Crop tool by default cuts image by 30%

Aperture crop tool 'c' cuts photo image, in portrait view, by 30%. Does anyone have a solution for this problem?

Aperture version?

  • Stay on crop tool when moving from image to image?

    Is there a way for the crop tool to remain selected when I progress from one image to the next? For example, today I have about 100 images in a row that I want to crop (not all in the same way, mind you), and every time I move from one image to the next I default back to the selection tool. It's a bit of a PITA to have to re-select the crop tool every time before drawing my crop box. Is there a way around this? TIA.

    Don't you have to hit the return key to get the crop to "take" before switching images?
    In that case, you can hit the 'c' key to re-activate the crop key before selecting the region for the next photo.

  • Cropping tool now deletes whole image in Photoshop CS4

    Recently the cropping tool has taken to deleting the whole image, no matter what is cropped.  I've been attempting to trim the edges, something that was working just fine a few months ago (now operating under Snow Leopard, so wouldn't be awfully surprised if it was an SL glitch). But...suddenly, for no obvious reason, when I select part or most of an image and then hit return to crop, the entire image disappears and I'm left with nothing.
    I've scanned through the preferences but can't find anything related that might be set or checked where it shouldn't be.  Wondering if this is where we throw out the plist and try again; and also if this is a phenomenon others have encountered.
    thanks,

    Wade,
    Sorry I didn't answer your previous post. No, resetting the crop tool, for whatever reason, didn't wipe that 1pixel measurement in Width (and frankly I still don't know when or how it arrived in the first place, but clearly must have been me at some point).  I've used Photoshop for more than a decade and it's the first time I've bunged that up quite so cleverly.  Now you mention it, though, it's odd a reset didn't wipe out that measurement.  Now at least I'll be watching to see if and how it returns.

  • Forcing crop tool to not move image

    In previous version of Photoshop, when you used the crop tool, it did not move your image around on-screen, so why is it doing it now? Is there a way to force the crop tool to act like the previous versions? It is very confusing to try to crop something now with everything moving around on screen.

    Thank you very much, "C". I thought we had to live with this odd behaviour.
    Not everybody might know what cog means. Here are some synonyms:

  • Image Breakup when using crop tool

    At recent events, operating aperture on a 17" MacBookPro with an extra 23" Apple display, I have image break up after using the crop tool. The image breaks up into quarters, with variable green colours, the image itself disappearing altogether. This occurs after using the crop tool when reselecting the image for further viewing, also on raw and jpeg files, camera a Canon 5d. Anyone else had it, or know a fix without reinstalling?

    chris -
    could this be included in the option bar to change the resampling per instance instead of a prefs setting?  I set up some actions to change the prefs for up and down scaling and then revert to the default pref setting. But it was never convenient so I don't use the actions.
    or maybe just and pref to use "smart scaling" that chooses the interpolation method based upon whether it is up or down scaling.

  • LR 5.x crop tool bug: selection jumping on activation

    Hi,
    I did not see this reported, but I'd be rather surprised if nobody had noticed the issue before.
    I'm seeing this behavior since I upgraded from LR 4 to LR 5. I think I did the upgrade with 5.3, but at 5.6 I still have the following problem:
    After setting a cropping rectangle (usually with rotation), then change some settings (e.g. exposure, shadows, blacks, etc.) and then activate the cropping tool again, the displayed image jumps to the original frame size for half a second and then back to the previously set crop.
    Since I usually go back to cropping only for small changes in rotation, this is especially annoying, because it irritates the eye in a way that I'm sometimes not even sure if I'm seeing my previous setting again. And then I have forgotten how I actually wanted to adjust the setting
    This seems to me like a bug introduced in LR5. I'm using Lightroom since version 2 and never had this behavior until the upgrade to LR5.
    I'm using Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, nvidia Graphics.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1) Open an image in the development module (I'm using Canon CR2 raws)
    2) Set a cropping window
    3) change some image settings, e.g. exposure
    4) activate the cropping tool
    Please fix this behavior.
    Thanks,
    Karsten

    Thanks for the clarification. Too bad that the fix did not make it into LR 5.6.
    I'm new here, so please apologize my beginners question: Is there a place where I can find bug reports that were accepted as known bugs? I tried the community search on cropping tool and did not find any related bugs.
    Thanks,
    Karsten

  • Crop tool Classice Mode

    I find the new crop tool too time consuming, and it is not very user friendly.  I like that you can turn on the classice mode, but each time I select the crop tool the classic mode has been turned off.  Would you please make it possible to turn on classic mode and leave it on.
    In my opinion the crop tool worked great, just because you can change something does not always mean that it is an improvement.  I perfer to move the crop tool around on the image, not the image behind the crop tool.
    Thank you for giving us the classic mode, please never take that away.

    I hear you.  The setting should be sticking for you, so that's a problem - though it may be a problem on your own system.  I see all the settings stay set.  Try this: 
    With no document open, choose the Crop tool.
    Click the gear and make the settings you want.
    Choose Window - Workspace - New Workspace, and name it something you like (I call mine Noels).
    Now Quit Photoshop
    Do you see your settings stick now, next time you open Photoshop?
    By the way, try the new Crop Tool (without Classic Mode) but with one setting change:  Turn off the [  ] Auto Center Preview setting.  The always present outer border takes a little getting used to, but the thing will operate in a very expected manner otherwise.

  • Crop Tool Confusion When Used to Change the Dimensions (but not the resolution) of an Image

    Picture this.  You have a real photograph in front of you.  Its dimensions are 7x5 inches, and you want to cut out of that photograph, a 4x4” square.  You’re not bothered by the rest of the photograph, you’ll discard that, so you mark your 4” square on the photo at the place you want to keep, and with a pair of scissors, cut (crop) the photo accordingly.
    Using the analogy above, I’m having difficulty achieving what should be an extremely simple operation in Photoshop CC 2014.  I have an image which is 5000px wide x 3800px high at a resolution of 240px/inch.
    Using the “W x H x Resolution” option of the crop tool, I want to crop the image to 2100px x 2100px, maintaining the original image resolution of 240px/inch.  No matter what settings I use in the crop tool toolbar, the crop tool insists on sizing the crop by assuming the full length of the shortest axis on my image.  In this instance the vertical distance.  If I initiate the crop, I do end up with a 2100px square image at 240px/inch, but the shortest original dimension (and hence pro-rate the image) has been rescaled and resized.
    What I was expecting to see is the crop tool outline simply showing a square which represents 2100px a side at 240px/inch relative to the image I’m viewing.  I would then drag the outline to the position where I wanted it, and then crop the image.  This isn’t happening.  I can manually resize the crop area with my mouse, and rely on the floating information pop-up to check the actual crop dimensions, but this seems counter-intuitive (not to mention difficult when attempting a pixel accurate crop).
    Strangely enough, if I change the size of the crop window by using the mouse, and right click inside the crop area, the context menu has the option “Use Crop Box Size & Resolution”. Selecting this option updates the toolbar with the chosen crop size and everything is as expected.  Surely, this is what the crop toolbar should do in the first place?
    Am I missing something here? I may not perform this particular operation very often in Photoshop, but I’m sure it worked the way I thought is should before!
    Regards,
    Steve

    You'd better use the Marquee tool for this. Set the desired number of pixels in the options bar. Click and drag and finally Image > Crop.

  • How do i crop "out" a piece of image=ex: how it will look when its cut for a window. Crop a white space in image?

    How do i crop "out" a piece of image=ex: how it will look when its cut for a window. Crop a white space in image?

    I think this will help if you are using version 11 or 12.
    Make a selection with a selection tool of the area you want to remove.
    Example: rectangular marquee tool - make a rectangle.
    Use Select>Refine Edge:
    Use the View section of this dialog box to see a few views.
    If you need to refine the edge of the selection (smooth, feather, shift, etc.) you can do that in this dialog box.
    You may want to check the box about remembering your settings in case you need to come back to them.
    In the Output section, you can pick New Layer with Layer Mask and click OK.
    You should see the hole in your image.

  • Photoshop (cc) crop tool overly sharpens image after crop??

    I have just noticed something really interesting and quite annoying about the photoshop cc crop tool.
    It seems to slightly over sharpen an image after cropping. Does anyone know if there is a way to disable this?
    I did the same crop with the same image in CS4 and looks fine. It's pretty nasty and makes images look very digital.
    Has anyone else noticed this?
    Thanks, Dan

    This might have to do with a change that was made to the default resizing technique in Photoshop between CS4 and now.
    Try this: Open the Preferences dialog box, and in the General panel, change Image Interpolation to "Bicubic (best for smooth gradients)". Then run the same preset.
    If that change makes a Crop tool resize work like it did in CS4, then the reason you saw a change is because in more recent versions of Photoshop the default technique for resampling was changed to "Bicubic Automatic" which tries to pick the right algorithm based on whether you're resampling up or down. It applies to resizing in general (for example, transformations), and you're seeing it because a crop resulted in resampling.
    You can test various settings there to see which one is best for your work.

  • How is image resampled when using Crop Tool Presets?

    If I use the Crop Tool preset of 4 X 6 inches on a 8 X 10 inch image of the same resolution, what type of interpolation does PS use to reduce the image size? I am reducing the size of a finished multilayered file to insert it into a greeting card template.
    I know that when using the Image Size dialogue, you can choose whatever type of image interpolation you want, like bicubic sharper for reducing the size of an image. Can you do the same with the Crop Tool? Thanks.

  • Using selection tool to Cut image into pieces...

    Hi all,
    I was just experimenting with my Painter image editing software in my computer, and I just thought about an effect that I performed in my Painter software.
    Actually, what I did is best show in images attached here. Please use them as a guide to my questions.
    In Painter, I used the selection tool to seperate parts of my image as seen in my attached image. I just wonder whether one can do the same thing in after effects too.
    Thanks and hope to here your responses to my question.

    Ok. Thanks for your great tips as I'll see where I can go from here.

    Like Steve said, you'll have to use masks. To keep it clean and predictable, draw all your masks as needed, then duplicate the layer (Ctrl+D). then delete the masks on a given layer that you don't need. What is to become the background with "holes" also will need the mask modes to be set from the default Add to Subtract. Once you have everything, you may wish to use the pan behind tool (Y) to move the layer anchor points into the centers of the masked shapes, so animation becomes a bit more predictable.

  • Lightroom 3 Beta-Image Rotate and Crop Tool

    Good Morning Adobe,
    First of all let me say Lightroom 3 is fantastic! I do have a couple of suggestions that might make the image editing more efficient. I find that I use the image rotate and crop tools frequently and think that possibly locating these 2 features below the image in the tool bar with the loupe view/zoom fit/before and after will allow the user to edit the images more efficiantly.
    I believe that this is an incredible program and can't wait to see the finished product!
    I will offer more suggestions as they evolve.
    Thank you Adobe! You are the BEST!
    D.A.    

    Thank you...I discovered this answer online from another post last night and tried it.  (Since I didn't re-size the thumbnails, I wasn't aware that you could do this.)  After re-starting Lightroom and my computer, the crop issue corrected itself.  Thank you very much for your response.  It worked!

  • How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    Hi Peru Bob,
    I've tried two images, the results were:
    Image 1
    Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
    After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
    Image 2
    Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
    After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
    So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

  • Image rotates when using the crop tool

    New to Aperture  my question is when I use the crop tool the image appears to rotate in one direction or the other.  Then of course in limited to the size i can drag out the crop window by the edges of the photo itself.  Any ideas

    If you use the straighten tool first and then select the crop tool, Aperture will show the entire image including the parts that were cropped off during the straighten operation. Other than that, can't think of what you are seeing.
