Crop to a specific aspect ratio?


Recommended Posts

Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't see how to crop a photo to a specific aspect ratio (4:3, 3:2). There are a few options in the Mode menu when the crop tool is selected, but not enough. I think every photo editor in the world gives you a number of aspect ratio options, and also lets you choose whether the aspect ratio is appealing to portrait or landscape mode. I find it surprising that I have to pull out a calculator to get the aspect ratio I want. What am I missing?

Crop modes

When cropping, you may wish to work unconstrained or to specific ratios or absolute dimensions. These are some of the options available:

  • Unconstrained—The crop area can be sized freely.
  • Original Ratio—Retains your image's original aspect ratio.
  • Custom Ratio—Uses the adjacent input boxes to set the ratio—width in the left box, height in the right box. Can be saved as a preset.
  • Absolute Dimensions—Use the adjacent input boxes to set absolute dimensions for the crop area. Set your Units if needed. Can be saved as a preset.
  • Presets—A combination of commonly used, and custom saved, presets are presented for ease of use.
