Crop icon not there and Crop is grayed out

Is the correct layer selected?

Moved to the Photoshop Forum.

Can you post a screenshot of the whole interface including the layers ppanel?

for that crop feature you need to make a selection first. i don´t see that you made a selection.

use the crop icon on the left toolbar instead for cropping an image without making a selection first.

if you don´t see the crop icon there you have to edit the toolbar (the three points icon)

in your case press (longer) on the 5 icon from above and change from PERSPECTIVE CROP TOOL to CROP tool.

1. The Crop icon is behind the Perspective Crop icon
   
2. Make a selection to crop from the Image menu

is my message invisible?

Also, one way to take a screen shot using Windows is with the built-in Snipping Tool.

every time i come here i solve an issue and someone who gives the same answer 5 minutes later gets the points....

Tanja, I unmarked mine as correct so one of yours can be marked. I don't care about points.

i normaly do not care either.

but this is the 20st time or so i noticed this... so i do wonder if because of my sometimes harsh critics against adobe some mods here are biased.

Hi Tanja2014 und jane-e,

the crop tool is not available in all workspaces.

Maybe this thread is only a joke.

The tool palette is not standard and there is a stacking symbol in the left corner of the control bar. The TO doesn't show us the very important Layers palette.

Perhaps this is the 3D workspace - there is no crop available.

If is not a joke:

I think the solution is to change the workspace to normal. If this doesn't work - rasterize the layer and after then try to crop again.

What is this for a stacking symbol in the top left corner?

And did you noticed this helpful post?

Tanja2014, that has to be frustrating! Sometimes a post goes into the moderation queue until a moderator approves it (which is usually quick). I wonder if that is happening to you? If you think it is, pm me.
