On Photoshop CC, I cannot crop in the program.  What am I doing wrong?

      Correct answer Tanja2014

      in your case press (longer) on the 5 icon from above and change from PERSPECTIVE CROP TOOL to CROP tool.

      I had the same issue and here's what I did. Selected the object. then went to Object-->Rasterize. Once Rasterizing was complete, I went back to the object menu and "Crop" was no longer greyed out. I could select CROP and FINALLY crop my  photo.

       

      Hope this helps! (If you were still looking!)

      I just found out it is the workspace!

      When in 3D space working on 2D Crop is grayed out.
      Changed from 3D to Essentials and all was well.
      Hope this helps!

      This does not work for me.

      Also, I have no way of getting out of the usless, unwanted crop tool.

      What I want is the system you used to have which allowed me to choose standard ratios(1:1, 3:4, 4:5, 5:7, &c).

      for that crop feature you need to make a selection first. i don´t see that you made a selection.

      use the crop icon on the left toolbar instead for cropping an image without making a selection first.

      if you don´t see the crop icon there you have to edit the toolbar (the three points icon)

        Thank you, but there is no crop icon, if you look.  I am new with Photoshop CC, but my old photoshop had the icon.  Is there a different Icon??
