I am using Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 and I'm experiencing an issue with the crop tool. Whenever I use the crop tool, move the frame around and then zoom in on the image, the image becomes noisy, pixelated or has other 'graphic glitches'. I changed the PS preferences to not use the GPU and then rebooted the computer. Still the same issue without the GPU.

Running on Mac OS 10.8.3, iMac 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
my crop tool has gone 'pale' on the list under 'image' and won't work. How can I get it back?
View 5 Replies View RelatedMy crop tool works when pictures are in landscape orientation but not portrait orientation. This is a new problem that has developed within the last week. 80% of my pictures are taken in portrait orientation. A message pops up that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error."

Â
1. For example, I have a scanned image that is 26.14 x 20.32 cm @300ppi
2. I have defined a size called 'Half Page' which is 23.5 x 15.5 cm @300ppi
Â
Now, what i would expect is that:
1. The moment i open the scanned image, click the crop tool and select the 'Half Page' setting, the crop boundaries would show up up at the correct setting in terms of size and resolution.
2. I should then have a window within which i could move the image to get the parts i want into the crop box.
Â
This is not happening:
1. The crop size (box) is showing as 23.5 x 15.5.
2. The info is showing as 26.14 x 17.24
3. The image size is showing the same and @ 300ppi.
Crop tool still pale and not working. Tried suggested rest of tools to default. Nothing! How to make or submit a screen shot unfortunately.
View 5 Replies View RelatedFor some time now, i am experiencing graphics problems in Photoshop. When i import a smart object from illustrator and apply effects to it (stroke, bevel, shadow etc.) weird glitches seems to appear. I've uploaded an image to show the problem. The problem is also visible when i save my work as jpg. I've already tried turning off Open GL and deleting my old preference file.
it has a negative effect on my workflow, since i can't use smart objects anymore. I'm working on a macbook pro with snow leopard 10.8.6 installed. I've also updated my system and all adobe software.
My crop tool has suddenly stopped working. It reduces everything to one pixel.
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.

If I start with a 400x400 image and want to crop it using the Crop Tool, instead of a second or so (which was my experiance with CS) it takes a couple of minutes, and results in a very large file ... often about 30,000x30,000.

But the issue is when you select the crop tool and enter a custom constraint and crop

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]

View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 1 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 4 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 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,
