[archedmandible]

Is it possible to do this kind of "hidden" crop when using a selection and "Image > Crop" from the menu?

[Nebelvir123987]

[gr8fzy1]

Hey Mr. Tut, at 1:17 I noticed that you appear to have a sort of ghost button underneath your image tab that says "LUCK" and appears to have a pull down menu...what is that?

[malloriernasrallah]

Hey, I have been using this method for quite some time and suddenly the option became grayed out for me, restarting photoshop, the computer, etc does not fix it, nor does checking my caplock button (which i really did try)

any ideas to help those of us out who can not make this function? does it have something to do with saving history states (snapshoting)?

Love your channel and tips!

[gomadzevik]

very helpful! Thanks!

[FeyRayen0]

[TheQasim2020]

any new thing in Ps i see ....i investigate it completely so i knew this sincce i've started Ps

[lvldsnr]

Great to know, i do never use the crop tool. Not doing photography but design, when i crop that is for exporting, so i still have the original .psd. But indeed an important thing to know.

[qaisazhar]

Good Job as always :D

[panzemeyer]

@PHOTOSHOPinHD

I can remember using this option in Windows with an old version of Photoshop but can't find it back on the version I'm using now (CS5 Extended for Windows).

Any clue?

[mnsanthoshkumar]

Really wonderful!

[duilingur2]

love it,



[kokoto2009]

i signed up on facebook and went to your facebook page, but can't figure out how to send you a friend request. The only way it is letting me send friend requests is through my email contact list. Can anyone tell me how to get around this?

Jewel

[kokoto2009]

@kokoto2009 Ok, I got it, all i have to do is 'like' you. Did that.

[alanwellsphotography]

great tip ,, thanks a mil

[tsippyn]

Great tip, thanks :-)

[blanknot]

I must an advanced Photoshop user. Some of these questions people are asking... "how do you change b/w photos to color?" That's like asking, "how do you save your work as a JPEG image?"

[Triatloncomuy]

This is a REAL tip

[ChlorineHeart]

Does anybody know what program he uses to record what he's doing on the computer?

[libanlibanliban]

dude, u're amazing. thanks for sharing. 

[knotnutz]

And they said I needed to pay for a super expensive, how to use Photoshop course! BAH! 

[frank1crayon]

I found them!!! You need to specify the crop before they appear. Great tip! I never noticed that option before. Thanks.

[frank1crayon]

Great tip but I'm not seeing those radio buttons on my toolbar. Where can I find them? CS5 Extended. Thanks!

[tomal28]

i love it, didnt know for 5 years @_@

[snhagood]

[summysingh]

How to change black white photographs to color

[LuisDiMexican]

@summysingh try searching 'how to colorize black and white images on photoshop'. (but basicly all it is, is making the b&w image 1 layer, and create 2nd layer and change the layer mode to 'color' instead of normal, then just color the 2nd layer)

[willgc1]

@summysingh idiot.

[VBAadmin]

@summysingh Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturati­on

Bring the "Saturation" slider all the way down to -100.

[Viscountsky1961]

[PLAKUchannel]

[GirlforGod99]

THANK YOU!!!



[Ciderhouseproducts]

[kahkeshansard]

Didn't know at all. Thank you dear.

[sdpgraphics]

you should be commended for your efforts, i honestly did not know that you could do this until now....thank you!!!

[darkmist255]

Wow this is great to know. Keep doing these tips! They may not affect me at the time, but lets say in the future I cropped too much, I would HATE myself for not knowing this.

[MrKalius]

Brilliant, Just the thing I needed for some of my project' works! You've done it again Howard. Outstanding. Keep 'em coming, man!

[neongirl1049]

[slylink690]

Little things like this always amaze me. thanks for the tip!

[MichaelBradus]

Why would it be set to delete by default. That seems so dumb...

[KiNGxSuNRiSe]

THANKS TOM! :D

[keyroche1]

Great one! I never even noticed that setting - half the time I don't notice tool options

[seacoastlife]

Excellent tip. I always look forward to your videos. Your tips are so helpful.

[just4networkerz]

[kholoodfantasy2006]

Great tip

didn't know about it before

Thank you ^_^

[IJustTrySomeThing]

Thank you! I was searching this! :)

[BeatxByxBeat]

This is awesome! You always have great tips. There's so many different settings on Photoshop that I have no idea how to use or what they're for, and I'm either too afraid or too impatient to experiment because of the fact that they can seem overwhelming. But life is made easier by you with these short, simple videos=] Thank you!

[GingerSnapsPhoto]

[nelsyeung]

These tips are awesome!!! most of them I never even seen before!

[enyana20]

Love the hidden tip, alt clicking to make it a layer. I always dubble clicked and accepted. So hidden tip was good aswell :)

[Ludwigtremblay]

But what happens when you save, say to a JPG format?

[1NotEvenFunny1]

@Ludwigtremblay then you can't go back and expand it, save it as a PSD (photoshop file).

[Picotee810]

Another great tip! Thank you....;-)

[drkangel762]

That's a great tip! Thanks!

[impalor1979]

thats great, thanks for the tip...

[brick72]

Like it!

I had the problem with integrate PSD to Premiere. If the layer has hidden elements, Premiere crahs´s down. So I had to delete these things manually. Now I know - thanks to you - an easyer way to do it. Thumbs up!

(Sorry for my bad english, its not my first language)

[BritishPRO]

Cool feature! ))

[cockerduchess]

Thank you!!!!

[dmccoy1693]

NICE!!!! Thanks! I never would have figured that out on my own.

[BlazeDragonz100]

Thx for the tip!

[debiejeff1ftw]

When I use the crop tool it chooses the size, how I change that?

[jebjeb201]

@debiejeff1ftw do you have the width and height fields filled in?

[debiejeff1ftw]

@jebjeb201 Sorry already found it. (:

Thanks anyways :)

[rutgersemp01]

These are the best. Most tutorials are teaching you how to make an image. Your videos are on how to actually use photoshop

[RosannaLacey]

Thank you SO much. These little tips and tricks are so helpful. But I always sit here like "OH MY GOD, REALLY?" and I kick myself for not having known about it earlier haha

[1Mudkip88]

Thanks Tom! ;)

[DaleStiles]

I have CS 5. I followed all the steps and I see the Cropped Area: "radial buttons" but they are grayed out. It is set to Delete and I can't change it to Hide. Can anyone help me get this to work?

[DaleStiles]

@DaleStiles Never mind, I found that if I unchecked "Perspective" I was able to Hide. I was going to delete my post and then decided that maybe someone could benefit from my experiementation.

[enjoydotcom]

@DaleStiles Lol, I was trying it out for you, wanting to tell you it is perspective. And you found it out all by yourself :D.

[DaleStiles]

@enjoydotcom :-) Thanks.



[MyOutdoorsIowa]

@DaleStiles Thanks for that! 

[durtX43]

wow, i never knew this until now. XD

[Zeroi]

Now that's useful

[hellgodhaven]

just awesome i would say the f werd but i don't want to be rude on your viedo :3

[ootnitsuj]

Wow wow wow! Great tip!

[Krassus99]

[Annihilator909]

Gorilla: why am i stuck here

[memoivoila]

Life saver

[JoacimSc]

Is there a way to reset the croping/hiding afterwards, without having to drag in the corners?

[Miny000000]

LOVE IT

[VideoRanger]

Nice!

[YanTin5710]

More PS tips please. Im sure I may have missed some minor but important buttons.. thanks.

[Princess87Yuna]

great!

[DerekC1990]

God that is an awesome tip, I don't know how I never noticed that option but it will be SO useful! Most of my editing is non-destructive, except the cropping always was so I had to save stuff as copies. Now I can just keep one .psd that seems cropped but can be undone :D

[Hrvoje16zg]

there were hundred of situations alike :)

[giant2rabbit3]

Simply presented, easy to understand, and so informative. I really appreciate all the tips and techniques you provide :)

[TheBrixis]

Howard, I did like this tip a lot, thanks!



[glbdmc]

[ShareTN]

Great option. Didn't know it existed. Thanks.

I love your tips for PS. Keep on.

[Watsamadoing]
