Why crop tool is my black screen?

For the past 10 years or so to use Photoshop, when I activate the crop tool, I am able to see the picture while I'm cropping, which is of course as it should.

Then I reinstalled PS a few months ago and ever since that date, more often than otherwise, when I activate the crop tool it blackens the entire screen so I have to guess how I'm trying to trim.  but sometimes the crop tool will work properly and I would like to see the image that I am cropping cropping!  Crazy, right?

In the opacity field adjust % yourself

  • ACPI.sys corrupted at startup disk on the black screen windows

    When I start my computer normally all I get is a black screen with my cursor on it before I reach the log on screen (but after normal of the windows startup process).  I tried Ctrl alt del and nothing happens, there is no beep or anything along those lines is.  I tried safe mode, but exactly the same thing happens, I get a black screen with white inscription around the edges, telling me that I'm in safe mode and my slider is still there and moves, but other then that is all black screen.  Ctrl alt delete doesn't work or any other key press on that I skipped.  I put in my windows XP CD and he would try to repair or reinstall the operating system but when I boot on the CD, it starts to load normally and then stops and gives me the error message "the acpi.sys file is corrupted.  Press a key to continue' when I press any button it goes upwards and brings back me to the black screen with the cursor.  I tried to go into the BIOS and turn off acpi but the loading and the startup disk produce the exact same results any bios settings I try.  Any help would be appreciated, either for obtaining windows at startup after the black screen without the startup disk or get me to the point where I can still use the CD (which I should mention that I have used before and it worked well, is the one responsible for my windows XP in the first place and who is clean and scratch free).  Thank you for any help or advice.  Oh, and I must add that I have installed any new software or whatever it is like in the last month or two, so I don't think it is something like that.

  • Why Camtasia records a black screen with audio in Firefox

    While doing a screen capture Camtasia 7 using Powerpoint, Irfanview and 24 of Firefox on PC under Windows 7 64 bit, I noticed that the sound is recorded but not the video.

    The closing of Firefox both Powerpoint and Irfanview are saved correctly.

    The screenshot was repeated using Firefox, then Internet Explorer as your browser, the black screen returned twice.

    Permutation of Internet Explorer for Chrome and Opera, the screenshot was recorded properly so there is a problem with Firefox and Camtasia wherever the audio is recorded.

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in Firefox.

  • Memory will not work Diagnostic tool - black screen

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my (relatively) new - an ASUS laptop UX - 21F. It worked very well for the first three months, but only in the last week has crashed several times on me with a BSOD. Unfortunately, Windows (Win7 Ultimate) does not create the memory dump file as it is currently specified to do so. (Yes, I checked, double-checked and rechecked re this parameter.) It simply does not create the image file.) Looking back through the event log, it does not match what is happening just before failure. It seems to be random.
    It sounded like a potential RAM for me, so I thought I'd run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool. I chose restart immediately and... nothing. It restarts, messages and then it is a black screen and high enough system fan wind rising and the system gets hot enough. There is no cursor, or anything like that, and the only thing we can do is to hit the power button (it instantly stops, rather than having to four seconds). When it restarts, the system boots normally into windows.
    I tried to access the tool in many different ways and there seems to be no way to enforce. Each way I just get a black screen and a hot computer.
    What should I do here? I do a lot of development on this machine and I'm kind of falling ill to endorse things up to four times a day in case it crashes and I lose my job. Should I reinstall the OS and see if the problems go away? Or is there something less invasive than I do?

    Download and create the CD to boot from here:

    Memtest86 + http://www.memtest.org/

    If you have more than one piece of RAM in it, blow an and boot from the CD. If there are no errors, swap out with another room and boot on the CD again.

    Look in the event log at the time of the accident and see what are the entries for error there. This might give you a clue as to what is happening.

    Is the ' (relatively) new laptop "still under warranty by any chance? If so, you should also contact ASUS or the place you bought it from.

  • crop tool missing, reason why you have a tutorial to help me use the crop tool, and there is no crop tool?

    So, where's the crop tool?  Nowhere to be seen.  And you still have a tutorial that says to use the crop tool, but if the obsolete tutorials, then why you always the same tutorial?

    Yes.  It's exactly what I told you in the _identical_ of _other_ thread that you started with this question.  It's just one of the reasons why it isn't a good idea to start multiple threads.  I locked this thread, but one of the other moderators of the forum has been deleted.

    As often occurs when the wrong VGA driver is installed.  This occurs when the view Agent is installed on the desktop, and then the VMware Tools is updated after the fact.  The result is the driver included with the Agent to view VGA is replaced with the VGA driver in VMware Tools.  You can see some advantages to the relocation of the Agent of the view, or update the VMware Tools and then install the Agent from the view.

  • 8.3.2 tools VMware (ESX 4.1) breaks PCoIP, get black screen

    I think it was a problem w / ESX 4.0 U2, (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1022830) install the tools of this version would break PCoIP. But now I'm under ESX 4.1 and 4.5 of the view and I get the same symptoms. I thought that this problem would have been solved now. Especially the KB does not mention the new version as being affected. There is nothing in the KB anywhere on the new version, having all the problems.

    My clients, both see the client and my wyse zero clients, connect with pcoip thin on their desktop with the old tools version 4.0.0 build-261974, but as soon as I upgraded to the version of the tools included with ESX 4.1, 8.3.2 build-257589 and try to reconnect on the desktop, I get a black screen for a few seconds then the connection drops.

    All works in this or run the latest tools with a number? Any ideas how to fix? I tried to uninstall, reboot, and reinstall and reboot again... does not help...

    I have not much except the Tools icon in the status bar indicates the user there is an upgrade, and as they can, they click it and do the upgrade of care... then of course, they break their connection... ugh!

    Thank you!

    Pseudo-device to work around the problem, try to uninstall and re-installation of the Agent from the view on systems running the 4.5 Agent view.  Just curious to see what is happening in this case.

  • Why my crop tool works horizontally?

    Im trying to crop my image and it works vertically, but when I move the image or paste it on another layer excess I wanted removed is still there. I already cleared all the crop tool settings and reset all the settings of photoshop. Anyway to fix this?

    Hello

    Thanks for the pics, I wish you would show the entire document and the screen to see your settings and panels. My guess is that you are working on the image layer is a "dynamic object" that will keep the data even after cropping. (see SO icon below). You can rasterize TI (right click on the SO layer in the layer panel and choose layer rasterize). Or just go ahead and save it as a file .gif and must produce a color copy Index cropped your file.

  • Tool text displays a black screen with strength parameters of GPU

    Hey everybody,

    When I go to use the text tool, I can't go beyond adding a custom project text. A screen example:

    Screenshot_2012-12-01-19-01-35.png

    I was wondering if someone could reproduce. The steps are:

    • Create a new project by typing '+' in the middle left. (Create all the dimensions.) TAP "OK".
    • TAP, '&,' top-right, and then type, "text".
    • Tap the text input field in the lower left corner.
    • Tap anywhere once fact. You might find yourself with a screen that I have above.

    Tapping on the icon 'back' in Android just me nets a completely black screen and will not leave PS touch as he normally does. I have to use the home screen icon and by sweeping PS touch of my running applications to launch PS touch and make it work properly again.

    I have not tried uninstalling/reinstalling immediately; want to see if someone can repro first.
