Photoshop Problem

I will try and explain this the best I can. When I use to crop a photo or picture I would click the crop icon on the toolbar down the left, that would let me then drag the cursor to any shape to crop, are you still with me . Anyway the last two day when I will click the icon, but it will now only let me crop squares. I have most likely clicked something by mistake but cant find what, can anyone help. I am using photoshop 7.

Thanks in advance

Do you mean you want a "freehand" crop???

No, I dont think so anyway. The best way I can explain is on the windows desktop if you hold the left mouse button down and drag the highlight box can be square, rectangular, thin or wide. Now I use to be able to do this within photoshop to crop but now it will only crop squares.

Using PS, to crop a pic, click on "image" then canvas size, then enter the size you want.

Try right clicking the crop icon and see what options you get...

Thank you, it came up with a reset tool option which worked. Its a shame there is no rep button like on dogsey.

I still for the life think what I did how to make it go "wrong".

They sometimes like to dicky fit just to keep you o your toes! LOL

Tell me about it, I have spent many an hour on my and other peoples pc sorting software problems, but this is the first time on photoshop, not bad going only one problem in a few years.

Mine spazes out quite alot - mind you its been playing nice lately with the new pc.

In the top bar, you might have put some crop sizes (W&H) in for a previous crop? Next time it happens click on clear or manually delete them
