I’ve found that when using the crop tool presets in Photoshop 7, the opacity of the cropping shield defaults to 75%. Is there a way to save this setting to something other than 75%?
Thanks in advance.
You can make your own new preset with any color or opacity you like. Just choose your settings and Crop, then choose New Preset from the flyout on the tool dropdown on the Options Palette. In fact by using the Preset Manager you can save whole sets of your own custom presets to use when you like.
Yes, I would think you are right, except I have tried that and it doesn’t work. The problem here is that the shield settings are not available on the options palette until you select a cropping area. The only options available before selecting a cropping area is width, height and resolution. Once you select a cropping area, the flyout button is greyed out on the options palette so you can’t get to the menu to save the settings.
