Leaving this in the hopes someone from the development team sees this. The new crop tool is a huge downgrade, and the software generally runs worse than the 2024 version. I run into more issues than previous models, and many of the ai features seem to be prioritized over the staples that everyday users rely on. Hope that in the future, product development teams can spend more time talking to users, and better support their community.

Throwing this into the ether as it doesn't seem that there is a great spot to post a photoshop review on adobe's product page.

Not that it's helpful but I agree. Generative AI tools like Remove work exponentially worse in 2025 Beta than they did in older versions like 2023 and 2024. I mean they literally lock this computer up now with the slightest use, when they've been around and worked flawlessly for years. The new crop tool I agree is a downgrade and I feel like there's probably a way to revert the way it works.

What are your computer specs? Photoshop is getting a lot more demanding of system resources than it used to, and you are not going to have a great experience running the latest versions if you are using a slow computer.

Can you share a screenshot of your options bar for the Crop tool so we can see what you are seeing?

Have you tried resetting the options for the tool? Right-click the tool in the options bar (not Tools panel) and choose Reset tool.
