Photoshop madness

[zauhar]

Photoshop (CS5.1) "suddenly" stopped cropping today. To my knowledge I did not change any settings.

Symptoms - load any tiff file, and attempt to crop - The image is reduced to 1 pixel X 1 pixel, all you see is a dot in the middle of gray background.

This is totally f-cked up and irritating. It is happening with files just generated with Vuescan, and with older files that I know I successfully cropped.

Anyone had this nasty experience?

Thanks!

To err is human. To really mess up, you need a computer.

Sorry, can't help.

... no, me neither .. I gave up updating around cs2 when I lost patience with Adobe

Check the crop settings before clicking on the image, they have probably been mistakenly set up to 1x1 pixel by default. This has happened to me once on my CS3.

"Look at croping option...maybe there is 1pixel in width or something like that."

This is the answer given by a PS guru to someone having a similar problem. Looks like mfogeil gives the same advice.

Did you enter a px value as width and height parameters, like that:

px.jpg

Enter instead something like 3cm / 2cm.

worse comes to worse, i.e. nuculear option. trash your preference files if you have a Mac and relaunch the application. I'm sure there is a way to do the same on a windows machine.

Thanks gentlemen. Ivo, what you show is exactly what I am seeing, except I did not realize there is a place to enter crop dimension as text. Never did I try to do that, and I honestly didn't see it.

I will check later when I am back at my scanner, but I am sure that's it. Thanks again!

Had the same prob for a while, took me ages to figure out what was going on but answer has been given above and really quite simple, just write "in" or "cm" after the crop ratio number
