CS6 Crop Tool Progress Slow (Stalls)

What do I have to do to fix this? It wasn't doing this before on the same machine, with the same configuration.
I have CS6 installed on a Mac Pro desktop, 3.3 Ghz dual-core processor, 6 GB RAM, several physical drives configured as scratch disks, and no other applications running. I CAN'T be running out of RAM.
The files I'm cropping are .PSD files, no larger than 34 Mb in size. I can't even crop a web-res image - the progress bar grinds to a near halt half way through a simple crop. The machine has not locked up and PS does respond to "cancel" commands.
Graphics card is an nVidia GE Force 8800 GT, and the drivers are the latest from nVidia.
I've restarted the machine and restarted PS.
Delete Photoshop preference file and try it again?
Any suggestions?

Get a PC
the made me write thatly I can not help.Have you tried turning off GPU support in Photoshop's preferences. It may be a driver problem even the latest driver may not be good.

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.

CS6 Crop Tool - Fine Adjustments

The crop tool in CS6 is vexing me a bit. It seems I can't rotate the crop window as finely as I could in CS5. When I grab a corner and rotate it moves from 0.0 to 0.6. I frequently need finer adjustments when cropping. Something like a 0.1 or 0.2 degre rotation.
I crop every image (film scans.) This is frustrating.

Probably not going to help you, but holding down the Control Key I can get 0.1 degree accuracy when rotating the crop. The method I have adopted is to hold the Control Key down and slowly drag sort of sideways with a slight upward or downward motion and this works for me. I have noticed I need to do this very slowly and deliberately, else it jumps to a much higher value.
Maybe this works as I have eliminated mouse acceleration in the control panel? Have not tried this with my Wacom yet as I have yet to install the drivers on my new system
Hope this helps

Why is Lightroom 5 Crop tool so slow?

Having this problem all the time. Sluggish crop tool making it impossible to make fine adjustments. Sole solution is to NOT use the 2nd monitor view. It seems this is causing the problem.
Except I WANT to use the 2nd monitor-option as a part of my workflow.
Using a Macbook Pro Retina 2,3 i7 with 8gb Ram, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB and OSX 10.9 latest version. Surely this config is strong enough?
Secondary monitor is a Lacie324 hooked to the MBP through Apple-HDMI cable.
Help wanted! This is driving me crazy.

Hi John,
Sorry but no. Still having the problem. Just installed CUDA driver for Mac. Hope this will help. Don't know if LR really takes advantage of this driver though.
Read somewhere to uncheck the "dynamic switching between Graphics Cards" - box in "Systemprefs>energy saving options". But still haven't seen improvements in performance.
Had no response to the issue by anybody else so it's difficult to come up with a solution.

Can I reduce motion when using CS6 crop tool?

I find the new crop tool almost unusable: nauseating mix of movement of the crop box and the background image. It's quite literally nauseating for one prone to motion sickness. I much prefer the previous versions' way, where the image is fixed and the crop box alone moves, and arrow keys nudge the crop box and not the image. Can I revert it somehow, click a 'reduce motion' someplace in prreferences, or force the image to stay still while only crop outline moves?

Go to settings (The cog wheel icon, right of view drop down), click "Use Classic Mode"

Lightroom 5.5 Cropping tool so SLOW update to fix?

I recently upgraded to LR 5.5 with help from Adobe support with the technician taking over my screen, soI'm confident it's all been upgraded and installed correctly.
But when cropping rotating an image it takes 3 secs to catch up what I have done. Over a 1000 photo wedding to edit this can be a serious waste of time.
My computer is very good. iMac 2013 with 32Gb RAM.
Anyone else having thos and more importantly found a fix for it?
Are ADOBE aware of this bug and are they bringing out an update?
Thanks
Jon

Hi,
<Before optimising catalog>
I've tried using the upright tool and it's as snappy as ever. I've also tried manual perspective transformations, and they seem to be just as fast as they were before the upgrade to LR5.5.
I've also tried a handful of other operations (Vignetting, Post Crop Vignetting, Tone Curve Adjustment, Radial Filter), and they all respond at a decent pace. So currently, yes it's just cropping/rotating that are moving slowly.
<After optimising catalog>
I can't be sure whether I'm imagining it or not, but crop/rotate do seem to be a little smoother/faster. I was getting the "rainbow wheel" previously, and I'm not getting that now - there's just a brief pause while the image appears to re-render, and then we're underway again.
Again I might be imagining it, but it seems as though the drag/delay is greater when I'm cropping down significantly - slight downsizing of images doesn't seem to result in as much of a delay as massive downsizing by cropping.
I'll carry on like this and see whether there's a sustained improvement.
Many thanks for your help,
Vineet

Crop Tool Changes its orientation

I have a crop tool preset I made in landscape orientation to size photos all the same for a data-merged book I do every year. With CS6 I noticed a new and annoying behavior; if I move the crop tool too far to the left, it automatically changes the crop area to portrait. If this is supposed to be a feature, it's a most unwelome one. If my crop preset is landscape, then that's what I want. I'd like to know if there is a way to disable this "feature".

Have you tried changing the Crop tool setting to use classic mode. I don't know if that will do the trick. CS6 Crop tool has been reworked. Many do not like the rework?

Crop tool/perspective crop difficulties...

I've been using CS6 for a little while, and like many others (and UNLIKE many), I'm not happy with the changes to the crop tool... I found a number of discussions about the crop tool, but none appeared to address my simple difficulties...
In past versions I created presets - for example, 1024x768x72ppi or 14 in x 11 in x 240 ppi. I could very quickly apply a preset, and if my image was vertical instead of horizontal, I simply clicked the arrows between horizontal and vertical dimensions to switch the dimensions. This capability appears to be gone from the CS6 crop tool. How do I switch the dimensions in CS6?
And, no, the perspective crop tool isn't an adequate replacement. I can't find ANY way to do presets in that tool. Nor do I seem to be able to find a setting to show the "rule of thirds" on the perspective crop.
Was this thing changed just for the sake of change, or is there some SIGNIFICANT improvement somewhere in the tool that's not intuitively obvious to the uninformed observer?

OK, I AM the dumbest human ever! I could SWEAR I tried every button and switch and whatever on the crop tool. But, it does indeed work as you said......
Now I have a DIFFERENT problem.... I"ve gotta relearn how to crop to a size since it appears that selecting the 8.5x11 for example, does NOT give me an image size of 11 inches times the default resolution... Another thing that's been consistent for X versions that I'll have to relearn... Are you guys SURE the Adobe people didn't just change the way a bunch of this stuff works for giggles?

If I understand what you're saying, what is confusing to you is that when you drag, you are moving the image itself underneath the selection, as opposed to moving the selection over the image. Drag to the left and you're moving the image to the left under the selection, so the selection remains stationary in its position relating to the window, but the selection is now positioned to the right of its original position relative to the image.
That's just the new behavior.
However, if instead of dragging from the somewhere inside your selection, you drag from one of the handles of the selection, the direction of the stretching of your selection will appear more like what yiu are used to, particularly if you are set to Fit Image on Screen.
If you play around with that a bit, you'll get the hang of itin no time.

Aaaaah, that is where your problem lies!
You either like the new Crop Tool, or you like the old, Classic mode. You can't have a little bit of one and another little bit of the other one.

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?

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?

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.

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)
