Question

Crop Aspect Ratio - Shortcuts

Hi everyone,

I don't think this feature is there, been searching high and low.

My biggest issue is having to go through batch photos and cropping, it takes a huge amount of time to use the mouse to select an aspect ratio to which I want the photo to crop at.

There are some awesome shortcuts for overlays, rotate crop landscape and portrait, but nothing that can cycle through the Aspect Ratios, or am I missing something somewhere?

Thanks for taking the time to read this in hopefully input.

Kind Regards,

Timmy

A couple of things that might help your workflow:

- Crop one photo to a given aspect ratio. Then select all the other photos that should have the same ratio, and copy/paste or sync the crop from the first photo to the others.

- The Any Crop plugin lets you assign keyboard shortcuts to specific crop presets.  On Mac, you use the built-in keyboard shortcut facility of System > Preferences; on Windows, you can either use the standard menu-accelerator keys (e.g. ALT F U 1 ) or you can use a free utility like AutoHotkey.

Thank you John, and sorry for the late reply. Will most definitely need to look into those methods and try them out. Really appreciate the input.

You are missing nothing. As far as I know there are no shortcuts for this.
