Crop still isn't working!

[Connie]

I still can't get the crop tool to work properly, even with holding shift. It still insists on keeping the aspect ratio, so it's impossible to trim off unwanted bits of an image. I also tried just using the resizing handles on the image, and not bothering with the crop tool, but while that doesn't keep the aspect ratio when I hold down shift, it also crops the top and bottom or both sides at once, so it's impossible to do it that way, too!

I agree; it’s impossible to use. I’ve been cropping items in the design tool by drawing a rectangle around the area that I want to crop, and then using the Mask Tool—much like creating a clipping mask in Illustrator. It works, but it’s a PITA.

Oh boy, they are driving me nuts! thank you- I can't keep up with all the changes, and they are doing it right under my nose! LOL!
