Crop tool in PS

[Jeremy Roussak]

When I use the crop tool in Photoshop CS3, the marquee "snaps" outwards to the edge of the image as I approach and won't then leave the edge until I move the mouse far enough to make it leap several pixels inwards. This makes an accurate crop of a small amount of dead space rather tricky to achieve.

Is there a way to turn this behaviour off? I've looked in PS help and tried pressing various modifers, but to no avail.

I've not encountered the problem before: I suppose my cropping must always have been cruder in the past.

Mac OS 10.5, in case it makes any difference.

TIA

Hold the Control key when moving the handles to defeat the snap to behavior...

Unless I'm misunderstanding the question, in PSCS3 its as simple as toggling View->Snap To and turning on or off whichever behaviour you want.

Wow, Jeff - a reply in 32 minutes! I bet you'll beat the half hour when I post my next question.

Thank you both. Ken's solution makes permanent that which Jeff's accomplishes temporarily.

Maybe I'm just trying to justify my failure of imagination, but isn't the View menu a ludicrous place to put the Snap items? They have nothing to do with what you view on screen: "snap to" is an editing function. Ah well.
