Crop propotion ... no please!


Recommended Posts

SInce I love to rage about basic bugs that remain in the SW for ages ... please tell me I'm the idiot!

I'm cropping a (large) picture with a preset of 1440x600px (of course this just keeps the proportion) - Basic functionality
 I'm exporting the same picture in JPG reducing  the horizontal dimension to 1440px in the export dialog.... 
and the automatic vertical dimension in the export dialog ist 560px... plus minus ... REALLY??? And you spend ressources on Publisher for IPad??????

and I try to keep calm... very calm ... really I try! Upset seems to be a moderate word. Switching back to PS 6.0 for this project! 
Each time I switch back to Affinity Photo to give it another chance ... it takes 30 minutes to come across such an basic .. arrggg

Frustrated, Timo

I dont see that, Timo. I didn't use your proportions, but the results of cropping to a particular ratio/dimension or of simply exporting to the same horizontal dimension is the same.

Can you provide a sample file where that happens to you?

Changing the size to 1440 in the Export dialog gives me an automated with of 960, same as Photoshop.

A sample document and the exact steps you're making will help us Timo. If there's something wrong that needs fixing, we need all the info we can get to make sure it is reported to the developers correctly.

perhaps I am the idiot here.. since I do not understand the question at all.

1. Timo opens an image
2. he crops this image to x by y
3. he exports this image.

why does he reduce the width to x pixels during export?
the image already is x pixels wide = no need to change anything...

hmm.. 
I know this is not helpful for Timo, but interesting for me, not understanding the issue...

kind regards
Fritz

If you have an image that has a ratio of 1440:600, or you crop an image to that ratio, then when you set the long side to 1440px in the export dialog, the short side will automatically change to 600.  How do you wind up with 960 ???

I think I was opening up a specific image on both apps and not paying attention. 

I do know I was not opening a 1440 x 600 image though because Timo said he was using that as a crop preset and I assumed his image was bigger than that (otherwise why would he be cropping?).

I am not experiencing that. What I did experience was that I forgot to select custom ratio:

If you don't it is possible to adjust the 1440 x 600 selection freely... without noticing it, but believing it is kept proportional by Photo. And then discovering a different in the export dialog.
