pjglad Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I am trying to create a 2.25 : 3.25 crop preset for wallet size photos. When I enter 2.25 it truncates to 2. Why is that? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted May 9, 2016 Staff Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi Pjglad, Towards the top left hand side of the app when you are using the Crop Tool you should see a Mode drop down. If you set this to Absolute Dimensions it should resolve your issue :) C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

pjglad Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share Posted May 9, 2016 Thanks, but let me re-ask my question. How do I create an aspect ratio preset for 2.25 : 3.25? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 9, 2016 Staff Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi pjglad, Select the Crop Tool, go to the Mode dropdown in the context toolbar and select Custom Ratio then insert the values you want in the width x height fields and press Enter. Now to save it go to the Mode dropdown again and select Add Preset. Give it a name and press OK. The new preset will be added to the list.

rdksl Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 @pjglad: you can simply enter 225 and 325 instead of 2.25 and 3.25. As it is ratio, it doesn't matter. I attached a short video on how to make that. croppreset.mov pjglad and Leigh 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 9, 2016 Staff Share Posted May 9, 2016 Just don't enter the point in the middle. This is a ratio not specific dimensions. EDIT: @rdksl was too fast.

rdksl Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Also you can choose Mode: Absolute Dimensions, choose inch units and enter the exact 2.25 in and 3.25 in values. Callum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 9, 2016 Staff Share Posted May 9, 2016 @rdksl That will create a crop with those exact dimensions, not a ratio as @aspjglad is requesting. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdksl Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 @MEB:Sorry, my bad, didn't realize you can't resize that with constraining the ratio.... :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
