I use image editing tools a lot at work (days on end) and have used them privately since photoshop had an eye on the icon. The Darktable tool works exactly as I would expect. I don’t have access to the proprietary alternatives right now but it would be interesting to know how they have solved it. Perhaps a different workflow is expected? It’s hard to judge tweaks when cropped away data is visible. I cant assess an image very well when cropped away data is visible and guides are shown. Perhaps I’m aiming to send out 12 images out of 400 to an AD or for display on a website. This means I need to be able to assess the images from the file browser tab. I frequently use the RT file browser to select files to be exported for various uses. Perhaps part of my expectations clash with RT ideas. I still can’t use RT perspective correction because it eats pixels and the cropping tool is also very unusual. It’s just curious that considering all the great tools in RawTherapee it’s the canvas altering tools that are most problematic. It could also be the existing code making some things a bit more difficult i guess. GitHub must somehow represent visually and conceptually that raw data isn’t deleted or modified.It’s as if cropping and perspective correction Make perspective correction not crop the image My speculation is that the concept of not touching the raw data is influencing the design of some tools in problematic ways. The zoom to crop icon is now superflous and should be removed. Potentially the dashed outline (not guides) is visible in File Browser and Editor as an indication that the file is cropped. The thumbnails will now display only the crop as if the other data is gone. c or icon/toggle click exits crop mode, hides cropped data in Editor and File Browser, hides grid lines.Dragging the crop frame around is possible by just click-dragging inside the crop mask.The full extent of the raw capture is revealed.Alternatively an on off toggle is used for crop mode? The crop icon is highlighted strong to indicate active tool mode. The crop tool would be activated by c or click on crop icon. What would solve the issue for me is, as someone mentioned above, a different active-tool logic. On the whole I’m afraid it doesn’t solve my issues with the tool but the grid tweak is an improvement. Having guide lines visible only when dragging works for me but i’d prefer them not to be visible in the file browser.I’ve noticed that I can “get out” of the auto zoom by manually zoming or using f but this isn’t very transparent or expected. The auto-zoom-to-crop behavior makes it difficult to tweak your crop when you mistakenly made it to tight.It’s not a precision tool, nor does it have the rich selection of aspect ratios, but it gets the crop job done.Ĭompiled crop-tweaks branch commit 0ac3bafb I cobbled together the crop tool mainly to get something going, but I find it works really well, so I’m keeping it. When the image is saved to a file, the product of the last tool is used. The next tool added would be working on the cropped image. In this case, the crop tool is the first one in the chain, working on the opened JPEG. Of note about rawproc is that it is a successive application of tools, one working on the previous tool’s output. Oh, the Parameters pane can be drug from the dock and made larger, which I occasionally do in order to have a bigger crop tool with which to work. The crop rectangle can be dragged around the image by mouse-dragging anywhere in the rectangle. The crop rectangle is pretty simple it has two resize targets: the yellow one maintains original aspect, and the red one is free-form. The tool is in the Parameters pane, lower left.
