Crop tool in photoshop cs4

My crop tool only goes so far, then it stops and won't enlarge any more in either direction. Other tools seem to work fine. I would appreciate any ideas. Thanks

Check and see if you have any values entered in the width and height boxes
and use the clear button to get rid of them.

The Newly Redesigned Crop Tool in Photoshop CS6 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

There are several advantages to the newly redesigned Crop tool in Photoshop CS6. In this video tutorial, Julieanne demonstrates the refined interface, new features, customizable presets, enhanced tools and essential shortcuts that will make cropping easier than ever.

In CS6 if you simply switch to the crop tool after making the selection the crop area is automatically set to the selected area and if you don't want to change anything click on the ok check mark and you are done. Is that what you want to do?

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase co

Eraser tool in Photoshop CS4 acts as if it is transparent when on brush or pencil mode. Block acts like its not transparent at all but there are no options for opacity, flow or brush size. Whats wrong and how to I make the brush and pencil eraser erase completely without having to go over it multiple times?
It started randomly about two weeks ago and I thought it was a glitch that would just go away. But now I am getting sick of using only the block eraser on one size. Help?

The easiest thing to start with is to reset the Eraser Tool.
Right click on the Eraser icon in the tool options bar and then click on Reset Tool.

Is there a 3D rotate tool in Photoshop CS4 (non-extended)?

I have just installed Photoshop CS4 of my new iMac. Although I had been led to believe that even the non-extended version came with the 3D rotation tool, in fact, I can find no evidence of it! Was I misled? If so, I am sad. Please advise how I might find it, or even add it?

Yes, you are probably right about how I was led to believe the 3D tool was on the "basic" CS4 Photoshop. Thanks very much.

Subject: Is there a 3D rotate tool in Photoshop CS4 (non-extended)?
Hi Meredith,
Illy aka Adobe Illustrator aka AI.
Photoshop CS4 (non Extended) has a Rotate view tool that works with support video cards to rotate the document canvas. Could that be what was mistakenly called out as 3D rotate tool. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshop/features/?view=topnew) Depending on the configuration/age of your iMac model you may not se this.
All the 3D features in Photoshop are for Extended only. (http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/photoshopextended/?promoid=DRHXB)

The crop tool causes Photoshop CC to hang up. I have to use CS6.

I cannot use the crop tool in Photoshop CC.

I just cropped my profile photo and the crop tool is now working normally.

Cropping Layers with Crop Tool in Photoshop CC 2014?

I have been trying to find out if the crop tool can be used in Photoshop CC 2014 to crop layers individually rather than the entire file, and I am not finding any answers through any searches. I can't even find a standard Abode How-to for cropping in the CC version. Is the Marquee tool still the only (best) way to crop an individual layer?
Also, I have been looking at a crop tool tutorial for the CC version that seems a bit opaque to me in the way it's written (Adobe Photoshop CC for Photographers), and it refers to a Crop options fly-out menu, but I can't find any way to access this.

The Crop tool is not designed for the job you would like done. As you have seen, it crops the entire image.
Instead, use the Rectangular Marquee tool to frame the area you would like to maintain. (Sample 1)
Then choose Select > Inverse. It will select the area to be removed.
Then tap the Delete key. Result is Sample 2)

Move tool crashes Photoshop CS4

Hey =]
I have quite a large problem with PS CS4,
Whenever I use the move tool, I get the message "Photoshop CS4 has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I'm running Vista 32-Bit.
It worked fine until about a week ago when I de-fragged my HDD, I've tried Uninstalling and then Re-Installing, no luck.
So I tried to delete my preferences, again nothing, so then I tried resetting the tool preferences, once again, no luck =/
I also tried Installing my old copy of CS3 and the same problem occurred.
I have the latest version of CS4, my drivers are up to date and so is my version of Windows.
Any Ideas? They'll be much appreciated.
Thanks =]

Look in the Vista event log and post the crash information please.
Update PS CS4 to 11.0.1?
Did you try to delete the prefs the MANUAL way? Here is how to do it in case you didn't.

What is wrong with the crop tool in Photoshop CS6? (picture included)

Ever since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6 and started to use the new crop tool, I get this quite interesting visual error and some artifacting.
I didn't have the problem with the crop tool in the previous versions of Photoshop.
What can be the issue?

Seems like a GPU problem. Can you try going into Photoshop Preferences, disable GPU acceleration and try if that fixes it?

Missing tools in photoshop CS4

Hi there,
I've just taken the plunge and bought Photoshop CS4. I installed it but when I first went to use it it appears that the tool palette is incomplete. The magic eraser isn't there. The plain old eraser is, but there is nothing behind it. The same thing occurs for the other layered tools in the palette. Has this happened to anyone else? Is it easily fixable? Or did I get a lemon???
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Thank you, thank you, thank you... That worked. I thought I was going
crazy there for a while.

Adobe, your new and "improved" Crop tool is trash! It is unintuitive, slow and hinders production speed. Your Classical mode is NOT classical mode! What were you thinking? That by slowing down one of the most core functionalities of Photoshop you're somehow improving it? Your new Crop tool sucks! AT LEAST make the Classic tool REAL classic tool! Ideally, roll back the old Crop, it worked PERFECTLY and needed no improvement!

Using the new Crop tool | Learn Photoshop CS6 | Adobe TV

Cropping is one of the most common operations in Photoshop. So it's only fitting that the Crop tool has experienced a quantum leap in CS6. In this movie, watch how to preview the angle of your image to confirm that your crop is plumb. You can revisit a crop any time you like, so you never waste effort. And by default, the Crop tool hides pixels instead of permanently deleting them.

I just installed the new PhotoShop CS6 on my iMac - I am used to it on Windows PC. Now, when I crop, it does not resize the image to my 640x320 px (it keeps the original size)

Try to back out of Photoshop and restart your computer.

Tips! How to bypass new crop tool CS6, photoshop

Do you dislike the new crop function in Photoshop CS6?
I found out a way to handle and bypass the function so it works like in earlier versions.
1. First step is to change to classic mode (this is done in settings above the image a little "gear")
2. The second step is to change ratio to unconstrained.
The third step is the tip!
I was very frustrated that I could not start outside the picture to begin my cropping.
You know when you want to crop a landscape image of a portrait image and want to go from side to side.
The problem was that I started to rotate a crop frame that was there by default... REALLY CRAPPY FEATURE!
3. So here is the tip
Place your cursor is outside the picture
Before you begin dragging, hold down shift.
Begin the dragging, then let go of shift, and "tada" the crop frame behaves as it should.
I hope you found this info useful
Best Regards // Daniel

I don't see why your method is better than just using the new perspective crop tool (it allows you to start outside the image, use a specific size, and rotate the crop (by dragging from near/outside of a corner).
In a lot of cases want to go from left to right edge of the image.
From Original ratio:
To do it the "new" way means two step
Move down the upper edge, move up the lower edge.
From unconstraind:
To do it the "new" way means two step
Almost drag the area I want, move the edges out to left and right.
With my method I can easily drag the area I want in one movement.
at least a couple of problems with that: You still can't distort the crop lines (grab a corner and move it independent of the other corners) to fix perspective and such; and you aren't cropping to a particular size (which means you have to do it as a separate step after cropping).
I am sorry I could not find a way to do that easy...
And I agree to the common opinion, why limit something that works well, without having the option via settings to get it back.

Why when using the crop tool in Photoshop CS6 does it suddenly change the layer and file format?

I really need help with this. If I open a jpg in PS6 and crop it, the file transforms from a locked background layer to Layer 0 which is not locked. Then if I want to Save as a jpg I must flatten the layers as it is now a PSD file. SO frustrated! Anyone know what's going on?

Enable the Delete Cropped Pixels in the crop tool options up top—this is the phrasing in my PS-CC. I assume PS-CS6 has a similar crop tool option.
If you don’t delete the cropped pixels, they are just hidden, then a layer needs to be created to hold the hidden pixels.
