Photoshop, or Photoshop Elements / Apple or PC?

But the only reason Final Cut Pro doesn't exist on the Windows platform
is because Final Cut Pro is owned by Apple.

So saying Macs are great for video editing is rather silly when the
choice is purposely limited to increase hardware sales, now isn't it?

Huh?

Saying "Macs are great for video editing" is a demonstrable allegation
regardless of purpose.

It's a thing unto itself.

It's only silly if it's false.

And, sorry, it isn't.

The truth of that fact is quite clearly demonstrated by the number of
organizations using it to produce mission critical video. Sitcoms,
feature films, etc. etc. etc.

It's a fine application - as are quite a few others on other platforms.
(Vegas, Premier, Avid, etc.)

BTW, Business Week Online just published the Boston Consulting Groups
worldwide survey (they surveyed 900+ top executives in 60+ countries)
asking who THEY consider the most "innovative" worldwide companies
today.

Apple tops the list by a pretty wide margin.

Food for thought.

When last I saw news published figures on computer sales in Europe,
Apple had but 2% of the market. In the US, it was 2.8%. Regardless of
how good some think Apple computers are, commonly used programs are
genarally first written for PC's then maybe a year later they would be
available for Apples.

FWIW, the local state university has a student computer room, in which
there are 109 PC's available for student use and 6 Mac's available for
student use. The most common personal laptop used by the students, as
seen on campus is a PC.

The rectangular marquee tool also has "Fixed Aspect".

That said, I agree with you. The crop tool should have this functionality.
