How do I use the crop tool to snap to the image's edge? (v2 mac ver.)

[kyleol]

Snap icon is selected and enabled everything. But crop tool wont snap to the edge of the image...

Try unchecking Snap to spread and Include spread mid points

By “snap to the edge of the image” do you mean:

• Snap to a boundary edge of the image/pixel layer, or;
• Snap to the furthest extent of the part of the image where the pixels change from being fully-transparent to being non-fully-transparent, or;
• something else?

The Crop Tool does not snap to objects within your document, including placed images

But it will snap to guides, so snap a guide to your image then snap the crop to the guide

Thank you for this workaround! Crop tool snaps to selections too. so instead using guides, I click on the layer thumbnail while pressing command to make it a selection.

I found the solution from somewhere else, but I think it's worth mentioning it here for others:

Enable snapping but uncheck "Only snap to visible objects". Cheers!

That is good to know, but it seems like a bug since if for example a rectangle shape is visible, then I would expect the Crop Tool to snap to it regardless of that setting.
