Menu Edit >> preference > general.

Don't tick the 'Enable crop selection' checkbox.

And don't move your cursor over the crop proposal. You can't 'uninstall' that feature, but it won't start automaticall if you don't move your cursor over the thumbnails in the tool palette.

Also consider uing the rectangular marquee tool, followed by the menu Image >> crop.

Is 'Enable Crop Selection' called something else in CS5? I do not see it under  Menu Edit>>Preference>>General.

I am opening a .dng file and photoshop is automatically cropping it.

Thank you
