In 1.6 absolute size in crop tool was absolute size. Now absolute size only keeps aspect ratio. How to crop to desired size?

Use Unconstrained mode. It seems that "absolute" now means that that after cropping the picture gets resized to specified size.

Yes, I don't know if it is a bug or just a really poorly named feature. It acts like a resize canvas and resample all in one. Not too sure if I can find a use for it, have to put on my lateral thinking hat again.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Many Photoshop users were complaining that Photo did not have a way of cropping an arbitrary piece of an image and ending up with a specified output size. That's how the Absolute Size option for Cropping works now in Photo, so I assume it's deliberate, not a bug.

Edit: I think there is at least one bug in the way that the initial crop box is sized when using Absolute Size, and I have posted about that elsewhere. But I think the actual crop/resize/resample function is probably working as Serif intends.
