I cannot locate the CROP TOOL on CS6 Photoshop

I have searched and searched my program for the crop tool...  I need to straighten and crop an image and now at frustration level!
Where is the crop tool?
Tony

Some tools are hidden by other tools in groups
You can left click and hold on the tools that have a little triangle to see the hidden tools
For the Crop Tool you can press C and then hold Shift and press the C key repeatedly to get to the Crop Tool

  • How come I cannot freeform the crop tool anymore?

    I typically do not maintain a fixed aspect ratio for the cropping tool in Lightroom (2014).  But I needed to change it to a fixed ratio temporarily to crop to some print sizes.  But now, the "Custom" aspect no longer works.  Every time I try to crop anything, it reverts back to "Original" and I cannot change it.  After selecting custom, as soon as I start to drag an edge or corner to crop, the aspect reverts back to "original".
    How do I fix this?

    If the custom numbers you type in give you the mathematically identical aspect ratio to the original aspect ratio of the photo, then Lightroom will change your custom back to "original". As I recall, sometimes if the numbers are really really close to the original aspect ratio, this will happen. No, I can't quantify what "really really close" means.
    Can you give an example where this happens to you? What is the custom aspect ratio your are typing in? What is the original aspect ratio of your photo?

  • Why is the distort filter greyed out so I cannot access the twirl tool in CS6 Extended.

    I have a layer which is white with a clouds render but when I want to go the next step I cannot access the twirl tool or the zig zag tool. I notice this is the only filter I cannot access.
    Any advise as to why or what I should do to be able to access it for my project would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Margaret

    As I was putting a screen shot here and answering your question regarding the bit depth I realised it was 16 so changed it to 8 and voila I can now access the distirt filter. Thank you so very much for assisting.

  • Where is the Crop tool in CS6?

    I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option.  Where is the Crop tool?  I tried to use instructions at Photoshop Help | Adjusting crop, rotation, and canvas but that did not help.  It never did tell you how to crop an image.

    I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option.
    Why?
    Make the Selection, then use Image > Crop if you want to use that Tool.
    The Crop Tool still has the single-key-shorcut C, so depending on your settings hitting C or shift-C repeatedly should select the Tools with which the Crop Tool shares a space in the Toolbox in turn.

  • Setting DPI with the crop tool in CS6

    What happened to being able to set the DPI on the top tool bar when you manually change the crop demensions?

    Mike, I just finished using the "Contact Sheet" and it's been changed to the worse also.  Gone is the total number of photo's in a folder and a readout of the individual image size.  For some reason it also seemed much slower.  The folder that I selected had about 200 images which is rather typical for what I do.  The one thing that it got correct was at the end it had actually flattened the image.

  • The crop tool causes Photoshop CC to hang up. I have to use CS6.

    I cannot use the crop tool in Photoshop CC.

    I just cropped my profile photo and the crop tool is now working normally.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 for years. All of a sudden, the cropping tool changed: I cannot crop vertically or horizontally anymore--only diagonally. This has made it impossible for me to get the photo I want. I hope someone knows how to fix th

    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.

  • Scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open

    I would like to know if there is a way to scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open, like in Acrobat 5.0. If not with the mouse, is there another shortcut to go through the pages and adjust the size of the crop and see it on different pages? Thanks!

    Yes, but I won't see what I'm cropping if I cannot scroll down while the window is open. Thank you for answering anyway!

  • Why did you omit the perspective check box in the crop tool?

    I used the perspective frequently because I have sciolosis & most of my photos are askew. that easy checkbox was very convenient.

    Perspective Cropping is now its own tool, right under the Crop Tool in the Tools Bar.

  • 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.

  • I use PSE 9 and i just recently encountered a problem trying to crop a photo. I can't find the crop tool. What am I doing wrong?

    I have been using PSE for quite a while but I am not a power user. I often use the crop tool to trim unwanted elements and set the size for the paper I want to use. When I opened a photo to edit yesterday the crop tool was not there. There is a tool named recompose but if I click it I cannot make any adjustments. I do not know if other functions are affected and I have no idea how to check them. I have no idea what caused this problem and would appreciate any assistance in resolving the problem.

    Which operating system are you using?
    The Crop Tool shares the same tool slot in the toolbox with the Recompose Tool.
    You should be able to Left click and hold on the toolbox icons to see the fly-out menus for the tools that share the same slots.
    Tools in the toolbox that have other tools in the same slot have a little black arrow to the right of the tool icons.
    One can also use Shift+C to switch between the Crop and Recompose Tools.

  • My iTunes account says that it cannot locate the original file for all of my songs.  My iPhone still has all the music and is able to play the songs, if I sync and backup my iphone will the songs be replaced with the empty copies from my itunes library?

    So basically I tried to back up my itunes library to my external hard drive and when I followed the instructions and then went to play a song it said Orginal file cannot be found. It said that for all of the songs. I'm not sure how to fix what I did, I already tried consolidating and all of that stuff and it didn't locate the files.  I'm guessing that I somehow deleted the original songs along the way.  I synced my iPhone without knowing what I did and surprisingly all of the music is still on my phone.  So now that I've completely screwed up my iTunes account, I need to know how to get all my music back onto my iTunes account and have that library only on my external hard drive, not my computer. Everything looks fine on my iTunes besides the fact that it cannot locate the files but what I'm afraid of is me syncing and backing up my iPhone and then being left with no music because it syncs to the empty songs.  How can I fix this? and if I can't fix my iTunes library is there anyway for me to still be able to backup my iphone and all the music on it, without erasing my music?

    Well I'm not sure if I correctly backed up my itunes library because when trying to open itunes from that back up it keeps saying original file not found. Okay this is going to sound confusing but bear with me.  I "backed up" my itunes, meaning I just dragged and dropped the iTunes folder into my external hardrive, and then I changed the destination on iTunes to open from my external hardrive.  It was working fine when I did that, however I did that just on my own, I didn't know about consolidating the files or any of that so I hadn't done that before copying the folder to my external hard drive. I can't remember but I'm pretty sure I deleted the iTunes folder after I had copied it to my external hardrive. So I did that and it was working fine, I was able to open my itunes with my external hardrive.  BUT yesterday I thought that I hadn't done it correctly because I didn't consolidate the files and all that, so I wanted to be more thorough and do that, I followed the steps to do that but when I did that I think it got all the files from my computer and not from my external hard drive so it basically didn't find anything on my computer because I had deleted them. And like an idiot, I replaced the iTunes folder on my external hard drive (the one I did correctly the first time), with the one I did wrong. So I believe I pretty much deleted all the music files from both my external hard drive and my computer. Please correct me if I'm wrong?
    I believe getting all my music back on my itunes is a lost cause. BUT I still have all my songs and stuff on my iPhone. My question is, if I plug my phone into my computer and sync it, will it erase all my songs from my phone? A little more info, my iTunes still has the names and stuff of all my songs, they just can't be played because the files are missing, my iPhone doesn't need to erase and sync when I plug in my phone because it's already synced to my computer. What I'm afraid of is when I plug in my phone to backup and sync, will it erase my music because it can't find the files on my computer or external hard drive anymore? Or will it just leave the songs because they're already there (on my phone) and only sync the new songs that I've downloaded? I just need to know is my iTunes still going to be functional as far as me being able to backup my phone?
    I have a lot of songs purchased from iTunes but a lot (like 60%) are from CDs that I no longer have. So re-downloading my music would only account for 40% of my library.
