Photoshop :: Crop Tool Gone Buggy CS2

Feb 1, 2009

All of a sudden, my crop tool doesnt function correctly. I used to drag it down and across, giving me complete control of the area to crop. When I released the mouse, it left me with the area to crop with drag points so I could 'bump' tiny adjustments. Now when I drag it straight down I get no vertical axis at all. Then if I move it horizontally, I get the vertical I dragged it to but to get the horizontal I need, I have to drag it diagonally but I end up with way too much vertical. When I release, there are no drag points for up/down/left/right, only points at the corners to drag horizontally. What the heck happened and how do I fix it?

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Prior To CS6 Vs Perspective Crop Tool

Feb 26, 2013

In 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.

Photoshop :: Preset Crop Tool Not Matching Image Size After Crop

Jul 1, 2013

I am a labtech at a community college and look after 48 mac pros in which the students use the entire creative suite. (I only mention this becuase any answers need to consider variations in system settings or photoshop settings. college students get into everything!)
 
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]

GIMP :: Missing Crop Tool Which Can Rotate Crop Rectangle?

Aug 4, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Won't Let Me Crop

Oct 25, 2004

I 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.

Photoshop :: Buggy CS6 Requires Frequent Reinstall?

Feb 2, 2013

I use a Mac Pro 2x2.66 Dual Core Xeon tower with 15 GB Ram and OS 10.7.5. CS6 (always the latest update) is becoming very "buggy". It starts slowing way down, then does things like sharpening changes in ACR disappear when the photo is opened as a file in Photoshop, and other random little failures. Resetting preferences in both Bridge and Photoshop doesn't fix it. The only thing that works is re-installing CS-6.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Re-crop By "ratio"

Jan 22, 2008

I'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.

VideoStudio :: A Non-buggy 60fps HD Mode In X3?

Nov 15, 2010

Since the AVCHD format is really buggy (try putting text overlays exporting in AVCHD mode--the result is horrendous), what mode actually offers consistent 60fps, if any? Or does Corel not officially support 60fps?

The blu-ray modes will output a file that flipflops back and forth between 30fps and 60fps.

The HDV modes do the same thing.

And since I can't adjust the project properties to ANYTHING HD (they've crippled being able to do that), I can't adjust any sliders, it's all about selecting one of these modes. So which one offers a true 60fps in HD besides AVCHD which is buggy?

VideoStudio :: Audio Speed / Time-lapse Seems Buggy?

Aug 29, 2012

I have a video recording of an event with not so good audio, but also a separate high quality audio recording. The problem is that the audio recordign speed is not the perfect match to the video recording, and when I put them in overlap, audio runs about 2-3 seconds quicker than the video by the end; seems real bad.

the obvious solution is to adjust the speed of the audio to match the length of the video; sounds easy.

One small problem is that the audio recording and the video recording were not perfectly synced, so the audio has some superfluous part at the end, so all in all the situation is as below:

Video track length: 1:57:16

Audio track length 2:14:20 with a lot of wasted part at the end

Current length of the Desirable Audio track: 1:55:15; this is the part which should in fact finish at 1:57:16 to match the video.

Below is what I did:

1- Clipped the audio at 1:55:15, Let us call the first part of the audio (the desirable one) Audio A, and the remaining part, Audio B

2- Deleted Audio B from the audio track

3- Pressed shift and dragged Audio to match the length of the video hoping that it will speed the audio track perfectly to cover the 2 seconds gap

4- Played the audio clip to see if it worked; Result: weird. Instead of keeping the track contents as it is and only changing the speed, it somehow resurrected some contents from the Audio B. I thought I had deleted that . So now it plays the same length as the video, but with added audio contents at the end, so the problem remains where it was.

5- Pressed undo, to instead try the Speed / time-lapse dialog on Audio A. Right clicked audio A, clicked on Speed / Time-lapse and entered the time for which it should play directly.

6- played the audio clip to see if it worked; Result: same as 4.

7- Pressed undo again, and tried reducing the speed this time instead of entering the exact time manually. Even 99% stretched the video way beyond the length of the video (as I expected) but strangely enough the contents from the deleted Audio B are still appended at the end.

8- This time tried to shrink the stretched audio to the length of the video by using Shift+drag. And it works perfectly for the stretched clip, but that had the audio contents from Audio B anyway. So the result is exactly the same as 4 & 6
.
9- Trying to delete the unwanted audio bits at the end of Audio A from Audio B, and then stretching the Audio A to the right length actually reduces the Audio A further down, deleting some part of the wanted audio too :S ... thus just turning the problem upside down ..

I am using Corel videoStudio X5 Pro with Service pack 1.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool

Jun 1, 2009

The 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. Â Â Â Â Â Â  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. Â Â Â Â Â Â  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. Â Â Â Â Â Â  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,

Photoshop :: CS3 Crop Tool,

Mar 5, 2009

What I want to do is have the crop tool set at a fixed dimension, WITHOUT resampling let's say I have a picture set to 72ppi, that's 8"x8". And I want the crop tool to be fixed at 150px by 90px, res: 72ppi. What is happening now is, the crop tool is dragging the entire span of the picture, and resampling my selection to the size I specified in the options bar above. I don't want that

What I want to happen is that when I click and drag, only a fixed 150x90px box appears, so that I can't make it any bigger than that...I have done it before....but for some reason I cannot find the option to turn of resampling, or for that matter the options for deleting the cropped out space or hiding it.

Photoshop :: How To Bypass New Crop Tool CS6

Aug 21, 2012

I found out a way to handle and bypass the function so it works like in earlier versions.

1. First step is to change to classic mode (this is done in settings above the image a little "gear")

2. The second step is to change ratio to unconstrained.
 
The third step is the tip!You know when you want to crop a landscape image of a portrait image and want to go from side to side.The problem was that I started to rotate a crop frame that was there by default... REALLY CRAPPY FEATURE!
 
3. So here is the tip

Place your cursor is outside the picture Before you begin dragging, hold down shift.

Begin the dragging, then let go of shift, and "tada" the crop frame behaves as it should.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Oversharpening?

Feb 14, 2013

When I use the new crop tool in CS6 to reduce a large portrait to a small one for the Web the image is way oversharpened.If I take the same photo and use Image Resize and use Billinear or Bicubic Best for Smooth I get much better results.
 
Crop to 188px wide. Middle: Image resize with Billinear. Right: Image resize Bicubic Smooth.Never had this issue before with CS5. Is there a general resize method preference? I'm on Windows 7 64bit if it makes any difference.

Photoshop :: CS6 / Crop Tool Changes Its Orientation?

Dec 11, 2012

I have a crop tool preset I made in landscape orientation to size photos all the same for a data-merged book I do every year. With CS6 I noticed a new and annoying behavior; if I move the crop tool too far to the left, it automatically changes the crop area to portrait. If this is supposed to be a feature, it's a most unwelome one. If my crop preset is landscape, then that's what I want. I'd like to know if there is a way to disable this "feature".

Photoshop :: CS6 Crop Tool Performance Lag?

Sep 26, 2012

I’ve been using the new Crop Tool on some moderately large files (2GB range) that contain layers, SOs and big data.  I use the crop command without resampling (just changing the aspect ratio) and without deleting cropped pixels.
 
after the committing the crop, does the crop take so long to implement?  No interpolation is taking place, no pixels are being altered… all that is happening is I’m changing the visible canvas area… yet PS churns away like it’s performing some complex task.  I see this on both my work and home machines.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Improvements In CS7

Jun 10, 2013

It's seems like Adobe has listened and improved the "Classic" crop tool to "almost" exactly like it is in CS5.x.  I've downloaded and installed the latest version of Photoshop CC (PIRATED VIRUS FILENAME REMOVED) and the "classic" crop tool is almost perfect... bringing back the perspective check box would be wonderful.  It was never in the way and a very useful part of the crop tool.
 
My question to Adobe is:   Will the "boxed" version of Photoshop CS7 also include theses changes?  I do not want to purchase the cloud.  I want a box and a disc that is mine to use.
