I’m using Photoshop 7 (not exactly an expert).

My crop tool seems to have gone funny! : (
When I try to use it… I can only expand and contract it in a rectangular shape of fixed ratio (erm… does that make any sense!?).

Does anyone know how I can change it so that I have a ‘free transform’?
Or am I stuck with this forever!!? :. (

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

When you select the Crop tool, you can see at the top bar "Width" & "Height". There are probably numbers in the boxes next to "Width" & "Height". Clear the boxes and you should be free again :o)

No, you’re only stuck until you click the "Clear" button on the Options Bar.
