Octiron Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Something I often use towards the end of my workflow in photoshop is the ability to lock the width and height of a marquee select to a specific ratio - e.g. 16:9, or odd things like 256:400. Then, when I drag over the image I can easily select a region of it for export with the right aspect ratio - or I can move, crop and trim to get things set up right. It would be very useful to be able to do the same in AD. I hope that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raskolnikov Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 For me it makes a lot of sense :) i was missing this option. When, in the future, the canvas can be cropped would be great to have it in the crop tool too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CartoonMike Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I would go as far as to say some kind of "Specified Ratio/Actual size" option in the Contextural Toolbar for Shapes, Ellipse, Rectangle and Rounded Rectangle as well as for the slice tool would be a good addition. Unchecked, this option would have no effect on what's drawn. Checked the user would enter in a value for Height and Width; another checkbox would make this either a Ratio or Actual size. Manga Studio has an option like this for its Rulers, Circle and Rectangle tools and I've found it very useful in certain instances.

Raskolnikov Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Would be great too being able to edit the name of the slice by double click on the title bar. And an option to center the slice with the shape which is going to be exported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great ideas, all of which I would have found very useful over the last few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
