Help needed with zooming in then cropping - PhotoCamel

PeterB · 10-07-2008

Hi all.
Hopefully someone in her will be able to tell me the correct way to be able to zoom in on an image and then crop it using photoshop cs3.
At presant when I zoom in and then crop and save, it always saves it as the origanil size. What am I doing wrong.

Also when Im using Canons DDP and go into the cropping tool, I am unable to zoom in on the area I want before cropping. Is this correct in DDP?

Any tips would be much appreciated.

Thanks all

In order to crop & save in CS3 you must:

select the area you wish to crop using the crop tool
either double click the selected area or click on the 'tick' symbol in the toolbar
then save

You should only have problems with this if the file is 'Read Only' or located on 'write protected' media, but in these cases you should receive a warning message.

Hope this helps.
