Cropping in Photoshop CS6

In Photoshop CS6, the moment you select the Crop Tool, a "cropping bounding box" appears instantly over the image.
This didn't happen in CS5. In CS5 I would be able to click and start dragging the Crop Tool 'outside' the image and then drag into it so that my "cropping bounding box" (don't know what to call it) would snap to the edges of the image.
In CS6, since this box is automatically there already over the entire image, clicking outside the image invokes some unwanted rotation action which is very annoying.
Does anyone know if there is a way to switch this behavior off?
(This happens when Classic Mode is on or off.)

I think you'll lovee it once you get used to it.

Photoshop CS6 crashes when using burn tool, crop tool, and dodge tool?

Just recently upgraded from Photoshop CS5.5 64bit to Photoshop CS6 64 bit. Crashes when using burn tool, crop tool, or dodge tool? Thanks for your help!

Turn off OpenGL in the prefs and update your graphics driver before re-enabling it.

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?

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?

Photoshop CS6 keeps crashing when I select Horizontal Type Tool, Rectangular Marquee Tool and Crop T

and probably more, but when you consider how little functionality the loss of those three buttons give me, you can understand how little use I am getting out of CS6 so far.
It makes no difference whether I use 32-bit or 64-bit.
I am using Windows 7 Home Premium on a relatively new Toshiba Satellite C660-1LD with 2.53 gigahertz Intel Core i3 M 380 with 3892 Megabytes Usable Installed Memory* with onboard Intel(R) HD Graphics.
(Processor & Memory details from Belarc Advisor)
I sometimes get a message on load saying that Photoshop cannot find my 3D settings (although my Graphics card has 3D capability), but as I'm not using Photoshop's 3D editing tools, this is no issue to me at present.
Any other information I can give you, I will. As you can imagine, this is hugely frustrating, and making Photoshop unusable.

It's not picking up my card. heres the data...
thanks

Photoshop CS6: Auto Crop and Straighten work wrong (EDIT)

Hello together,
I use the Creative Cloud for Students (German) and have make for some days an update of my programs like Photoshop CS6.
Since today the option of automatic crop and straighten makes some big problems.
Edit:
I make following Steps:
1.) Duplicate the level and make the first level invisible.
2.) I use the crop tool to mark the details which I want to have free.
3.) Click on the mask symbole in the level section
4.) At the end I click "auto crop and straighten"
It makes 39 little pics out of one. This isn't what I want to do and it is since the last update.
--> Edit end.
I hope someone understand my problem and can help.

Since your question asks "Could we ..." I would like to state that "we" cannot do such a thing. "We" here in this forum are Lightroom users, and not Adobe employees. If you'd like to make a request for a specific new feature in Lightroom, there is a link right here on the front page of this forum to the proper place to make feature requests.

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)

I am using adobe photoshop cs6. I am facing a problem. When i save any image as "save for web". After saving image it show cropped. An image show many parts of the image after saving the image. Please help me. Thanks in advance.

Just go back in photoshop and use the Slice Select tool, then just click and select the slice and hit delete - if you're not sure which one is the active slice just right click and find the one that has the Delete Slice option.
It's possible you either added the slices by accident or if you received it from someone they just had the slices hidden. For the future, you can go to View > Show > Slices to display (or hide) slices.

Strange cropping activity from photoshop cs6 to lightroom 4.3

i have never noticed the following activity:
I edited, including cropping, an image in photoshop CS6. I saved the image as a tif and also as a psd. Both sent to a folder which exists in LR catalog. Both images were revealed in LR with the SYNCHRONIZE FOLDER command.
Both images are shown in the appropriate folder, BUT BOTH ARE CROPPED MUCH MORE THAN was done in CS6 editing. Approx 1 inch has been removed along the left side (long dimension) of both images as compared to the dimensions in CS6. They happen to be sitting next to the original image in the LR catalog and it is easy to see the unwanted change. The route from CS6 to LR 4.3 was what I normally use.
WHAR COULD HAVE CAUSED THE APPARENT ADDITIONAL CROPPING SEEN IN LR. Developing in LR crop does allow the image to be restore to proper dimensions by expanding the cropped edge.
wonder if this makes any sense?
I have probably set a switch wrong in LR but cannot find my error. Photoshop seems to have performed flawlsessly.
I use iMac, i7, 10.8.2, 16GB ram.

thank you cornelia, for your reply.
I really have no workflow as I rarely do more than retouching of photos for others, each of which usually requires an irregular, often trial-by-error workflow. Most of these images are in very poor condition and are less than well photographed.
The "future project" was really a shortcut to say that i suspected that my client cannot open PSD on her machine and I wanted to have tiffs available for her.
I am afraid that i have not clearly described what i saw happen. And, it continues to occur with this single image after repeat tests of the same procedure. NONE of the other images in that folder, or any other image I have, responded in the way I attempted to describe. Probably user error-I guess I will never know!
In any case, I am very grateful that your had the time to respond.

Photoshop CS6 Cropping and Text Tool Issues

Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64
Operating System: Mac OS 10.7.4
RAM: 24GB
GPU: NVidia GTX285
Is anyone experiencing really messed up things when using the Crop or Type Tool in the new Photoshop CS6?
...for cropping:
If I crop to a (for instance) 5x7, it doesn't actually crop to a 5x7. Instead it crops to the ratio of a 5x7, but not an actual solidly measured 5x7.
...for text:
typing all of my font backwards (i.e. "sdrawkcab" instead of "backwards")
fixing all symbols I add to the front of the text line only (i.e. "© Copyright 2012" instead of "Copyright © 2012")
switching the place of numbers as well (i.e. "2012 5th 6" instead of "6 5th 2012")
What is going on here?

Flash is the only program that does this, on indesign the
problems were different and had to do with screen colors and that
was solved by changing color mode from "aereo" to vista basic.
I will try reinstalling flash, although i don't see why it
will solve he reinstall.
Thank you and if you hear any other person having this issue,
please share it.
Regards

All of a sudden, when I'm cropping an image in Photoshop CS6, I get a spiral curl inside the image while I'm resizing it. I've never had this before and it's a bit annoying. How do I get rid of it?

I've been using Photoshop CS6 for a few years and have done tons of cropping but never before have I had this spiral curl inside the image. How do I get rid of it and get back to the normal resizing/cropping of an image?

Verify your settings in the options bar.

Photoshop CS6: Question about Resolution when Post-Cropping Film Scans

Hopefully, somebody with more understanding than I on this topic, can help me with this.
I am about to get a film scanner I have on order, to scan in 35mm negatives. I've had one before but I had problems with the model and had to return it.
When scanning film frames, I like the idea of setting the scan area marquee, at the scanning stage, so that it scans slightly beyond the film frame edges, so that I can carefully crop to the edge of the film frame later, in Photoshop CS6, rather than setting it, at the scanning stage, and then later, when examining the film frame in CS6, maybe discovering that I have not scanned to the edge of the film frame quite enough, as I can easily zoom right into the image when in CS6, to carefully examine where the film frame edges are.
My concern about doing it like this, though, is that I may be reducing the resolution of the image. For example, say I scan a film frame in at 3600ppi, and later crop the image slightly in CS6 in order to precisely trim off any slight amount of black around the film frame edges. By cropping the film frame like this in CS6, am I reducing the image resolution of the film frame to lower than 3600ppi? As I best understand it, I do not think post-cropping like this results in any reduction in image resolution, but am I correct in thinking this?

Hi.
The scanner is a Reflecta ProScan 7200. As I said to station_two, I am in London. I understand the brand is known as 'Pacific Image' over in the US.
The scanning software I will be using it with will be 'SilverFast Ai Studio 8'.
Do take a look at this excellent review of the scanner:

(I may be incorrectly assuming too much when on these forums that I am speaking exclusively with folk from the US - the way you spell 'labour' makes me think you are not from the US?)

Crop Tool Missing From Photoshop CS6 Toolbar

I am trying to use the crop tool but it appears to be missing from the toolbar on the left. I have Photoshop CS6 and I simply can't work out how to find the tool. Can someone help me out please?

Is it hidden behind the Slice tool? Any tools with a little triangle in the bottom right corner, have move tools behind them.
You could use the keyboard short cut 'c', but if the Crop tool is hidden, keep pressing Shift c until you see it.

Photoshop CS6 creates new layers when cropping

when I crop my image CS6 is now creating a layer. If I check history, there is no sign that a layer was created, just cropped, however if I check under Layer, "Flatten Image" is highlighted. How do i get rid of this, just started today.

Rufous03,
Is Layer 0 the only layer you see in Layers panel after you crop the image or is there still a 'Background' layer under Layer 0?
In Photoshop CS6, the Crop tool has been refined. There is an option that enables you 'not' to delete cropped pixels when you crop - meaning your image data is not lost - you can go back to the original version at anytime. With this feature enabled (by default, it is - look in the menu bar on top - 'Delete Cropped Pixels' will be unchecked), your 'Background' layer of the image is simply 'Unlocked', therefore leading to 'rename' of layer as 'Layer 0'.
If you enable 'Delete cropped pixels' option, it will simply get rid of the pixel data that you're cropping out and your layer will remain as 'Background'.
Trust this helps.

Photoshop CS6 cropping tools is not good

Hi!
Everyone who is using Adobe Photoshop CS6 product, the cropping tool is not good as when I try to crop the image moves but not the cropping tool which makes confusing and time consuming.
When I have to print an emergency photo I have to do it within 5 minutes but that cropping tool always makes me confused. Thats why I didn't like photoshop CS6. Currently I am using CS5 product. The next crop tool works better but when I try to move it, image will go misleading.
My question is how you are managing it???
Thnx

If you ask nicely, the development engineers might provide a single button that toggles back to 'Luddite' mode. I am not being smug, because I had a wee hissy fit when I first encountered the new Crop tool in the CS6 beta, but I versy soon changed my mind and love it to bits now. Give them a proper try out and see if you can get used to the new tools.
