Custom crop

[MarkT]

This seems odd. Open an image. Open Crop, use Arbitrary proportions and click Apply or OK, and all is fine.

Open image, Crop with Custom proportions (1920 x 1080), click Apply or OK, image is cropped in correct shape.

Open image, Crop with Custom proportions (1920 x 1080), use Resize and Resample to 1920 pixels wide @300 dpi, image is cropped and resized to 8 pixels wide. Set the above custom parameters to Default settings, when Crop is re-opened, the Resize value is changed to 08 pixels. I think "8" is the default value in inches when Resize is first checked. Perhaps "8" is hard-coded in there somewhere?

Fixed for next release - the entered values of the size and dpi were not being read.

Hi Jonathan,

So now images open with the correct orientation, but the crop issue persists: Custom cropped images end up with 8 pixels in width... 8.0 Alpha 31-Mar-2018.

That last change just missed the current update and is in the next one.

Talking about crop, will there be a possibility to define own grid (PWP7 Guidelines) in the future?

[jsachs]

No immediate plans, but I could do it - just out of curiosity, what would you use it to create?

Edwin Westhoff's Diagonal Method

I practically use only this metod in PWP7.

I am working on restoring composition guides to Crop. I added a built-in Westhoff-style Diagonal Method grid option since this cannot be implemented by a simple composition guide.

Good news, thanks
