Probelm with crop tool

Suddenly when I try to crop, the crop area is properly defined but when I click "crop" the image is grayed out and in the lower right hand corner it tells me that the image size is 3/0 bytes. this happens to nay image since the first time it happened. Any ideas?
Oh! it's PS cs5.1

Damn you are GOOD! 
Thanks you that was it. Don;t have a clue how it got there. I never use that field.  Fat fingers no doubt.
Thanks again.

  • Trouble with crop tool

    i think i may have hit a key or combination of keys that did something in pse. Now when i try to use the crop tool, and click the green check mark... my project that I am working on just turns in to a grey box in my project bin and disapears from the work area!! ugh! what did i do wrong?!

    In the crop tool's option bar, top left, there is a tiny arrow. Click on that and reset the tool.
    Report back with your progress.

  • PS CS6 issue with crop tool: graphic glitches

    I am using Photoshop CS6 v13.1.2 and I'm experiencing an issue with the crop tool. Whenever I use the crop tool, move the frame around and then zoom in on the image, the image becomes noisy, pixelated or has other 'graphic glitches'. I changed the PS preferences to not use the GPU and then rebooted the computer. Still the same issue without the GPU.
    Running on Mac OS 10.8.3, iMac 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6970M.
    Is there another workaround to use this tool until it might get fixed? Thank you.

    I've seen the same issue from time to time on windows 13.01.1 usually only on rather large pixel dimension documents.
    Does it make a difference if you flatten the image before using the crop tool?
    Also, using the classic mode for the crop tool doesn't seem to have that glitch.

  • Lightroom 5.7, beachball of death with crop tool

    With latest CC LightRoom 5.7.1 and latest Mac OS on Retina iMac, every time I use the crop tool and try to view different possibilities there is a very long delay. Any suggestions please?

    The "open with" command is used to open images that are already in Lightroom in another external editor such as Photoshop or Photoshop Elements or some other photo editing program. And you are opening an image that you are already seeing in Lightroom. So Lightroom won't be on the list and cannot be on the list because you are already looking at the images in Lightroom.
    Concerning the images that you moved to the external hard drive, if you actually moved them using Lightroom then you should be able to see that external hard drive in the library module library tree and be able to choose that folder. Then the images will be in Lightroom and you can continue working on them. There doesn't need to be any "open with" to do that. If you moved those images some other way, please explain.

  • 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)

  • Rotating with crop tool unpredictable (CS3)

    Hi there
    I'm cropping images using the crop tool, but when I rotate the crop area and then apply the crop the result is not what I expect – it rotates only fractionally and sometimes distorts the image as well. I am resampling as I do this (ie. I have set a width, height and resolution for the crop). If I clear this there are no problems.
    Any idea why this might be the case?

    Hi Pierre,
    Adobe fixed it partially in CS4; crop+rotate+downsample worked on a flat background layer, but still showed the unexpected results on any pixel layers. A very observant and dedicated CS5 pre-release tester (ahem... and handsome too, I might add) caught it in CS5 beta and all works well now.  I think that had been around... jeeze, since  PS6?

  • 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.

  • Probelm with slow tools in Raw files in Photoshop CS^

    I am running Photoshop CS6 on an iMac with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core 15 Processor, 32 GB of Memory. I have suddenly noticed an incredibler slowdown in processing when I am working with any of the adjustment tools on RAW files. There can be up to a 20 second lag time. This seems to coincide with the downloard of the newest ViewNX 2 version although I cannot be certain. Any help woul be greately appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Crop tool, image is hidden by grey box!

    I am having a problem with crop tool, image is hidden by grey box.  Using LR4 on Win7. 
    I have cropped successfully many times before, but a couple days ago, I suddenly had this strange problem.
    I assume I must have accidentally changed some setting by an accidental keystroke or something else? 
    I have tried opening and closing Lightroom several times.  I have the same problem on all images I try to crop.
    I cannot figure out why. Please advise!  thanks!!!

    If you leave the resolution box blank, whether the crop tool resamples or not then depends on the size units you choose in the width and height boxes. If pixel units are entered, the original resolution is preserved and resampling must occur to effect that. If inches are used, resampling does NOT occur.

  • Crop Tool will only crop in a square

    No able to drag side of selected area with crop tool. Can only drag the corners.

    Chris, I get a wide rectangle with the crop icon, "Width" "Height" "Resolution ____ pixels/inch" [Front Image], and [Clear]   Somewhere I must have flipped some swithch, because it not allows me to control my cropping aspect ratio; however, I have no idea what I did !!
    I did have the options window displaying. It was in my left (of three) monitors, and I moved it back to the center monitor, but I assume that had nothing to do with my problem.
    Anyway, thanks ... its working!

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • How can I trap Out- of-Memory data with no crash after Crop Tool fails to finish?

    The Photoshop 6 beta program froze while using the crop tool on an image size of 8052x5368. I tried to save a file in another program while waiting for the crop to finish (usually about 1 second) and got an out-of-memory error. I checked the D: driv where the file in the other program was saved. I have a flash C: drive and is not selected in the scratch disk preference. Two scratch disks, E: and G:, are selected with a total of about 800GB free space. After closing PS6Beta, the D: drive recovered about 164GB. The D: drive is not selected in the Scratch Disk list. I work with larger files and anticipate this problem again.How can I trap information for Adobe next time?
    Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120305.m.415 2012/03/05:21:00:00) x32

    Version: 6.1 Service Pack 1

    Memory available to Photoshop: 3255 MB
    Memory used by Photoshop: 60 %
    Image tile size: 128K

    The problem remains for how the c: and d: drives were not selected in the scratch disk list. I tried again with only E: and G: drives and the file completed after 20 minutes with a 27.7G file. It would have been an ovious problem if the "info" diaglog box included the projected file size and/or dimensional units (px or in) because I use the dialog for verifying the size of the image. I wanted to make a 300 x400px image rather than a 300x400inch image( 90000x120000px).
    Thanks for your quick help.

  • Scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open

    I would like to know if there is a way to scroll down with the mouse while the crop tool window is open, like in Acrobat 5.0. If not with the mouse, is there another shortcut to go through the pages and adjust the size of the crop and see it on different pages? Thanks!

    Yes, but I won't see what I'm cropping if I cannot scroll down while the window is open. Thank you for answering anyway!

  • Problem With the Marquee and Crop Tools

    I have just upgraded to Photoshop CS5.
    Whenever I drag out a rectangular marquee, elliptical marquee, or crop lines, while in the process of dragging, it draws the selection ("marching ants") from the center-out. It's as though I am holding down the option key, even when I am not. It's particularly annoying.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is this some kind of glitch? Is there anything I can do to fix this?

    You know, the more I use it, the more I realize that it's all sorts of things beyond the Marquee and Crop tools. It's "glitching" all over the place, and, you're right: it is doing things as though modifier keys like shift or option are being held down, even thought they're not.
    As for the OS version: I haven't noticed anything weird happening yet on my work computer, which is still 10.6.4.  The one that has the problem is my laptop, which is new, and it started out with CS5 on 10.6.5. So it seems consistent with the theory that 10.6.5 is part of the problem.
    I logged out and then back in, as per some suggestions I derived from past threads, and that seems to have fixed it. At least for now. Folks are saying, though, that it is only temporary until the issue returns.
