i having issues with photoshop... every time i try to crop and image it takes like 10 minutes and then once its about done cropping(loading the crop) it says some stupid shit that i never pay attention too. can anyone help me?

 

10 minutes?? For me it takes like a 1/4 of a second to crop something.

Next time read what it says afterwards.

 

yea... maybe try reading what it says.

 

i gave up and deleted photoshop lol

 

nnoooo..bad job. we coulda help'd ya out

 

well i just re-downloaded it and it still doesnt crop it will say progress crop have a percent bar and not move.. then once it sits there for like 5 minutes it just shuts ps down.

 

this is what it does... it just lags out there is supposed to be a picture there not a blank background and i closed my start list like 10 minutes before taking this screeny.

 

anyone got an idea?

 

yeah
its because your image is 500 by 200 INCHES!!!! lol. you got a picture thats 41 feet by 16 feet. that is a SHITLOAD of picture lol.

resize it to 500 by 200 PIXELS. i think you are using CS? go to image/image size or image scale, and set the units to pixels instead of inches.

 

heres a picture of mine. i use ps 7.0

the image menu is open and the "Image Size" is whats highlighted in gray. if i click that Image Size option, it brings up the Image Size box that is shown. notice i got that width set to 500 pixels, not inches. same with height. right below that, you can see that 500 pixels by 200 pixels equals out to about 6.9 x 2.7 inches. a lot different than 500 by 200 inches. that is so much work for the computer to even mess with something like that, it just freezes or shuts down or something, unless you are working with some amazing super computer or somethnig. just remember to change them inches to pixels. also, maybe try changing the resolution to 72 pixels per inch, instead of 300. that might be better too, but i know your main prob is just the inches thing.
