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?

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.

Samyak Veera - Why Photoshop Crop Tool Problem?

Yesterday, I had problem with the photoshop crop tool. It usually works fine, but suddenly it has been acting up, whenever I try and crop something it turns the image into a tiny little dot I have NO idea why. Was it a setting problem or other thing that I might have messed with? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks Samyak Veera

One way to fix a tool acting up is to reset it. Right-click or Ctrl-click on its' icon in the Option bar and select Reset Tool.

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?

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.

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)

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.

PS CS6 Beta - Crop tool problems

Generally, i think the new crop tool is pretty good. However, i'm having some problems with predefined sizes / areas.Let me try to explain:
1. For example, I have a scanned image that is 26.14 x 20.32 cm @300ppi
2. I have defined a size called 'Half Page' which is 23.5 x 15.5 cm @300ppi
Now, what i would expect is that:
1. The moment i open the scanned image, click the crop tool and select the 'Half Page' setting, the crop boundaries would show up up at the correct setting in terms of size and resolution.
2. I should then have a window within which i could move the image to get the parts i want into the crop box.
This is not happening:
1. The crop size (box) is showing as 23.5 x 15.5.
2. The info is showing as 26.14 x 17.24
3. The image size is showing the same and @ 300ppi.
Obviously, i'm probably doing something wrong or else...
Grateful for any help!
Cheers!

Further Noel... just tried setting the predetermined box in pixels... same problem...
What seems to happen is that the largest dimension reverts to the image boundary, while the smaller dimension crops into the image. This despite my setting the ppi to 300 - the same as the image's ppi.
The way i look at it, when i set a predertimed size, the crop box should be at that size... particularly, as you suggested, when i have pixels selected as my dimensions. And my rulers are also set to pixels.
The latest attempt as follows:
1. Image size is 20.32 x 26.14cm @300ppi (2400x3087 pixels)
2. Crop size is set to 1831 x 2776 pixels (ppi setting enabled to 300 and rulers are also in pixels)
What happens is the crop box defaults to the full height of the image and crops in at the sides. Info box shows: W:1831, H: 2776. But it's encomapssing the full 3087 pixels (height) of the original image.
The way i look at it i should get a crop box that is smaller than the image and now should be able to move the image around to gt th crop i want. This way i still have to crop into the image and it's then resampling the image.
Cheers...

CROP TOOL PROBLEMS

Hi everybody ,
using the crop tool when typing the crop marquee the select square doesn't show
the side handles only the corner handles.
The effect is random , some times i have all the eight handles
and the other times only the corners , as you can see in the attaches file
HAVE ANYONE SOME KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THAT PROPLEM
THANKS

You're right to expect side handles. The outline should also change from dashed to solid if you're running with OpenGL enabled.
Go into the Edit - Preferences - Performance menu...
Is [ ] Enable OpenGL Drawing checked?
If so, try unchecking it temporarily and testing.
MAKE SURE to close and restart Photoshop before testing any change to the OpenGL settings.
If you want to continue to use OpenGL, try click the [ Advanced Settings... ] button.
What controls in the GL Settings are checked?
If some are checked, try unchecking various controls.
If you are having OpenGL issues (i.e., if any of the above make a difference), visit the web site of the maker of your video card, and download and install the latest video driver they have released.
What video card did you get? ATI/AMD video drivers for modern cards are up to Catalyst version 11.1, and I find it works pretty well.

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.

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.

Adobe Publicly Claims Leopard is the Reason for PS CS3 Crop Tool Problems

From the Adobe User to User Forum for Mac PS:
"Adobe and Apple are working closely to provide a fix to a known issue running Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS3 Extended on Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5.1). Currently, when you enter values in numerical fields to set sizes for the brush, crop, marquee, lasso, type, and other Photoshop CS3 tools, those values revert to previously entered values when you try to apply them.
While we have identified workarounds for some of the affected tools, this issue prevents people from working as precisely and intuitively as they expect. Providing a fix to customers is a top priority. Please note the following:
The fix will be provided through an update to Mac OS X Leopard. Consequently, it is not part of the Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) update.
Apple is collaborating closely with us to get this fix incorporated into a Mac OS X Leopard update. *No public schedule* is available at this time, but both companies understand the urgency of this fix."
This is a huge major problem and would hope that Apple, if indeed it is their problem, will assign all the resources necessary to get a fix far before 08 arrives.

Adobe should have had updates waiting on the day 10.5 was released. Not possible? BS! Even a dippy little driver like SteerMouse had a 10.5 version posted to download the day after 10.5 was released.
You are conveniently omitted the various developers, much smaller than Adobe, who did not ship updates the day Leopard was available, claiming that they really needed to test with the final shipping version. I might try to dig up a few of those notices.
Believe it or not, Adobe actually beat several small developers to Universal Binary, even though it took a while for Adobe's huge code bases.
And if it's a Leopard bug, then I want Apple to fix it, rather than forcing the developer to work around it if there's a fix coming anyway. That would be a waste of time.
Also I severely doubt that Adobe had the, as you say, "source code" for Leopard. Does Apple let any other developer have the "source code?" I think the only source code allowed outside the Apple campus are the parts that were already open source to begin with.
