Crop Tool defaults to "Custom Ratio"

[im140.6]

When I press "C" or select the crop tool, it defaults to Mode: Custom Ratio - a value that I input when I was exploring the app a couple of days ago. Is there a way to make the default behavior as Mode: Original Ratio?

Thank you.

Hi Im140.6,

Welcome to the forums

There is no way to do this as far as I'm aware I'm afraid.

Thanks

It appears you are correct that Crop cannot default to the Mode 'Original Ratio';  however there may be a potentially helpful work-around.  If one selects a crop preset (gear icon in version 1.7), that selection will become the default until subsequently changed (selecting the modes Unconstrained and Original Ratio will release a preset as a default).  If im140.6 has a series of images that have a size that's in the presets, use that.  If they're not in the presets, a custom preset can be added.

As a feature request, I would like to see 'Original Ratio' added to the presets and behave like other presets by becoming the default until subsequently changed.  How does that request get communicated?

 

after I posted the above, I learned that crop preset apparently (per other posts) can only be created for "standard ratios", whatever that is...ugh

By posting a topic in the appropriate Feature Requests forum. It is possible that Callum will save you the trouble of making another topic by moving this one.

Edit: Or, by finding an existing request in that forum and adding your own post to that topic to concur with it.
