Hello there,

Is is possible to use the wand to make a selection, invert it then crop in one move?

Thanks

As far as I know, you can only crop in squares. So if the inverted wand selection is not a square, I am not sure it will crop. If it does, it will most likely be a square around the edges of the wands selection.

Good luck,
Steve

You can crop to any selection under Image>Crop. The result will be rectangular but the old requirement that it be a rectangular, non-feathred selection went out with 5.5.

Use Image-> Crop to crop to your selection; if you want to do it in *one* move, you’ll have to create an action. Not sure it’s worth it though 🙂

Cheers

Yea, and prior to that (heck, even witih v7, which I still use because I don’t have an urge to upgrade to CS) I used a selection filter I wrote (for Windows) called bounding box:

There are times when having a bounging box _selection_ is handy, even separate from cropping an image.

And yea, the select/invert/crop bit won’t happen in a single operation – you’d have to use an action.
