Ruler and straighten tool

I had been using the ruler and straighten tool with out any problems when suddenly the straighten button stopped cropping the image. Anybody have any ideas why it might have stopped cropping or what i can do to rectify it?

Interesting.
That button seems to run something like an Automation Plug-in.  I say this because it actually creates two steps in the History:  Rotate Canvas and Crop.  Do you see both of these steps when it is done (even though it doesn't actually crop)?

  • CS5 Ruler and straighten tool

    I had been working on a large amount of photos using the ruler and straighten tool with no problems. Then, with no reason that I could determine, although the images were still being straightened, they were no longer being cropped. I would very much appreciate it if anyone has a solution for this. I know I can still crop manually with the crop tool but it's so much more time consuming.
    Thanks in advance.

    That's what would happen if you were holding down the Alt key
    when pressing the straighten button, so unless your holding the alt key or the alt key
    is stuck or being stolen by another program, resetting the photoshop cs5
    preferences would seem in order.
    Reset the photoshop preferences by holding down the Alt+Ctrl+Shift keys while starting
    photoshop and release the keys when a dialog appears asking to delete the
    photoshop settings file, click yes.

  • Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool

    In both Lightroom 4 and 5 my program constantly freezes while using the crop and straighten tool with horizontal images. Im running Lightroom on a Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac with 32 GB of memory with OS 10.8.4, this problem has gotten worse and worse to the point where the crop tool is unusable. Please help!

    Alright,
    no replies so far! Anyways, here's some more information which is leading me to the conclusion that the bug causing the effect described above is a combination of Apple's SMB implementation of Mavericks and the way Lightroom is actually using SMB network access:
    I did another trial by connecting a USB hard drive to the USB port of my router (Netgear). The connection is quite slow, but moving one of the folders in question (see my 1st post above) to the shared drive connected to the Router made Lightroom on my Windows machine to see the photos again, when I told Lightroom where to find the moved folder!
    Everything was working as expected, on the Windows machine again! Moving the folder back again to the Mac Mini fileshare was causing Lightroom on the PC to get blind again for the pictures trying to sync or import. However, accessing and modifying a photo was possible again, like it was before the trial. So it's only the sync and import function having a problem!
    I also did some trial in re-building ACLs and access rights on the file server with no luck. So there's got to be a functionality in sync and import of Lightroom which is using a certain SMB feature which is not supported by Apple's SMB implementation!
    Any thoughts or hints?
    Thanks!

  • Outline rules and artboard tool in CS4

    It was pretty easy to figure out the differences between the artboard tool and crop marks, but there is one thing that stumps me.
    When I use the artboard tool to "contain" a illustration for TIFF conversion, there is always a very thin black rule visible surrounding the "contained" area while in Illustrator. While it doesn't show up in the converted file, it's distracting (in Illustrator) and I cannot remove it yet.
    I think I tried the setting in both prefs and the artboard dialogue, and maybe I don't really yet understand it as well as I hoped.
    any help is welcomed,

  • Crop and straighten

    Crop and straighten tool no longer work correctly in PSE 11, windows 7.  Problem surfaced in the last week.  Have done a complete reinstall and problem still exists.  Appers to be an instability error.

    Try Edit> Preferences> General> "Reset Preferences on Next Launch" and restart PSE.

  • 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 ... ).

    Earlier, I wrote:
    What is the ppi value in the document?  Use the Image - Image Size menu to see or set this value.
    I can't believe this conversation has gone on this long.  You keep wanting it to be a bug, but it seems to me the basic problem here is that you haven't accepted the fact that YOU are responsible for getting the image metadata in order before you can use tools like the Ruler to read out in physical units, such as inches or centimeters, accurately.
    Photoshop can only know the size of things in your document if you or your workflow provide it an accurate ppi value!
    What's the original source of the material?  A scanner?  If so, some part of the scanning or image preparation process has left you with an inaccurate ppi value.
    For the documents you're already working with, use Image - Image Size, then UNcheck the Resample Image checkbox and type in the correct ppi value.  Then everything will work.

  • Why does the straighten tool in Elements 11 freeze when I try to use it?

    When I click on the straighten tool and then click on a horizontal line on my photo, as I attempt to draw the line across the photo it freezes after a fraction of an inch and rotates the photo before I've drawn the line along the horizontal feature I'm using and it's always wrong. I had this problem with my downloaded trial version of Elements 11 and it appears on the version I purchased in the store today.

    I was able to replicate this problem and believe it may be a bug, although I did find a "workaround".
    The straighten tool was only drawing for a very short distance and then I would no longer see the straighten line.  Of course, this prevented me from using it properly.  I followed the suggestions in this thread and reset the preferences.   The Straighten tool worked normally until I enabled the ruler under the View settings.  Once, the ruler was enabled the straighten tool started doing the same thing it did before.  I turned off the ruler and it started working normally again without re-opening the program.  I tried the ruler both in the default inches measurement as well as pixels (my personal ruler preference).
    The workaround would be to turn off the ruler while straightening.  However, I hope this is fixed in a patch.  I didn't have this problem with Photoshop Elements 9, the last version of Elements I had prior to upgrading.    For the record, I'm running Windows 7, just installed Photoshop Elements 11 and immediately downloaded the updates, which I believe was just the Adobe Raw 7.3 update.

  • Crop and Straighten Photos in CS6

    I open a 8"x10" jpeg or any other photo then go over to FILE menu and drop down to AUTOMATE then over to CROP and STRAIGHTEN PHOTO,S
    Now what happens is that three other copies appear copy ,copy  2 copy 3 .
    My original is OK at 8"x10" followed by the copy being 5"X7" then copy2 is about 1/2"x2" and copy 3 is about 3/4"x3/4"
    I think this is being caused by interaction with CS5 as the same happens there.
    CS4 is all OK this not being affected.
    Now in CS4 i can crop and straighten but in CS5 and CS6 nothing can be done.
    Kip

    OK, here's the scoop:  the feature in File>automate>crop and straighten is designed for those who scan in several photos with white space between them. It will make it's best attempt at separating each photograph by looking for the white space around them. It will then crop each photo to the edges it determines and make each straight based on the detected edge.
    It is not designed to straighten the image in a photo.  If you run this on a photograph, it is looking really hard for white space and will make its best attempt to separate what it thinks are independent items or photos and save each to a file.
    If you want to straighten an image, go to the ruler tool and draw a line and choose straighten layer to get a rotation only, or go to the crop tool and select straighten, and draw a line that you wish to be the horizontal. This one will crop also.
    I hope that clears up the issue.

  • Straighten tool horizon line

    I am having problems with the horizon line on the crop straighten tool. Sometimes I have one and sometimes not. Is there a setting I need to be aware of? I can't find one and nothing I find on line addresses this problem.

    They've moved it to the Crop tool.  There's a ''level'' button you can click in there, then set the horizon or whatever, then click Straighten and it will automatically rotate and crop, much as the straighten tool did.
    I think they should have just left a button that worked the way it did before in the Ruler Tool options too.  It's not evil to be able to do things multiple ways!
    I was told it may be possible to alter the script that drives that Ruler Tool button, so that maybe it could be made to work the way it did if a key is held down.
    But, after a while you learn to using the Crop Tool to do the rotate and crop, so I guess it's not so terribly bad.  Learning new things keeps us young!

  • The trial version of Adobe photoshop 13 does not have the Crop And Straighten Photos option  under file and automate....... all it has is "Fit Image".......   would really like to have that feature.... is it something they eliminated?

    I am scanning in many old photos and there are several photos on one page.... I read about a feature that was suppose to be available under adobe photo shop elements 13 that would allow multiple cropping under the file, automate, Crop And Straighten Photos....... the only thing that displays on the version 13 that I have is "Fit Image"...... which doesn't help me......    have they removed this tool or do you have to crop and save one image at a time?    Thanks for your help?

  • Why is the 'Straighten' tool so crude?

    Ok, it does what 'it says on the tin', fair enough. But ANY deviation from the original using the straighten tool softens the image drastically. This can be seen by slowly moving the slider back to the 0 position : you will see the image suddenly crisp up again.
    Why is this? iPhoto is very competent at most of what it does, yet Photoshop manages to let you freely rotate an image without losing any of the sharpness. I've given up using the iPhoto 'Straighten' tool, as even boosting the Sharpness slider to 100% doesn't restore the original crispness entirely.

    This is what I got with your image:
    1. Unstraightened
    2. Minimum straighten (0.6º)
    This screenshot was taken immediately after clicking "Done", but before clicking the navigation arrow to save the edit and move to the next image. If you expand both you should see the softening.

  • Camera raw (4.6) crashes when using straighten tool

    Hello,
    Since I upgraded my computer from Windows Vista to Windows 7 I have a problem when using the straighten tool in Camera raw. Sometimes the program works fine, but very often ACR unexpectely crashes. It doesn't matter how many photo's I have opened in ACR, it seems to be randomly. Strange thing is also that I never see a dotted line when using the straighten tool.
    I'm using CS3 with the latest CS3 version of ACR (4.6). I have uninstalled CS3 2 times already, but it doesn't solve the problem.
    I also have a laptop with CS3 and ACR 4.6 running on Vista, and there I have no problems. Also when I had Vista on my desktop it was OK, but now with windows 7 I have this problem.
    Technical info:
    CS3
    ACR 4.6
    Windows 7 32 bit
    AMD Phenom II X4 955 1.6 GHz
    4GB RAM
    I did see a thread with quite the same problem in CS4, and the advice there was upgrading ACR, but since the ACR I'm using is the latest version for CS3, I can't upgrade ACR. I also can't downgrade to i.e. ACR 4.5 since the previous versions of ACR don't support my Nikon D700.
    I hope that anyone of you can help me solve this problem. It's very frustrating when I'm at work and ACR crashes so often.

    I have disabled Desktop composition for Photoshop and Bridge and until
    l now I haven't had the crashes anymore. Also the line is back
    when uing the straighten tool. I hope this is indeed the solution, it looks good until now.

  • Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines

    I realize there is an official Community Guidelines thread, but I feel it should cover more topics than it does.  So here is my attempt to have a thread I can point new users to, if they are unsure how forum etiquette works.
    Before Posting a Question
    Many posts have been made on the forums over the years and many topics have been covered.  You are likely not the first person to attempt something, or having difficulty.  Search the forums first for the question you would like to ask.  NI's forum search works well but feel free to use Google to search the forums.  Try searching with alternate terms, like "System Tray" instead of "Icon Tray".
    Posting a Question
    When posting a question you should first follow the guidelines linked earlier.  In addition to those points I'd like to mention a few more:
    Not everyone on the forums speaks English.  If English is not your native language feel free to post questions in your first language, but be aware that there are several non-English speaking sub-forums.  If you post a non-English question in the English forum, you may or may not get people who speak your language.  Stick to forum for that language to ensure you get the help you need.
    Post in the right sub-forum.  Language is the first sub-forum to consider, but topic is another.  If you are asking a question about LabVIEW exams, it is better to post in the Certification board, rather than the LabVIEW board.  If you posted in the wrong forum ask a moderator to move it to the appropriate section.
    Have a useful title.  The title of your question should never be "labview" for "fpga".  Your title should also not be a paragraph.  It should be a quick summary of the topics your post is going to discuss.
    Do not use caps lock unless you are really yelling.  It would be rude for me to ask a question by yelling and the same goes for the forums.  This goes for the title and the post.
    Do not beg for help using words like URGENT, or LIFE AND DEATH.  This is again rude, we are largely volunteers that like to help, but not when we are being yelled at.
    Use words not letters "NEED hlp Plz R U labview xpert?"  Use full English sentences.  If you have trouble with this please refer back to speaking in your native language, or go back and take English class.
    There is rarely a need to change the font size, color or style from the default settings.  You are wasting your time, and likely making your post harder to read.  Stick with the default font styles.
    Try giving as much information about the conditions of your question.  Things like: What version of LabVIEW are you using? What operating system are you using?  What hardware are you using? and What sensors are you using? are a few common ones.
    If you want to ask the same question on another LabVIEW board like LAVA, feel free to do so.  One thing that helps collaborate efforts is to provide a link in your post back to the other place where the question was asked.  This way someone on the NI forums can see what has already been said on another forum.
    When posting code post the actual code not a screenshot.  You wouldn't take a screenshot of a text file and post it on a text language forum.  Upload the actual VI, or zip several files and upload the zip.  The exception to this rule is when uploading a VI Snippet.  This is an image with the VI embedded in it, so the source is still intact.
    When you don't get the help you want
    If you posted a question and didn't get any response, or didn't understand the responses you got, do not make a new thread on the same topic.  Doing this will fragment the conversation and you will have two groups of people working on the same problem.
    Don't simply BUMP a thread with a new post without more information.  This is a sign that you don't want to put in any effort and are simply nagging others to help you.  If a thread goes dry and you want more help, try getting more information on the subject, or try something and reply to the thread with this new information.  This shows you are willing to work towards your goal, and aren't just looking for others to do your work for you.
    When you get the help you want
    Volunteers put in effort to help you and they want to know they are appreciated.  The forums have several ways to say "Thank You" to those that have helped.  Here are the preferred methods.
    Kudos
    You can thanks a person on the forum by giving them a Kudo.  A user on the forums can Kudo a post by another user once, but multiple users can Kudo the same post which can highlight posts that a collection of users find useful.
    Here is a thread discussion when users choose to give Kudos.
    Marking Solutions
    Any reply to a post can be marked as a solution to the post, if the sub-forum supports marking solutions.  This is helpful because the thread will get a green check mark showing a solution to the question has been found.  Threads can have multiple posts marked as a solution, but it is best to limit the number of posts that are the solution.  Mark the posts that answer the question, not just helpful posts.  A helpful post can be Kudo'd, but doesn't need to be marked as a solution.
    Things Not To Do
    Do not send private messages to a user asking a question.  Forums exist so we can work to solve a problem as a group.  Contacting someone privately causes that to not work.
    Do not post personal information.  This includes Email, or phone contact information.  Spam bots crawl forums like this looking for your information.  This also means don't make your user name an email address.
    Do not have huge signatures.  They waste space on the forum and can clutter the conversation.  Signatures are okay, but large ones are discouraged.
    Do not post homework assignments.  We are not going to do your homework for you.  You are welcome to ask specific questions about things you don't understand.  But don't post your homework and expect someone to do it for you.  You won't learn this way. 
    Do not resurrect old threads that have nothing to do with the new question.  A post from 2002 about how to setup a DAQ task will likely not be related to your question about reading a serial port.  Make a new thread asking your new question.
    Looking For Free Training
    Many times new users of NI hardware or software just don't know where to start.  They will ask a question but without knowing the terms, or the intended purpose, they will not be able to form a proper question.  Here are some free training tools primarily focused on LabVIEW and NI hardware.

    Unofficial Forum Rules and Guidelines - Hooovahh - LabVIEW Overlord
    If 10 out of 10 experts in any field say something is bad, you should probably take their opinion seriously.

    When attaching code:
    Include all subVIs, typedefs, and global variables, etc.
    Remove all passwords from password protected VIs.
    Do NOT include anything from vi.lib or that is part of a standard LabVIEW installation.
    Do NOT include libraries from commercial third party drivers unless you suspect them to be the cause of the problem.
    If it is an entire project, zip everything up. (A "*.lvproj" file does NOT contain anything useful. All code referenced in the project needs to be included).
    If you attach more than one VI, tell us the name of the toplevel VI.
    Set all controls to typical values, then make them default before saving. Do not set indicators to new default values, especially e.g. graphs containing huge amounst of data.
    Ideally, all we should need to do is open and run the VI to see the problem.
    The default data should be typical and not biased in any way. If an input is a matrix, don't make it square or symmetric unless that is guranteed to always be the case.
    Tell us how to demonstrate the bug (e.g. Run A, set control B to X, Indicator C is now Y while I expect it to be be Z instead, etc.). Include these instruction as diagram comment on the toplevel VI.
    If the problems is with reading a file, include a sample file that demonstrates the problem.
    If you run the newest LabVIEW version, you might want to downconvert to a lower version before attaching (file...save for previous...). This way there are more people that can potentially help. (Of course if the suspected bug depends on the version, you should attach the version that demonstrates the bug.)
    If you make claims about speed or benchmarking:
    Tell us what you consider fast or slow. "Seconds" could be fast for one problem while "microseconds" could be considered slow for another.
    Include your benchmarking code.
    Make sure the speed test is sound and not polluted by debugging settings. Keep the front panels of subVIs closed, watch for code running in parallel, and avoid front panel updates.
    Make a distinction between slow code and slugginsh FP responsiveness.
