Constant "Program Error" when using the Crop Tool (1a2d9a.302)

Hi everyone,

I’m constantly running into a very frustrating issue while using the Crop Tool in Photoshop. Almost every single day, and sometimes 2 to 3 times a day, I get the following error pop-up:

"Kırpma aracı bir program hatası nedeniyle (1a2d9a.302) kullanılamadı." (English equivalent: "Could not use the crop tool because of a program error.")

I have attached a screenshot of the exact moment it happens (image_bae30e.jpg). It completely disrupts my workflow.

Important Trigger Note: I noticed a pattern: I'm not 100% sure, but this error usually triggers right after I use AI-powered tools, especially the Remove Tool. Once I'm done with the AI tool and switch back to the Crop Tool, Photoshop gives this error.

Here are some details about my setup:

  • When it occurs: Right after using AI features/Remove Tool, then switching to the Crop Tool.

  • Frequency: Daily, sometimes multiple times a day.

  • Photoshop Version: [Photoshop v27.7.0]

  • OS: Windows 11 

  • GPU: [ NVIDIA RTX 5060 laptop GPU]

What I've tried so far:

  • Restarting Photoshop temporarily fixes it, but the error always comes back after using AI tools again.
