it so that my "cropping bounding box" (don't know what to call it) would snap to the edges of the image.

In CS6, since this box is automatically there already over the entire image, clicking outside the image invokes some unwanted rotation action.

Paint Shop Pro :: Cropping Tools - Blank Icons On Floating Tool Bar

Jun 14, 2012

For some reason when I use the cropping tool the floating tool bar has blank icons on it. Sometimes there may be lines in them like they tried to load but most of the time they are just completely white.

They still work and everything but you have to run your mouse over them and wait for the box to pop-up thats says what it is to see which one you need.

Photoshop :: CS4 Cropping

Jun 7, 2009

I just got Photoshop CS4 (Design Suite Standard) last week after having used Elements (2, then 3) for the last five years.  In Elements, when you use the crop tool, you can move the entire frame around by clicking on the dot in the center and moving it. It seems that in CS4, when I attempt to move the frame, only the center dot moves without moving the frame lines.  I looked through the PDF manual, but couldn't find any explanation how to change this. I'll likely be back with more questions as I try to learn how to use CS4.

Photoshop :: CS4 Cropping

Jun 30, 2009

I select the area to be cropped on the image.

Select "image>crop" and enter.

The picture disappears.

I had this happen with CS3 once; it was suggested to reinstall;

This time I have reinstalled PS CS4 twice (uninstalled first) and it still does this.

My PS CS3 was a separate PS package; the CS4 is part of the Adobe Creative Suite 4 (standard). The second reinstall, I reinstalled the whole Creative Suite. Still does the disappearing act.

Photoshop :: Cropping In CS3

Jul 24, 2007

I am having problem to crop using ratio instead of values of inches or pixels. In cs2 if i enter any values eg. 6 in width and 4 in height w/out specifying the unit it will use that value as ration instead, in this case 6:4. No resolution as i dont want to resample.

But when i tried this in cs3 it will use the value and i will get a 6 by 4 inches image instead of ratio.

Photoshop :: Straighten Without Cropping?

Nov 10, 2012

I haven't been able to figure out how to use the Straighten tool without cropping.
 
I am starting with a full page image with Pixel Dimensions of 9750 x 13050 pixels, and a Document Size of 8.125 x 10.875 inches. I want to use the Straighten tool, and then use the Patch tool to fix the resulting irregularities around the edges.
 
But no matter what I try, I end up with smaller Pixel Dimensions and a smaller Document Size; for example: 9725 x 13016 pixels and 8.104 x 10.847 inches. This occurs regardless of whether I have the Delete Cropped Pixels boxed checked.
 
I also tried starting with a Canvas Size of 8.125 x 10.875 inches, and using Place…to bring in the image. But the Straighten process still results in a similar reduction in the Pixel Dimensions and Document Size.
 
I am accessing the Straighten tool via the Crop tool. Is there any other method to Straighten?
 
The screenshots below show the original Image Size (top) and the Image Size after Straighten (bottom).

Photoshop :: Cropping Tools In CS5

Jan 9, 2013

I have a question regarding the cropping tool in PS CS5. When I attempt to crop an image by manually entering the dimensions in the top of PS it takes an insane amount of time.

I have yet to actually have an image complete the process because after waiting about 30 minutes to only have the image be at 30% progress I cancel the operation. It is only when I enter the dimensions manually that it does this. When I just do a random crop the task is done in a matter of seconds.

Photoshop :: CS6 - Cropping CR2 File?

Feb 24, 2013

I'm new to CS6 and I'm having trouble cropping .CR2 files. Basically, I've just found out that I've been editing all of my RAW files as JPGs on CS5, which meant that I've been storing those huge files on my computer, but haven't been using them to their full potential. Now on CS6 I discovered Camera Raw, but I'm a bit confused as to how cropping a .CR2 file works on Camera Raw and on CS6.
 
If I open my .CR2 on Camera Raw, click 'Open Image' then use the Crop Tool, the image looks incredibly grainy (see below).However, if I open on Camera Raw and crop it there before clicking 'Open Image', it looks fine (see below). Why is that?I'm using a 5184 x 3456 px, ISO 400, 43mm, 0 EV, f/5.6, 1/60 .CR2 file and cropping it to 714 x 516 px. The image doesn't look grainy on Preview.
 
Also, when I open the .CR2 file on Photoshop, the image looks really dull and lifeless compared to when I see it on iPhoto (see below). Is that because the RAW file is stripped of all settings to give me more flexibility when editing it? If so, is there a way to match the settings that I see on iPhoto?

Photoshop :: Use CTRL-key When Cropping Always?

In previous versions of PS I could just move the crop area around freely, rotating and resizing it. But now it seems it always snaps to is default position and I need to keep the CTRL-key pressed if I want to move it around without snapping.

Photoshop :: Cropping From A Directory

Feb 18, 2012

I have a directory from a client with around 20,000 photos. most are in landscape format, while some in portrait format. The client wants all the photos cropped to 800x600 for the landscape and 600x??? for the portrait. With such a large number of photos what is the best way to get this done. Is there any type of logic I can apply to a photoshop script that can determine the image size and what it should be cropped, or resized to?
