Question
Hi There,
Something is funky about my crop tool.  When I select the image and hit crop, the whole thing shrinks down to like a little tiny pixel?  It worked for awhile when I was working on a big project and then just stopped working.  Did I set something without knowing it?
Thanks,
annie

Answer
Hi Annie,
two things.

1. when it shrinks down to a tiny pixel. try zooming in, it could have zoomed out to the full. press cntrl+0.
if thats not the case.
2. After selecting the crop tool. press 'enter' button (not the numeric keyboard one). you see a top info bar below the menu. Make sure the fields(width and height) for the coordinates are empty and not set to any values.

let me know if u need further assistance.
