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"

  • 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 ... ).

  • 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.

  • 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

  • Photoshop CS5 Move Tool Not Working?

    Please help. I am using Photoshop CS5 and my Move tool is not working. I just don't know what to do. I am making photobooks with a software plug-in, "Album DS", and for the last couple of months everything worked perfectly. Then, all of sudden, when I load up photos onto an album page, with the Move tool, I no longer get the crop markings around the photos to enlarge, decrease, or even move the photos. I have tried using the Move tool without the software and it still does not work.

    I just figured this out 5 minutes ago, by mistake I might add.  How in the world did you know this? 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.

  • Perspective Selection Tool not working

    I can't figure out why the selection tool won't work.  When active, I can't grab an object to move it and the icon next to the selection arrow is a line with an arrow pointing to the left, like this
    <–|
    Any suggestions?

    That is normal and the correct icon, showing you are on the left plane. Is your item locked or on a locked layer, or in a mask? Watch the appearance paeltte to tell you what type of selection you have.
    Try drawing a new rectangle as a test to see what is working and what is not.
    With the Perspective Selection tool, the active planes in the perspective grid are indicated by the following pointers.
    Left Grid Plane
    Right Grid Plane
    Horizontal Grid Plane
    The keyboard shortcuts 1, 2, 3 switch you between planes

  • Photoshop CC (2015) tools not working

    I updated my CC apps yesterday and today tools in Photoshop are not working.  Clone stamp and healing brush allow you to sample but effects are not applied.  When trying to use the quick selection tool the selection s cleared after a few seconds.

    I'd say things sound desperate enough to try resetting Preferences
    Reset Preferences
    Windows — Hold down Shift Ctrl Alt immediately after starting Photoshop
    Mac — Hold down Shift Cmd Opt immediately after starting Photoshop
    If that fails, we need to know your operating system?
    Do you have a full CC subscription, or by apps do you mean Photoshop, Bridge and Lightroom?
    Another other information that might pertain ?

  • 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?

  • Photoshop CS5 rotate tool not working.

    I've just installed photoshop cs5 on a new matchbook pro, and I cannot use the rotate tool. When I try a window opens saying "Could not complete your request because it only works with OpenGL enabled document windows".

    I already checked that, nothing in the graphics processor box is selectable. I can't think of why I would have this problem... I was using a cs6 trial and the rotate tool worked fine.

  • Photoshop CS6 clone tool not working

    My son banged on my keyboard while I was in the middle of editing a photo using the clone tool. Now the tool is looks as though it's working when I'm sampling an area but when I go to change the designated area it isn't doing anything. And it's got a bright white spot in the circle. Help please!

    The clone tool suddenly stopped working today.  I read all the posts and did everything mentioned.  I went back to CS5 and it works fine. I did notice in PS CC the clone tool sets the brush in TRANSFER to pen pressure.  I can turn that off and lock it, but it will immediately turn it back on when I use the clone tool.  It was working fine one second then stopped.  It is working VERY lightly even though set to 100%. I discovered this by creating a new document with black and white and cloning there. 
    What happened?
    I did have a CC update just before this happened.  I did reset everything, turn everything on and off, turn off the Graphics Processor, turn off every other application, updated the driver for the waccom tablet... all to no avail.
    Any solutions?  I shall have to go back to CS5.  Don't want to.  HELP!

  • Adobe Photoshop CC Text Tool Not Working

    So, this issue just started today.  Whenever I try to type something in, let's say, 60 pt, the text comes out too small to read.  At the highest pt number the text is probably this big at most.  Help?

  • Creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be

    creative cloud photoshop blur tool not work as it should be !
    I go to blur a painting i am doing and it does not blur enough and I am using wacom Intuos 5 med pen tablet.
    and I even set the tablets sensitivty for pressure lower then default and still not getting the blur tool to do its job.
    I even adjusted the brush settings too to be able to blur even more on hard settings, still nothing.
    at least it not bluring enough to see any major changes.
    the only way i can blur anything is by using the fliters blur or the brushes ( mixer brush ) settings to mix colors and do it that way.
    (note) I will not post my systems specs sorry I don't do that and even the tech from adobe said I do not have to. and so I wont !
    just need advise not to share system specs.
    and thats what this forums board is for getting advice and read what others say about the issue at hand.
    it's not to post or share system specs  !!!
    so with that out of the way I need advice only please ?

    Hi,
    It might be your image is too big in terms of pixel dimensions for the blur tool to work well.
    If you zoom to 100% do you see any change when using the blur tool?
    What are the pixel dimensions of the image?
    (Image>Image Size)
    If you try a small image, does the blur tool work?
    What about when you use the mouse instead of your tablet?
    Can you at least tell us what operating system and version of photoshop your using?

  • I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke?

    I have just downloaded Yosemite but I find that Photoshop Elements 11 does not work properly. If I use a tool like a paint brush or spot healer I cannot paint a full stroke does anyone else have this issue or know a solution?

    Many thanks that does work. But it now leads to another question is this simply a trackpad issue and if so will it be fixed? I use Elements every day and was thinking I would have to go back to Mavericks.
