Fit image to screen after cropping

Hi

 

I was wondering how to make photoshop behave so that after cropping an image, it fits the image exactly in the window. (= Ctrl+0)

 

I seem to recall this is how it behaved in the passed, but it doesn't anymore.

I've reset the crop tool, played with combinations of "Use Classic Mode" and (de)activate Overscroll...

It doesn't do what I want.

 

Screenshots attached of before, during & after + after-desired.

 

Do you know how to do this?

Perhaps there is an event to listen for using the Scripts Event Manager?

 

Thanks for your help!

Closest thing I can think of is to zoom in with the Overscroll option off, do your crop, and hope for the best. The zoom level will always stay the same, though. Maybe it can be done via scripting, but I'm no scripting maven.

Hi, I do remember the same behavior, and wished it was still the case.

the scripts events manager could be used to automate it, but it would need a cropping event in the list to trigger it.

Converting your question to afeature request.

Here’s a screenshot, note that the Event Name can be anything, however, the Descriptive Label is case-sensitive and must be:

 

Crop

 

An action will need to have the "insert menu item command" used for the fit step:

TIL that there are more events!
There should be a built in list. I'll go check.

(but IMHO the behavior should be the default one, as it was before.)

Many events can be found in the scripting documentation or here:

However, not all events are documented and ScriptingListner may be required.

Thanks! Indeed, that said for the usefulness of the SEM, having a longer built-in list would be a plus!
