Photoshop CS6 crop question?
In CS4, you could restrict the movement of the crop frame by holding down the shift key as you drag the crop frame either left-right or up-down. This feature does not work in CS6. Is there some alternate (new) technique to make the crop frame move in a purely straight line direction when you move it right-left or up-down?
Thanks, but this does not address the situation I am describing. Let me try again. When you first select the crop tool, it will open up to the full borders of the image, at least in one aspect. Suppose the image ratio is the typical 3:2 and you select the 4x5 (8x10) crop ratio. The outline will appear completely centered in the image with the crop frame touching the top and bottom borders of the image and one inch from each end shaded out. Suppose I want to keep the full height of the crop, but move the frame a little to the left. If I simply drag the crop frame to the left (classic mode), I might slip and move it a tiny bit above or below the image. This will create a blank band along the corresponding border of the image. I could use "Snap to..." to fix this, but it is an additional step. I used to be able to just hold the shift key down while dragging the crop frame and it would not jump above or below the frame.

Grab the CENTER of the side or top of the frame. (For instance, move your cursor to the top of the frame. You'll see a little box in the middle of the outline. Grab it and move it down. You can do the same at the bottom or the sides). It takes a little getting used to. I'm sure there's still a way to do it the "old way" but I've gotten so used to doing it the "new" way that I don't even think about it anymore.
