I noticed something strange about my crop tool.
Several times, I've attempted to crop & after hitting "enter" it crops my document to 1x1 pixel.
Don't know what's going on here? Anyone have a advice to this situation?
I have a 146 gig hard drive with 3 gigs of ram. Im currently using PS10 as part of CS3 to finish a job and will then be loading CS4 with the new Photoshop, which I have. I tried Vista Ultimate and after nearly cracking up, went back to XP Pro SP3. I had a Nec Multisynch CRT and decided to go for a new LCD monitora Lacie 320, which Im most unhappy with.
The problem is screen resolution. According to the Lacie specs, monitors should be set at 1600 x 1200. At that resolution, Photoshop as well as the rest of the CS, and the visuals that I create in PS, are all minuscule, and my three websites look stupid. I called Lacie tech support, and they said that I could go down to 1400 x 1050 but no further without distortion.
There are three problems: 1) Even with adjustments in XP, I still have to keep my nose to the screen at 1400 x 1050 to see PS menus, read PS help etc., and would like the resolution to be at 1024 x 768; 2) indeed, 48+ % of computer users have monitors set at 1024 x 768 or lower and will have the pleasure of seeing what I cannot see and would like to see; 3) 38 % of computer users have monitors set at 1920 x 1200 and will see my work as postage stamps,
The situation: Not long after CS3 came out I installed it on PC "A". About a year later I built PC "B" to replace PC "A". I installed CS3 on PC "B" with activation being successful. Eventually (totally forgetting about activation) I tore the innards out of PC "A" and rebuilt it from the new motherboard up, including the hard drives. I installed CS3 on PC "A" this morning only to be informed via dialog that there were too many activations and that I should purchase a new serial number. No phone number. No leads to a phone number that I could find.

The files were jpgs and when I finished work on them I chose save as, I didn't want to effect the original file. So I selected save as and saved them as tiffs. When the files went to my desktop they were still labeled as jpegs but the files size had tripled. I tried to open them in PS shop but it said it was an unreadable jpeg. What's going on? Why can't I save a JPG as a tiff?
Also is there anyway to get PS to add the file tag? I use a mac and it doesn't put jpg or tiff at the end of the file name. I need it for my online printer.
I'm doing a LOT of tracing of raster files on illustrator. After using the image trace function to vectorize a raster file, I further edit the vector. I select the vector file, place the raster file I will trace from on top, and begin to erase sections of the vector that don't line up with the raster file. The problem I'm encountering is that I have to hide the raster layer (the one I'm tracing from) each time I want to add (paint) to the vector. Is there a way I can paint on the vector without hiding (or effecting) the topmost raster layer?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have run into an issue relating to the differences in the way Mudbox and Maya subdivide meshes. My workflow for creating blend shapes is as follows:
1. Create base head mesh in Maya
2. Import base head mesh into Mudbox and subdivide to level 2
3. Create a Mudbox layer on top of base head mesh to sculpt each blend shape (e.g., browsMidUp)
4. For each blend shape, export the level 0 mesh to Maya for use as a blend shape on the base head mesh
Here is where it all falls apart.
When I smooth the blend shape in Maya (either by choosing smooth preview or by selecting Mesh>Smooth), the smoothed mesh in Maya differs from that in Mudbox. In the case of browsMidUp, the blend shape created in Mudbox only modified the brows. However, in Maya when the blend shape is smoothed the mouth opens up (i.e., the lips smooth differently in Maya than Mudbox, causing the mouth to open).
This is incredibly frustrating because I did not discover this problem until after I created approximately 35 blend shapes in Mudbox!I believe I can work around my current error. However, I would like to know how others approach the creation of blend shapes.Do you use Mudbox? If so, how do prevent issues associated with smoothing differences?
I'm a fairly new photoshop user (a convert from fireworks - finally outgrew it) and the issue i'm having is major slowness in photoshop. I am 100% certain it is because I have over 5000 fonts installed on my computer. This never presented a problem for fireworks so I never thought it would be a problem for photoshop.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Photoshop will hang, even crash sometimes and overall be far too slow with all these fonts. I installed PS on an identical computer that I have without the fonts and it ran much better.
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]

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 3 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 9 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 followed directions on a site to make this gif project. But there is way too much white area on it. How do you crop the extra stuff out?
It is 400x400. If I knew I would of had all that extra I would not have made the background that big.
somehow by accident on CS - maybe an accidently keystroke shortcut - i've messed with the 'crop' settings. now i can only crop with a preset ratio.
does this make sense? i have no control over vertical or horizontal crop - it only stays in the same shape.
I'm using CS3 & have just tried to edit some images. When I crop & press enter, the image crop doesn't take, I'm presented with a tiny dot in the middle of the screen which if you zoom in becomes a rectangle, but my image is gone (undo crop restores this). Upon checking this with other images I discover it occurs all the time.
How can I get my crop function back?
how do i crop a picture so that i take what i want only and just delete the rest?

View 2 Replies View RelatedEver since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and started to use the new crop tool, I get this quite interesting visual error and some artifacting.
I didn't have the problem with the crop tool in the previous versions of Photoshop.
Croping by moving the mouse just is not working. Is there a way to crop more precisely? Putting in the measurements I want it to crop to would work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to crop an image & CS4 all of a sudden isn't cropping the image. It completely disappears when I go through the process. Here's the process I have been using & always works until now.
1. Open the image
2. Select the crop tool
3. click & drag to cover the area I want to keep, while the area I want to crop is shaded black
4. hit "Enter"
5. the image is cropped.
Ok, now what's happening is when I hit Enter (step 5) the image completely disappears off the screen.

in cs6 how to crop and simply crop the image a la what was had in cs5?
I want to do a straight simple crop and end up with the cropped image (no crop box borders) only.
How to do this?
So, I absolutely love a lot of the changes I've come across so far. I am very happy with the crop tool changes except for one thing. I work on hundreds of B/W headshots at a time where all I do is crop>curves. Up until CS6, when in the crop tool it would still show tone info in the info pallette. Now it shows nothing. This puts a crimp in my workflow because I either have to open the curves dialog or switch to the eyedropper tool to see if I need to apply curves. I have noticed that if I hide the crop area it will revert to showing the info .
Also, with the curves dialog I am going to complain about something that started with CS5. The 'click and drag in image to modify curve' feature is pretty cool but it should respect my option settings. I work with it displaying the amount of pigment but the click and drag feature doesn't respect this setting.
As I said small issues (especially the second one) but it would be nice to get them changed.
