CS 6 Crop and expand canvas help

I just upgraded from CS 4 to CS 6 and use an IMac. I need to send a digital image to my lab to make a print 28 x 20. However, the lab makes a 30 x 20 so I must expand the canvas and have the lab trim the extra expanded canvas to end up with a 28 x 20 print. I can't seem to get to do what I used to be able to do so simply in CS4. It appears that I have to chose a ratio so I pick 5 x 7 (7x5) to crop for a 28 x 20. Then I have tried to expand the canvas, but when I open up "expand canvas" the box shows the size to be is about 14 x 10 and I don't know how to get to the end result as I have tried changing the size to 30 x 20 and then moving the 28 x 20 to the blank. The 28 x 20 is just too small when placed on the 30 x 20 expanded canvas. Lab received what I sent and it was not right so what do I do? Totally confused. Have also tried just making the expanded canvas on the 28 x 20 and this is not working correctly either. Help!!!

When placing a PDF created with Distiller, I only get Crop and Media as import options -- I need it to crop to the Trim! PLEASE HELP!

I'm having a MAJOR problem placing PDF files in InDesign CS4...
When I try to place a PDF that has been created in Distiller, the ONLY import options I can choose are CROP and MEDIA. I need it to crop to the TRIM, but that option is grayed out. The PDFs I'm trying to place were created in-house, and converted from Post Script files to PDFs using Distiller. We use PDF/X-1a equivalent settings when creating our PDFs.
If I export the file as a PDF and then try to place it into a CS4 file, I am able to select Trim as an option.
ALSO, if I open the Distiller PDF in Acrobat and then save it (without changing anything), I am able to select Trim as an option. A workaround I have found is to open all of the PDF files in Acrobat, save them to my desktop, and then save over the ones I need to place. Here's the problem with that: I work for a publishing company, and need to place hundreds of ads for each issue of our publications, and it adds a lot of time if I have to go and re-save everything just to be able to place all the ads.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I need to get this figured out so we can use CS4 for all of our publications again. -- We've gone back to using CS3 until I can get this figured out...

Steve,
Thanks for the reply, but my PDFs all have trim boxes on them. If I try to place the same PDF in InDesign CS3, it gives me Trim as an option. Also, if I open the PDF and save a copy to my desktop, I am able to select Trim as an option when placing the PDF, and I didn't change anything about it.
I've been trying to see if it's something with the Print Preset settings I'm using, but I can't find anything that seems like it would affect how InDesign would read the Trim area of the PDF.
I've attached 2 PDF files. One that was created with Distiller, and one that was exported from InDesign CS4. The Distiller one doesn't show Trim as an option in CS4, but the exported one does.... but they started out as the same ad. Ugh! Help me please!

Help! crop and move curser distorted in Windows 7

I bought a new PC and was afflicted with Windows 7. The latest thing to hate is this issue with my Photoshop move and crop too.
The crop and move curser is distorted. Instead of the crop tool curser, it's 3 of them pixelated in a row, same with the move tool. It is the same with CS4 and CS2. I tried removing and reinstalling twice and no help. Anyone seen this?

Also in addition to updating your video card driver, i've seen that happen when
the system dpi scaling is set higher than 96.
Check under Appearance and Personalization>Adjust Font Size and see what it's set to.

Hello, I recently uploaded about 250 photos from my phone onto iPhoto. However, when I go to view them, they have already been auto-cropped. It seems I must click "Edit," and then "Crop," and then expand the box to the fullest size. Any suggestions?

Hello, I recently uploaded about 250 photos from my phone onto iPhoto. However, when I go to view them, they have already been auto-cropped. It seems I must click "Edit," and then "Crop," and then expand the box to the fullest size. I don't have enough time to undo this auto-crop with all 250 photos. Any suggestions?

@SuperMan
I noticed this as well when navigating through the photo gallery on my iPhone.
If you (and he) are asking about iPhone operation then you are in the wrong place - this is the iPhoto for Mac forum - there are forums for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch as well as iPhoto for IOS -
I do not see any cropping in iPhoto on the Mac for either camera or iPhone photos (I use PhotoStream with auto import to get my iPhone photos to iPhoto on my Mac) - and given the way iPhoto works it is really not possible to have auto-cropping - the only thing that I see even close to that is that when you select edit ==> drop the default crop is slightly smaller than the photo - but unless you accept that nothing is changed and the photo is exactly as imported

HELP!!!! How to crop and save an image

I recently started using iPhoto when I bought a digital camera. I have figured out pretty much how to use it but I would like to crop AND SAVE some of the pictures. I have gone so far as to crop an image and print it but the print comes out like the original shot. Also is there some way to convert these images into smaller file sizes and saving for uploading onto another website? Thanks in advance! .

Hi imageconx1,
I think it will do you good to read the Help file for iPhoto. While iPhoto is open, hit the Help in the menubar.
You can also find the same info online on the iPhoto Support
site.

I cannot seem to figure out how to export the pictures I have worked on. I create a collection and when I export them they go to "my pictures" as the originals --NOT the cropped and edited versions. Help!!!

How to export you pictures after they have been edited?

Are you sure you are looking at the exported photos and not the original photos, when you say you don't see the cropping and editing?
If so, then you are probably exporting with Image Format set to "Original" and you probably want to set it to JPG or TIF

Help with custom cropping and known aspect Ratio's

I would like to crop a small part of a larger image with custom / free flow dimensions to the crop and then be able to print / export at a know print friendly aspect ration. An example would be a taking a crop of one person in a couple,from a larger image. The crop is outside common aspect ratios. Can lightroom fit the image to an aspect ratio of my liking whilst maintaining everything I have cropped?
Thank you in advance

Clearly we can't get one aspect ratio into a different aspect ratio without either trimming bits off, or else leaving gaps.
So the best I can suggest is: crop in Develop according to the subject content that you don't want to see.
Then in Print, set up your print layout (or choose a print template) which contains an image cell of the desired size and shape.
There are two ways that a photo can be put into such a cell: it can be fitted "loose" so that you always see the whole current crop, leaving white margins as required; or else it can be fitted "tight" using the Zoom to Fill checkbox. In the latter case, LR applies an additional print-only crop which forces the image that is seen, to adopt the shape of the cell. So the aspect ratio of the Develop crop, does not need to have been exact for this precise output.
This print-only crop will only remove further bits of the photo, not put any back - unlike the Develop crop. But you can slide the image around for the best composition, in terms of what it trims off.
Your main (Develop) crop has not been altered in any way by doing this, and can of course still be adjusted further also, which will in turn alter how the zoom-to-fill appears.
[ edit add: The Develop crop might be made specific for a particular print shape, but does not have to be, with the above technique. Maybe one actively wants to retain the camera-original aspect, with other kinds of output in mind. In any case, page margins often mean that the actual printed area is not quite exactly the same shape as the notional page anyway - a "10x8" printed with a half-inch margin on three sides and a three-quarter inch margin on the bottom, would print 9" x 6 3/4" (which is a different shape than 10x8). And all that would need to have been worked out each time, re-cropping the main composition for each different output size, margin width, etc then re-cropping it back again to 3:2 (or whatever) for your web upload. That can be managed through presets, virtual copies, snapshots - but sounds like a lot of extra work to me. My own images are cropped for general purposes, but each one remembers its last print settings also - which places it onto a page in the needed manner.]

PSE 11 editor has stopped importing from scanner, no longer permits drag and drop, will not permit cropping, and other bizarre issues

Windows 8.1, PSE 11
I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos. Then some freezing. A little added crashing. A plethora of other bizarre issues as well. This just stated happening a couple of days ago.
What I have tried:
Uninstall/Install.
Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it.
Kindly advise. Thanks!

Final Update: ...god willing...
OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it!

Crop And Straighten Photos - Changing parameters / Editing Script

Hi. I am currently using the Crop and Straighten Photos automation to crop scans of 10 to 12 maps that are scanned on a large flat bed scanner.
A lot of the plans have rough edges and aren't always completely square. Is it possible to allow a tolerance (eg. 5mm, or 20pixels etc) before cropping each image? I've tried editing a .jsx script that was submitted on this forum (the script was designed to crop more border from the image, as opposed to leaving more image) but this simply added a black border around my image as it enlarged the canvas side once the image had already been cropped.
Instead, I need the selection area to be increased prior to cropping.
Does anyone have an idea on whether I can get a script to do what I am looking for?
Furthermore, if two or more of the maps are joined at all by a hair or a frayed string of canvas from the map's backing then the Crop and Straighten Photos automation considers it to be one map and crops it as only one image. Is there a way of increasing this tolerance to make the cropping process more brutal so to speak?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Christoph.
I'd realised that once i made the post, and yes, the duplicate and flatten parts in the process are unnecessary, they have been removed. The action is set up now so that once it crops the individual images, it closes the main image down, and then saves and closes the individual images. It is setup to save and close 12 images (as this is the most there will ever be in my case), and I set the action to post errors to a log rather than halt, so if there are less than 12 files it will continue and just post an error in the file. It works really well now thanks!!
I then run an action that options each individual file and brings up the "save as" dialog. This is a chance to perform a QA on the image and to save it as the correct name on the plan.
However, the action is currently setup so that it creates a complete new image each time and closes the original. This is the only way I can make the "Save as" dialog point to the new destination as if I simply open and "save as" the original files, the default folder always resets back to the original folder where the cropped images are. I'll have to investigate other methods of opening and renaming the images to help speed this part of the process up.
Thanks so much for your effecient responses. They have been a great help!
Cheers.

Feature Request - custom crop default & making canvas larger

Please make lightroom quicker for people who use 8x10 instead of the original proportions from your camera. I am aware of the trick to copy and paste or sync with crop, however if lightroom could have a way to setup at a default custom crop so it loads up that way when first used, and keeps the crop as the default from one photo to the next that would be great!
It would also be nice if when cropping and you need to make the canvas larger and go outside of the original dimensions of the photo that lightroom does this automatically. Right now I only know to use the scaling feature, it would be much quicker to just add this logic to lightroom so it scales outside of the photo when you are cropping if thats what you would like it to do.
Thank you!

Brett I dont think you understand my question. theres two parts to it.
When you crop and select the aspect ratio theres no way to make this a default, so each time when i get to a new image i need to select 8x10 again. if 8x10 was made to be my default lightroom would not crop out some of the pixels unless I choose the crop tool and use the crop tool. I am just looking for lightroom to be faster its annoying how it defaults to the original image dimensions for the crop tool each time you select the crop tool you have to change the crop ratio.
The second request is one that rawshooter used to do automatically when you use the crop tool you can easily crop outside of the dimensions of the photo, thus making the canvas larger. this gives you an image that you can place into photoshop and fill the empty spots, this helps change the composition of the image if shot with the model in the center you can easily move the model with a crop and by filling the background in the new empty space especially easy with a simple background. I hope this helps, its easier to do more with lightroom. i do it right now with the scale feature in lightroom, but it would be faster if lightroom did it automatically if you pull the crop tool outside of the image area. Thank you!

JPEG/PSD issue--I open a jpeg and edit it (levels, crop) and then "save as" and the save as option shows there are now levels in the image and it wants to save it as a .psd file or a copy with layers. What am I doing that has these settings appear?

16bit? Pixels extending beyond the canvas? (from a crop with delete unused pixels turn off). Have you previously been saving PSD files?
IME you sometimes have to tell Photoshop that the first save of a session is JPG, and it remembers from there on. The way to 'tell' Photoshop that JPG, or PDF, or PNG etc are now your preferred format is to Ctrl (Cmd) click on that format in the Save As drop down list. So long as the file does not have parameters that your chosen format does not support, then this should work for you.
[EDIT] Just noticed that you did include 'Crop' in the subject line. Do you have 'Delete cropped pixels' checked?

Is there a way to adjust crop borders on Crop and Straighten?

I'm trying to use Photoshop CS3 to crop and straighten images of postage stamps. E.g., place a bunch of stamps on the scanner bed and scan them as one image. Then use Automate/Crop and Straighten Photos to create separate workspaces each with a single stamp image, cropped and rotated appropriately. This almost works; the problem is it often crops the stamps too closely, cutting off the perforations. The rotation is not always perfect either. For example, for the above image I get:
These two are pretty good except the perforation tips are trimmed off.
This one is a disaster
So I'm thinking if there were some way to specify how tightly the images are cropped, it might help solve the problem. Any other suggestions?

We now have a solution.

Changing the Color of Crop and Bleed Marks from Registration to Black

Hello all,
I have been searching the web and have tried numerous things but I can't seem to solve this problem. In InDesign crop marks and bleed marks are printed in "Registration" color. I understand why that is needed for plate printing. However I am laser printing and I need those marks to be in "Black" color. I have tried to edit the cropmark script by changing "Registration" to "Black" on the line with myRegColor. I have tried changing the printer setting to "Pure Black". However I can't get the crop and bleed marks to print in "Black". I have been on various websites and while there are people asking the question I haven't found a answer that works. I have searched this community as well but haven't found an answer that I understand. Before I manually make crop marks I want to make sure I am not missing something completely obvious.
With laser printing there is a different charge for color and B&W. The fact that the crop marks are coming in as color and not black means B&W pages are counted as color in the printing cost. I have tested the same docuement (which was just one page full of sample black text) with and without crop/bleed marks. When the document is printed without the marks the printer clicks as a B&W page. When it is printed with the marks the printer click as a color page.
I am creating the doc in InDesign and exporting to Acrobat for printing. I am using Creative Cloud so I think I have the most up to date version of InDesign.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

With CS6 or later you can export to grayscale and in that case the crops will be black only. Like this:
You should set your Appearance of Black to Rich black otherwise 100% black CMYK might export to something less than 100% grayscale. When you check the PDF in Acrobat set the simulation profile to the grayscale profile you export to.

FRM-13002 : Stacked and Tab Canvas must be created within Content Canvas

Hi,
I have a Tab Canvas with 2 pages on it.
In one of the pages the data to be displayed will be
out of the region(size or length) of that page.
I read in this forum for the same problem, the
member had suggested to use a Stacked Canvas on that
Tab page alone and enable the scrollbars of the stacked canvas.
When I drag and drop a stacked canvas on a tab page
of the tab canvas I get the following error:
FRM-13002 : Stacked and Tab Canvas must be created
within content canvas.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I am breaking my head over this.
I am still unable to solve this issue.
========The Requirement is as follows :===========
When I select a Tab Page of a Tab canvas, I get a
combo box with items in it. When I select an item from
the combo box, based on the item selected, I am
retrieveing the data from the database and displaying
it in that Tab Page itself. This data is in a matrix
format. i,e Has a number of rows and columns.
Without a Horizontal and a Vertical Toolbar attached
to the Tab Page I would be unable to view all the records
that are displayed on that Tab Page.
Any suggestions or examples is most welcome and
appreciated.
NOTE : ALso in what situations can we use a stacked
canvas, if the designer does not allow me to
use it with other canvases?.
Thanks in advance
Sharath.
