There is no crop. You need to resize the canvas and manually
reposition your content
to suit the new size.
You could write JSFL script to do it for you but judging by
the amount of content I would
say it's a overkill.
Perhaps someone else did that already, google for "JSFL Crop
Command"...

HOW TO: Action to resize & center crop images of various sizes

Hello,
I've gotten a lot of help here over the years so I wanted to share an action I created. I needed to resize and automatically center crop images of various sizes for my company's website. For example: All images needed to be 900px x 460px 72dpi - and because input images were from many different sources, the dimensions were different for each image. It seemed straight forward at first (sort of) but I couldn't find a way of doing this without a script or some third party program - so I came up with the following action. Hope someone gets some use out of it.
Note: Change action as needed to suit your needs.
Resize and Center Crop (Auto)
Fit Image
     height: 900px
     width: 900px
     With Don't Enlarge
Canvas Size
     height: 460px
     vertical: center
     extension color: white
Image Size
     width: 900px
     resolution: 72 per inch
     with scale styles
     with constrain proportions
Save (optional)
     As: JPEG
     Quality: 12
     Scans: 5 (for web images)
This assumes that the images are at least horizontal, but if you have photoshop CC you can create a conditional action that will work with vertical and horizontal images. If you are square cropping, this action makes it a breeze. I also have an action that uses the same basic logic, but lets me manually move the crop box. The only real issue I have encountered is when the original image ratio is very narrow, which leads to some white space on the top and bottom (I'm working on updating the action to address this). But it has worked on about 95% of my images. Again, you will probably need to adjust all of the variables depending on what you are trying to do, but it should be possible with the same steps. And of course this can also be used to batch process.
Feel free to let me know if anyone comes up with improvements! Thanks

Hmm thanks Mylenium, I got that response a lot when I was searching before. But if you re-read above, I am explaining a method of doing it without a script. So it wasn't really a question, just a tip in case anyone else wanted to do the same.

Can't get cropped images into printable sizes I.e 6x4, 7x5 etc

I am fairly new to elements and I am having problems with resizing my images. I have cropped some images and want to upload them to say 'photobox' but I can't seem to get the images into the correct size for printing I.e 6x4, 7x5 etc. I have also noticed that I start with an image that is say 7mb in size yet when it has been edited and uploaded it is 700k and rated as a medium quality image ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

If you have cropped the image precisely to 6x4, then in the print dialog you need to select the paper size (6x4). If your printer has the capabilitry to print borderless, you can try that as well.

Why are my cropped images not printing at the size I have cropped them to?!

Hey!
I know how to crop images to specific sizes using either the rectangular marquee or crop tool. However, I am needing to print a number of small images, so want to compile them into one document to save paper. Once the image is cropped, it shows up in 'image size' as being the required size, however, when I copy and paste it into another document in an attempt to arrange it on a page with other cropped images, the images come out at about half the specified size when I print them.
Is it to do with the view I am using, because it doesn't seem to matter whether I set it to 'print size' or 'actual pixels'?
I can't seem to find an answer to this, and I'm sure that I didn't have a problem with this when I was using photoshop more regularly a few years ago!

Hello,
You need to ake sure the target document and the source documents have the same"resolution", in other words the same PPI.
You could also use the Edit>Place command, which will respect the print dimensions of the source photo, but import it as a Smart Object.

How to Change log in background image without third party apps on Mountain lion

Hi I am trying to change the log in screen without using a third party app on OSX 10.8. every time I use Loginox the background image changes but if i create an image of that volume and reimage another mac with a different screen size the background becomes in tile mode. Does anyone know how to replace the log in background without the third party app?Thank you for the help.

Without third party application, you can not change the login screen linen background.
Best.

Changing size of image in ACR mode

Have just bought Elements 12. When editing image in raw mode I cannot change size of image using ALT in combination with the mouse scroll button like I could in Elements 8. Clicking plus and minus signs is clumsy and slower

I believe that was removed in acr starting with the late 6.x or 7.x series and not sure why.
One way to zoom quicker with the zoom in (plus) is to drag a box on the image, although that doesn't work for zooming out (minus).
You can also right click on the image to get a menu with different zoom values (viewing percents).

How do I get a cropped image to snap to a larger size?

I'm in PSE 10 and when I crop a small portion of an image and accept the crop, it remains a small image instead of snapping to a larger image like it did in PSE 6. I know there must be some way to have the small image automatically made larger rather than having to click on the magnifier and "+" and then on the image until it is a size I can work on. I've checked the FAQs and Photoshop Elements 10 but can't find the answer.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tripped over the resolution to my problem. In
PSE 6, I right click on an image and the two options are Quick Fix or Full
Edit. With one click I am in the Editor Quick Fix mode and when I crop an
image to the size of a postage stamp and select the green checkmark, the
program snaps the small image to one that fits the editing window. In PSE
10, when I right click on an image the two options are edit with Elements
or Premiere Elements. When I select Elements it takes me directly into the
Full Edit mode, which does not snap small images to full Editor window. So
now I have another keystroke to make before getting into Quick Fix mode.
Three steps instead of two. Boo!

How to block changes of desktop background image

I manage a 30-computer Mac lab in a public high school and I would like to prevent users from changing the desktop background image.
As far as I know, there are two ways to change the desktop background image: through System Preferences and by right-clicking an image and selecting Set Desktop Picture.
Blocking System Preferences is easily done through Parental Controls.
But how do I prevent the right-click, Set Desktop Picture method of changing the desktop image?
You can imagine the kinds of images that end up as desktop backgrounds in a high school computer lab.

You might try going to System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts. In the left pane select Services, then uncheck the item "Set Desktop Picture" under Pictures in the right pane. Once that's done, block that prefs pane.

Photoshop CC crop image size & resolution dialog box

In previous versions of Photoshop the "R" button displays the Crop Image Size & Resolution dialog box. Is this feature completely gone is CC? I can't find anything the even references this dialog box. Anyone out there have this issue?

In photoshop cc 2014, the size and resolution boxes will actually show on the tool options bar instead of a separate dialog window, by choosing W x H x Resolution from the drop-down menu.

RCA as that is analog and optical and hdmi are digital
you can get converters but some would be pricy and could cause delay between image and pictures for video

Is there any error message when you couldn't change lock background or this option just grey out?

Ease of rotating and cropping images in CS6

There is much I like about the new crop: Rotating the image instead of the box is SO much easier and the straighten option is a great time saver.
But in one instance, I'm finding cropping in CS6 to be harder: Cropping images that are not correctly oriented in the first place. Rotating an image 90-degrees was a snap in CS2: Alt-I/E/0. The shortcut keys are gone in CS6, so using the rotation command is no longer quick.
But I can do it in the crop box, right? True -- but not easily. The image is landscape, the crop box is portrait. With the crop tool selected, holding the shift key down to get fixed-increment rotations doesn't work: Pressing the SHIFT key changes the cursor from rotation to the crop cursor. To get the rotation, I have to start rotating the image and then press SHIFT to get 15-degree increments. A few moments later, I have rotated the image into portrait orientation -- and the crop box is now centered on the image, but it is set to crop the middle. I have to drag the handles out to get approximately what I want: The full image in the crop box. (What I want is what I would get if I rotate the image with the Rotate command, then control-zero to fill the screen, and then select the crop tool.)
We rotate a lot of images. It's easy to do in CS2 and the two approaches I've found for CS6 are both awkward. The new crop tool has replaced the dual arrows in older versions (to swap the horizontal and vertical sizes) with a rotation arrow. I think you should restore the arrows (and their function) -- then use the rotate button to rotate the image, not the crop box. (Isn't that the design center for the new crop box? We're moving the image, not the crop box.)

Howard, thanks for the tip about the X key; didn't realize it worked that way when the crop tool is active. But in this case I had set the crop box dimenions, so the crop box starts out with the correct orientation. Having played with this for a day, I conclude that the best approach for this task is to restore the old keyboard conventions for image rotation and rotate the image before launching the crop tool.
I stand by my observation that the rotate key should affect the image, not the crop box because that is consistent with the new cropping paradigm: We rotate the image, not the crop box. I realize making a change this late in the development cycle is awkward -- but if CS6 ships with this behavior, it will become even harder to change later -- and the user interface should be as consistent as possible.
Noel, you are correct: The images are coming from scanned film. All frames get scanned with the same orientation. I want to avoid the "Patient: Doctor, it hurts when I do this. Doctor: Then don't do that!" scenario. Granted: If images are "correctly" oriented, this issue doesn't arise. But not all images are oriented correctly and CS6 should be at least as graceful in handling the task as previous versions.

Batch processing images of various sizes

I'm trying to create 125 pixel square thumbnail images using a batch process and I'm having trouble getting it to work consistently with images that have different aspect ratios. I think I know why it's working the way it is, but I don't know how to work around the function. Here is what I'm doing that doesn't work when the image proportions change:
1. Resize image to 125 pixels high using the "constrain proportions" option.
2. Resize canvas to 125 pixels wide, thus cropping the sides to create the square image.
Then I have another process that does the same thing with images in portrait orientation. The problem is, I have some images that are 640x480, for example, and some that are 640x360. If I create the command using a 640x480 image, the 640x360 images are skewed when run through the batch because the "resize image" step is actually setting the dimensions of the image, rather than maintaining the proportions of that particular image. I thought about setting the canvas to a square first, but since not all my images are the same dimensions, I'm not sure how to account for that.
Anyone have any thoughts? I also have Photoshop, but as a novice, I've found Fireworks to be a little more intuitive for some of these basic commands, particularly batch processes.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks so much!
Jeremy

It seems tricker than one might expect to create square thumbnails!
I'm a little confused by the results you're describing. When I try using Modify > Canvas > Canvas Size to crop a document, the result appears in the History panel as "Crop Document". If I select that step and choose "Copy Steps to Clipboard", then paste the results in a text file, I get something like this:
fw.getDocumentDOM().setDocumentCanvasSize({left:16, top:0, right:141, bottom:125}, true);
This reveals that the canvas is being cropped according to a specific bounding rectangle that may or may not be a great fit for all the other images being processed (depending on their widths). For a more foolproof result, a rectangle like {left:0, top:0, right:125, bottom:125} would be a better choice; however, aesthetically, I'd personally prefer that images be cropped from the center, not the left side.
If I had something better to suggest here, I would. It might be worth checking out Photoshop to see if this type of operation is any easier.
