Crop tool screwed up

[crutledge]

I have done something to cause the CROP tool to change.

When I use it and adjust to the image area I wish to retain and press enter or double click, the entire image disappears. Ctl-lt-Z restores the entire image.

Would someone point me in the right direction?

Press the clear button in the crop tool

Many thanks. Sometimes the brain just doesn't work.

If you mess up any other feature on Photoshop may i suggest restoring default settings.

I looked for a way to restore default but found nothing. Seems that the only way is to re-install.

How to reset Photoshop preferences (In Windows):​

1. First, hold down all three Ctrl+Alt+Shift buttons
2. Now "while keeping those button held," simply open Photoshop or a file that opens with Photoshop
3. As Photoshop loads, you should get a prompt asking if you would like to "delete the Photoshop settings file", Click yes.
4. Note: I have found that this process is kind of finicky and doesn't always work. I have had the best results pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift and clicking the Photoshop shortcut from the start menu in Windows.

I had been trying to get this to work over a week or so. It finally worked this morning. I guess I finally got my toung in the right place. The problem may have been more Win 7 than PS. Now I have to get Views -> Extras to stay off.

Many thanks.
