Restore the Resolution box for the standard crop tool. Taking this away was not a good idea and adds to the workflow. Also would give consistency with the perspective crop tool which indeed does have the Resolution Box

So, it seems that resolution in the crop tool is only available in the creative cloud version. That does not help me if I do not have creative cloud. I have had PS since 5.5, why does Adobe decide to remove resolution in the crop tool some 15 years later?

I think you should have mentioned that resolution in the crop tool was only available in the creative cloud version, in your post Chris.

What are my alternatives Chris? I have just paid for CS6.

OK ... So I downloaded 13.0.6 ....... Why wouldn't PS just update to the current version? Where do I find 13.1? .... PS says "Your updates are all up-to-dateas checked: less than a minute ago. ....... I could do without this sort of garbage. .... Is 13.1 only available on subscription versions?

Doesn't Adobe load the most current version of PS?

The resolution field was put back in Photoshop 13.1.

Is there a fix to this yet? ......... If it ain't broke don't fix it. Now the crop tool in CS 6 is broke.

Where is it Chris? Ive reloaded CS5 for the crop and resolution tool only. It is a huge pain to use two programs. .......... AAaaaahhhhrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

How exactly does removing this feature improve PS?

I upgraded to CS6 because it will probably be the last non-cloud suite they will produce. I live on an island in SE Alaska. Internet access is not always as reliable as in the Lower 48.

I experienced frustration to the point of anger when I could not get to the Resolution box in the crop tool. This blog pointed me to the R key while in crop mode. I am pleased that I can set the two most common resolutions that I use (600 & 1200) as a preset. Even though I need to pull down a menu, it seems a bit faster to select the preset than it does to type it in as in CS5.

Thank you for the help Korinsama!

No one can explain this decision to break the work flow of thousands of professionals that use PS everyday.

Bought my first copy (2.5) in 1993 - have welcomed new features and tools. But this shows that we need to bring back a company like Macromedia to give Adobe some competition which requires them to ask "Will our customers be happy with this change?"
