P: Content Aware Crop Error 1244 Illegal Argument

I found a repeatable error when testing at the extreme limits of the Content Aware Crop feature.  I created a 2 pixel wide by one pixel tall image.  Filled in both pixels with a color and attempted to crop out with content aware enabled.

This consistently gave me an error of Error 1244 - Illegal Argument, this error does not crash the program entirely and does not block the feature from being used in my testing.

    Hello , I just had this same problem and found out the solution.  In the cropping panel above your opened document choose Ratio instead of W x H x Resolution . Hope it helps !

      The OP reported that it happened when out-cropping all four sides at the same time.

      Original image 3390  x 2899 pixels increased by 12% I have since found that if I rseset the crop tool, the content aware fill of transparent pixels works as it should. I'm using Classic version 24.1.1 on a Windows PC

      Hi, @davidl28131511 could you give the specifications of the image, how many pixels w and h? What percentage of the image is transparent? What is the exact version of Photoshop?

      This is Photoshop CC 2019 20.0.1 and Windows 10 64 bit Version 1809.  I forgot to put in my steps that you need to crop to a larger size with Content Aware on.  I also cropped out on all four sides if that helps.

      What version of Photoshop and what OS/Version? I wasn't able to reproduce this off-hand.
