P: Crop to specific pixel dimensions

Pixel dimensions are a ratio, too, so if "they" could enter 1601x1149 as a pixel ratio for the crop and then the same numbers for the Export and the images actually came out exactly those dimensions then you'd be happy, right?

they simply need to match the pixels dimensions i specify not a ratio.

What is your crop ratio, then? If my math is correct, using Original as the crop ratio would resize down to 1601x1068-ish.

In any case, are you asking for Export to not preserve the aspect ratio of the crop but resize by different factors in the horizontal or vertical dimensions if need be to exactly match the Export pixel dimensions specified?

Steve,

In our example take a src img from D800 7360x4912. Attempt to export image to 1601x1149 you will get 1601x1144.

Crop is a ratio specified in Develop, and pixel Dimensions are specified in Export sizing.

Are you asking for a Crop parameters to dictate Export parameters, or are you asking for larger numbers to be allowed in the Custom crop dimensions and not have them simplified down to the smallest equivalent ratio so the math isn't so hard?

For example my monitor is 1680x1050 but Crop doesn't allow those large numbers, so I just use a custom entry of 168x105 as the equivalent ratio and it works fine as long as I also specify 1680x1680 in my Export sizing.

I built the plugin (XmpCrop - free), and I'd love to retire it.

It's better than nothing for a lot of people, but it's klunky (uses xmp modification, since crop settings not supported by SDK)

This needs to be a native feature.

At a minimum (if not willing to make it a native feature soon), consider allowing plugin access to crop settings, so at least it can be made less klunky - ditto for orientation - hopefully develop settings support can be made 100% complete.
