I just cropped my profile photo and the crop tool is now working normally.

  • 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.

    How can I resize an image without losing resolution or using the crop tool? I am using Photoshop Elements 13 on a PC.

    Hi Peru Bob,
    I've tried two images, the results were:
    Image 1
    Jpg, original file size 923KB, dimensions 848px x 279px.
    After resizing to 848px x 180px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 164KB.
    Image 2
    Jpg, original file size 809KB, dimensions 1200px x 1800px.
    After resizing to 668px x 722px with 72dpi, the file size decreased to 307KB.
    So, there seems to be a fair file size loss - is this to be expected?

    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

  • 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

  • PS4 crashes when I use the crop tool

    I have CS4 Design Standard and it is loaded on my IMAC and Powerbook.  When I use PS4 on my imac and use the crop tool, it just hangs up and I have to shutdown and restart.  However, it works perfectly on my powerbook.  Any suggestions?

    First, just press the Clear button in the tool's Options bar.
    You may simply have some values or units in the Options bar fields which are trying to generate a ridiculously large image.

  • Crop tool making image disappear

    After upgrading to new iMac with OSX 10.8, using the crop tool in PSE 6 makes the image disappear. How to fix?

    There must be an option somewhere to "Reset this tool". I haven't used PSE6, so I can't tell you where it is.
    But when you select Crop tool, it must be in a dropdown in the crop options.
    See if Resetting the tool helps.

  • Aperture crashes when using the Crop Tool

    I have tried using Aperture in 32 and 64 bit modes. I have the same problem in both when using the Crop Tool. Immediately after I hit "RETURN" key to finalize the crop I have chosen, the VIEW screen goes blank and the SPINNING BEACH BALL appears. I go to the "Force Quit" dialog and Aperture is highlighted in red--signifying a crash (unresponsive application).
    THIS is happening more frequently.
    Help!!

    I had a similar problem. I solved it with these instructions on my blog.

  • Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

    Every time I try to use the "crop" tool, Aperture crashes. Anyone else have that problem?

    It's an old installation, 2.1.4. I'm running OS 10.9
    That is the problem. Aperture 2 is not fully compatible with MacOS X 10.9; the crop-tool, the Loupe, some brushes no longer work reliably in the newer MacOS X version. And I really doubt, that there will be bug-fixes for Aperture 2 on Mavericks. These incompatibilities started with MacOS X Lion, and have gotten worse with each new operating system release.
    To run Aperture with Mavericks you will need to update to Aperture 3.5. for full compatibility.
    Do you also have older plug-ins installed, that might be incompatible with Mavericks? Check with the developer's website, if there are updates for any plug-ins.

  • 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.

  • Can I reduce motion when using CS6 crop tool?

    I find the new crop tool almost unusable:  nauseating mix of movement of the crop box and the background image.  It's quite literally nauseating for one prone to motion sickness.  I much prefer the previous versions' way, where the image is fixed and the crop box alone moves, and arrow keys nudge the crop box and not the image.  Can I revert it somehow, click a 'reduce motion' someplace in prreferences, or force the image to stay still while only crop outline moves?

    Go to settings (The cog wheel icon, right of view drop down), click "Use Classic Mode"

  • Crop Tool deletes Image?

    The crop tool isnt working. It reduces the image to a gray background and a dot in the center> The whole image disappears.

    Usually that means there are some small values in the width, height or resolution boxes.
    Resetting the crop tool or hitting the clear button usually gets thing back to normal.
