Setting DPI with the crop tool in CS6

What happened to being able to set the DPI on the top tool bar when you manually change the crop demensions?

Mike, I just finished using the "Contact Sheet" and it's been changed to the worse also.  Gone is the total number of photo's in a folder and a readout of the individual image size.  For some reason it also seemed much slower.  The folder that I selected had about 200 images which is rather typical for what I do.  The one thing that it got correct was at the end it had actually flattened the image.

  • 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?

  • Camera RAW start with the crop tool automatically selected?

    Is it possible to enable camera RAW to start with the crop tool automatically selected?

    As far aas I know you can't.
    But you could ask in the Camera Raw forum – they know these things!

  • Enlarging photos after rotating with the crop tool

    Hi,
    I will try a second attempt for my wish to add a feature to the crop tool:
    I like the cropping tool in lightroom, but there is one feature I miss:
    Sometimes I have this situation:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellersiek/2633499034
    Knowing, that in most situations the limiting cropping is ok, I wish to have an option to enlarge the resulting image like this way:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/ellersiek/2632678737
    It is okay, if there is an option in the preferences with the ablility to select a color for the "new" pixels and the crop tool will only enlarge the picture while pressing the control key (to avoid undesirable results).
    You can say: "take the right picture, move your camera", but in such photo sessions we have some good reasons to take the pictures in this way.

    Of cause, after enlarging by Lightroom, I have to do something with the new area/pixels by hand. By the way, I only wish new pixels in a, in the settings definable, color - no "intelligent" enlarging.
    In the session of the shown example we took 50 product pictures. In 45 pictures are the products inside enough for the cropping tool. We need a fix rotate angle for all the picture so we use sync settings to transfer all settings (white balancing, color, light, rotate, crop). 5 pictures we cropped to much, so we have to rotate in later in photoshop - this breaked the workflow.
    I like Lightroom very much, because it is much faster than Photoshop, non destruktive and it is easy and fast to repeate the processing if you need to change some parameters. So I which to do the most steps in Lightroom and only those steps, for which lightroom is not designed, I will done with Photoshop.
    I miss the enlarging also in other situations (like architectual or landscape photos). Sure I have to do some steps later by hand but I was able to the most steps in Lighroom in a single workflow with a single setting.

  • Where is the Crop tool in CS6?

    I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option.  Where is the Crop tool?  I tried to use instructions at Photoshop Help | Adjusting crop, rotation, and canvas but that did not help.  It never did tell you how to crop an image.

    I used to use the Rectangular Marquee to crop an image, but that is no longer an option.
    Why?
    Make the Selection, then use Image > Crop if you want to use that Tool.
    The Crop Tool still has the single-key-shorcut C, so depending on your settings hitting C or shift-C repeatedly should select the Tools with which the Crop Tool shares a space in the Toolbox in turn.

  • I cannot locate the CROP TOOL on CS6 Photoshop

    Some tools are hidden by other tools in groups
    You can left click and hold on the tools that have a little triangle to see the hidden tools
    For the Crop Tool you can press C and then hold Shift and press the C key repeatedly to get to the Crop Tool

  • The whole menu with the crop tool disappeared- How do I get it back?

    I'm trying to crop images for a portfolio, but when I "open with PS6" from a card reader, I have no toolbars and I can't do anything with the images.  I did it a few minutes ago.  How do I get the tool bars back so I can crop and save images for web and printing?

    Either press the Tab key or F key.

  • Setting the Crop Tool Dimensions Automatically in the Middle of a Script

    Is there a way to set the crop tool to an 8"x10" dimension in the middle of a script? I have a script where it prompts the user to set the crop tool manually to 8"x10" and then crop the image manually, and continues thereafter, and in another part of the script, a message alerts the user to set the crop dimension to 7"x5". I am not sure if this is possible. I tried to load a preset but it does not work the next time Photoshop is opened.
    Waiting for any hint..thanks.

    Yes but not so much with the crop tool.  Your better off with a selection then image crop http://forums.adobe.com/message/4476999#4476999
    Once you set the selection you can also make the action interactive by adding a interactive transform selection step the you turn on its dialog. While recording the action you rotate the transform 180 degree which actuallu doe not change the selection. However it let the user to just hit enter to accept the selection.  If you fail to rotate the selection when you record the action. Just hitting enter would cancel the transform selection and the action would stop at the transform selection step.  You can also cancel the transform to stop the action because you made a manual error not holding the shift key to maintaim the selection 4:5(8:10) aspect ratio and you moved a cornor or side.  Once you cancel the transform selection you can click play the action will start pyaying from the transfor selection and you can retry transforming the 4:5 selection correctly.

  • Why when using the crop tool in Photoshop CS6 does it suddenly change the layer and file format?

    I really need help with this. If I open a jpg in PS6 and crop it, the file transforms from a locked background layer to Layer 0 which is not locked. Then if I want to Save as a jpg I must flatten the layers as it is now a PSD file. SO frustrated! Anyone know what's going on?

    Enable the Delete Cropped Pixels in the crop tool options up top—this is the phrasing in my PS-CC.  I assume PS-CS6 has a similar crop tool option.
    If you don’t delete the cropped pixels, they are just hidden, then a layer needs to be created to hold the hidden pixels.

  • In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). I can't figure out how to disable.

    In Adobe Flash CS6, I have a blue box appearing around lines drawn with the line tool (and other tools like brush etc). Whenever I try to use a tool,  a blue box appears around the line and I have to double click it to manipulate it, which opens just that line in a semi burred screen where all the other objects are semi-grey in the background. I can manipulate this line in this screen but nothing else at that time which I could do about 5 minutes ago. For exampe, I no longer can join up 2 lines drawn by the line tool together. For some reason this started randomly (probably due to a accidental shortcut combination) and I just can't put it back to what it used to be. I have inserted a video hopefully showing what I mean. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you - Just what I needed

  • 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!

  • Why is Photoshop CS6 extremely slow with the brush tool using Wacom pen?

    Could my wacom tablet be the issue?  The psd processor spins not stop until I pick up the wacom mouse and click on an adjacent layer then back to the layer I was working on.  Then the wacom pen  work with the brush tool.  This seems to happen when every time I  pick up the pen and go back to the brush  tool.

    First, sorry it took so long to reply.  Have been a bit swamped.  What I mean by the psd processor, is the balls that rotate kind of like the SBDO when the app is executing a paint stroke.  So I tried your suggestion, mad a new file 7w x 5d at 72pi, set the brush to 25px at 100% hardness and made a stroke with the wacom pen.  It worked fine.  The issue is working in large files say around letter size at 300dpi or large format graphics for trade shows at 150dpi.  These files can range anywhere from 6ft x 8ft high  to 16ft w x 10 ft h for an example.  So painting in a channel mask or retouching using the brush tool in airbrush mode is painfully slow.  I've found that while this little psd icon is spinning, if I take the wacom mouse, click on an adjacent layer then go back to the layer I was working on and resume with the airbrush, the problem subsides.  It seems this spinning thing happens when I initially start using the brush on a layer or layer mask.  Do you get what I'm trying to explain?

  • How Do I make curved lines with the pen tool in after effects CS6

    Hello, so I have been following this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKzB-CFT0MI on how to make 2d intros in after effects and at the 2:20 mark he shows how he uses the pen tool to make curved lines around the elipse. I tried to do the samething myself, and couldent make the curved lines. I looked it up online and there were tutorials on how to make curved lines but they did not work the same way, and I could not make curves like he did.So if any of you know how to do curved lines like in the video, your help will be appreciated.
    Thanks !

    This is basic stuff and it's basically the same way Illustrator or Photoshop works with bezier paths. You'll find a lot of helpful information if you just type masking or mask in the Search After Effects Help field at the top right corner of the app.
    Adobe - Search: masking
    Directly from the Help Files: After Effects Help | Creating shapes and masks
    Mylenium.. sorry you thought it was an awful tutorial. I made it in under a minute just to show this member the very basic task of creating a mask with the pen tool and animating the shape. I'll try and up the quality of my quick replies to simple operations.
