How do I make the crop tool work?

Okay, The image is in adjustment view. It has a white border around it. I checked the box that says crop on it. I hover the cursor over the corners. The cursor does not change to crop tool. When I press on the crop icon it beeps a reject sound. Not sure how to phrase that. New to Aperture. Help

There is no "adjustment view" in Aperture.
What happens if you double-click the image with the selection box around it?  That should take you from the Browser to the Viewer.  Then, in the Crop Brick, click the little "cropping corners" icon, and you should be able to crop.
"c" is the shortcut for bringing up the crop tool when you are in the Viewer.  Notice that the tools in the toolstrip (on the bottom border of the viewing area) change depending on whether you are using the Browser or the Viewer.
Strongly suggest reading the first seven chapters of the User Manual.  Aperture is a rich and complex continent, mostly submerged.  The first seven chapters provide a guide to the flora and fauna, as well as a map.

    A lot more information about your hardware and software is needed.
    BOILERPLATE TEXT:
    If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
    such as your platform (Mac or Win),
    exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CC", but something like CC2014.v.2.2) and of Bridge,
    your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
    the type of file you were working on,
    machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
    what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
    what error message(s) you receive,
    if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
    if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
    a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
    etc.,
    someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

  • How do I make the line tool work again?

    Can you help me make the line tool operate properly again? I just now accidentally touched something on my keyboard. And now, when I click on the Line Tool in the Tools Panel, and then press the "x" key to toggle the color of the line tool between being black, or being white, neither options works anymore. Now, when I draw a line, it does not apply a black line to my drawing. And when I toggle and press the "x" key again, it doesn"t apply a white line to the drawing either. When the line tool is "white", and I draw a line across a black area, nothing happens. The white line tool doesn't apply to the drawing.
    When I've gone to your "help" menu, I'm instructed to press the "Object Drawing Button" in the "Tool Panel". But I've looked at every item in the "Tool Panel" and I cannot find the "Object Drawing Button"..
    Can you give me the steps that will help me make the line tool work once again?
    Thanks, Mardty Anderson

    Thank you for taking your time to respond. I'm using Adobe Photoshop
    Elements 11.
    A colleague was able to get the problem solved. He chose the "star"
    instead of the line. The star worked fine and showed up on the drawing
    I'm working on. Then he switched back to the "line". Lo and belold, the
    line worked. It's been working fine ever since. Maybe it was a bug in
    the program?
    Do you know how to use the Picture Organizer in this Photoshop program?
    I have several thousand illustrations. The Organizer seems to recognize
    some of them (like 5 or 6). But most all of them only appear as a blue
    box with a flower design in it. When I click on the blue box, more
    pictures appear, but only very quickly does a picture flash up on the
    screen, and then it disappears again.
    I wish there was a tutor here in the Tucson, Arizona area that I could
    hire who could come to our office and coach me. There are several of us
    who don't understand this Photo Organizer. Do you know of any leads in
    which we could hire a personal tutor for a morning?
    Thanks again for your kind response to my first call for help, (Miss)

  • Make the Crop Tool in PSE5 snap to document bounds

    Is there a way to make the crop tool in PSE5 snap to the document bounds (which was the default behaviour in V2 and v3)?
    The grid option doesn't work, because the bottom of the image may not align to a grid line. The trick of starting outside the image, drawing past that corner and then holding CTRL to constrain the opposite edge works, but only if you're cropping to two edges of the image, and loses the snap if you try and adjust anything.
    Is there any equivalent of the "snap to document bounds" of the earlier versions?
    Thanks
    Andrew

    Hi Andrew,
    I believe I know exactly what you mean. My workaround is to make the whole photo smaller than the window I am working in (leave an inch of grey around the edges, for example). Then I click the crop tool about half-an-inch outside one corner and drag to half-an-inch (or so) beyond the opposite corner. You will then have your full picture selected right on the edges. Maybe that could work for you.

  • I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have a new iPhone 5C, have the sounds alerts set up. But I'm not getting sound alerts for new voicemail, only the red circle on the screen.  How can I make the sound alert work?

    I have had this same problem for weeks now with my 4S.  I just got a new 5S after being extremely frustrated and the same thing - no sounds.  After searching posts all over, I couldn't find a solution. I just told my friend of the issue and he asked "Do you have the Do Not Distrub on?"  I didn't even know such a function existed.  Upon looking that was exactly the issue.
    To resolve, go to Settings> Do Not Disturb> Manual.  If it is green, turn it off.  You will now get phone calls and text alerts.
    This functionality is also on your quick access utility menu (slide up menu).  I assume this is how it was enabled on my phone.
    I will post on other sites since I searched for weeks for this solution and didn't see it anywhere.  Good luck!

  • How do I make the Brush Tool remember settings for each new stroke?

    Using
    Windows 7 x64
    Illustrator CC 2014
    I'm finally attempting to draw directly in Illustrator and already want to shoot myself.
    How do I make the Brush Tool remember stroke size and profile?
    I need each stroke to be tapered at both ends and be a certain stroke size.
    But each stroke I make, I have to edit that one path  to be correct.
    What gives?

    Got some results today so I'll share.
    Thanks again for reminding me about the 'basic appearance setting'.

  • How do you make the 'places' function work in iphoto

    `i have just imported a lot of old photos from my 2007 macbook onto a new macbook pro with ilife 09. `i am trying to make the places function work but can't get it to work. The 'i' icon does not appear in the bottom right hand corner of the events main photo as it's supposed too. Any suggestions?

    Simply open an event; select 1 or more photos and select the i in the lower right corner of a photo thumbnail. You will get the Geocoding window. Start typing the address/place/country in the location area. For detailed addresses you select new place. You can resize the window. Maps from google appears and you select the place it finds. You can even drag the pin to a specific area. Press ok and your done.

  • How can I make the web server work on port 80 and not 443. I can only access my website using https.

    On a Mac Mini server with OS X Lion 10.7.2, I am unalbe to get the web server working on port 80. It switches automatically to port 443 (https).
    This situation complicates the access to FileMaker Web publishing, as I don't want my clients having to use https.
    How can I change that? Does anyone know?
    Thanks for any reply

    in the server: I checked the SSL certificate. Tried several configuration.
    Well, that's a problem for a start.
    Your port 80 connection should NOT use SSL. Port 80 is the standard HTTP port, not HTTPS and most applications that connect to port 80 will not expect to use SSL
    If you want to run a site under both HTTP and HTTPS then you create two sites, one on port 80 without SSL and one on port 443 with SSL

  • How can I make the FN buttons work with an older notebook?

    Hi,
    I have the Satellite 5200-902 notebook. Unfortunately there is no support for such an "old" notebook like this concerning Windows Vista. Vista runs great on it but the only thing I didn´t make is to make to FN buttons work in Vista.
    Can someone please give me an advice ?
    Thanks

    Hello Danny
    Unfortunately I do not believe you will have success with those buttons. The fact is that Toshiba use self designed utility for functionality of all FN buttons. As you know, old notebook models are not vista supported and you will not be able to find and install any utility for that.
    Sorry but there is nothing to do.

  • How can I make the ruler guides work?

    I am working on a large document. For some reason, I cannot extend the ruler guides onto most pages. They will appear on some pages though. Does anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

    If the mouse is over a page when you release, the guide will be confined to that page, so horizontal guides will appear only on one side of a two-page spread. You can hold Ctrl (Cmd) while dragging to make them extend across the entire spread and pasteboard, or releas the mouse over the pasteboard for the same result.

  • How can I make the ${foo} syntax work?

    Hello,
    I have a jsp page and I am using Webwork with the action class exposing beans to the ognl value stack.
    Should I be able to write ${foo} with JSTL? I get the expected value if I write <c:out value="${foo}"/> I do get the expected value.
    The real reason I am asking is because I am trying to use a custom taglib and the parameters are not being evaluated. For example, ${accounts} should represent a collection and when I use <input:selectBox options="${accounts}"/> - the actual string "${accounts}" is passed to the tag. I would really appreciate some help. Thank you very much.
    I am using apache-tomcat 4.1.39 with jakarta-taglibs-standard-1.0.6 for the JSTL implementation. Thank you very much for any help you might be able to offer.
    Regards,
    Joe

    Thank you very much for the response... that makes a lot of sense. I still have 1 question though... this is the strange part;
    The standard JSTL taglibs seem to be able to handle the ${} syntax yet I am also working with a custom taglib that does not seem to have the tags parsed. If you can help me fix this, I would be extremely grateful...
    This works fine:
    <c:forEach items="${accounts}" var="account">
         <c:out value="${account.accountNumber}"/>
    </c:forEach>
    But, when using the custom taglib:
    <input:selectBox options="${accounts}"/>
    the options value in the tag class is actually "${accounts}" and no the list which ${accounts} represents. Do you have any idea as to why this would occur? Here is the tld (snipped to show the parts I am referring to)
         <tag>
              <name>selectBox</name>
              <tag-class>example.SelectBoxTag</tag-class>
              <body-content>JSP</body-content>
              <display-name>selectBox</display-name>
              <attribute>
                   <name>options</name>
                   <required>false</required>
                   <rtexprvalue>true</rtexprvalue>
                   <type>java.lang.Object</type>
                   <description>Any collection of elements to be added to select list</description>
              </attribute>
         </tag>
    thank you very much.
