Using CS3, when I have a defined crop set ( in my case 750 px x 500 px at 72 dpi ), and first define the crop marquis on an image, then choose a corner to rotate the marquis a given amount......then click OK.....I get a crop that isn't rotated! What gives?

Hi Pete,
Here is a short movie about the Crop Tool <

Think of an image in terms of being a box. You can stand a box on its top, bottom or sides. But when you try to stand it on a corner...
If you want a diagonal "looking" crop, try this:
* Make a new layer
* Make the Background layer into a "proper" layer by renaming it.
* Move the new, empty, layer to beneath the image layer.
* Go Image>Canvas Size and make the canvas bigger by 50%
* Select the image layer and go Image>Transform then rotate the layer.
The "box" is still sitting correctly on the ground, but your image is displayed upon it in a diagonal fashion.
Hope this helps.
Chris.

I think this might be a known bug.

I'm not sure it is a bug, but a feature. It is impossible to have an image in PS that is not a rectangle. The rotate crop is so that you can take an off kilter image and straighten it. To me it works exactly as it should.

It's a bug.
If you enter a defined crop set that down-samples the image, and rotate the crop tool, it does not crop as expected. Been that way for years.
I've described it in-person to John Nack... shown it in-person to Julieanne Kost... Chris Cox had a Quality Engineer contact me to send examples...
still yet to be fixed.
