Photoshop cc cropping tool

cropping tool is suddenly missing from photoshop cc

Are the rest of the tools in that group gone as well, i.e. Perspective crop, Slice, etc?

  • Photoshop (cc) crop tool overly sharpens image after crop??

    I have just noticed something really interesting and quite annoying about the photoshop cc crop tool.
    It seems to slightly over sharpen an image after cropping. Does anyone know if there is a way to disable this?
    I did the same crop with the same image in CS4 and looks fine. It's pretty nasty and makes images look very digital.
    Has anyone else noticed this?
    Thanks, Dan

    This might have to do with a change that was made to the default resizing technique in Photoshop between CS4 and now.
    Try this: Open the Preferences dialog box, and in the General panel, change Image Interpolation to "Bicubic (best for smooth gradients)". Then run the same preset.
    If that change makes a Crop tool resize work like it did in CS4, then the reason you saw a change is because in more recent versions of Photoshop the default technique for resampling was changed to "Bicubic Automatic" which tries to pick the right algorithm based on whether you're resampling up or down. It applies to resizing in general (for example, transformations), and you're seeing it because a crop resulted in resampling.
    You can test various settings there to see which one is best for your work.

  • Photoshop CS4 Crop Tool in Option field

    Is there a bug using the crop tool in Photoshop CS4 (11.02) and enter values in the fields in the Option field.
    Enter values for Width, Height and Resolution is OK, but if i go back to change the value in one of the fields, everything in all fields disappears if i press delete standing in on of the fields.
    This must be a bug in CS4.
    Do anyone knowing anything about this?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and make some guesses as to what happened:
    Some time during the development of CS4, someone likely got the idea that the [Clear] button and the Delete key should be the same thing, to save some time for the people who are keyboard oriented and want to quickly clear out all the fields.  And so they redesigned the UI slightly to do that.
    Then people like you, after actually using CS4, complained that they didn't like the Delete clearing all the fields, and Adobe told the engineers then working on CS5 to rethink that design yet again.  But they never considered releasing it as an update for CS4 because it was actually behaving as designed.  This avoided the risk that a change might break something unexpected also.
    Companies are typically very resistant to do application redesign then release the change as an update.  That's just not how the software world works.  Mostly the updates are just for bug fixes, and only the most severe.  The latest example of this is Microsoft Windows 7 Service Pack 1.  You wouldn't know it was any different whatsoever from the pre-SP1 software, even though there were clear design flaws in the user interface.
    And of course they want you to have that all-important incentive to buy the next new version when it comes out.  I'm sure they even responded, "thank you for helping us to make our product better."

  • 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.

  • Photoshop CC Crop tool moves paths

    Yet another issue I've found with Photoshop CC:
    When using the crop tool, it moves paths after confirming the crop. (crop from the left, paths are moved to the right).
    I'm on OSX 10.7, PS 14.0 x64
    See images for further explanation.

    It sounds like you're running into a known bug with Photoshop CC where if you have multiple subpaths on a single layer (or path), only the selected ones will be affected when you crop, resize, or rotate the image.
    The workaround for now is to make sure you select all the paths in the image before you resize, crop, or rotate. The easiest way to do this is to drag over the entire image with the Path Selection tool. (Note that if you have any paths not attached to layers, you'll need to select all of them in the Paths panel before dragging with the selection tool.)
    Let me know if this isn't the same issue you're seeing.

  • Photoshop CS3 Crop Tool Doesn't Work

    Does everyone's crop tool work correctly in PS CS3? Mine doesn't and I wasn't sure if this is a flaw in the software.
    ND

    I just ran into a crop problem, too. I've been using the demo CS3 for about 25 days with no serious problems, on a Macbook Pro. I have a file with 2 layers (background and background copy). I tried to crop the image, with the background copy layer highlighted. When I do, the whole screen goes black (as if I have cropped the whole image into nothingness). The tiny thumbnails on the layers don't show an image, but two squares (2 halves of the thumbnail) of faded colors. I opened a completely different image, and tried cropping that, and I get the same result! I double checked and I am not cropping to any weird size or resolution. This seems like a big bug, if it is a bug!

  • 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"

  • Crop tool and Snow Leopard?

    Have installed Snow Leopard and now the Photoshop CS3 crop tool doesn't do what it should. It used to move the bottom right corner of a dotted rectangle but now it drifts away from the rectangle altogether and I cannot define the area to be cropped. Can anyone please help?

    Hi everybody.  Only minutes later I discovered that I could "reset tool" and, having done that, all is back to normal. Sorry for not realising that earlier.

  • Crop tool won't drag with CC Photoshop 2014

    I have searched everywhere and talked with Adobe support through chat (they ended that abruptly??!), and Twitter and still have not had any resolution to this. I hope someone can help.
    I'm trying to do a simple crop. I've done it a million times with no problems BEFORE CC 2014.
    I select the crop tool and try to drag but it always stops immediately and selects the entire image as the Crop Preview.
    I've tried:
    using "Classic Mode"
    different Ratios/Resolutions
    uninstalling/re-installing
    installing the latest update - but that always fails. - I'll even completely uninstall, then when it goes to re-install it will install the one file (after a million attempts at failing to download it) and then fail on an update that it tries to install. I've tried at least 20 times. AT LEAST!!
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!  Could it be my NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS? (I know that's not the reason for the failed downloads from Adobe servers - that's all on them.)

    I have spent a week trying to get this to work and now it just started working for all images. I have NO idea why.
    Here's what I did:
    1. uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS drivers and reinstalled them
    2. uninstalled CC Photoshop 2014 (2x)
    3. clean install of CC Photoshop 2014 (2x)
    4. installed update (took dozens of tries before this actually downloaded and installed successfully unfortunately)
    5. clicked on the crop tool and tried to drag... nothing happened
    6. waited, waited and waited.. went about my other work and forgot about it and then after about 5 minutes the crop box appeared. I was able to adjust it too.
    No idea but I'm happy now.

  • 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.

  • Cropping Layers with Crop Tool in Photoshop CC 2014?

    I have been trying to find out if the crop tool can be used in Photoshop CC 2014 to crop layers individually rather than the entire file, and I am not finding any answers through any searches. I can't even find a standard Abode How-to for cropping in the CC version. Is the Marquee tool still the only (best) way to crop an individual layer?
    Also, I have been looking at a crop tool tutorial for the CC version that seems a bit opaque to me in the way it's written (Adobe Photoshop CC for Photographers), and it refers to a Crop options fly-out menu, but I can't find any way to access this.

    The Crop tool is not designed for the job you would like done. As you have seen, it crops the entire image.
    Instead, use the Rectangular Marquee tool to frame the area you would like to maintain. (Sample 1)
    Then choose Select > Inverse. It will select the area to be removed.
    Then tap the Delete key. Result is Sample 2)

  • PhotoShop Elements 9 Crop Tool is a total failure!

    I do a fair amount of work that involves a lot of croping, mainly for animation sequencing. The Crop tool Custom Height and Width settings do NOT WORK.
    I usually have a test image of the exact size that I work in. Example: 500 x100 pixels. This converts to 13.23cm x 2.65 cm at 96dpi. When I type these Crop Size requirements into the Crop tool settings box, I get a crop size way outside the size of the image that I want to crop. There is no way to set that size up yourself by using a test image as a template. In fact there is no way to set up custom sizes in the menu at all! I find this to be very upsetting as I have only just purchased this product. This limitation is something that I would expext to find in freeware, but not in a program like PhotoShop Elements 9. I have tried every conceivable way to try to get the Crop Tool to work to a Pre Set size with no success.
    Why is it that a graphics program will not allow you to put in a pixel x pixel measurement? That is pure stupidity on the part of the programmers and very poor work on the part of the testing team. No wonder the program itself crashes from time to time. It just stops running - ppffft! I have a state of the art 64 bit system running Win 7 with plenty of RAM and a High end Graphics Card, so I know that my system is not at fault - it's PhotoShop 9. I cannot believe the primative workspace and the lack of the ability to custom predefine tools. All in all I'm extremely unhappy with PE9.
    If anyone has had this or similar issues and has found a solution please tell me what it is.

    In answer to your remark I will go through the whole process again at a later date and re-post. It does not make any difference to the resultant Crop size whether you input cm or pixels. Here's a point for you though since you mentioned it. Check out the Ruler - does it look like the Crop is anywhere near 500cm x 100cm? Maybe you were so busy trying to find fault that you failed to see the forest for the trees?
    I only find fault where it exists - not where it doesn't. As far as Forums go, I am a member of a few Forums and have not had this sort of problem with answers before where the reply posts tend toward trying to pretend a problem doesn't exist or trying to prove fault with the poster. Hmmm.  Again I wonder how many of these reply's are from people with some affiliation with Adobe?
    I will finish by saying that just for you I will go through the whole pointless exercise again and make sure that the Pixels are indeed input.
    1. Opening File
    2. File Open.
    3. Resetting Crop Tool.
    4. Crop Tool reset and Measurement Boxes clear.
    5.First Measurement Input. PLEASE NOTE 500 Pixels Input!
    6. Second Measurement Input. PLEASE NOTE 100 Pixels Input!
    7. Third Criteria Input. PLEASE NOTE 96dpi Input!
    8. All Input Data correct and ready to Crop to preset Width/Height/Dpi restrictions.
    9. OH DEAR IT DOESN'T WORK! Again it fails to give me a simple 500x100 pixel at 96dpi Crop Box!
    After this reply post you may just get some idea of the frustration I am experiencing. As you can plainly see the Crop Box drawn goes to the very edges of the Image to be Cropped. Can you see the problem now? Maybe I should just go with my friend's suggestions and take a video of the process and post it on YouTube? Then go to my local Consumer Affairs Department! If you can find what I am supposedly doing wrong - please elucidate as I have followed both the prescribed steps in the somewhat Shoddy Online Help and also the suggested remedies posted on the Forum. All to no avail. It just Won't Work!

  • 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?

  • The Newly Redesigned Crop Tool in Photoshop CS6 | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    There are several advantages to the newly redesigned Crop tool in Photoshop CS6. In this video tutorial, Julieanne demonstrates the refined interface, new features, customizable presets, enhanced tools and essential shortcuts that will make cropping easier than ever.

    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?

    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!
