Photoshop :: Cropping To Keyed In Dimensions
Jul 21, 2013
I am having problems with the cropping tool, Working with a fine art 800dpi 16 bit scan and I want to create an accurate crop to keyed in dimensions, in this case 12 cm x 12cm. Everything I try to key in the width and height dimensions, leaving resolution blank, I get varying results.
Either the crop box just sticks to the original scan size which is bigger or is not drawing to 12 x 12cm, usually smaller when I check off against rulers, despite keying in 12 x 12cm! Erratic results for any other dimensions I type in when I view against rulers. Tried clearing in case settings are sticky but to no avail. Can do this all day long in Elements 11 with consistent results. Tried everything in CS 6.

I am trying to crop or resize an image that is originally 2,122 x 1,415 px | 7.1 x 4.7 in | 300 dpi. I am to crop/resize image to fit 756 x 275 px. However, I don't want to lose the whole image. I would like to use the whole image just adjust it to the dimensions.
Â
How can I accomplish this without creating any distortion or by removing elements by cropping the image?

Why don't Pixel Dimensions (and Document Size) change for Image Size after cropping with "Use Photo Ratio" like it does after cropping with "No Restriction"? Using Photoshop Elements 10 and Crop Tool defaults.

I am using a pre-built virtual newsroom set. The artist has setup the scene using final render and in the environment there is 'beach_probe.hdr' I have tracked the talent on greenscreen (w/alpha) and want to import the talent with the tracking into the set. What is the preferred method for placing the talent in 3d space for proper placement and using the tracking data?

I am experiencing a strange issue on a comp I am working with, and due to the way its set up, and the pre-comps etc, I am not even sure how to go about asking the questions!
Â
1) To start:
Â
I have a comp with 3 Footage layers. One 4K Moving background image from Video blocks, interpreted at 25FPS. One R3D clip of one of our ships, camera on a tripod and ship "Waggling" slightly up and down - kept in RAW mode for clean keying. A duplicate of this layer, used as the colour corrected layer.
Â
I have a Comp that contains the RAW footage, Keyed, and the colour corrected footage below it and set to Alpha matte.
Â
Above is the settings and the output of the ships wing.
Â
This is then precomped, and engine glows, contrails and thrusters etc are added with Null objects, lights, optical flares and particular:
Â
at this point, everything looks great, this is then further precomped into a new comp, where it is placed above the background layer - and here is where the issue happens. It is almost as if the trackmatte is a frame or two behind the colour layer:
Â
<-- notice the blue edging from the blue screen.
Â
I track these layers backwards and forwards through the precomps, and I cant figure out why this happens?
Â
(there are keyframes on the trackers above, and the contrail precomps for position, and a scale change over time on the ship layer in the final comp.) If I pull the ships precomp into the final comp as a new layer - the issue remains. If I double click to open the ship layer, the issue is not visible.

Maybe I'm doing this totally wrong, but why can't I output just the man and a transparent background? The key is clean in Premiere. The output file (shown) is 32 bit, so there is an alpha channel, but when played in VLC player you see the noisy background instead of black or transparent. I want to send a client a cleanly keyed video for for further editing.

I was adding a lot of aligned dimensions to a drawing and some where along the way they changed from aligned dimensions to rotated dimensions, even in the same string of dimensions.

I typically as much as possible like to insert my dimensions into my drawing from my model.
I created holes in the model as a 1/4" tapped hole
Yet when I show the dimensions in the drawing they show the minor dimension.
How do I get the 1/4" to show? I have selected the feature and still get these results.

Also be sure to pick the 'aligned dimension' method and not the 'linear dimension'. I hope that works in Revit as it does in AutoCAD.

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.

I want to scientifically crop 2 pixels away from an image. The image is not square but the crop will be. Is there a handy tool to do that?

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.

I go to crop or use the marquee tool(such as to make a border, when I put the cursor where I want it and left click to start cropping(for example) very often the cropping lines just do not stay where I want them...they go all over the place. This happens with both tools...

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.

I haven't been able to figure out how to use the Straighten tool without cropping.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
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.
Â
I am accessing the Straighten tool via the Crop tool. Is there any other method to Straighten?
Â
The screenshots below show the original Image Size (top) and the Image Size after Straighten (bottom).

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.
Â
The Issue?
Â
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.

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.

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.
Â
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.
Â
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?

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.

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?

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.Â
[URL]...
Â
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.
Â
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!

If I may, I'd like to know the answer to this. For my own edification....
Â
I have an image that is 16 x 24 inches. It has a certain file size.
Â
When I crop the image with the cropping tool, and set the tool to 16 inches wide by 24 inches high, the image file size increases significantly.
Â
Is this what is called "resampling?"Â The setting in the image size is set for Bicubic (for smooth gradients).
Â
As an example, I saved the file (from a RAW conversion to jpg), and it was 14 Mb. When I cropped it, it jumped to 19 Mb.

I have a multilayer image, I want to only crop one of the layers. When I do crop, it crops the entire image. Can this be done w/out moving the layer to a new file, cropping and then moving back to the original file?
