you are using Leopard and did not clear your crop tool.

Or your preferences are corrupted. Trash them. And relaunch Photoshop.

As you launch Photoshop, immediately press and hold down the Command+Option+Shift keys until you see the dialog box.

Buko, it happens in Tiger as well.

It’s caused by tabbing in the crop tool (in tiger for me), PS wants a value then for some reason, it sticks in 0, then it says it cant handle that and rounds to a 1.

Funnily enough it hasn’t happened to me in leper’d.

For me, Leopard has been a lot better.

For a start I haven’t seen the crop tool thing appear. So far all my paths have saved with .ai on the end. (fingers crossed they don’t start to appear to fail over time like last time). My PC network drive refreshes on viewing. I can lock things to a grid on the desktop and I can change the size of that.

I’ve still got PDF’s crapping out if I open a few of them, so I don’t know whats causing that, but that’s an Adobe thing.

Even my monitor profile copied straight across.

Apart from a hiccup with MS’s vista and it’s inability to install on a system with two identical drives, it’s gone swimmingly. Even my eject button and bluetooth works in V64.
