I need some basic understanding of the crop tool in CS. It seems to
interpolate when I crop. How to you tell the thing to crop at 100%?

Also I would love to know for doing web images how I can specify say
800x600
pixels and be presented with a rectangle at that size and ratio ready to
crop at 100%.

When I crop in ACR at least I know it's a 100% crop, and I will
painstakingly resize the crop window until I see the required dimensions
in
the info window before I move it to the position I want.

I hope I'm just over thinking this but not sure what is going on!

Thanks for your tips and tricks on this.



Hi Bob

On the task bar (when the crop tool is opened) simply fill the wanted
info into the width Height and Resolution blocks.

Dave

what he said
select crop tool
in boxes at the top
leave resolution blank if you do not want resampling to occur
fill in 800x600 in the dimensions boxes MAKE SURE TO WRITE IN PX NOT INCHES
or your comp will freeze up

you can save that setting to your presets in the tools to use over and over
