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.

    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

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Where is the slice tool located in photoshop cs6?

    I've looked under crop.

    It's under the Crop tool group which is between between the Magic Wand and Eyedropper tools.

  • Where is the "crop page" pop-up menu in Acrobat X tools?

    Clicking on Tools > Pages > Crop only shows me manual rectangle crop selection. There is no pop-up menu showing me options such as "removed white margins" etc. as we were used to in Acrobat 9. How does one enable this pop-up menu?

    If you make a rectangle with the crop tool, then double-click there is an check-box to remove white margins, similar to what was in version 9.

  • Why did you omit the perspective check box in the crop tool?

    I used the perspective frequently because I have sciolosis & most of my photos are askew. that easy checkbox was very convenient.

    Perspective Cropping is now its own tool, right under the Crop Tool in the Tools Bar.

    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

  • 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.

  • How come I cannot freeform the crop tool anymore?

    I typically do not maintain a fixed aspect ratio for the cropping tool in Lightroom (2014).  But I needed to change it to a fixed ratio temporarily to crop to some print sizes.  But now, the "Custom" aspect no longer works.  Every time I try to crop anything, it reverts back to "Original" and I cannot change it.  After selecting custom, as soon as I start to drag an edge or corner to crop, the aspect reverts back to "original".
    How do I fix this?

    If the custom numbers you type in give you the mathematically identical aspect ratio to the original aspect ratio of the photo, then Lightroom will change your custom back to "original". As I recall, sometimes if the numbers are really really close to the original aspect ratio, this will happen. No, I can't quantify what "really really close" means.
    Can you give an example where this happens to you? What is the custom aspect ratio your are typing in? What is the original aspect ratio of your photo?

  • I have been using Photoshop Elements 8 for years. All of a sudden, the cropping tool changed: I cannot crop vertically or horizontally anymore--only diagonally. This has made it impossible for me to get the photo I want. I hope someone knows how to fix th

    I have been using Elements 8 ever since it came out, and all of a sudden the cropping tool has changed: I can no longer crop horizontally or vertically, only diagonally. The up/down/side arrows have disappeared! Please help if you can, I'm no longer able to make my photos look their best. Thank you in advance.

    Quit the editor (Quit PSE on a mac). Then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift). Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Why is the brush tool in Illustrator CC inferior to the brush tool in CS6? It has less control of fidelity and smoothness. It is terrible - and I'm an illustrator. Can I use the CS6 brush engin in CC?

    I loved the brush tool in CS6 Illustrator- by turning fidelity to the lowest setting, and smoothness down to zero, pumping up pressure sensitivity, it accurately reproduced the fine shapes of a drawn stroke. I'm an illustrator, so I don't want artificially smoothed curves, I want the line I drew.
    This works really well with my Wacom Cintiq tablet... but now CC has removed this level of customisation for the brush tool. WHY? The program is called Illustrator, and as an illustrator, I can tell you having an accurate and finely adjustable brush engine to illustrate with is very important to me and to lots of other people who can draw, and draw for a living.
    Now you get this dumbed down control panel when you double click on the brush tool icon- just one slider, with only 4 steps from 'accurate' (not very) to 'smooth' (almost indistiguishable from 'accurate')... it is like I have contracted a nerve disease - I draw a line, and it forms into something quite different to the path my pen took. WHY? Can I get rid of this rubbish engine? Trying the blob brush - what is the point of this brush? It is just like the old brush, except for a cursor that shows the largest size for pressure sensitivity... and it has the same crude 4 step smooth/accurate adjuster, that doesn't change the line much at all. I have the latest driver in my Cintiq, so I don't think that is the issue, and CS6 works better than CC.
    I am very disappointed, Adobe. Do I have to go back to CS6 for all my Illustration work? Please improve the CC brush tool controls.
    I am still reeling from Adobe's quiet removal of a whole tool: Inverse Kinematics/Bone tool from Flash CC JUST when I was finally using it to animate, but that's another story.
    Honestly, having use them for a while, Photoshop,
    Illlustrator, InDesign and Flash CC are, as far as I can tell, no step up at all from CS6, except that you have to pay for them forever.

    More on this, now becoming known as the CC pencil tool fiasco, on these fora:
    Re: PLEASE PLEASE adobe. The new pencil tool has become unusuble to me
    Re: Changing line fidelity with CS6 Brush Tool
    Re: All pressure sensitive brush presets gone!
    If you are affected by the lower accuracy controls for CC's brush or pencil tools, use this Bug report/Feature request form to let the folks at Adobe know- they are actually hopefully going to fix this.......
    thanks to Daniel for setting this up:
    hey all, if you are going to file a bug report (as per Neeraj's suggestion), i've made up a draft to make the process easier.  feel free to adjust it as much as you want, obviously; trying to equip us busy folk.
    Obviously customer service & product development are two different departments, so if you're bummin out on the new functionality, submit a bug report!

    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    I was told to by Neeraj N(staff) to report this issue based on this link : (http://forums.adobe.com/message/6065706).
    The Pencil / Brush tools have lost essential functionality with the addition of the new accurate / smooth adjustment preset. Users are no longer able to specify high-accuracy pen mapping, as the finest accuracy setting is now set to 2.5px (legacy versions allowed accuracy to .5px).
    I would think adding additional slider nodes to allow more accurate mapping (while still using the accurate / smooth preset) allow for a minimal change in programming with a maximum return for power users.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. open illustrator
    2. use either pencil or brush tool.
    3. draw erratic and high detail shapes
    Results: shapes are smoothed to 2.5px smoothness, even when the accurate / smooth adjustment preset is set to full accuracy.
    Expected results: shapes have minimal / no smoothing to maintain the integrity of the artwork.
    Thank you for your consideration.
