Hi

I used PS 5.5 and when I selected the Free Transform Tool (CMD+T) in a layer that is bigger than the image, the Marquee is inside the image. Now in PS 7 the rectangule is outside of the image... Is there some preference to change it??

Thanks!

I'm terribly confused by what you just said. I have no such prob with ps7, and couldn't produce yours.

clarify?

The follow image shows the problem. I want to use the free transform tool in PS 7 like it works in PS 5.5, showing the rectangule inside the picture, even if the image is big.

I access the Crop Tool using CMD+T (Free transform) after select a layer.

If you drag the circle layer with the move tool in both of your examples, is the rest of the circle there?

I suspect that the circle exists outside the image area in the PS7 example, but not in the PS5.5 example. Did you draw the circle the same way in both examples?

select with the marquee tool first?

The circle exists outside in PS7 and PS5.5 example. The diference is when I press CMD+T to use the Free Transform Tool. Imagine a large layer, I can't move it with the move tool...

I think that is just the way the 2 versions are.

Huh? You can't move a layer with the move tool?

Yes, I can move, but it's more easy just drag the rectangule, like PS 5.5...

But if you drag the rectangle itself, you resize the layer. Or do you mean dragging inside the rectangle (in which case, does it matter if you see the bounding box itself)?

I just type "v" to select the move tool if all I'm doing is moving the layer. No chance of accidental resizing either.

Don't rotate manually, input your rotation amount on the option bar- which wasn't available in v. 5.5

Sure, but imagine a big layer with a big picture. I will drag and drag and drag until see the rectangule border. It's my problem. In 5.5 the rectangule borders keep in the visible area!!!

zoom out. waaaaaaay out. then size til it fits in your image window. then do whatever.

zoom zoom zoom.

I see what you are saying now. I think that's just the way it is. Do like andi says, zoom way out (cmd -) and drag your image window bigger to see the handles.

Andi*pandi is onto it here.

Zoom waaay out - and drag the window really big so you get to see the pasteboard … um … thingy, the grey bit. From there on in it's pretty obvious.
