Cropping question: image window disappears

Lately, when click after cropping an image in CS5 the image window disappears.
Rashid Arshed

You probably have some values entered in the width, height or resolution fields.
With the crop tool selected, either click on the Clear button or right click on the Crop icon in the tool options bar and select Reset Tool.

Adjust Image window disappeared

I have a Macbook - it looks like the Adjust Image Window for Keynote is to the left or right of the screen beyond view. How do I get it back?
cp

My inspector window was completely hidden with the additional monitor in full resolution, just like You describe it- funnily enough not even restarting the program/computer helped getting the window back in range
I found the ultimate help: with a second monitor (I use a laptop, so one is always in the go):
- switch the display settings to "synchronize" and "attach" the additional monitor on the edge the inspector is hiding at (detectable by a little stripe that disappears when You push the inspector button- it should appear again so You can move it to where it belongs... thanks Fatih!

I have a problem when cropping 8 but tiff files in elements 12. Once area is selected and I crop the image it disappears. The file no. sill shows but the image is not viewable. I have saved the file from that point and tries reopening but the image isn't

Has anyone experienced this before ? I have previously been able to crop images with no problem. Recently when I open an image and crop it and confirm the action the image 'disappears' If I save and go to reopen the file is there but it will be zero meg in size.

Hi,
Try resetting the crop tool.
To the right of the tool option bar, click on the little horizontal lines and you should see reset tool option.
Good luck

How do I keep my clipping path from shifting positions when I crop an image? [was: Question]

How do I keep my clipping path from shifting postitions when I crop an image?

The work path will remain positioned relative to the same underlying pixels after a crop. Are you trying to position it relative to one or more image edges after cropping? I don't think you can do that without moving the workpath after the crop.

A few image files disappeared: can't be re-imported from backup

There are at least a 4 dozen pictures imported into LR 5.x last September that now cannot be searched and which are not in the dated folder where they should be - even if searched in Windows Explorer. It's part of an event, and it appears to be all those on one card from one body. I remember seeing these images in the Library module at the time. No Previews with question marks.
If I go to the duplicated import created that day I find the "missing" images in the folder created at that time. Yea Adobe for creating the easy back-up for importing. In this backup folder the images can be searched and opened in either Windows Explorer or a viewer like FastStone. . If I put the files into the date-organized database folder (to "Synchronize" in the main directory) LR says it cannot import them as they are already part of the database. I tried copying these files in Explorer to a different hard drive and tried importing again: no help.
How can I convince LR that these need to be re-imported? More importantly, can anyone offer a scenario by which these image files disappeared from the disk and didn't leave a preview with a question mark? I didn't actually do any work (Dev module) that I remember on these. I certainly can go through with Bridge and batch rename this little set and present them again as an import request. But what causes something to drop out of the DB and disappear as a file? Obviously some kind of operator error is the most likely, I understand.
Deleting all Previews? Seems like that would make the machine work for hours to redo Previews for 90,000 pix.

Thanks for the suggestions (and warnings). I am pretty experienced with Lightroom and know the structure behind it. What was weird here was that when I try to bring one of the images back in through Synch or Import, says "It's already part of the database" BUT when searching for the image by file name LR finds others that share the same file number (not strange) but NOT the image I want (strange). This search was performed at the root of the file/folder structure, so should be looking into every folder in the database. An Explorer search shows that the image is no longer in the database folders. It is only found in the "Backup" folders created by LR when ingesting the card at the original import.
OK, so use the OS to move some of the files (12) back "inside" the folder, click Synch folder and it tells me there are 12 new photos. So far so good. BUT -- although they are now "there" in the folder and re-imported they still do not show up in the Library thumbnail view and can't be searched in Lightroom (by file name). The 12 didn't show up on a import screen with one lone PS image in that batch that was newly created this afternoon and DID show as a new import. I expected to see the 12 on that screen.
To answer one question offered today: No, the images do not show in the Develop module.
So something tells Lightroom these are not new and that they are aready there. However, not searchable.
Next step changing the names of the offending file, like appending a letter. See if that makes them look "new".
I think I can fix this as long as I have to original CR2 files unprocessed, which thankfully, I do. Anyone have a theory about what causes this? Never had it happen.

Photoshop CS2 redraw garbage when moving around an image window on my G4 laptop

Hi.I recently had to reinstall Photoshop CS2 onto my Mac Laptop 1.5 GHz PowerPC G4, running system 10.4.11, which required a new hard drive after the old one died. I am immediatly encountering a serious redraw/image repositioning problem in Photoshop that I have never seen before, and in Imageready as well. This does not happen in Macromedia Fireworks 8 however.
I am zoomed into an image. Using the hand tool, or the scroll bars or the arrows, as soon as I move an image little messed up line graphic glitches appear and stay in place for the remainder or working with an image, and ultimately covers the image completely after moving around within it a number of times. you can see examples of this in these screenshots I've uploaded:

http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage03.gif
http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage02.gif
and the lines stay the same size and position even when zooming in. here's the same image w/ the same defects zoomed out and in:
http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage01.gif
http://pixeljam.com/temp/photoshopRedrawGarbage/moveGarbage01_zoomed.gif
I've tried trashing & re-installing photoshop completely, tried running it before the updates needed from the original Photoshop application disk, and after. still the same problem.
This occurs only when using the laptop on its own. When I hook it up to my Apple Studio Cinema Display, it works fine. The problem does not occur on the Cinema Display OR the laptop screen! it's very odd. Basically, the laptop is now something I cannot actually use away from my desk until this is resolved.
Has anyone ever encountered this or possibly have any suggestions or advice? Thanks so much!

Hi. Thanks for your responses. There is definitely some incorrectness in the info I provided about the computer. for the Hard Drive, it's odd.. I copied and pasted that from my system profiler.. In actuality the Hard Drive is 74.53 GB. Not sure how that error occurred.
Also I looked again at the computer's memory. I forgot the second larger 1GB memory card when I was copying and pasting from the system profiler. Sorry about that. I was in a but of a rush to get the question out.

Another thing I noticed about the problem I'm facing is that it leaves defects from mouse trails as well in the image window. None of the defects are lasting nor will they print. I close the file and they go away, if I zoom, they stay the same size. I'd agree, it sounds like a video card problem, but the reason I posted here is that only in photoshop and imageready do these problems occur. My guess, if it's the video card is that they are just programs that require more of the system. why my video card would be crapping out now, I have no idea. but I guess that's how it goes.
But why would it work fine when hooked up to the apple cinema display? even on the laptop screen itself the problem is not present. only when the laptop is on its own.
The computer has served me very well for almost 3 years without this problem, so that's why it's something that is not a normal problem that should be expected from this computer. I am grateful to have it & can't afford a new one.. this one is still sitting on my credit card balance. Thankfully I am under the applecare protection plan and will bring it in to the local Mac shop on monday and demonstrate the issue to them.
Thanks for your replies.

Can't crop an image in CC2014

Hi I can't crop and image in photoshop. I keep getting the message "Cannot complete your request because of a program error".
I tried resizing the canvas and received the same error.
I uninstalled (removing preferences and reinstalled the photoshop app but still get the same error.
I am in windows 7 Service pack 1.
Thanks in advance for any good ideas on resolving this problem.

Sounds frustrating. Have you tried chatting with Adobe tech support? They're in India, but very smart and very polite. It may take awhile (like an hour), but they've been able to solve every issue I've had so far ...

Error: "Scratch disk is full" when cropping an image

Solution suggested by PECourtejoie.
Issue: When you try to crop an image in Photoshop and enter width, height and resolution values in the crop options, you receive the error that the scratch disk is full and are unable to crop the image.
Details: If you leave the crop options blank, you can crop the image successfully. This usually occurs because you left a resolution target in the options for the crop tool and it is attempting to resample your image to something bigger than your scratch disk can hold
Solutions: Do one of the following:
Solution 1: Clear the crop tool options.
Click the Clear button on the crop tool options bar to remove previously entered measurements and the target resolution.
Solution 2: Specify measurement units when cropping.
Enter the desired measurement units in the width and height crop options. For example, enter 100px for pixels, or 1in for inches. Remove any text from the resolution field.
Solution 3: Set the default measurement units.
To set the default measurement units:
1. Choose Edit > Preferences > Units & Rulers (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > Units & Rulers (Mac OS).
2. Select a measurement unit for Type under the Units section of the Preferences dialog box. For example, select Pixels.
3. Click OK.

CS 6 Image Windows Don't Stay Where I Put Them

I installed CS 6 yesterday. My system runs 64 bit Win 7. In Preferences > Interface, as I did in CS 5, I unchecked both Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window. However, unlike CS 5, in CS 6 images 'insist' on positioning themselves in the upper left corner of CS 6 and will cover both the options bar and the tool bar. For example, this will happen after opening an image if I try to move it or if I enlarge the image window (CTRL-0). If I open two images and try to move one so I can see both at the same time, the one I try to move will not stay where I put it but instead will reposition itself to the upper left, and cover the options bar and menu bar.
As you might image, this makes working in CS 6 difficult and inconvenient. I assume this is a bug, and wonder if there are any workarounds or other solutions. To this point, I have not yet uninstalled and re-installed CS 6. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best regards,
David

Can we assume you hate the Auto-Hide feature even worse?
Hi,
The answer to your question is 'probably'. I like things to stay put, ideally where I want them. So far my feeling is that having the task bar on the bottom is the lesser of the two 'evils'. But your note reminds me to give auto-hide another try. Thanks.
Best,

How do you crop an image, then modify that cropping?

This takes the cake for simpleton question of the day.
Cropping an image in Illustrator or in InDesign is a breeze.
But how do you control it in Fireworks?
I make a selection with the marquee tool, go to edit and choose crop selected bitmap.
Now, do you mean to tell me that there is no way to modify that crop after the fact?
Can you at least delete the crop without deleting the image?
This cant be this unintuitive.
Surely Im missing something...

Masks, yes, masks are great! If you just want to hide parts of your image from view, create a mask. Masks can be other bitmaps or vector objects. Create and position your mask object over your original bitmap. Select both then Modify > Mask > Group as Mask. You can easily undo the masking. White areas in a mask reveal the underlying object. Black or transparent areas in the mask cause your original image to be transparent for those pixels. Grey or semi-transparent produce a proportionally transparent result.
There's also the Paste Inside option, where you can paste your bitmap into a vector shape. The nice thing there is that you can move your bitmap around. (I'm pretty sure, anyway. I don't use this feature.)
Anyway. You have lots of options to remove or hide pixels. The approach you take depends on your needs and preferences.
If you have an image to share and a goal to achieve, we might be able to advise you better.

How do I crop an image using Illustrator

I am trying to work out how to crop an image in Illustrator without having to use Photoshop to do so??

have you read the FAQ on the front page? it is the most popular question ever

Cropped an image, saved in JPEG, now it won't open

Using Photoshop Elements on a PC. I cropped an image and saved it in JPEG. Now it won't open, doesn't recognize the program it was saved in.

When you saved it, did you use File >> Save as ?
I ask this because you are the second person to say jpg, jpeg files are not recognised. When you post back please state your operating system (Windows 7, Windows 8/8.1, MAC) and PSE version number.
Also, if you can post the picture here please do so for us to try it on our machines.

Can I crop the image in the canvas

Can I crop the image from the canvas area so I could make several windows to add some video clips or do I have to just reduce the size of the image and make the composite of the videos. i want to make vertical, rectangle and square composite of several video clips.

The Time Remap (simulating the corresponding function in FCP) can do basically 2 things:
a. apply keyframing to the speed of the clip: you can start a clip with speed = 0% (like a freeze frame) and gradually speed up the clip to its end at 100% (standard speed); or viceversa; or start at 100%, slow down to 0% in the middle and back up to 100% at the end. You can apply just any speed variation by keyframing the Speed control.
b. force the clip to play a frame in a time different than in the original clip; for example you want to have some action originally at time 2secs in sync with a drum roll occurring at frame 2,5secs: just keyframe that action frame at 2,5secs. Then the video clip before 2secs will slow down to meet the drum roll at 2,5secs and then speedup to go back in sync at the end of the clip.
A few notes:
- only video is affected, not audio (different from FCE Speed command)
- the clip length does not change
- to see the result in the canvas always render: what you see in the viewer is not the final result.
- instructions on its use are in the download page - if they are not clear let me know.
As a suggestion you can read Ken Stone's Time Remap up to Time Remap in timeline excluded. It describes this function as implemented in FCP4, but its principles (and some details) are the same as in my filter.
Let me know...

Photoshop Elements 9: fill edges after crop the image

Hello together,
I have generated a nice panorama with PSE9, after that PSE9 asks me to fill the edges. But the part which should be filled are quiete big, because of the deformation in the panorama. And I get always the message that I have not enough memory to fill the edges. So my idea was to crop the panorama and fill the edges after that, but i didn't find the option to fill the edges in the menu bar.
Can anybody tell me how to do that?
Greets

Hi,
thanks for your answer, but this takes not the effect i want.
With the funktion "Edge Extension" the image will only be zoomed in/out.
Perhaps I haven't explained it exactly enough.
I have found a example with google:
http://pagrimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Screen-shot-2010-04-30-at-9.25.55-PM.png
You can see, there is too much space wich would be filled. So I would crop the image to the area which I'm interessted. After I have croped it, I will fill automaticly the edges like I can do after I have generated a panorama.
I want to call the same funktion which is behind the question "Would you like to fill in the edges of your panorama?”.
I hope my request could be solved.
thanks and greets
g0dj0e
