Unable to Crop an Image

[Jack]

I have been successfully cropping my images on PS v. 24.5.0 for many days. Now I have an image in which the crop option is disabled, both in DNG, PSD and JPF formats. I have no clue as to what is going on.

Earlier I needed to resize an image to make it smaller, but PS appeard to have left the canvas at the original size. When I tried resizing the canvas, it turned green and became larger!

Any ideas appreciated.

Best, jwc

Did you make it angry?

Can you show us a full res screen shot of your workspace showing layers panel and image?  

Thanks

Please show me how to display the layers panel of my image. Web search has been unhelpful.

In Photoshop there is a MENU item called  "Windows"- Try it and see. You might find "Layers" in that menu.

I was unsuccessful in pasting a screenshot into a 'reply' message. Not sure why ... Wondering ifwe would be able to proceed via some other workflow? Perhaps you can somehow guide me as to what to look for in the 'Layers' panel?

I now have the 'Layer' panel open in the 'Window' menu item for oone of my images in PS. All that I can see is the 'Baclground' layer. I do see an otption to create a new layer [??] ... Will that wllow me to crop/resize the image? nWhat other actions shall I look for, or take??

Finally I have just rediscovered the 'Crop' tool in the PS toolbar, and now, all is well!! ...  Sorry to have bothered all of you with this ...
