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.

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.

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...

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.

Page Cropping Tool Box Size Problem

I just recently tried to crop a page in Acrobat 9 Pro & noticed that the drop down crop tool box does not fit my computer screen; it is too big. How can I change the size of the box such that I can check the OK box when I am finished cropping the page in order to save it?
My laptop is a HP Pavilion dm4-2180us Notebook PC running Windows 7 (64-bit) operating system.
Please see attached screen shot which should better explain my problem.
Thx

Is it possible to compress your display. With a tablet, it is simply a matter of drawing your fingers together when placed on the screen. This does not change the pixel resolution, but does change the size of items on the screen.

Crop and Marqee Tool problems on CS4

When first launching CS4, the cropping and marquee tools work just like they should, but after a while of use, suddenly I can no long drag the selection to any size I want. I only seem to be able to select small sections using either the marquee or crop tool. If I restart PS it will work fine again for awhile and then fail again. I suspect it may be a memory problem. I have 4.5 gig or ram and am using 75% for PS. Anyone know what is causing this?
And by the way, what the heck happened to phone technical support? I had a phone support contract with Adobe, and the phone number for it has been disconnected. The new number provides no way to access that contract, and waiting times exceed 30 minutes!! What happened, Adobe going out of business?

Clear the tool.

CS6 PS Cropping Tool has many problems for working professionals...

Ok, I understand that the kids at Adobe would like to change things around in "upgrade versions" of Photoshop. However for working photographers and professionals that crop A LOT of images in the course of their work, the new cropping tool is a DISASTER! A few may like the new tool... however, there are many that don't. http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/photoshop_6_crop_tool?utm_content=re ply_link&utm_medium=email&utm_source=reply_notification#reply_10280572
To the point, here's how to fix the problem. Adobe, you have the CS5 PS cropping tool code... please put that code EXACTLY as it is in CS5 into the "Classic" option for CS6 PS. This way, those who WORK with Photoshop and PAY to use the software can get their work done using the excellent crop tool as was in CS5 (which I have downgraded to so I can get work done) and those who are giddy about the new crop tool can play to their hearts content.
Adobe, you are upsetting a lot of paying clients with your new crop tool and the "faux" classic tool option. You might want to address this issue soon!

Ken, I have to say that I too chose to go back to CS5. I feel like I got nailed with being an "early adopter", you know the guys that get to do the bug testing for a company because they didn't know how to do it or were too cheap.
That is something that Noel (How you doing Noel? You probably don't remember me from back in the Macromedia user group days, but thought I'd say hi anyhow) either doesn't understand or isn't acknowledging so far.
I am judging by his like 19k+ posts that he's either a rep on behalf of Photoshop or an avid user. I appreciate what he is trying to do, but on the other hand, just admit the tool is a pain. It isn't intuitive. It does take WAY too long to figure out to use.
I have NEVER had this much problem with any tool in Photoshop. This tool represents the biggest pain I have EVER experienced with a Photoshop tool and I've used it since '93. I adore Photoshop. I am a power user. Those words aren't the words of a flippant newbie.
I know if I use it for 8 hours a day like you Noel, that I will get used to it, but that isn't the point.
The point is that I feel like I was hit with a poorly thought out tool, with a poorly implemented "Classic" mode that feels buggy, to say the least. It's usability doesn't "flow" because for example what genius thought of hitting the P key to go into Classic mode, when that conflicts with the Pen/Paths tool? Really? My deeper concern is that Photoshop is slipping on it's usability standards like Apple is on it's iPhones. In the words of usability guru, Steve Krug "Don't make me think."
What I chose to do is this:
1)Grudgingly use CS6 for the things it does really really well. Can I just say I love the new Raw interface, and love "Clarity" for example? Great job guys. I watched a tutorial and got it almost instantly.
2)Continue to use CS5 for cropping lot's of images, something I also do a lot of. Cross my fingers that whoever dropped the ball on this gets their act together and makes this tool truly usable and intuitive. At the very least they will make the Classic mode work properly. For example, why do I keep popping out of Classic mode? Why doesn't the preference stick consistently? There shouldn't be a learning curve this steep on a crop tool. I'm really surprised this didn't come up in usability testing.
I hate being the first adopter, because they get to work out all the kinks for the people who failed to do their job in the first place. That's what feels like happened here. If users don't complain and give feedback, Adobe will never fix the problem, right?
Now before somebody freaks out and calls this a flame, it isn't. No emotion is to be read into this that isn't expressly stated. I'm not being sarcastic, sardonic or unfriendly. Whatever tone is being read into this is a projection of your own mind.

Problem With the Marquee and Crop Tools

I have just upgraded to Photoshop CS5.
Whenever I drag out a rectangular marquee, elliptical marquee, or crop lines, while in the process of dragging, it draws the selection ("marching ants") from the center-out. It's as though I am holding down the option key, even when I am not. It's particularly annoying.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some kind of glitch? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

You know, the more I use it, the more I realize that it's all sorts of things beyond the Marquee and Crop tools. It's "glitching" all over the place, and, you're right: it is doing things as though modifier keys like shift or option are being held down, even thought they're not.
As for the OS version: I haven't noticed anything weird happening yet on my work computer, which is still 10.6.4. The one that has the problem is my laptop, which is new, and it started out with CS5 on 10.6.5. So it seems consistent with the theory that 10.6.5 is part of the problem.
I logged out and then back in, as per some suggestions I derived from past threads, and that seems to have fixed it. At least for now. Folks are saying, though, that it is only temporary until the issue returns.

I use PSE 9 and i just recently encountered a problem trying to crop a photo. I can't find the crop tool. What am I doing wrong?

I have been using PSE for quite a while but I am not a power user. I often use the crop tool to trim unwanted elements and set the size for the paper I want to use. When I opened a photo to edit yesterday the crop tool was not there. There is a tool named recompose but if I click it I cannot make any adjustments. I do not know if other functions are affected and I have no idea how to check them. I have no idea what caused this problem and would appreciate any assistance in resolving the problem.

Which operating system are you using?
The Crop Tool shares the same tool slot in the toolbox with the Recompose Tool.
You should be able to Left click and hold on the toolbox icons to see the fly-out menus for the tools that share the same slots.
Tools in the toolbox that have other tools in the same slot have a little black arrow to the right of the tool icons.
One can also use Shift+C to switch between the Crop and Recompose Tools.

Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

It's an old installation, 2.1.4. I'm running OS 10.9
That is the problem. Aperture 2 is not fully compatible with MacOS X 10.9; the crop-tool, the Loupe, some brushes no longer work reliably in the newer MacOS X version. And I really doubt, that there will be bug-fixes for Aperture 2 on Mavericks. These incompatibilities started with MacOS X Lion, and have gotten worse with each new operating system release.
To run Aperture with Mavericks you will need to update to Aperture 3.5. for full compatibility.
Do you also have older plug-ins installed, that might be incompatible with Mavericks? Check with the developer's website, if there are updates for any plug-ins.

Crop Tool Button Problem - Sometimes it works, other times you get Crop Pages Menu

I can't be the only person who's had this problem. Sometimes in Acrobat when I press the Crop Tool button, I get to use the rectangle selection box window and it works fine. Other times when I press the Crop Tool button, I get the Crop Pages menu which is very fustrating .
I found a solution which is to open a PDF where the Crop Tool works fine. Use the Crop tool command and save it. Exit Acrobat. After doing this, any PDF should work fine with the Crop Tool, but there's gotta be a better way.
Any experts know a setting I missed or a mistake I'm repeating?
Note: It seams when Crop Tool works correctly, the button stays pressed down (darkened), but when it doesn't work, the button stays up (not highlighted).

You'd have to get a quote from a phone shop or Nokia Care ! But you can buy the phone from £50 to £150 on Ebay, so may not be worth the repair ?

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.
