I have 2 layers. When I crop the one, the other one is cropped, too. I don't know why this happens. I tried restarting my computer and reinstalling Pts but they don't work. Please help me!

Thank you so much!

Here are the original layers

Image Crop crops the image not just one layer

Try this

Make your selection then, with the layer you want to cut down selected in the layers panel , go to Layer - Layer Mask - Reveal Selection (or click this symbol at the bottom of the layers panel )

This will add a mask showing the layer in the area you selected but showing the layer(s) below elsewhere.

Apparently you do not understand what Image > Crop is supposed to do.

If you do not want to crop the image but a Layer just apply a Layer Mask to the Layer or invert the Selection and delete (though that may leave content that is off-canvas).

As the Layer you seem to want to crop is a Smart Object deleting is not an option so apply the Selection as a Layer Mask (Layer > Layer Mask > Reveal Selection) instead.
