My neighbor brought a problem to me which I could not solve. He is running Photoshop CS3 10.0.1 on XPSP2. When he crops something at an angle, the resultant image is way off — it is not what is within the crop mark. Any idea what is happening here?

I have CS2 and it works fine for me.

It is a crop tool bug that has been around for freakin’ ever. If you rotate your crop marquee AND resample (down sample) you can get a distorted image that does not follow the crop lines.
Use real units of measure in the crop setting (inches, cm… NOT pixels) or leave blank, and leave resolution blank. Resize the image after you rotate+crop.
