Photoshop CC imprecise cropping on Windows 7

Hello,
I have been trying to precisely (with pixel accuracy) crop some images in Photoshop CC in Windows 7. The "new" crop tool, regardless how zoomed in I am, jumps in increments of about 2 or 3 pixels. I have used Photoshop for decades on a Mac, and the crop process there allows you to drag the crop edges/handles smoothly, with no jumping at all. Is this a Windows issue? Or maybe a Wacom issue? I've used the exact same tablet/mouse on a Mac for years with no problems.
If I set the crop option to 'use classic mode', the problem isn't quite as bad, but it's still not as good as on a Mac.
I am using a Wacom mouse on a Wacom tablet. The issue does not seem to be quite as bad if I use the Wacom pen.
I've got all the hardware acceleration options turned on (I have an Nvidia Quadro 4000 graphics card).
Anyone else come across this problem? Or is it just me?
Thanks,
Paul

I have always been able to crop (or do anything else) to the individual pixel with a regular old optical mouse on my PC workstations, so it's certainly not a PC limitation.
Might there be a tablet resolution setting that needs to be tweaked?  Those things are supposed to be able to work down to some ten thousandths of an inch as I recall.
I don't have a tablet myself, but Google turns up a lot of "how to" guides on checking/setting the many parameters that matter.  For example, one of the top matches:

  • I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in

    I'm using photoshop elements 2.0 and window vista.  when i want to crop i cannot enter any values in the width and height boxes.  the cursor won't enter.  same thing with resolution.  what did i do?  what's wrong?

    The first thing you might try is resetting the Crop Tool by right clicking on the crop icon in the tool options bar and choosing Reset Tool.
    If that doesn't work then the next thing is to reset the photoshop elements 2 settings file by holding down
    the Shift+Ctrl+Alt keys just after clicking or double clicking on the pse 2 shortcut.
    Keep holding the keys until a dialog appears ask if you want to delete the photoshop elements settings file
    and click yes in the dialog.

  • Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse

    Using Photoshop CC 2014 on a Windows Tablet without a keyboard and mouse can be quite a challenge. Even if you use the experimental 2x UI. You can not use your fingers or to quickly change tools and change settings. You have no shortcut without popping up Windows touch keyboard or leave it up taking a great deal of screen space.  If you're using the 2x UI Photoshop uses the screen at half resolution so it displays 1/4 the amount of pixels it could.
    Fortunately I found a little touchkey utility on the web the lets you design your own touch keyboards. The can be transparent and you can even paint under them as long as you start the stroke  outside the keyboard area. The keyboards can be toggles on and off so you can actually use Photoshop.  The utility is small and requires not installation can be run form anywhere.  I purchased a Surface Pro 3 a week ago.  Its a full fledge PC.  Through the home group I can access all machines in my house and using network shares I can access all files on my machines and the network drive on my router,  I can print on my Epson 4800 printer. I can show slideshow on my HDTV via   Bluetooth using a Microsoft wireless display adapter.   I can plug in my Wacom Intuos Pro wireless receiver into the USB  3 port and use my Wacom tablet.  Have a very touchy machine.  Touch on the keyboard touch pad touch on the Display display and on the Wacom tablet.  Could have touch on a mouse but I prefer the Microsoft comfort bluetooth mouse that has six buttons and a four way wheel.
    As a tablet its under two pounds.  Its quite impressive cost why mor the an iPad but worth the cost to me for with windows I can get at the file system.   If you have a Surface Pro 3 you should check out  "Touchkey" its handy.

    Do a screen screen capture and post it here so we can see what you stating about a white layout...

    I am so sorry for you and your situation. Were you using iCloud photostream?
    Otherwise I do not see any chance for your precious photos.
    Congrats anyway on the little darling!

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements on my new Windows 8 computer (I recently upgraded my windows 7 computer where Photoshop was working fine on before).  It says the serial number is invalid.  Do older versionsnot work on Windows8, or do I need to uninstall it from my old computer first?

    You are allowed to have two activated installations.  If you happened to have one on this Windows 8 machine before, it is possible that the activation used for it was never deactivated (did you deactivate it before you upgraded Windows?).  Talk to Adobe support thru chat.  They might be able to resolve this with you:

    Well it came installed on my brand new Windows 8 pro w530 I received 4 weeks ago and has never worked. When you try to open power manager it just crashes. If you uninstall it the Lenovo software just keep reinstalling it. If you uninstall the Lenovo PM driver but do not reboot you can then open Power Manager. The minute you reboot the Lenovo software reinstallls the driver. 
    Why would Lenovo install software on a brand new Windows 8 laptop that is broken and useless? Tech support is absolutely no help they transfer you to the software department which wants to charge you to fix a problem that Lenovo created!!! It is crazy!! I was hoping someone here could solve this problem or maybe someone at Lenovo would see this and get the problem resolved. Tech support has been useless. I reported the problem to them at least 5 times.

  • Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1?

    Is Photoshop Elements 11 compatible with Windows 8.1? I got a new computer 2 months ago and have been loading in my photos and pngs slowly and tagging all of them. If I understand correctly, even though I am saving the tagging to the metadata, Elements warns me that it will not save to pngs, which is what most of mine are. As I have added about half now (about 100 hours of tagging) my computer is freezing up and will no longer open my Elements. My computer completely froze and needed tech support for several hours to get anything to work again. The tech support couldn't find any malware to explain this problem and have concluded that the Elements is not compatible with my operating system. I have not been really pleased with this computer from the start and am not totally convinced that Elements is the cause of the initial lock up of my computer. I am willing to purchase a newer version of Elements if that is the problem, but am worried I will get a newer Elements, go through the loading and tagging process and have the same thing happen again, especially if I have to retag everything I just did. I cannot find anywhere that specifically states whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1 (only windows 8). Before I go to a lot of trouble, does anyone know for sure whether Elements 11 is compatible with Windows 8.1? Thanks,Donna

    PSE11 will run as a 32-bit application in W8.1-64, PRE11 will run as a 64-bit application.

    Hi,
    Have you tried downloading Photoshop Elements 13 from here?
    https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/photoshop-elements-10-11-downloads.html
    There is only one file to download - which one depends on your system (32-bit or 64-bit).
    These are the trial versions but will convert to the full version when you supply your serial number.

    I bought a new laptop (Macbook) but the current installation files I have of Photoshop Elements 12 is for Windows, how can I change this? Or do I have to purchase an all new photoshopset? I hope not because that would be really expensive.

    Really? That's extremely unusual. Have you looked at all the discs? In any case you can download the mac version here:

  • Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting

    Photoshop Elements 13 running in Windows 8.1 hangs immediately after starting.  Has to be shut down by Task Manger.  Task Manger shows that it is still using some CPU.  Ran Procmon (part of Sysinternals) which shows that it is in a loop.   Stack trace shows it is executing code in AMTValidateProductLicense.dll.  Started happening about a month after I installed PSE.  Everything used to work fine at first.  Have tried going back to an old image of Win 8.1 on a different hard drive, otherwise same computer, and installed PSE 13 from DVD.  That installation never worked, it aways hangs.  If I do a clean boot, it sometimes runs long enough for me to click on a menu item and then hangs the same way.  And, yes I bought a new DVD to run on this computer, never been used in any other way.  Any ideas how I can get PSE running properly?

    It really doesn't look like a licensing issue, it seems to be code in the area of license validation that isn't working.
    I took your suggestion and initiated a couple of chat sessions with support, but so far still no luck.  The latest session with Neeraj seemed to be promising.  After some investigation he asked to reinstall.  First he uninstalled with Revo Uninstall, which seemed to be pretty thorough.  That required a restart, so he set things up to restore his conference session and took my phone number.  Unfortunately I guess his connection didn't come back.  When I didn't hear from him after a couple of hours I tried installing Photoshop and Premiere myself.  As before, Premiere works and Photoshop doesn't.  When I start Photoshop, the window opens and for a couple of seconds menus open when I click on them.  Then the window freezes and I have to use Task Manager to kill it.  So basically, I've tried several things but I'm back where I've been all along, I can't get Photoshop to work.  I'd really appreciate suggestions about something else to try.
    I wish someone at Adobe was interested in the Process Monitor traces I've made, because I'm sure someone who knows the code would be able to figure out pretty quickly what's happening.  Is it trying to read a file that's not there, failing to write a file, failing to make an internet connection or what?  It really shouldn't be this hard to figure out.

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatability with windows 8?

    Hi, Can I install Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere elements 11 if I have windows 8? i.e. is Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 compatabile with windows 8?

    PSE 11 and Windows 8 and/or Outlook 2013 have several reported bugs.  For example Outlook 2013 and PSE 11 are incompatible because all features (for example Photomail) do not work.  Adobe will not support Outlook for email.  The user community is unsure of whether it is an Outlook or Windows compatibility problem - but it something!

  • Photoshop Elements 4.0 to Windows 7 conversion

    I would like to know if it is posssible to run Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 on Windows 7. It ran on Vista just fine but won't run on my new Windows 7 operating system. If a patch or other method is available, please pass it along.

    You could try to run it in compatibility mode/ XP emulation. Beyond that I don't think youz will have much luck. It's simply too old and even if it would run, the compatibility issues with your system's drivers and security mechanisms will get on your nerves...
