Comments By default, the Crop tool in the Adobe Camera Raw dialog box is designed to crop to a chosen aspect ratio rather than a specific size. To define a specific size select “Custom…” from the Crop tool drop down menu and choose from Pixels, Inches or Centimeters. To define the resolution, click on the Workflow Options at the bottom of the ACR dialog box and enter the desired resolution. Now you can open a file that is a specific height, width and resolution as oppose to simply an aspect ratio.
Where does the symbol for crop tool come from?
The crop icon in Photoshop is based on a manual cropping tool. Here is an example.
Hi Julieanne
In camera Raw
I’m trying to save a custom crop (1:2) in camera raw dialogue. I use this ratio a lot. But it disappears after I switch to anther crop, requiring me to set it up again.
Hi Paul, ACR in Photoshop only keeps track of the last used custom crop aspect ratio – It would be great if it could “remember” more. I have posted the suggestion here to get the community involved.
