When using the cropping tool, the selection line or border is very hard to see against the image.
Is there a way of making it stand out more clearly? Confused

Make your selection with the crop tool then look at the options at the top. Check shield and select the color you want and the opacity.

Brilliant...thanks.

I seem to have forgotten how to do it or had set my previous setting some time ago and then upgraded and lost it.

I am using a mid blue/grey with 38% opacity.
