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.

Setting the Crop Tool Dimensions Automatically in the Middle of a Script

Is there a way to set the crop tool to an 8"x10" dimension in the middle of a script? I have a script where it prompts the user to set the crop tool manually to 8"x10" and then crop the image manually, and continues thereafter, and in another part of the script, a message alerts the user to set the crop dimension to 7"x5". I am not sure if this is possible. I tried to load a preset but it does not work the next time Photoshop is opened.
Waiting for any hint..thanks.

Yes but not so much with the crop tool. Your better off with a selection then image crop http://forums.adobe.com/message/4476999#4476999
Once you set the selection you can also make the action interactive by adding a interactive transform selection step the you turn on its dialog. While recording the action you rotate the transform 180 degree which actuallu doe not change the selection. However it let the user to just hit enter to accept the selection. If you fail to rotate the selection when you record the action. Just hitting enter would cancel the transform selection and the action would stop at the transform selection step. You can also cancel the transform to stop the action because you made a manual error not holding the shift key to maintaim the selection 4:5(8:10) aspect ratio and you moved a cornor or side. Once you cancel the transform selection you can click play the action will start pyaying from the transfor selection and you can retry transforming the 4:5 selection correctly.

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

You could use a mask if the crop is relatively small?

Perspective control with crop tool?

This may have already been addressed somewhere in the archives but I've been away from this forum for quite some time, so forgive me if it's an old topic.
Anyway, I've recently been on location photographing a variety of architectural exteriors and interiors and would love having a perspective correction - heck, why not go for the gold and ask for a 'Free Transform' option! - as part of the crop tool. Granted, there is 'sorta' that in the lens correction tools, but not quite the same.

There have been a few posts asking for a better UI to control the perspective correction. Personally I favour the photoshop crop transform approach too.

Perspective correction via crop tool.

I have always used the crop tool to correct skewed lines, both vertically and horizontally. Not sure how to do it in the new Beta Version.

Perspective Crop is now its own tool. It is just under the Crop Tool stack.

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:

Is there a way to create an action or keyboard shortcut to set Crop tool to the front window size?

Is there any way to create an action or keyboard shortcut to set the Crop tool to the front window size in Photoshop CS6?
I find that I use that several times a day. I got used to it being the top choice in the Crop tool presets menu.
Thanks.

It depends on whether you have the cloud version or perpetual license version.
For the cloud version press I (eye)
For the perpectual version press F

Keyboard shortcuts for cropping not working

iPhoto '11 (9.3.1) cropping shortcuts not working.
Pressing shift while dragging does not disable the "Contrain" setting when using preset sizes. Nothing happens.
What are we supposed to "drag vertically" or "horizontally" in a preset crop size that makes iPhoto switch between portrait or landscape constrain setting?
Having to go to the "Crop" drop-down menu to click-switch contraints between portrait and landscape is very tiring - these shortcuts don't work unless someone can please tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Disable constrain setting in crop tool when selecting an area
Press the Shift key while dragging

Hi -
In order to support keyboard shortcuts for the Tag Panel we needed to implement a bit of a unique method. The Tag Panel itself does indeed need to have focus in order for it's keyboard shortcuts to activate. The core reason for this is to remove the potential for keyboard shortcut conflicts between the rest of the app the those stored within a Tag template. Remember, you can share Tag Templates across system and with other users. and each template can contain it's own shortcut definitions. The only way to prevent conflicts is to enforce the focus rule.
the recommended workflow is to open a clip and set focus to the Tag Panel. From the Tag Panel all of the Transport Controls (JKL, SPACE BAR for play/pause, etc.) will still function when the Tag Panel has focus. So you should still be able to review your clips and apply Tags via shortcut.
Let me know how this works. We are always looking to improve workflows so if you come up with some improvement ideas please share.
Regards,
Michael

When using crop tool based on canvas size dimensions, the file size becomes very large

Can someone explain how to best figure out crop tool settings to maintain relative file size? I tried to use the image / canvas size information to set the crop tools dimensions, but the file saved is 10 times larger than the original.
Thanks!

What exact version of Photoshop? There were changes to the crop tool as of CS6, althoughy there's an option to use Classic (the old crop tool behaviour).
It wouldn't hurt to specify your platform (Mac or Win)…
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand, such as your platform (Mac or Win), exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop and of Bridge, machine specs, what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far, what error message(s) you receive, if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them, etc., someone may be able to help you better and faster.

How do I change the look of the cropping tool

How do I change the look of the cropping tool

What do you mean, "change the look"? Please be specific.
What do you want the crop tool to "look" like?
Yes, the crop tool is different than it used to be. But it works just as well as it always did. Instead of moving the crop over the timage, now move the image. Use the edge handles to adjust the crop size. Alternatively, set the crop tool to work in various ways by adjusting it in the control bar. (Size and Proportions, Rotate Crop, Straighten Image, Crop Options, etc.)
Alternatively, you can set the Crop Tool to have "classic" behavior, also via the control bar.

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?

Crop tool prior to CS6 vs perspective crop tool

In the old days, one could just use the crop tool and, while drawing crop lines, check the perspective box if you found that you needed to change the perspective. With CS6 if you start with the crop tool, and find you want to change the perspective, you have to change tools to the new perspective crop tool. In the process, you have to tell the newly opened dialog box that you don't want to crop, to get to the perspective tool, which now has reset to its defaults. You've lost your cropping and you have to start over.
Is this the correct behavior, or am I missing something?
Thanks . . .

And as far as I can tell, even if you set the perspective crop tool to constaints, like 8x10", those constraints are totally ignored, even if you use the shift key. All of these features did work with the old crop tool. And if you wanted to change the perspective, all you had to do was click a button. It seems like we have taken one step forward, and two steps back.
The W and H are not intended to be constraints on the source aspect ratio. They are for optionally specifying the destination dimensions.
Perspective Crop Tool is a specialised tool that the designers never will have intended to be used as an alternative to a non-distorting cropping tool.
The user is expected to be sourcing a non-rectangular quadrilateral that's to be distorted into a rectangle, so there is no reason for the tool to feature an aspect ratio constraint for the source region.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't have the option of the CS5-style crop tools in CS6. I am only saying that I can understand why the new PCT doesn't have the same features as a regular crop tool.

Crop tool doesn't work in Save for Web GRRRRRR

Hi,
I'm working with Illustrator CS3 and seem to have a problem with the crop area tool. When exporting an image in "save for web", however, Illustrator just ignores the settings and crops to the artboard.
Is this a know bug? Or my computer going nuts? What should I do?
I took this from the lost archiveâ¦ I seems that slices influence this.
Anybody any clues? (AI 13.02/ OS X 10.4.10)
thnx

Basically, I would do this as James does. However, James is assuming you know what he means by "Use two applications of Transform effect to make the 3 x 4 array." Since you or another reader may not, I offer the following recipe that I prepared some time ago for a class. It's for 8-up business cards that will fit on letter-size stock.
SETTING UP THE ELEMENTS
New document, rename Layer 1 to Cards.
Make a rectangle 3.5 X 2 inches (the size of a standard business card). Give it no stroke and a light gray fill (so you can see it as reference; you can clear the fill later).
Make a single set of crop marks for the top left corner. I made a 27-pt. square (3/8 inch) - no stroke or fill - and another at 18 pts (1/4 inch) - .25 stroke, no fill. Copy a horizontal segment from the smaller square, paste, and drag it to snap its left anchor to the bottom left anchor of the larger square. Copy a vertical segment from the small square, paste, and drag it to snap its upper anchor to the top right corner of the larger square. Delete the small square and group the segments/large square. Drag this group into the Symbols panel so you never have to make one again. The group on the page is now a Symbol; drag it by its lower right anchor to snap to the upper left corner of the business card rectangle. The two quarter-inch crop marks are offset from the card by 1/8 inch.
Select the crop symbol.
Go to Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Move Horizontal: 3.5 inches (the width of the card)
Move Vertical: 0
Copies: 1.
Reference Point (tic-tac-toe thing): right column
Reflect X: On
OK. The crop marks appear on the upper right corner of the card.
Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
(Warning box: Apply New Effect)
Move Horizontal: 0
Move Vertical: -2
Copies: 1
Reference Point: lower row
Reflect Y: On
OK. Crop marks appear on all four corners of the card.
At this point you can give the card rectangle a fill and stroke of None, and save the card/crop marks combination as a symbol. Call it BC.
Delete all the unused Symbols and Save Symbol Library: "BC"
Target the Card layer (click on the circle)
Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Move Horizontal: 4 inches
Move Vertical: 0
Copies: 1
Reference Point: any
Reflect: Both Off
OK. A copy of the card with its crop marks appears 1/2 inch to right of original.
Effect > Distort & Transform > Transform
Move Horizontal: 0
Move Vertical: -2.5 inches
Copies: 3
Reference Point: any
Reflect: Both Off
OK. 3 new rows of cards and crops appear below the first row
You now have crop marks for 8-up business cards; the original crop symbol and card rectangle are selected.
Go to the Graphic Styles panel and make this a new graphic style; name it BC 8-Up. Delete all the unused Graphic Styles, and Save Graphic Style Library as "BC 8-UP"
USING THE ELEMENTS
New document. Drag out an instance of the BC symbol, and put it in the upper left corner of your letter-size page.
Click the BC 8-Up Graphic Style. Eight blank business cards are laid out.
New layer. Over the top left business card create or place any combination of type or art you want repeated on all the cards.
Target the layer and click the BC 8-Up Graphic Style. The artwork appears in place on all the cards. Any editing you do in the top left card is instantly reflected in the others. Also, because the style is applied to the layer, anything you put on this layer will have the style applied to it.
New layer. Over the top left business card place any type you want to be different on each card. With it selected as an object, click the BC 8-Up style - the type appears on all the cards.
Object > Expand Appearance. The type on each card is now individually editable.

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.
