![]() Suggestion similar to what others have mentioned: If we want a fast workflow for handling many images, if we have default presets for most other parts, but crop mostly can’t be, then a few clicks in crop become a high percentage of the total work…for clicks/interactions that can easily be programmed away. The fewer clicks or interactions the better (duh), and almost all images need cropping (or at least the majority). I second the more automated crop behavior, at least as an optional config! ![]() Others, particularly ones you can’t drag around, not so intuitive for me. I’ve used quite a few crop tools, and I like the ones best that let you first shape the crop window size, then drag it around the frame to suit. I know my crop resolution is compromised, but I haven’t found a situation yet where it kept me from doing the crop I wanted. I like it much better, and it’s way more reliable. This past weekend, I scrapped it in favor of a separate smaller window for the crop tool, which constantly updates the display. User-wise, I never could come up with a scheme to show the finished crop either toggled over or somehow combined with the original image with the crop tool. Of all the tools I implemented, crop was the hardest.It didn’t help that my display window was coded to, well, display, and I struggled to implement a crop frame over, then eventually in, that window.I never completely debugged it, and certain combinations of tools around it would make it crash for reasons I never could divine. Is there any chance we could find a better way to do this in RawTherapee? I don’t want the Rule of Thirds guide to stay on my image once I have committed the crop: I do want it to reappear instantly, along with the rest of the image when if I once again enter cropping mode. I don’t want to have to press a different, special, key to zoom when the image is cropped. If I press a key to have my image fill the frame then I want the new crop to fill the frame, not for my image to shrink down if it is only a fraction of the main image. The new view of the image then becomes the default view of the image. Press a key to commit the crop, “Enter” maybe. Press a key to enter “cropping mode”, “C” seems like a good choice. ![]() The expected workflow goes something like this: It’s all very well to demonstrate ideological purity, but there is no need to bash the user over the head with it.Ĭropping is a common, simple task that is unnecessarily difficult to do in RawTherapee. It doesn’t matter how wonderful it is if people cannot use it.
