My LR 5.4 Crop Tool isnt Working correctly?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro 15" fully loaded with the 27" Monitor, I am running Mac 10.9.2 Mavericks and just updated to LR 5.4. It is the second time I have used LR on it since I bought it. When I went to crop a photo from 4X6 to 8X10, it is not changing the photo in the view. It looks like the thumbnails show it changed, but I would like to see it in the full view. I have tried rebooting it, and still get the same results, can anyone help me out? I have never had this problem in 4 years of use.

Have you restarted Lightroom and your PC?

I'm having the same problem on a Windows 7 PC after installing LR 5.4.
When you crop a photo in the develop module and click close, the crop is not reflected in the work area. Likewise, no changes that I make: white balance, exposure, etc. are being reflected in the work area.
If I make a bunch of changes and then create a virtual copy, all of those changes including the crop are reflected in the virtual copy, but nothing changes on the photo as I am working.
Not an acceptable way to work!

Crop tool not working properly

I have CS4 photoshop. The crop tool was working correctly before, but now when I try to crop an image the tool doesn't cover the whole image the way it used to. It doesn't pull down across the whole image. Did one of my preferneces change? Please help me!!
Thanks,
Pat

Thanks, but I got it to work by hitting the clear button.

Straightening and Crop tool not working. What to do?

I've been working with photos all morning, and now neither my Straightening Tool or Crop Tool are working. What to do?

Close and re-launch Aperture. Let us know if that doesn't take care of it.
I try to close Aperture once an hour. It pushes my hardware (and, likely, OS) to several of its limits. Re-launching the program rinses out any crud that has accumulated (that's not _exactly_ technically correct, but ... ).

Cropping tool not working - please help

i can't figure out what the %$#* is going on with my cropping tool. when i drag it across a picture, then crop, the image is reduced to a spec. the information window defaults to a size only fractions of an inch, even though the actual picture is still at that size, for instance 8x10.
i've tried booting up several times, and even installed photoshop CS3 software again to no avail. i don't know if this is a simple fix, or if there is an inherent problem with the software. it has worked fine for as long as i've owned CS3, about a year. then suddenly the other day stopped working.
anyone ever come across this glitch, or know whom i should speak with about this problem? any insight would be appreciated.

i've scoured this site and have not found any threads that nod to my specific problem. maybe i didn't look hard enough, sorry.
thanks for your response, but i don't know how to reset crop tool. could you please advise
thanks

CS Crop tool not working due to "program error"

My crop tool works when pictures are in landscape orientation but not portrait orientation. This is a new problem that has developed within the last week. 80% of my pictures are taken in portrait orientation. A message pops up that says "Could not complete your request because of a program error." Any ideas?

Reset the tool from the drop-down menu. If that doesn't help, reset your preferences as described in the FAQ.
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.ef4a07f/1
You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

How to get crop tool to work faster (is sluggish)

I'm cropping a few thousand pictures, and the crop tool is just sluggish.
Changing the crop or moving the picture behind the crop is jumpy, sometimes it needs seconds to change the display, which makes cropping pain to work.
Even after the picture is loaded and the lightroom rested some time, cropping is sluggish, which should not be, since the picture is fully in the memory and moving it around should be easy for the computer.
So how can I get the crop tool to move faster?
I'm using a Win7 Core i7-2600 with 16GB Ram, LR catalogue on Intel SSD, images on a fast SeaGate HDD, AMD Radeon HD 6800 grafics adapter, 30" (2560x1600) display. The files are NEF from a Nikon D800E, but the files from my D700 are slow, too.
I already worked through this list which helped a little, but not too much.
I'd appreciate any tips!
thanks,
Sam

Sam,
That's both good and bad news.
It has to draw a tonne of pixels in the higher resolution, and I suspect that it uses only the CPU to do it. Having a faster video card likely wouldn't help.
While you do your cropping, maybe you could shrink the Lightroom window so that the actual image that shows is taking up less than half the screen area. There have been posts on this forum that indicate a large speed increase from keeping the image fairly small. It seems to be quantized: there are certain thresholds, when crossed, that cause big boosts in performance. Try some experiments.

Final Cut: Cropping tool not working...?

Hey, I'm trying to crop a scene in the sequence viewer, but the cropping "logo" isn't showing up (which is making it impossible for me to crop). Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Yes, I did mean the cropping tool. It doesn't show up in the viewer. Since I'm new to Final Cut, would you mind telling me where the Motion tab is? I don't seem to see it. Thanks! Also, the X that is suppose to show up in the Viewer isn't there either...any idea why?

Eye Dropper Tool (Color Picker Tool) not working correctly - Premiere CC - Windows 8 - Multiple Displays

I'm running Windows 8, Premiere CC 2014 with two monitors. The eye dropper tool (color picker tool) isn't working correctly. It is selecting colors that are not the colors being hovered over. I've reasearched and see solutions to the problem when occurring with Mac, but do not see a solution for Windows. When I disconnect the second monitor, the eye dropper tool works correctly (as described by Mac users). I deleted any profiles for the montors that weren't the same, and still having the issue. I've also tried putting the source monitor on the second monitor, and tried sampling color from there... same result.

Hello All,
Problem solved...I reset all tools in the Tool Preset window. Seems to be working.
Hope this helps someone...
Cheers!

My Smudge Tool isnt blending correctly like it should?

My smudge tool isn't working correctly like it should in Photoshop cs5. Can someone help me?
Heres an example. :

When i do that, the image just messes up, My intention , for example. say i wanted to do a makeup edit, and i wanted to the picture to be more realistic so i added black around the noise and used the smudge tool to blend in the mark to look like it was drawn in a bit. Instead of doing that the smudge tool just goes one straight direction just as in the picture above.

Photoshop perspective crop tool not working

I have photoshop CS6 and used to use the perspective crop too all the time, and it worked just fine. Occasionally I would get weird results but if I just redid it, it would work properly.
lately, it give weird results ALL THE TIME. My only workaround has been to take the result into genuine fractals and redo the image dimensions. The best way to describe what is happening is that while applying the correction, the program inverts the image dimensions so that a horizontal image becomes a vertical image, all squished from side to side and elongated from top to bottom.
Is there a way to 'reset' the tool, or uninstall the tool and reinstall it? Or some way to correct this problem? I don't want to have to reinstall the entire program because of all the plugins and custom stuff I have.

Yes, there is. Go to the Options bar, right-click on its' icon. Select "Reset Tool"

Quick selection tool not working correctly

I am trying to extract a portion of a photo...i tried using the selection tool to extract the portion on another picture, and it worked GREAT!
Now i'm trying to use it in another photo and the refine image tool isn't extracting it into a new layer like it did with the other one!
is there something that i may have clicked or turned off that is preventing me from making this extraction??

Hello,
Could you be more specifc as to what you are doing here?
You mention using selections tools, including the Quick Selection tool, but these tools only create selections, they do not extract the material you have selected. A selection is like highlighting text in a word processor, after you have highlighted the text you can copy/paste it or modify it, but simply highlighting it doesn't do anything. Same with selections, once you have created a selection with a tool like Quick Selection you can how copy/paste it to a new image or perform adjustments to just that area.
I'm not sure what you mean by the "refine image tool", we don't have anything by that name. However, we do have a Refine Edge option that helps to make cleaner edges to your selection.

Move tool not working correctly, will not move individual layers only only groups.

Everytime I try to move a layer within a group it moves the entire group OR if it is not in a group it moves every single layer.
The only way this does not happen is if I use the transform tool to move. This stinks for work-flow.
Im not sure if I accidently made a change somewhere OR this is a bug ? Any fixes or suggestions?

Illustrator CS - Selection Tool not working correctly

Hi all...
A customer of ours has an odd Illustrator CS problem. When she tries to use the Selection Tool to select any item, it auto-selects everything. Even if she uses the selection box by dragging the cursor over anything, it selects all the different items in the image.
Has anyone seen this or fixed it before?
Many thanks!

How about this?...
With the selection tool/black arrow tool, you can select the object, change the color or opacity and move it...but can't un-group it.
With the direct select tool/white arrow tool, when you try to select an individual shape to make slight changes to the path...the anchor points will show up as you mouse over them, but nothing shows when you click on the path.
When drawing a new shape with the pen tool, the anchor points don't show as you draw the shape. No handles appear...but the shape shows up. It's like feeling your way around a dark room on instinct.
...and it's only doing this in one particular file. When another file is opened all the quirks listed above do not happen. Each tool works as it should.

Multiple tools not working correctly in CS4

Hello!
So I didn't see any topics that related to my issue so here goes:
I was drawing in Photoshop, no issues, but after I tried to copy/paste a selection of the picture, I realized that nothing was copying or pasting at that. (Now before anyone asks, yes I am on the right layer and I know the correct keys/drag down menu area to use to copy or paste) Later, I tried to use the line tool but that only made a clear line shape but nothing else.
Now I've tried reseting the preferences, restarting photoshop, resarting my /computer/, but nothing's working.
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thank you for your time!

Hello!
What OS version are you using?
And you are aware there is Shape option and a Path option for the drawing tools?
