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.

  • Re: Cannot use the recovery on Satellite L505D partition

    Hello.

    I am trying to help a friend with their Satellite L505D who had a serious virus problem. I wasn't able to run/install programs with the virus on it. I used a Microsoft tool to remove the rootkit trojan, but I always had problems with viruses. I also lost most of the programs on the computer. All folders were empty (except for some games), so I could not access all of the tools in this way. I could not the machine to load any Toshiba restore utility by pressing zero everything with power. I saw some recovery using F8 during the startup options and had a link to restore the original setting of Toshiba, but clicking that choice has done nothing else a break for a few seconds. I waited several minutes, clicked on it again, rebooted and tried. Nothing. As a side note, once all the while, the recovery partition was visible from explorer.exe. Not before or since.

    So I reformatted the computer with a 64-bit Win7 Home Premium Upgrade disk (the partition of restoration by leaving intact) and then enter the key for the system. Supprise, supprise, it asks me to activate within 3 days.

    My basic question is, can I access this partition recovery in a different way to use it? IE copy its contents, or start on some comand prompt to log e:?

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

    Hello

    To be clear: there is only one way to use the saved on the HARD drive recovery image and install it.
    Exact description step by step how you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

    If this does not work, only way to do it anyway is to use the recovery DVDs. It is: has your friend created these disks?

  • When I use the truncation tool, select a zone and press return it removes everything except for a single pixel. This just started today. CS5, Windows 7.

    When I use the truncation tool, select a zone and press return it removes everything except for a single pixel. This just started today. CS5, Windows 7. I tried to reinstall CS5 and who did not help. I am trying to set up a new computer and installed Photo Shop CS5 on it earlier in the day. Maybe it has something to do with it. But until I get the new fully configured machine I still want to continue to work on my current machine, which is where the problem is happening.

  • How to use the crop tool without losing pixels?

    5616 x 3774 / res 72, is what CS5 says my Canon 5 d 2 large jpeg is off camera.

    Can I use the harvest too to make a picture of 20 "x 24" and keep all or most of these pixels? "

    Leave the area blank resolution?

    The lab I send the file to print, said they want 300 res files (just to complicate the thing a little more)

    Thank you!

    To tell the truth I do not use the crop tool. I use the selection Rectangle, crop image tool and the size of the image.  If you use the crop tool and fill a field of resolution in the crop tool crop tool makes all three operations including the harvest to the resolution that you have entered the resampling. Adobe also gave the crop tool implemented in CS6 that a lot in my arms. Don't mind at all.

    IMO if you use harvest its best tool to fill the field of the resolution. In this way the harvest will not resample.  You can enter height 24 20 width or height width 6 5 in fact the same proportions as it is 12:10

    After you do the crop you can use the size of the Image. In the dialog box uncheck resample set the width for printing on 24. You'll see Photoshop set a height 20 and set the resolution to a certain value. If the fall of DPI value below what you want check resample together in the desired resolution and interpolation method to use and then click OK.

  • 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.

  • Why is the crop tool of Pathfinder removing elements of work plan?

    Hi all

    I have a drawing with shapes that pass the complex vector graphic board. I want to reframe the elements contained in the work plan without using a clipping mask. My problem is when I draw a rectangle equal to the artboard, place it on its own in the upper layer, unlock and show all forms (there is no open path) and select all the items, the results do not give me a good vector to be cropped. For some reason, it removes items from the artboard and leaves the white lines where my ways are... live the paths of the steam! (there is no transparent and everything is in RGB)

    Here are the before and after of the background of the work. Any ideas?

    Thank you!!

    For some reason, it removes items from the artboard

    The reason depends specifically on the manner in which your paths are drawn.

    You should be able to do this:

    1. place a horizontal guide at the bottom of the artboard.

    2 knife tool: Position cursor outboard of the artboard. Press Alt. Mousedown (alignment of the guide). ShiftDrag to the right at the bottom of the work.

    However, this assumes behavior reliable and accurate Snap on tool set, which is not Illustrator.

    To avoid all the warnings of illustrators Boolean path very badly implemented combination offers (the so-called Scouts):

    1 rectangle tool. Draw a rectangle on the artboard outboard, alignment of the upper part of it to the bottom of the artboard.

    2 copy.

    3 ShiftClick one of the paths that you want to cut out.

    4. click on the "punch" (subtract) Pathfinder (assuming that the CS5 or CS4; altClick the same Pathfinder in CS3 and earlier versions.)

    5 paste in front. Repeat steps 3 & 4.

  • 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.
