Crop dimensions change wildly


Recommended Posts

In 1.8.4.693, I've noticed the following behavior of the Crop Tool:

  1. Open an image.
  2. Switch to Crop Tool.
  3. Switch to Unconstrained mode.
  4. Note the dimensions. For my image, the crop size defaults to 1050px x 590px.
  5. I change the Units from Pixels to Inches, and I see this in the Context Toolbar:

  6. I now type "8in" into the width box, and I get this:

  7. If I again type "8in" into the width field, I get this (note that the width changed to the same wrong value, but the height jumped to a wildly different value):

More information:
The Context Toolbar has two fields for the crop size, an input field for width and height, and an output field showing the resultiing crop size.

I start with the Context Toolbar showing this when I invoke the Crop Tool:

Both fields are consistent, and correct.

I change the units to inches, and I get this:

The input fields have been properly recalculated to be in inches. The output field has not changed. All is correct.

I then type a new width in the input field, and press Enter. If I use 8in I get this:

Note that the input fields now say inches, but both are really in pixels and match the Crop field. The values are correct for pixels, given that DPI. It's only the units in the width/height that are shown incorrectly.

I then type 8in into the width field again, and get this:
image.png.3c36e45bc84f7188baed088b4cfb56e5.png

Note that the width remains the same incorrect 576 inches (is really 576 px). And the height has become 42525 inches. The Crop size shows 45256 px as the height.

Where did that height come from?

If I again type 8in into the width field and press enter I get:

Again, notice the height value, which is now up to 3061800 inches. The units are wrong, but the value matches the shown crop height. But where did that height come from?

590.625 × 72 = 42525

42525 × 72 = 3061800

Thanks, Alfred. I hadn't gotten around to trying the calculations yet.
