Is it possible to use the crop tool but have an image fill overlay instead of a grid overlay? I do a lot of photo editing where the image has to be in certain boundaries but also has a complicated background, and I'd like to reduce a step.
View 3 RepliesI must have dreamed this but I thought I saw that LR 5 had the ability to create a cropping overlay from an image. My goal is to create a quicker way to place a date on 5x7 and wallets so that it works for both prints. I want WHCC's wallet guide as an overlay.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a PNG image with only one layer as a start point. It has a faded map on it.
I have a second PNG image with a hex grid on it. I do colour to Alpha to establish transparency on the hex grid for white filled hexes (others are not filled with white).
Now, I wish to overlay a portion of the first image with the faded map with the non-transparent part of the second image.
So I select by colour (for the hexes not filled with white) on the second image (the overlay) and I then paste to the first image (after creating a transparency layer and selecting it to receive the overlay).
I see the desired overlay section (minus any transparent stuff as expected), however it is centered over the map in the first image, not where I want it to be. It is a floating selection and must be anchored. So I select the anchor icon in the layer dialog and I think I anchor it into the transparency layer on the first image (that's what I'm trying to do anyway).
And then my problem:
I want to move the thing I just pasted in to the right place with respect to the underlying faded map. I attempt to use the move tool, but all I move is the background map (pretty much the opposite of what I want).
Nothing I do seems to let me reselect the pasted-in overlay so that I can move it.
Why I can't ever reposition the pasted in overlay? It should be in the transparency layer I created but even if I select all, I don't seem to be able to move anything other than the background image.
I have some text on a transparent background. I want to apply an image over the text so that the image is only within the text lines.

I have an image that is 16 x 24 inches. It has a certain file size.
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.
Is this what is called "resampling?" The setting in the image size is set for Bicubic (for smooth gradients).
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.
is this possibile? I want to leave no extra areas or canvas space0 around my image.

I have this picture and i want to crop out certain area of the image. is it me or is it the crop tool that cannot do a free resizing, like the FREE TRANSFORM TOOL (CTRL+T).. From what i see, i can only edit the croping picture by clicking the Perspective check box. Is it normal ? Another problem is that the picture instead of resizing to the size of the croped measurements, it takes the original 1024 x 768 length and width and fills up that size.. in other words the cropped imaged maxmise itself to fit the whole original size pic.. i was quite sure this didnt happen when i was using Photoshop 7..

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow do you take a text image with a white background and make it invisible so when you put it on top of another image, only the text shows. The text has a shadow and a reflection, and it is it's own image.
Also, does photoshop have any kind of wordart? I used powerpoint to add shadow and reflection and glow to my text, but it would be perfect if photoshop had some kind of alternative (I'm sure it does, I just couldn't find it).
I have a psd with 15 layers inside. All the layers are icons and some of these have a bit of whitespace and I wanted to crop each icon to clean it up.
I tried to select the layer and use the rectangular marquee and then hitting crop. All this does is crop the entire psd.

Two times in the last 15 minutes Photoshop CS has caused my Mac to crash.
It happens when I try to crop an image. I am trying to crop a .tif using the crop tool constrained to the proportion of 720x480 at 300ppi.
A few weeks ago Photoshop CS was telling me that my scratch disks were full and wouldn't allow me to crop. I checked the scratch disk designation in the preferences of Photoshop CS and it was totally fine... 27 gigs of room, which should be MORE than enough.
Just installed Elements 11 on a new Asus ET2300 all-in-one with Windows 8. Resolution is set at a recommended 1920x1080. I opened a jpeg in Elements and cropped the image to a square, but when I hit Print, what I see on the print set-up screen (and what actually prints) is an image with a good part of the top and bottom missing (although there is also a small image in the upper left corner that looks intact). I tried setting the computer resolution to 1600x900 and the image was severely cropped on the sides. If I choose one of the other resolution options, I guess that I might get a square or something close to it, but I assume that will effect my results in viewing venues.

how to change it from a square image to one with a rounded top and bottom-right corner. Also a 2 pixel shadow going up the right side and along the bottom. I can manually draw in those two pixels easily enough. But the corners look terrible when I try to manually do it.
I have been cropping the new image to the proper size, and then drawing in the two pixel fade on the side and bottom. Then trying to pixel by pixel create the rounded edges.
Before you say "Its a drop shadow!" please remember, in order for me to copy that exact drop shadow, I would need to know all their settings, colors, pixel widths, etc. All I have is a flat, finished image, so I have none of that information. Plus, I don't know how to do a drop shadow on a curved corner, which deletes the original squared corner on the image.
I must have accidentally changed a setting as now, after I crop an image, I appears much smaller and when I try to resize it back it's very distorted. How can I fix this?
