Hello
I just downloaded the CS2 trial. There are some great features like ACR 3.0, Bridge and Smart Objects. One of nice enhancements to existing features is that now one can change opacity, blending modes and zoom with Navigator Palette when in modal state e.g. Free Transform. The same behaviour should be available when in cropping modal state, but instead I’ve got "Could not complete your request because of a program error" message. I’ve tried this on two different machines with XP Pro.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new document.
2. Turn a Background Layer into a ordinary one.
3. Select Crop Tool. Draw a crop marque.
4. Without commiting the crop go to Layers Palette and try to change layer opacity or blend mode.

Anyone could confirm this?

Regards
m.

Yes, that’s a known bug (found too late, of course).

Unfortunately, known issue, found too late, crop tool only.

How do you perform step 4? Keyboard, mouse?

There is no way I could use only keyboard. The keyboard shortcuts to changing blending modes (Shift+Alt+Letters, Shift+, Shift-) and opacity (Return, Numbers) don’t work in modal state. I selected opacity value with mouse – when using a slider, error shows instatly, when I changed selected opacity value with keyboard, error shows when trying to commit change (either Return key or Tab). When clicking on Blending Modes menu, error shows instantly.

Could you possibly have a look at the thread I started "Please bring back the ability to scroll through fonts with selected text – CS2" in the photoshop.win.featurerequest forum? It seems to be an even more important problem, completely unrelated, though 🙂

Thank You

It’s the mouse.

We’ve reproduced this in-house (and darnit, it’s partly my bug!).

Chris – for what it is worth I tend to consider integrity as a far rarer and richer commodity than denial.

It is wonderful to see this and I compliment it wherever and whenever it is obvious.

I have no hesitation in doing that here and now

Why would you want to ex[ploit the crop tool? It’s a weak toss-back to the ilks of Paint and PSP…

BTW: I checked, and the blend mode option is properly grayed out (unavailable) on the full version, when the crop tool is active..

Why not use the more powerful rectangular marquee selection tool? Then, you can set up a custom shortcut for Image|Crop.

IMHO, the crop tool is desecrated. I seldom, if ever, use it, anymore.
