Crop Tool Changes its orientation

I have a crop tool preset I made in landscape orientation to size photos all the same for a data-merged book I do every year. With CS6 I noticed a new and annoying behavior; if I move the crop tool too far to the left, it automatically changes the crop area to portrait. If this is supposed to be a feature, it's a most unwelome one. If my crop preset is landscape, then that's what I want. I'd like to know if there is a way to disable this "feature".

Have you tried changing the Crop tool setting to use classic mode. I don't know if that will do the trick. CS6 Crop tool has been reworked. Many do not like the rework?

I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 for years. All of a sudden, the cropping tool changed: I cannot crop vertically or horizontally anymore--only diagonally. This has made it impossible for me to get the photo I want. I hope someone knows how to fix th

I have been using Elements 8 ever since it came out, and all of a sudden the cropping tool has changed: I can no longer crop horizontally or vertically, only diagonally. The up/down/side arrows have disappeared! Please help if you can, I'm no longer able to make my photos look their best. Thank you in advance.

Quit the editor (Quit PSE on a mac). Then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

Crop tool change

How do I change back to the original crop tool instead of what looks like three scribbles? These scribbles showed up about 3 weeks ago and I can find no reason for the change nor where to return to the default tool.

The screen stopped changing its orientation

My iPod touc was working fine - but recently I can only use vertical orientation. Help me fix this!

Is the screen-rotation lock on? If it is there sill be an icon of a circular arrow wih a padlock insid by the battery indicator in the upper right. If it is on turn it off. Otherwise try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- reset
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

LR: Slow Crop Tool (Retina MBP)

-Using Lightroom, 2014 Macbook Pro Retina, runs almost instantly for all LR operations
-However, slow when applying a crop, ~20 seconds (e.g. in Develop module, crop tool, change aspect ratio, move crop area and click 'close')
-When applying a crop on different resolutions, crops in < 3 secs; great (e.g. 'Best for display' or custom res e.g. 1440x900)
-Even when using custom resolutions, retina or non-retina, (using autoscript or an app) such as 2560x1600, crop is applied in < 3 secs
-Only when using 'More Space' (1680x1050) retina option does applying crops slow down
For others with this 'slow Lightroom cropping' issue, try running your mac at different resolutions [system preferences>displays]
Any ideas why we are experiencing this odd behaviour?

Lightroom 6 / Lightroom CC update seems to have completely fixed this issue! Performance is fantastic

I cannot find information to help me change the orientation of a video filmed in portrait format but only able to be played back lying on its side (landscape) instead of upright. All the rotation buttons for iPhoto are not 'engaged' when it is in video .

Thanks OT,
I tried the Export function but it would not allow me to choose the option of exporting to iMovie. I think you are right about needing Quicktime Pro. I opened iMovie and imported the clip from iPhoto and with some searching found the 'cropping, rotation' mechanism. So I now have a copy in the correct orientation. I plan to import/export it back to iPhoto because I want to have a copy on my iPhone to show people and I wanted to have it available as part of a slideshow I am making in iPhoto of my recent overseas trip. It is a pain that there is no simple orientating tool for the movie clips downloaded to iPhoto with the photos from the one camera.

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!

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.

You can Reset the Crop Tool by right clicking its' icon in the options bar and choosing Reset Tool from the menu.

Cannot change tools and cannot use selection or crop tools

I am using Photoshop Extended CS6. A new problem has started to occur recently. I can select a tool, but I can't change the tool type. For example, I can select the Lasso Tool and when I right-click the tool fly-out appears, but I cannot select a tool from the fly-out to change the tool type. The editing tools, at least the ones I can select, still work except for the selection and crop tools. For the crop tool, the crop lines appear at the edge of the image but they cannot be moved. For the selection tools, nothing is selected. I can still use menu commands such as Canvas Size.
This happens when I open a file or start a new file. I have Windows 7, 4G memory and nothing else running. I have tried 32-bt and 64-bit versions.
This has happened intermittently for a month or two. In the past, freeing up space on a hard drive seemed to help. But now I have 50G free on one drive and 30G free on another so I don't see how that could be the problem. Rebooting allows me to use the crop tool once, but then the problem reoccurs.
Ideas, anyone?

No keyboard macro programs installed. Microsoft Security Essentials is installed. It says it is up to date and there are no problems. A keyboard test program found no problems. I have tried two USB keyboards with the same results I have 10% free on my system drive: and 15% free on my second drive.
More clues:
If I open Photoshop by opening a file, the problem immediately occurs. If I open Photoshop and then open a file, it works until I press a key as described above.
The problem only occurs in Photoshop. I’ve tried lots of other programs, including Premiere, Audition and Illustrator; they all work correctly.
The problem can occur without a keyboard attached. As I described above, if I switch to another application (Windows Explorer in my test) and then switch back, the problem occurs. This is true even if there is no internal keyboard and no USB keyboard.

Crop tool stuck!! Won't accept changes

I'm processing a batch of proofs and midway through my crop tool no longer accepts the changes by clicking on the crop marker button. Doing so only brings the image up in full resolution, clicking again puts it back in crop mode. I can't get this behavior to go away by changing catalog/images/mode, exiting the app or even rebooting.
This is major show stopper. I needed these proofs out last night.

Any chances the image is now an offline one with a ? mark?
Can't edit offline imaages.
I'm think this is not your case, though, or you would hav mentioned something on that.

Change Slideshow Thumbnail Photo States Via Crop Tool?

In a slideshow widget, I've noticed the only way I can change one of the thumbnail image's "states" to a different image (like a sepia version of the same image) is to double click on the thumbnail "image frame" and then slide the current image out of frame (using the crop tool also allows the same thing) and then I am left with a blank "image frame." Into that blank image frame, I can then FILL it with another image (the sepia version) and apply all different "states" (rollover, etc) to that image frame WHILE maintaining the original full size image that the thumbnail (target) is originally linked too.
So basically I then have a hidden cropped thumbnail image frame and my true (sepia version) image frame. Everything seems to preview properly, but what if any effect does all this "hidden" code info have? Anything. If I have 200 or so thumbnail images attached to a slideshow and each would have one of these "hidden" cropped boxes.
Thoughts anyone?

I have not a link yet, i'm preparing the graphic layout at the time. I bypassed the problem importing in muse the right photos size without use crop. Maybe i should see better edit photo functions tutorials. I'm new with Muse.

Does anyone know why the delete and hide options are still missing in the crop tool option bar, despite having changed the background layer to a regular layer? Thanks!

"flying blind."
"You totally lost me there, and I have no clue as to what your last question means."
"I think I now know what you mean."
Evidently language is of difficulty for you.
Perhaps the Oxford dictionary can provide you with your much needed “sensible, meaningful” content.
According to the Oxford dictionary, a dialogue is to "Take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem." It also states that a dialogue is "A discussion between two or more people or groups, especially one directed toward exploration of a particular subject or resolution of a problem.”
That IS the inherent nature of posts. A conversation is reciprocation. Questions, followed by more questions.
It is not difficult to understand.
"how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers" is best actualized by simply asking.
Is it a Mac; is it not, etc.
That IS sufficient. That IS "quicker and better answers[ing]." That IS what a dialogue IS. And that IS actually what is "sensible," "meaningful," and "detailed."
The Oxford dictionary can best delineate and elucidate your lack of comprehension in what ACTUALLY “meaning” is.
As well as what is "sensible" AND "detailed."
By the way, am I being repetitive.
Still confused. Let the experts that do not require much explanation respond with "quicker and better answers" for both "sensible, complete" responses." They are not "lost," "blind," or provide "incomplete" drivel.

How do I change the look of the cropping tool

How do I change the look of the cropping tool

What do you mean, "change the look"? Please be specific.
What do you want the crop tool to "look" like?
Yes, the crop tool is different than it used to be. But it works just as well as it always did. Instead of moving the crop over the timage, now move the image. Use the edge handles to adjust the crop size. Alternatively, set the crop tool to work in various ways by adjusting it in the control bar. (Size and Proportions, Rotate Crop, Straighten Image, Crop Options, etc.)
Alternatively, you can set the Crop Tool to have "classic" behavior, also via the control bar.

Can the crop tool resize resolution be changed?

When using the crop tool, and resizing it via the mouse, the dimensions tend to jump by 6-15 pixels depending on the phase of the moon (or more likely which dimension I am changing).
It would be nice if I could get LR into a 1-pixel movement mode or otherwise be able to set an exact pixel size for the cropping. Putting my mouse into high-resolution mode does not help. The crop tool always runs in a "fit" zoom mode so cropping at 1:1 zoom is not an option.
The "custom aspect ratio" dialog does not get me there because it does not do pixel dimensions.
I am aware that after doing the crop, I could use the export tool to get the exact pixel dimensions, but that is not what I am looking for.

When you email a picture from Photos, you can choose the size.

Pen Tool -- adjust an existing handle length without changing its angle?

Is it possible to adjust an existing handle's length without changing its angle? The reason I want to do this is because the companion handle (for a smooth point) in my path-in-progress happens to be exactly where I want it, and I want to constrict my adjustment of the handle on the path's open-ended side to the length only. Possible? Seems like a sure candidate for a modifier key.. but alt is for making corners and shift constricts to only specific angles. I want to do this on the fly.
If no, I suppose I'll go make a feature request

If you do this and other handle manipulations frequently, a 3rd-party plug-in might be worth buying. The PathScribe tool (part of the VectorScribe plug-in) can do this plus a lot more.
