Crop tool out of control

It takes me ten times as long as usual to make crops. When I crop and image and let go of the tool the crop window starts drifting around and behaving like a rubber band, changing to whatever size it wants.
I have to try 10 different sizes until iPhoto does not move it anymore, so it takes 10 times as long.
Sometimes a pull down menu I don't want appears too.
What am I doing wrong?

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Crop tool missing perspective control

    The new crop tool handling will take a bit of getting used to but one can always put it into "classic mode" so it handles in a similar way to CS5.
    The one thing that is now missing though is the perspective button that i found was a very useful feature of the crop tool, i hope that this can be added back to CS6 as to me this is a step backwards.
    Have i missed something and this facility is still there but hiding somewhere?

    Hold down the crop tool in the tool bar - you'll find the perspective crop as a sub tool

  • How can I trap Out- of-Memory data with no crash after Crop Tool fails to finish?

    The Photoshop 6 beta program froze while using the crop tool on an image size of 8052x5368. I tried to save a file in another program while waiting for the crop to finish (usually about 1 second) and got an out-of-memory error. I checked the D: driv where the file in the other program was saved. I have a flash C: drive and is not selected in the scratch disk preference. Two scratch disks, E: and G:, are selected with a total of about 800GB free space. After closing PS6Beta, the D: drive recovered about 164GB. The D: drive is not selected in the Scratch Disk list. I work with larger files and anticipate this problem again.How can I trap information for Adobe next time?

    The problem remains for how the c: and d: drives were not selected in the scratch disk list. I tried again with only E: and G: drives and the file completed after 20 minutes with a 27.7G file. It would have been an ovious problem if the "info" diaglog box included the projected file size and/or dimensional units (px or in) because I use the dialog for verifying the size of the image. I wanted to make a 300 x400px image rather than a 300x400inch image( 90000x120000px).
    Thanks for your quick help.

  • 5.0 LE Crop tool grayed out in Windows XP???

    I've been using Photoshop 5.0 LE for many years on a Windows 98SE system. I recently installed it on my Windows XP system and it works great - except that the crop tool is grayed out - meaning I can't use it.  It doesn't matter if I open a new project or open an existing image.  It's still grayed out.  Is this a known issue?  Is there a patch to fix this?

    You may get an answer but that version is pretty ancient.
    You could try running the application in compatibility mode by right-clicking on the .exe file and under Properties > Compatibility pick an earlier OS.

  • My crop tool isn't visible in the effects controls of Premiere Pro.  Where could it be?

    I've just downloaded Premiere Pro CS6 and it's all up to date.  When I go to the effects controls to crop a graphic the "crop tool" is not showing as in it's simply not there.  To be clear, it's not there at all, no selection for a drop down.   Is there some where that I need to access to make it show up or what?  The motion, scale, opacity, etc are all showing as an option, but not the crop tool.

    I just did that write before I read this post.  I was going on here too delete this, but saw you answered it!  That's exactly what I did.  I've been watching tutorials and they show it as if it automatically shows up in Effect Controls...

  • Why is cropping tool grayed out?

    I use the latest Aperture 3.3.2. Got a picture ready to crop but cropping tool is grayed out? Anyone know why? The image is online and lets me print.
    Thanks
    Jerry

    The only way I can make the crop tool greyed out is by taking the original image flles offline or by not selecting any image at all:
    Are you sure, that you had the image selected and it is online, when you tried to crop? "Print" is not greyed out for offline originals, but it will not actually let you print
    But if your image is online, and you have selected it, and you still cannot crop, your User preferences may be corrupted; then try to quit Aperture, log off and on again (to ensure Aperture really quits), and move the User Preferences (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist) from the user library to the Desktop - see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.
    If this does not help, try the other trouble shooting measure from this document, unless you tried that already.

  • Perspective control with crop tool?

    This may have already been addressed somewhere in the archives but I've been away from this forum for quite some time, so forgive me if it's an old topic.
    Anyway, I've recently been on location photographing a variety of architectural exteriors and interiors and would love having a perspective correction - heck, why not go for the gold and ask for a 'Free Transform' option! - as part of the crop tool.  Granted, there is 'sorta' that in the lens correction tools, but not quite the same.

    There have been a few posts asking for a better UI to control the perspective correction.  Personally I favour the photoshop crop transform approach too.

  • CS4 Control of Selection tool and Cropping tool errors in Windows 7

    The cropping tool and some selection tools seem to work poorly in my Windows 7 machine. How about yours?

    They work fine here too. Possibly resetting the prefferences would cure the problem. I'd give it a try especially if the tools had worked then stopped.

  • Fine control of the crop tool

    I'm using Photoshop Elements 9 on Mac OS 10.7.2. Is there a way to fine tune the motion of the crop tool? When cropping a phot, the crop box seems to jump pixel-by-pixel. Is there a button I can hold down while cropping that will allow completely smooth movement?

    You should be able to hold down the Cmd key to keep the crop tool from snapping to the edges of the document.

  • CROP Tool reduces images to a tiny speck!

    In the past the CROP tool has worked as it should - crops out unwanted background.  But recently when I try to crop an image it reduces the image to a TINY speck!  You cannot even see the image anymore - just a tiny spot!
    WHAT in the world is going on?  I think I must have turned SOMETHING either ON or OFF - but I don't know what?
    Does anyone have a clue as to how to resolve this problem and get my CROP tool working correctly again?  Your expertise will be greatly appreciated as I am at my wits end!
    Frustrated in TN!

    With the Crop tool activated, look at the controls near the top of the Photoshop main window.  Chances are you have values in the Height and Width fields.  Press the [Clear] button to clear out these fields, and I believe the Crop tool will be restored to the operation you know and love.

  • My crop tool is sticky

    My crop tool is sticky. Just by moving my cursor around, the crop frame moves with it even tho I have not clicked on the frame. I have an older iMac from 2008 and a brand new 27" iMac. I use a trackpad on both my macs. The same problem exists on both of them which seems strange. Just by moving my cursor around, the crop frame moves with it even tho I have not clicked on the frame. I no sooner get one side done and move to another side and the whole frame moves right along with me. I can't let go of it. Sometimes it takes off by itself (honestly!) and becomes long and very narrow or does some other weird thing and I have to press reset to start over only to have the same thing happen again. I have called Apple and they claim that no one else has ever complained about a similar problem. They had me trash the preferences iPhoto plist and start over with that. Sometimes it works fine for dozens of photos after doing that and other times it doesn't help at all. I have hundreds of old photos I'm making a slideshow out of in Keynote and everything is going great except for this one problem. I hesitate to reinstall iPhoto. Is that my only option?

    Well, I've spent about an hour torturing the crop bars in iPhoto, trying to generate any kind of consistent bad behavior. When I first started, I was seeing problems occur about once every couple minutes, but not in any consistent way. I saw the crop frame change shape when nothing was selected and I was just moving the cursor. I saw the cross for corner manipulation track my cursor finger all the way into the center of the frame, even though I was not selecting anything. I saw one or more frame sides jump in or out a quarter inch or more at a time, when nothing was selected. This last was the most common misbehavior for about the first half hour. But the more I honed in on trying to recreate any problem, the less it started happening. I thought perhaps I'm doing something with my fingers on this new trackpad that the software is not interpreting the way I intend it to. I'm pretty sure at this point it's at least partly that, based on the diminishing occurrences as I experienced tonight.
    In the last 15 minutes or so of constantly grabbing and moving corners, dragging the cursor over every part of the frame and photo with and without selecting things, the most I could get was twice when I was moving the cursor without selecting anything, and the whole crop frame shifted less than a quarter inch. I tried quitting iPhoto and restarting it, switching to different photos, and trying the same operation of selecting an area and trying to make it act goofy in a preview image I have up on the desktop. I even walked away for five minutes, rinsed my hands in water so they were nice and cold again, and I still can't get it to fail again. I think I'm done playing with it for tonight, but the next time it does misbehave, I'm going to plug in my usb mouse and see what happens. If it is a library issue, how I select things and control the cursor shouldn't make any difference, should it?
    I've been using my bluetooth mouse on my mac mini (same versions of iPhoto and OS) to edit photos in iPhoto for the last three years, and I've never seen anything like these mis-behaviors.

  • 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 won't drag with CC Photoshop 2014

    I have searched everywhere and talked with Adobe support through chat (they ended that abruptly??!), and Twitter and still have not had any resolution to this. I hope someone can help.
    I'm trying to do a simple crop. I've done it a million times with no problems BEFORE CC 2014.
    I select the crop tool and try to drag but it always stops immediately and selects the entire image as the Crop Preview.
    I've tried:
    using "Classic Mode"
    different Ratios/Resolutions
    uninstalling/re-installing
    installing the latest update - but that always fails. - I'll even completely uninstall, then when it goes to re-install it will install the one file (after a million attempts at failing to download it) and then fail on an update that it tries to install. I've tried at least 20 times. AT LEAST!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!  Could it be my NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS? (I know that's not the reason for the failed downloads from Adobe servers - that's all on them.)

    I have spent a week trying to get this to work and now it just started working for all images. I have NO idea why.
    Here's what I did:
    1. uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS drivers and reinstalled them
    2. uninstalled CC Photoshop 2014 (2x)
    3. clean install of CC Photoshop 2014 (2x)
    4. installed update (took dozens of tries before this actually downloaded and installed successfully unfortunately)
    5. clicked on the crop tool and tried to drag... nothing happened
    6. waited, waited and waited.. went about my other work and forgot about it and then after about 5 minutes the crop box appeared. I was able to adjust it too.
    No idea but I'm happy now.

  • Why is the crop tool in Lightroom 5 so sluggish on my otherwise very fast machine?

    I'm running a Macbook Pro Retina, new from this time last year.  It's got 16gb RAM, a 768gb SSD (with about 150gb free space), and 2.8GHz processor.  Everything else is lightening fast on my system.  Lightroom is fine otherwise, but the crop tool is almost unusably slow.  When I tap "R", it sometimes takes 5-10 seconds to load into crop mode, and another 5-10 seconds to load out of it. 
    Additionally, it will show the incorrect preview in crop for the first few seconds, so if I go back to re-crop something, it will act as if I am adjusting the cropped version rather than the original, so if I exit too quickly, it comes back wrong. 
    I've tried what other users recommended - using both full screen and not, updated to the latest version, restarted multiple times with no solution.  Please help!

    I was amazed at the amount of info you put into that post. Thanks for that effort.
    I made sure Onyx was up-to-date and ran all the schemes you listed. That did nothing. However, reading further in your support thread gave me some ideas. I started looking into third party extensions and plugins. I recalled installing Silverlight a few days ago, for what reason I have no idea, since I trust Microsoft only marginally more than I trust Google. Which is to say, I don't trust either of them at all. So I threw that plugin into the trash.
    I should have checked the performance right there, but I didn't. Right under Silverlight, you mentioned Flash. I decided to check the prefs on it, and found that it was set to allow sites to save info to my computer, and Camera/Mic and Playback were changed from "Block" to "Ask Me". I distinctly remember setting those for maximum privacy. I reset them, cleared all the files, and exited the prefs.
    I just checked them again, and everything is changed back to allow Flash to have its way. Looks like I'll be uninstalling that now...
    I also installed Acrobat recently, just to have an alternative to Preview. Sea Monkey opened an alert box just now, telling me to watch out for the Acrobat plugins, as they've been known to cause problems. Gotta love Adobe.
    Back to the topic at hand, I think it was the Silverlight plugin that caused the slowdown. All my browsers are running at full speed now after I threw that plugin out. (Now if I could just get Safari to allow me to back up a page without re-rendering it every time...)
    Thanks very much for the help.
