Hello there,
I am not computer literate however I can use Photoshop 7 for 1 thing only, cropping a photo.
My problem is, I have done this many times in the past however recently I must have changed a setting or something as now the cropping tool won’t work like it normally does.
When I drag the curser down, the cropping area will only get larger if I move the curser across the screen as well, Before it would do oblong shape crops & now it will only crop a square shape !

Please could you help me to adjust my setting so that I can make the tool work like it did before ?

I have sent a small clip to show you what I am trying to do – See Link

On it I am trying to crop the words in the photo, as you can see on it, the cropping tool stops going any further down even though I am moving the curser down – So frustrating !

Many thanks

Regards Richard.

I think you may have a problem with your graphics card drivers.
Try downloading and installing the latest set.

I guess you discovered that you were doing a constrained crop and cleared the values by clicking on the [Clear] button.

Yes Exactly Wladicus
