Subject: [Leica] Photoshop Gurus: CS3 crop limitation question

To any LUG Photoshop gurus:

I am running Cs3 on a Windows XP machine with 4 GB RAM and a 1 TB
scratch drive. Memory allocation in CS3 is set to max. I am
experimenting with using Bridge/Photoshop photo merge function to
stitch 16-bit converted .dng files into long panoramas (9x25
inches/200 MB when layers are flattened = pretty typical). So these
are whopping big files. Here's the question:

I seem to be having trouble with the crop tool. I can't drag it the
length of the image -- it sort of stops 2/3 of the way across the
frame. It is as if it has a limitation on the width of the crop.
What's up? I can use the canvas size tool to roughly get where I want
to go, but I don't understand the dynamic in Photoshop. No other
images are open.

Any ideas?
