crop and straighten problem

[legala88]

I was using photoshop CS 5 to crop and straighten some scanned photos. After using it several times it suddenly said A required operation is unavailable. Can anyone help with this problem. thanks

Can you get a screen shot of this error?

How do I do that. It is a box off to the side of the picture with the photoshop symbol and a check box that says OK.

Look on your keyboard for the PRT SCRN button...

Hit the PRT SCRN or Print Screen button like Kevin said, then go to File|New in PS.
In the New duologue box set the preset to Clipboard and click on OK.
use Ctrl+V to paste the image and save it as a JPG.

Post the file here.

I'm using a mac and there is no print screen key. Does anyone know the shortcut?

 

[Steve]

print screen mac - Google Search

Google will help you here. :google:

Substitute Ctrl+V with whatever you use to Paste after a copy.

I'm not sure, Google offers nothing but some Plugin error string..

"$$$/Plugins/Automation/CropPhotosAuto/Error/RequiredOpNotAvailable=A required operation is unavailable."

A google search for that phrase has 2 hits and one of them is this thread.
Are you having any other PS issues?
Is it happening on all your images or just a few?

I have no idea but there are a couple of things you should do anyway.

Reset your preferences file - Read how to do it HERE.
Cold boot your computer. Turn it off then back on, not just restart.
Make sure PS is up to date. Use Help|Updates to get the latest PS updates.
Make sure you have the most current video drivers installed on your computer.
Try turning off OpenGL settings Command+K then go to Performance

I'm having this problem too.

Your image file is too big. I just had the same problem in CS6. But when I reduced the size of the file, it cropped and straightened just fine.
