PLShutterbug Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I am trying to crop an image in the Develop persona but cannot figure out to complete the crop. See attached screenshot … Can someone help? Please don’t suggest doing this in the Photo persona. I want to do it in Develop. Thanks in advance.

PLShutterbug Posted August 7, 2022 Author Share Posted August 7, 2022 Accidentally discovered that choosing another tool completed the crop. But … why isn’t there a “Done” button or equivalent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted August 7, 2022 Staff Share Posted August 7, 2022 Hi PL Shutterbug, You should be able to confirm the crop by double tapping the crop grid.

Thanks C @Callum, no - I just tried it. I double-tapped all over the grid: edges, intersections of thirds lines, in the middle, on the handles … none saved the crop.

Just to be on the safe side: the double tap gesture works when tapping inside the cropped area, not outside or at the edges.

Right. I am sending a video showing where all I double-tapped to try and close the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotMyFault Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 It seems you have a protective cover both on front and on backside of the iPad, and you are holding it in one hand. All these factors could lead to issues to correctly detect touch gestures. It happens to me (long time ago, not in this case) Could you try for a test to remove all these protective covers, and put the iPad on a table (not holding it in a hand)? I know this advice may sound strange to you, but it helped me (i personally owned 6 iPads over the years, 3 still in use) more than once. Only the pressure at the edges by holding in one hand caused a lot of issues. Same caused by some accumulated dust on the backside of another cover. I tested the crop function again on iPad 2017, iPad Pro 10.5“ 2018, iPad Air G5 / 2022 (in a Logitech keyboard hull), and it worked well on all of these. iPad OS latest and one version older.

Paul Mudditt Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 This is how it should work, with your finger, double tap in crop grid completes the crop OR tap any other tool to complete the crop. As stated above it may be your screen cover which is stopping your iPad working properly, alternatively, whenever an IOS device misbehaves it is always worth doing a Forced Restart to see if that fixes your iPad. I have had 5 iPads, never needed a screen cover. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/ipad/ipad9955c007/ipados IMG_2413.MOV Callum 1 Quote My dad always told me, a bad workman always blames their tools….
