Crop Tool - I keep getting the Crop Tool constrained when I want to resize

[Jim Dandy]

In CS2 Photoshop for the mac, every time I try to resize an image I get the Crop Selector Tool doing a constrained formation of the selector. I can't put the selector around an image and form it to a random pattern of my choosing.

I tried searching this and can not come up with an answer. I tried looking in Preferences and can't find an adjustment. The Help menu doesn't seem to work either.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks much !:question:
