Fixed ratio for crop tool

I do a lot of photo cropping. Is it possible to set a fixed
ratio for
the crop tool? It can be done with the marquee tool, why not
the crop tool.
I know about Shift-Drag to constrain crop marquee.
Thanks for any help,
Martin

Interesting, I'm getting the same thing over here. So you're
not alone
Marty. (FWs8 on winxp-home)
You could use a mask if the crop is relatively small?

Acrobat Reader - Use Fixed Resolution for Snapshot tool images setting

Hello,
We're currently running Acrobat Reader 9.x on our production Windows Vista SP2 Enterprise image and we're running Acrobat Reader X on our development Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit image. I'm curious if there's a registry setting that sets the "Use fixed Resolution for Snapshop tool images" from 72dpi to 300 dpi.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rob

The per user settings are held in the following registry location:
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\10.0\Selection
There is a hexadecimal value named iSnapshotResolution which contains the resolution for the Snapshot Tool. Also a parameter called bUseFixedSnapshotResolution which needs to be set to 1 to switch the feature on or 0 to disable the feature.
This is a per user setting but I believe Reader checks the per machine location
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Adobe\Acrobat Reader 10.0\Selection
Presumably you can put the same values into the HKLM section (it doesn't exist by default) so you will need to create the Selection key.
Hope this makes sense.
You might also find benefit of using the Enterprise Deployment tools for your deployment environment.

Add custom aspect ratio to crop tool drop down box

hello,
i need a few custom aspect ration settings to my crop tool. is this possible, its horrible to do this manual.
regards

Mark,
That's actually a great idea that you brought up, although it still isn't quite suited for my case.
By the time I've gone into projects, I would have typed in the ratio already. But I can see the benefit of doing this batch.
On your great idea...
I've always liked how lightroom presets worked (you could have presets of many different settings into one easily selectable one), versus Aperture only having presets for individual adjustments. Your method would come really close to a global preset as in Lightroom. I've been thinking about this for such a long time!

Perspective setting for crop tool

Is there a perspective setting for the crop tool in OS Elements 11?

That action doesn't ship with photoshop elements.
I recorded the action in the full version of photoshop for use in photoshop elements.
You can download the Crop with Perspective action from here:
https://workspaces.acrobat.com/?d=sCtr20eu02Ei92ALhVZWow
After you download the Crop with Perspective.zip, unzip the file and load the action from within pse 11 Actions panel.
Steps to use the action:
1. Play the Crop with Perspective action and you'll get a square crop (bounding box) at the center of the image.
2. Drag the corner handles (highlighted in red above) to the corners of the object in the image you want to straighten
3. Sometimes the above is enough and you can hit the green check mark to complete the crop.
Though i usually draw out the center handles (highlighted in yellow above and red below) to the corners of the document to get more freedom
for the final crop of the image
4. Result after hitting the green check mark to complete the crop.
6. After using the crop tool to crop just the grid.

Three icons for crop tool and others in windows 7

My tools come in 3's since I installed PSE8 on windows 7 (core i 7, 64 bits) mainly crop, move, eyedropper and paint bucket. Others like clone, text and blur are OK. What gives? I had same program on XP and all was working fine.

That's a known bug with PSE. You should be able to set the text size to 149% via Set Custom Text Size and not trigger the Editor bug. Note that the Organizer also has a bug with text sizes -- its menus won't display properly at text sizes larger than 100% unless you apply this workaround:

I have been using Elements 8 ever since it came out, and all of a sudden the cropping tool has changed: I can no longer crop horizontally or vertically, only diagonally. The up/down/side arrows have disappeared! Please help if you can, I'm no longer able to make my photos look their best. Thank you in advance.

Quit the editor (Quit PSE on a mac). Then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

How to do a select a fixed ratio region and crop(hide)?

I want to select a smaller area of a photo while preserving the canvas aspect ratio of 3:2 (from a DSLR) and crop it with the hide option.
I can select a fixed ratio region and then use image->crop. However that doesn't give the hide option.
If I use the crop tool I cannot get a 3:2 ratio area automatically.
How do I do it?

first find the link between mara , marc and zperson , if u have link to 3 tables then u can jus write a join and populate the table u want ( thats final table with all the fields).
u defenitely have alink between mara and marc so join them and retrieve all data into one internal table.
then for all the entries in that internal table retrieve data from zperson into another internal table.
then loop at one internal table
read another internal table where key equals in both the tables.
finally assign fileds if sy-subrc = 0.
gs_finaltable-matnr = gs_table-matnr
etc...
and finally append gs_finaltable to gt_finaltable.
there u go ur final table has all the data u want.

PSE7 Aspect Ratio Crop Tool keeps seizing up on me

I run Windows Vista 32bit and PSE7+ACR 5.6 and I'm perfectly happy with this set up. However, recently an annoying thing has been happening part way through editing a series of photographs, in that the aspect ratio crop tool seizes up completely, leaving me with the crop ratio that I last used before the lock up.
I have learned that the only way to resolve this is to save the picture I'm currently editing and close the Editor. Once the Editor is re-opened the crop tool works fine again ... for a while. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the programme but that doesn't work.
I would be interested to know if anyone else has had the same problem, and if so how did you cure it? I'm fairly desperate now - I tried the Adobe UK tech support twice today but was left hanging twice for more than ten minutes, so I had to give up as I'm on a fixed income I can't afford to waste money!
Any ideas anyone?

I haven't been ignoring your reply Hatstead (thank you for troubling by the way) but I have already tried this on the numerous occasions that the crop tool has locked up on me. I've also tried 'Reset All Tools' but that has had no effect either.
I had hoped to see a torrent of replies from numerous knowledgeable PSE users and experts on this forum, since a similar post by me on other photography sites has not produced a definitive technical answer to this problem to date. I don't want to have to resort to purchasing PSE9 or 10 (plus the accompanying Scott Kelby book) since PSE7 gives me all I require at the skill level I find myself.
Once again ... has anyone else had a crop tool locking up problem, and how did you resolve it?

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.

Crop tool in Camera Raw 8.4 for PS CS6

I recently downloaded camera raw 8.4 for use with photoshop CS6. The crop tool in camera raw now only allows me to crop to a ratio rather than to a specific size. I usually crop to 9x13 or 17x22 inches. How do I get this feature back? I prefer and need to crop my work to a specific size.
Thanks, Jeff D.

Good day!
I notice no difference to prior to 8.4.
But maybe the ACR Forum may be a better place for questions realted to ACR.

Crop tool Aspect Ratios

I have question regarding the Aspect Ratios of the crop overlay tool. Lr comes with a number of crop aspect ratios - for example 5x7, 16x9 and 16X10; where 5 and 16 apply to the width, and 7, 9 and 10 apply to the height. There does not seem to be a way of creating customer aspect ratios like 7x5, 9x16 or 10x16. If i try creating 9x16 Lr, says it 16x9 and does nothing.
Is this by design? Am I missing something?

dj_paige wrote:
Just one more question about this: why do 4x3, 16x9 and 16x10, default to 1024 x 768 pixels, 1920 x 1080 pixels and 1280 x 800 pixels? I have enough pixels to do a 16x9 crop with 6016x3384 pixels.
I am skeptical of this statement. When you select 4x3, this means a 4x3 aspect ratio, and not a specific number of pixels
Fully agree with you but this how my crop aspect ratios look like; I can assure you that if select 16x9 it automatically defaults to 1920 to 1080 pixels. I am assuming that the custom ratios are below "Enter Custom ...".

Crop Tool Malfunctioning! How do I fix it?

My crop tool no longer works. I can choose an area I want to crop, then when I go to "Image/Crop" it only crops a single pixel. I have been having to select the area with the rectangular marquee tool, copy & paste it into another layer, delete the background and go to "Image/Trim." Why would this be and what can I do to fix it?
Thanks, Neil.

With the crop tool selected, make sure there are no values
entered in the width and height boxes, if there are, press the clear button
and see if that makes a difference.

Cropping tool for illustrator

hello,
does anyone know of a similar plugin or a script or something that can do Cropping like Kimbo did, but for CC?
I've searched, but I haven't found anything and it seems crazy that no one would try to replicate that function.
this is the plug I'm refering to
http://members.shaw.ca/spvincent/plugins/Kimbo_files/Kimbo.html
but I actually only care for the rectangle cut tool. it is very hepful for cropping nasty autocad imports.

http://www.astutegraphics.com has several plug ins which will allow similar operations as the Kimbo plug in used to.
As for the simple cutting, Illustrator's built in Pathfinder can complete that. There is a Pathfinder > Crop option. It won't work on all object (rasters, meshes), but other than that, it will crop shapes as needed.

I'm trying to do a batch crop in camera raw and there is no dropdown option in the crop tool to select inches or pixels. How can I fix this?

Create an action to do the crop and user the image processor to batch process your RAW files and have it use your cropping action in the process.

Hello, my name is Todd, I recently dowloaded PS CC 2014. I have used PS for decades. The crop tool will show the progress bar, then at about 25% it will totally stop. What can I do? Thanks

Double check all the settings in the crop tool, and make sure you aren't telling it to create a HUGE image as a result of your settings.
