Photo cropping issue

[1CC]

Good morning,

I have successfully been cropping photos for years until this morning! I have no idea what I did, but now, instead of the 90° angles, my corners are rounded. There is the white "moving line" around the perimeter. If I click "crop," Photoshop doesn't crop where the lines are. It does crop inward, but only about half the distance toward the crop line.

What did I do and how do I fix it, please? I hope someone can help me. Thanks so much!

just reset the tool you should be good

Thanks, iDad, but that didn't fix it. It's still not cropping to the lines and still has the rounded corners. I wish I knew what I did. Ugh!

Thanks for your help. I'll appreciate any more ideas that may fix what I've unknowingly done.

Are you using the rounded rectangle tool, in shapes? on your cropping?

 

[iDad]

can you post an image of the tool settings?

It sounds like you are using the rectangular marque tool set to feather and not the crop tool, which is why you are seeing the marching ants and rounder corners.

Hawkeye, thank you for your response. How do I fix it? ~ Chris

Hi iDad,

I don't know how to find the tool settings. *sigh* It's not listed at the top. Here is a screenshot. Maybe that'll help. Click to make larger. If you need it enlarged more, let me know and I'll send a larger one.



Thanks,
Chris

Looking at your screenshot you have feather set to 60 pixels.

Thank you again! At what number should it be set? I so appreciate your help. I wish I knew how I changed the number in that little box! I've never used the feather option before, LOL.

highlight or select that box use your up or down arrows or just key in 0

Thank you! All is well now! I wish I knew how I changed that feather number from 0 to 50! Guess I was not attentive or something. I knew it had to be something obvious as my knowledge of Photoshop is minimal (enough to do what I need to do).

Thank you again!

If you are cropping photos simply use the cropping tool that iDad highlighted in the photo above. Its much simpler.
