Cropping no longer works

If I load a file into Photoshop Beta 24.6.0 and try to crop it, when I commit the crop instead of giving me the newly cropped image, I get a square of random size (apparently) that contains none of my image. If I do the same crop in the release version, it works fine.

The first thing to try is to reset your Crop tool. Right-click it in the options bar (not Tools panel) and Reset tool. Can you tell us if this fixes it for you? If not, you might need to reset preferences.

 

I've been cropping in the beta and it works for me.

Okay. So, I posted I was having the same issue. Here's what's happening for me. I went back into the full release version, 24.6.0 and discovered Crop does NOT work in the full release or beta if the images are on an Artboard.

 

If there is no Artboard involved, the crop works fine in both beta and full release.

This is EXACTLY whats happening here. In my artboard, the crop tool simply does not work or display any kind of handles around the selected image.

I am having the same issue. I am running PS Beta 24.7

 

When I make a selection of any type, go to Image > Crop - nothing happens. 

 

If I use the Crop tool in the tool bar, it's pretty much a dead tool, doesn't do anything either.

Hi @jlg84NZ curious if you see the same issue in the latest beta, 24.7?
