Question

How do I disable 'Crop Hint' taskbar in Ps Elements 19?

As the title asks.

I've just downloaded the trial version of PsE 19 for my newly-bought PC having used both the full version of Ps / CS6 and a previous version of PsE on my old PC.

I really do NOT need hints as to how to crop my photographs and the 'Hints' taskbar blocks the lower 20% the image every single time I select the crop tool.

It's driving me crazy!

Any advice greatly received! Thanks in advance.

Philip.

    Hi Philip,

    It isn't possible to disable the Tool Options for just one tool. This change will impact all the tools.

    You can accomplish this by the following steps:

    1. Click on the Tool Options icon to view the tool options

    2. Click on the icon as shown in the screenshot below and thereafter click on Auto Show Tool Options.

    3. Again click on the Tool Options icon to hide the tool options.

    Now, whenever you select any tool, its corresponding tool options won't show up. You can simply check the Auto Show Tool Options again to continue seeing the tool options automatically whenever any tool is selected.

    Please let me know if you have any further queries.

    Thanks,

    Medha
