How can i set the default crop ratio to always be unlocked for every image that i try to edit? Its so annoying to always have to hit the A key to unlock it. If i want it locked then i'll lock it back. Why should i be told what i want?
View 6 RepliesI normally crop to ratio 4:3 (8x6) for printing,but just very recently the crop does not stick to it's ratio when reaching the outer borders.(especially if changing orientation from Landscape to portrait).If pulled It just keeps expanding to almost a square ratio before it stops.Obviously the padlock is locked and it is something that never used to happen.
View 37 Replies View RelatedUsing LR2, and processing a large number of images, I always crop to a 6x4 ratio. However, this seems to need to be manually set on each image. I can set up other processing settings as a pre-set, but not the crop. It wants to go to Original for each image.
Is there a way to skip this manual step and always crop to the 6x4 ratio?
how I can constantly maintain the aspect ratio lock when cropping.
When I unlock it, every image after that seems to also be unlocked.
I want to set a default to have it locked.
I want to crop a whole selecton of pictures with the same aspect ratio. I shoot my pictures in 4:3 and I want to use Lightroom to crop them all for example to 16:9. So I have only to adjust the size and it's done!
I use Lightroom 4.4
I can't find the aspect ratio crop tool in my Lightroom 4. Is there someplace in the settings I can turn that option on?
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a sudden change of behavior in Lightroom 4.4, Mac OS 10.7.5.
In the past, when I chose the crop tool, with the locked icon in the locked position, when I adjusted the crop, the crop was constrained to the original aspect ratio of the photo. Now, no matter what I do, the crop is kind of "partly" constrained. That is, I start with a vertical image, then drag the crop down so that the crop rectangle has a horizontal aspect ratio, I can drag up on the horizontal crop rectangle so that the original aspect ratio is no longer preserved. Until the aspect ratio has gone horizontal, the original aspect ratio is preserved. It doesn't matter if the lock is locked or unlocked, or whether I hold the shift key or not.
Here's an example:
at this point, the crop is still vertical, with aspect ratio constrained. It's still "as shot" and the padlock icon is locked
Here, the crop is now horizontal, but the aspect ratio is still constrained, "as shot" and still the icon is locked.
Now, things have gotten wonky. When the right edge of the crop hits the edge of the photo, it's possible to drag it upwards. The aspect ration is no longer constrained, and even though the padlock icon is locked the aspect is now "Custom"
As I said, this is new behavior which I have never seen since the version of Lightroom included the crop tool (I started at Lightroom 1.0). Like they all say "I haven't changed anything", but something obviously has changed. I don't believe this is correct behavior, or the behavior I've been used to for years. Is there any way to think this is the correct behavior?
I noticed it sometimes happens on some (most) photos, but not all, and will seemingly randomly start/stop working properly on photos that weren't/were working just minutes before.
Lightroom Crop aspect ratio lock no longer remembers the last setting. Everytime it is unlocked. Is this a bug in the new version? or is there some new way to define the default state?

View 3 Replies View RelatedIt seems that with the 4.4 update a bug was introduced with the crop aspect ratio not staying locked when cropping. It changes to "custom" even though the lock remains. What do I do to maintain a standard photo size and not switch to custom? For printing purposes, I need the ratio to stay locked and dimensions standard.

I just started using 2012. Two problems:
1- Somehow, in my current drawing, everything is layer-locked. There are no Xrefs in this very basic drawing. All layers are unlocked. Yet, any attempt to select any entities results in "x objects were on a locked layer". Again, all layers are unlocked. No Xrefs. No blocks. Just simple lines. All entities appear faded. This happened after viewing a layout in both paper and model spaces. Reviewing the text window shows no strange accidental commands.
2- There is a default set of viewport scales in the status bar at the bottom right. Default scales are all metric. I would like both metric and imperial. I see you can edit which exact scales are in a metric list, and which are in an imperial list. But how do you set what is displayed/available in the status bar button?
I have a large number of RAW photos from a Canon 7D which are destined for use in a Premiere Pro CS6 project.
I want to crop each of them to the preset 16x9 1920 x 1080.
What I would like to happen is that when I open the photo in the develop module and press the R button to open the Crop and Straighten tool, that the Aspect 16X9 crop overlay is selected be default, rather then the "original".
This would save me a lot of mouse clicks...
Or perhaps it's possible to assign a keyboard shortcut to that particular aspect so I can press R and then something else?
How do i keep the "Constrain to Crop" box checked by default? Every single time i import images into lightrooom i have to check this box and then sync. I could save so much time if it were automatically checked.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI've been using the crop tool without any knowledge of the little boxes you can fill in to restrict its WxH dimensions. I always wanted my crops to come out at a 2:3 ratio and could never get them perfect since I was just eyeballing it.
So then I found the WxH controls and if I put "2 in" for width and "3 in" for height, my image will come out as desired, no scaling of the image, but with the unfortunate side effect that my DPI has been changed, which causes problems for me later on. Now if I put "2 in" x "3 in" and then specify 72dpi in the "resolution" field, it will actually scale my image which is not what I want either. Now if I put "2 px" by "3 px" of course it will massively scale my image, which again is not what I want.
What I want is to re-crop my image to a 2:3 ratio, WITHOUT scaling, AND without modifying DPI. Is this possible with the crop tool? It seems that my WxH numbers are required to have units after them and I don't want any of those units (inches, px, mm, etc). I want unitless cropping, basically cropping by ratio. Does this make any sense?
I have a work-around which involves batch resetting all my DPI's at the end of the session. But that adds another step to my workflow which is not a very elegant solution.
I cant define a ratio in the crop dialog box. I leave the resolution empty because I dont want to resample. I just enter the value in the width and length box (just numbers without units) and crop. But it will still crop the photo with the default unit.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a simple way to constrain a crop to a certain aspect ratio? I have a bunch of cropping to do and the results all need to be 5:3. It's not that difficult to use the info palette and get the aspect ratio right but it would be way quicker if I could just constrain the crop tool to those proportions.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have images of varying sizes that I need to all be cropped to a specific aspect ratio in the center of the image and extending either to the side edges or the top and bottom depending on using the maximum portion of the image. How do you set up an action to do this.
If I were to do this by hand, I would use the rectangle marquee, change to fixed ratio, and drag from one edge to the other. They move the selection to the center (as best I could) . Then do Image<Crop?
But I need to automate this process and have have it exactly positioned in the center. Can this be automated in an action? If so, how?
FYI, I have CS5 (and CS6). I am comfortable using the image processor. So as long as I have an action set up, I can process all of my images using the image processor. I also have lightroom 4 if there is some way to do it there.
I just went through and cropped a bunch of images as a 5x7. When I re-opened the images to put our studio logo on them (using an action) the images are a similiar ratio to the 5x7 size that I cropped the image, but they are not actually a 5x7 so my action no longer puts the logo in the correct place on the image. Is there a way to get the crop tool to not give me a ratio but actually size the image to the size that I input into the boxes? I don't want to have to re-do all of my logo actions to fit the ratios.

I can't just change the pixels to 640x360 because that would distort the images as the current aspect ratios are not 16:9.

View 10 Replies View RelatedIn Photoshop CS6, if using Free Transform to change the size of a newly-made selection, you have to click 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' option every time to maintain the aspect ratio. How annoying is that! Why isn't this 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' option selected by default? Certainly in my case, there are vastly more occasions when I want to maintain the aspect ratio, and so, in my case at least, it would be much more user-friendly to have 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' selected, by default. Or, alternatively, why isn't there an option in Preferences to either have 'Maintain Aspect Ratio' automatically selected, or unselected, by default, leaving the user to toggle from this starting position, if they want?
