Photoshop :: Crop Ratio In CS3

Jul 12, 2007

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.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Re-crop By "ratio"

Jan 22, 2008

I'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.

Photoshop :: Constraining A Crop To A Specific Aspect Ratio?

Jun 14, 2006

Is 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.

Photoshop :: How To Create Action To Crop To Specific Aspect Ratio

Jun 7, 2012

I 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.

Photoshop :: Doesn't Crop As Size Indicated / Crops As Larger Ratio

May 30, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: Create Action To Bulk Crop Images To 16:9 Aspect Ratio?

Jul 16, 2013

how to create an action or script that could take all images in a folder and crop them to an aspect ratio of 16:9 and then resize them to 640x360?

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

Lightroom :: Crop Doesn't Stick To Its Ratio

Lightroom :: Retaining Crop Ratio In Editing?

Nov 22, 2011

Using 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?

Lightroom :: Crop Tool Won't Constrain Aspect Ratio In 4.4

Aug 13, 2013

This 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 Not Staying Locked When Cropping

Apr 29, 2013

It 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.

Photoshop :: Preset Crop Tool Not Matching Image Size After Crop

Jul 1, 2013

I am a labtech at a community college and look after 48 mac pros in which the students use the entire creative suite. (I only mention this becuase any answers need to consider variations in system settings or photoshop settings. college students get into everything!)
 
But the issue is when you select the crop tool and enter a custom constraint and crop
 
The image size is sometimes a full 2 inches off of what you set as a crop?! I havn't run into this before

[I do know you can use the drop down box and use {size and resolution} but I want to know why it doesnt work under custom and unconstrained]

GIMP :: Missing Crop Tool Which Can Rotate Crop Rectangle?

I am missing a crop tool which can rotate the crop rectangle. Similar to photoshop's tool. I found no way to rotate the crop rectangle in gimp. How do you cut out something from an image if it needs to be rotated while cropping? I tried rotating first then cropping but it does not give me enough precision so I end up with transparent areas at the border.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Won't Let Me Crop

Oct 25, 2004

I am having a problem with the crop tool. It will not crop the area I want; it goes to a point and stops. It's as if it has a mind of it's own and I can't direct it. I thought it might be the mouse so I took it apart and cleaned it, and then I put a different mouse in. It still does the same thing.

Photoshop :: Crop Tool Prior To CS6 Vs Perspective Crop Tool

Feb 26, 2013

In the old days, one could just use the crop tool and, while drawing crop lines, check the perspective box if you found that you needed to change the perspective. With CS6 if you start with the crop tool, and find you want to change the perspective, you have to change tools to the new perspective crop tool. In the process, you have to tell the newly opened dialog box that you don't want to crop, to get to the perspective tool, which now has reset to its defaults. You've lost your cropping and you have to start over.
