Background layer unlocks and becomes the normal "no flat" layer after using the crop tool in PS CC 2015.1 (a different behavior for older versions of PS)

Hi all

I found that it is more difficult to explain than I thought

I don't like the new behavior in the latest version of Photoshop (CC 2015.1) regarding the way in which the background layers automatically unlock and convert to regular layers after using the crop tool. It's completely different to how things worked in previous versions, where a background layer remained in locked state flattened after using the crop tool.

I get a LOT of images and this change has added an extra step to each image that I harvest, because I flatten the layers after cropping before saving the image. I looked through the preferences but cannot find a way to change this new behavior. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for your help

See if checking Delete the cropped Pixels in the tool options makes a difference.

  • Select the crop tool, and then select a ratio (based on the name of the file)

    I have a lot of files that when I their culture that they need a specific report. Currently, they are stored in the tool.

    I wish I could make a shortcut so that it selects the crop tool and the report to the file name. I can understand the file name information.

    i.e. Fr10 = a 2:3 Ratio

    or

    20 = 3:4

    There is no need to crop the image simply select the tool.

    I found this to select the tool

    The beginning is the same.

  • Using the crop tool to remove unused pixels or the artboard

    I have a cut picture, I placed a drop shadow (using the layer styles) on a transparent background.  I want to quickly use the crop tool to remove unused pixels or the artboard.

    I tried to enable 'show the edges of the layer', but it ignores the layer style/shade that I placed, and as it disappears when you start using the crop tool itself.  If this does not really work.

    Is there another way to do this?  Other than the eye it?  I too want to crop the image as tight as possible, but I don't want tight, too tight and cut off from the shadow.  Any advice?  Thank you!!

    Try Image - Trim function.  I think it will do exactly what need you.

  • OfficeJet 4635 cancel the firmware update because my ink cartridges are for older versions of the product

    I was happy with my officejet 4635 until I clicked on ok to apply for the HP firmware update. He said that it would improve my printer. However, demand has not said that my ink cartridges may not work if I installed the update. I clicked on ok and the update has been successfully installed. Now I can't print anything because I get an error message saying the I have ink cartridges are designed for older versions of the product. I do not use the new HP cartridges because they cost too much. I used cartridges refilled abacus in Az. Phhoenix which worked fine up until I did the update of the firmware of HP. I need to go back to the old system, so I can print again. I am connected to a desktop computer HP envy running windows 8.1. I'm furious HP to try and force you to buy their new cartridges with an update of something. I think that whoever came up with this update should be fired. Any help with a solution would be appreciated.

    I was told that there is no way to undo the update of the firmware. HP did send me a few ink cartridges so I could print again, but I am still ticked about the way this has been ensured by HP. They have not told me that my old version cartridges would not more work after updating firmware. I think that it is simply dishonest on part of HP and I am sure that other customers have been captured by this update of the firmware. I am sure it was a HP effort going to force you to use their new cartridges. I'll be very careful on the acceptance of the updates from HP in the future.

  • Automatically detect orientation using the crop tool

    Hello, according to my knowledge the crop tool in CS6 automatically detect whether the image was a picture of format portrait or landscape photo format. I now use the trial of CC, but in this version, I can't find this option. When I now open a portrait-format photo cropping tool remembers the last harvest-setting. If it was a portrait-ratio is not a problem, but when I cropped photo landscape format I have to manually change the orientation from landscape to portrait.

    Anyone who can help me with this? Or has this feature disappearted in CC?

    Note that in your Options Panel in the upper part, you have 3:2 (4:6). To the left of that, right click on the crop tool icon and select Reset tool as in the screenshot, I sent earlier. This will change the options of the report tool that you see in my screenshot.

    Once you have reset the cropping tool, send a new screenshot of the Options Panel.
