Create Preset (for crop) is Greyed Out


Recommended Posts

I'm attempting to create a preset for Instagram (4:5 portrait), but the "Create Preset" button is greyed out. I'm using custom ratio. The only reason I can think of that's causing the problem is the 5:4 preset listed in Common Ratios. However, it's still greyed out when changing it to 5:4. Maybe the application considers them to be the same preset? If that's the case, is it possible to put a feature request in for duplicate crop ratio presets, but with different names?

Yes, 4x5 and 5x4 are considered to be the same. Have you tried using 5x4 and then clicking the Rotate button on the Context Toolbar?

You can make a feature request in Feedback for Affinity Photo on Desktop. You may even find one already written that you could post into to agree.

I'm also having trouble adding new crop sizes via the Create Preset button which is greyed out, it's my first time using it. I couldn't select a ratio first as 1.414:1 isn't an option for ISO paper sizes. If anyone can let me know where I am going wrong I'd be grateful.

I don't think you can create Presets for an Unconstrained crop. Try Custom Ratio.
