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.

  • 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.

    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

  • 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.

  • 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.
