Adobe PS CS1 ... crop image using original aspect ratio? possible?

jtown · 26th of September 2007 (Wed)

Like the title says. Is there a way to crop an image in CS1 where the dimensions are the same aspect ratio as the original image. I know when you click the "use front image" button it will do this, but it also scales and I don't want that. This is on a PC if that matters. (I think I saw it doable somewhere on a mac version with CS2 or 3).

It may be doable with CS2 or 3, but how about 1?

Thanks!

Draw a crop around the entire image. Keep shift depressed while dragging the corners of the crop box inward.

You could also use the "use front image" button, if you remove the resolution value from the box. Then it will keep the same size, but alter the resolution.
