Crop direction not respected

Hi

I created presets for Instagram cropping, one in landscape mode, the other one in portrait (1080 x 566 & 1080 x 1350).

If I use one format, the other one got its dimensions exchanged. For example, if I use portrait, the landscape format becomes 566 x 1080.

Hi Gabe

Sorry for the late reply.

I just tested in the 1.8.3 version. Seems to be the same but after several tests, I can tell that the crop dimensions are changed depending of the image layout.

For example the Insta portrait cropping preset (1080x1350) will become automatically 1350x1080 on a landscape layout photo. I can understand the logic behind but it should be possible to specify that the chosen dimensions are absolut, not dependant of the image format.

Thanks for the follow up on that.

Is there any news on this? Right now, when I have an image with a portrait ratio and want to create a crop preset for it, I need to set the dimensions the other way around in order to make the preset work. This is very annoying. An example:

1. Open an image in portrait format.
2. Select the crop tool, set mode to Resample.
3. For dimensions, enter 1200 px x 1845 px.
4. Save these settings as a preset.
5. Load the preset and the crop frame is now 1845 px x 1200 px.

This means that from preset you created from a portrait format crop frame, you get a landscape format crop frame back. Because it works the other way around as well, I can get the desired result by exchanging the width and height before creating the preset. But why does Affinity Photo not simply respect the order of the edit fields in the first place?
