Straightening crooked images with Ruler Tool vs. Crop Tool

In CS5, is there any advantage to using the new Ruler tool to straighten a crooked image VS. doing it the old way with the crop tool?
Thanks.

It's not exactly new, it's just that before CS5 you had to draw a line with the Ruler tool and then go to Image->Image Rotation->Arbitrary and OK whatever is in that dialog which isn't exactly easy to discover. All that button does is run an action that invokes the Arbitrary command followed by a crop. The advantage of doing it with the Ruler tool is that it's easier, you just draw with the Ruler tool over the horizon or whatever you want to straighten and then click on Straighten (or do it like in CS4 and before through the Arbitrary command)

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?

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.

Image rotates when using the crop tool

New to Aperture my question is when I use the crop tool the image appears to rotate in one direction or the other. Then of course in limited to the size i can drag out the crop window by the edges of the photo itself. Any ideas

If you use the straighten tool first and then select the crop tool, Aperture will show the entire image including the parts that were cropped off during the straighten operation. Other than that, can't think of what you are seeing.

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.

CS4 Control of Selection tool and Cropping tool errors in Windows 7

The cropping tool and some selection tools seem to work poorly in my Windows 7 machine. How about yours?

They work fine here too. Possibly resetting the prefferences would cure the problem. I'd give it a try especially if the tools had worked then stopped.

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 ... ).

When i cropped a picture using the crop tool to 9x6" when it was printed everyone was stretched looking tall and thiner how can i crop pictures but keep the people looking as they do in real life?

oops put the while question in the wrong place!!! but I'm at a loss on how to do this every picture I took everyone looks stretched when I use the crop tool any help would be much appreciated,
I have PS6
thank you

I have been trying so hard to try and get my head round this since your last comment so what I think I know is with my Nikon d80 having 3:2 aspect ratio pictures that I wanted printed can only be the sizes you mentioned above which is fine as the pictures I got printed were 9x6" but it's from now I'm still bit lost when I use the crop tool and pre set the size to 9x6" with a resolution of 240 and crop out all the bits I don't want it comes back from printers stretched so i'm still lost as I don't know the point where I'm doing something that causes the stretching? thank you for your patience
Lets separate this into topics Aspect Ratio, resolution and size ... etc
Aspect Ratio is just the ratio of an image's two sides. Your camera captures an image with a 3:2 Aspect Ratio. If you want to print the whole image your camera captures it can be printed and image size that has sides the have a 3:2 ratio without distorting the image.
Images are re-sized two ways:
One way is to keep the pixels your camera captures and print them at different resolutions. Resolution is nothing more then pixel size. Pixels have no size till there is a resolution set. Pixels themselves may have a aspect ratio themselves. These days most devices use square pixel. Some video standards use non square pixels. So if you have square pixels and an image with 1800px by 1200px and set the resolution to 300DPI the print size will be 6" by 4" if you set the to 200DPI the print size will be 9" by 6". Its simple math. 300DPI means pixels are 1/300"x1/300" there are 90,000px/inch 200DPI 1/200"x1/200" 40,000px/inch 100DPI 1/100"x1/100" 10,000. Note how quickly the pixel count climes as resolution increase doubling an image resolution requires four times as many pixels not two timas as many.
The other way is to create a new image using the pixels you camera captures. Your Camera pixels are resampled(interpolated) into a totally new image not a single camera captured pixel remains intact the new image has a different numbers of pixels it a different image. There are different interpolation methods some work better then others depending on image content and the direction of the re-size. Any time you resample an image you loose some image quality. The pixels are generated they are not captured using optics and a sensor.
Normally I do not resample when printing I just set the DPI so the image prints the size I want. In the Image size Dialog I un-check resample and the set the print width or height I want to print. Photoshop will calculate the DPI and set the other side size. If you crop without setting a DPI resolution in the crop tool the crop tool will not resample the crop to a particular DPI it should just set the appropriate DPI.
I resample image for the web Cameras capture more pixels then can be display by displays. So in the image size dialog I check resample and constrain the width and height to the image current aspect ratio then I set the number of pixels I want the width or height to be. Photoshop will calculate the number of pixels the other side will be. The DPI is meaningless for web images for Web images are displayed on screens at the resolution a displays has. Your images will display large on a large Low DPI resolution HDTV screen and small on a high resolution cell phone display.
If you want to print you image a size that does not have a 3:2 aspect ratio without distortion you need to crop you image to the aspect ratio you want to print at. You need to discard part of your image. The Crop Tool does not distort it discards part of you image. It may or may not resample the crop selected. I do not use the crop tool but if I did I would not use it to resample the crop I would not set in a DPI resolution in the crop tool.
Photoshop can also resize an image from one aspect ratio to and other aspect ratio a non constrained resize. The resulting image will be distorted. However Photoshop does have have a content aware re-size that tries to maintain recognizable objects perspective during the distortion process. This process can also be aided by user masking.
Cropping:
A 3:2 aspect ratio image can in theory be cropped to an infinite number of smaller images that have any aspect ratios including an infinite number of images that have a 3:2 aspect ratio. All crops can be resampled to a particular DPI resolution. However digital pixels can not be sliced up so there are a finite numbers of crops you can hack form a digital image

Photoshop CS6 cropping tools is not good

Hi!
Everyone who is using Adobe Photoshop CS6 product, the cropping tool is not good as when I try to crop the image moves but not the cropping tool which makes confusing and time consuming.
When I have to print an emergency photo I have to do it within 5 minutes but that cropping tool always makes me confused. Thats why I didn't like photoshop CS6. Currently I am using CS5 product. The next crop tool works better but when I try to move it, image will go misleading.
My question is how you are managing it???
Thnx

If you ask nicely, the development engineers might provide a single button that toggles back to 'Luddite' mode. I am not being smug, because I had a wee hissy fit when I first encountered the new Crop tool in the CS6 beta, but I versy soon changed my mind and love it to bits now. Give them a proper try out and see if you can get used to the new tools.

When using the crop tool the whole picture disapears!

When using the crop tool the whole picture disapears????
the screen is blank everything is gone!

1. Open the image file
2. Select Crop Tool
3. Click once in the picture to activate the crop tool (without dragging) <-- Once in awhile, I accidentally click and drag to activate, and the whole image turns gray, and I must hit undo.
4. Adjust crop edges

Image desappears when i use pen tool

When i use pen tool, and crop tool,the image dessapears, i don´t know why this is happening. Please help.

Windows 8? Well known Windows bug that hasn't been fixed yet.
Go update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website, or set the Photoshop GPU mode to Basic.

Why did Adobe UI Designers ruin the PS 6 crop tool?

I've been paying for every upgade for PhotoShop since version 2,5 on a Mac SE 30. Now the most essential tool, the crop tool, is totally broken. Is anyone at Adobe today still a photographer or designer? How do I make you see the error of your ways? Please contact me.

Hi Steve,
The video card is ATI Radeon HD 4870 with two monitors. See About This Mac details below. No, I do not see the corruption in Photoshop. Nor does it show up at actual pixels.

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.

Weird Crop tool behaviour with 16-bit files

Shadow areas of my 16-bit files show strange patterns if I use the Crop tool to rotate. I can also replicate the problem by doing the following:
Make a new empty 16-bit file in PS6 in RGB mode (File>New). Fill it with 100% black. Use the Crop tool and rotate to taste. Press Enter to accept the crop and zoom in to enjoy the black and grey noise patterning reminiscent of a man's suit. The Straighten tool will achieve the same result. Your suit pattern will vary according to the degree of rotation.
The problem goes away if you subsequently convert the file to 8-bit, or convert to any other mode (Greyscale, Lab, CMYK).
This patterning is easily visible at 100% view or less, and appears whether the View>Show>Pixel Grid option is on or off. It is decidedly NOT the pixel grid I am seeing.
This effect can be created with files from both my Canon and Hasselblad cameras.
I'm using a Mac Pro with OS10.6.8.

Images with [u]Preview[/u] and the Scroll Tool

Preview has been my favorite application for openning images and PDFs on the fly becuase of its quick launch time, simple interface, and key-command functionality. However, when viewing image files, some of its functions are not available. Only the select (cropping) tool isn't greyed out. I would very much like to be able to use the scroll (pan) tool as it is how I'm using to seeing large scale documents and plans.
Does anyone know how to make this happen?

Hi Dan,
Yes my 'Scroll Tool' under Tools is greyed out too. I checked in Preview Help and came up with this:
Mac OS X 10.4: Scrolling around an image in Preview
In Mac OS X 10.4, you can scroll around an image in Preview easily in several different ways (scrolling is only possible when the image doesn't completely fit inside the Preview window):
Hold down the space bar and your mouse button at the same time, then scroll at will.
If you have an Apple Mighty Mouse or a third-party mouse with a scroll wheel, you can use the mouse's wheel to scroll around. To scroll horizontally with a third-party mouse, hold the Shift key while scrolling.
Use your keyboard's arrow keys. (On my iBook I had to hold the alt/option key for this to work, then it only did so slowly)
Drag the scroll bar on the bottom or side of the Preview window.
On some PowerBooks, you can use the trackpad for scrolling.
Hope this helps.

How do I crop an image with a Clipping Mask using a circle instead of a rectangle?

I watched Adobe TV Illustrator's tutorial about cropping images with a clipping mask. In the video, the presenter uses the rectangle tool with the clipping mask, and makes a reference that the circle or vector shape could be used, but I cannot figure out how to get the circle.
http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-illustrator-cs6/cropping-images-with-clipping-masks/
I'm new to Illustrator and need step by step instructions!
Thanks!

Christine,
As Larry said, and as I said in the first post:
For a Clipping Mask, you just create a path, in this case a circle, and place it on top of the image, then select both and Object>Clipping Mask>Make.
You can see the shortcut when you use the dropdown; it is Ctrl+7 for Windows.
At least in the old days, you could also use Alt/Option+O+M+M (easy to remember, Object>Mask>Make).
It is easy to skip/overlook the exact steps.
