I have scanned in three photos from which I would now like to crop extraneous background. However, the crop tool appears to be stuck in ‘maintain proportions’ mode (i.e. acting like the shift key is pressed, when it isn’t). I only have adjustment handles in the corners, nothing in the middle of the sides (IOW, I have four handles, not eight, as I believe I should have). How do I extend the area ‘disproportionately’? I want to ‘stretch’ the area by the sides, not the corners.

Holding down shift doesn’t make any difference.

What am I doing wrong?

With the Crop Tool active, click on the CLEAR box in the Options Bar. Good luck! . . . . patrick

That’s because you have told it to use fixed proportions.

Click on the crop tool and look at your options bar.
