An Issue With Photoshop CS3

[MishoM]

This post no longer makes sense. I uploaded the fixed avatar, so below is the fixed one.

Ok, look at my avatar:

When making it in Photoshop CS3, I had a small stroke border around the image. When I go to crop it, unlike in CS2, it like crops it itself. I'm like going in with the tool to crop it the way I like, with the border, then when I come close to the image, it does the rest by itself and doesn't include the border....

Does anyone know how I could turn that off....? (I hope you guys get what I mean....)

I think its: shift + ;

but i am not entirely sure.

An alternative is to turn the rulers on with ctrl + r, then drag a guide from the ruler to the edge of the bit you want to crop. The tool should lock to this line.

Hope i could help.

It sort of worked, but it was still very difficult to do since the ";" key is on the right said by shit, and I'm right handed, but it sort of worked, so well done to you.

But, I believe I have an easier solution to this problem. After playing around for about 20 minutes, I took the regular Rectangular Marquee Tool, (in CS3, its the first tool, the rectangle lol), I then outlined the image with the border since you can with the Rectangular Marquee Tool without it auto-outlining, and I then hit "Image" at the top, and then "Crop". It worked perfectly!

The final image:

Mods, you can now close this since the issue has been resolved.

Or you can do ctrl + a, to select all, then select > modify > contract, then insert the width of your border, which'll leave the bit you need, then go image > crop like you said. But yeah, good to know you fixed it, and glad i was helpful.

Maybe you should contact Adobe support.

Hmm, I'd just crop a bit more than necessary and then add the inner border myself.
