John Seaman Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I run the ancient CS5 on Windows 10. The crop tool has disappeared from the toolbar. And the Crop menu item in the Image menu is greyed out. Very frustrating, I can't get them back. Can someone help please? Thanks in advance.

Sanford Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Try right clicking on what replaced it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Let's start with a reset of preferences to see if this fixes the issue. Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) immediately after launching Photoshop. You will be prompted to delete the current settings. You can also reset preferences on quit if Photoshop is running by going into General Preferences>General>Reset on Quit. 1 1 Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Seaman Posted September 24, 2023 Author Share Posted September 24, 2023 Thanks for the responses, Sanford and digitaldog. Sanford has it, I've been using this program for ten years and I never realised that the Crop tool shares its box in the toolbox with the slice tools. I feel rather stupid. Thanks for the info about deleting the settings, digitaldog, that's useful. Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanford Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 I knew the answer because I've made the same mistake and it took me days to figure it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaldog Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 In the future: Type C key to move/select the Crop tool, then Shift C to toggle the options. The Shift and the key to select for each tool works the same. For example, I key for Eyedropper tools, then Shift I to toggle each option for that tool. 1 Author “Color Management for Photographers" & "Photoshop CC Color Management" (pluralsight.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just been through the every key on the keyboard and made a list of all the single key to toolbox tool shortcuts. There are so many things in Photoshop I don't know, despite being a regular user for probably 20 years. Thanks again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
