Hi
I have to resize hundreds of photos to a particular odd size. I would usually just use an action script for this. But because I have to make them an odd size, I need to see each photo and crop by hand. It would be REALLY handy if I could use a selection box to crop which is always the same height.
In other words, right now, I go to image – image size – and make the image width what it needs to be, 720 px. Then I use the crop tool to cut it down to 250 px high. But to do this, I sort of guess at the right height for the crop selection, then have to go to canvas size, and make the canvas height 250 to get just right.
It would save a lot of time and headache, if, when I selected the crop tool, the height could be set to 250 px high, so that I could crop get the right bit of the photo in the reduced "window" of the crop. I want to have the height of the crop selection area be 250 px high, and be able to move that set sixe crop selection area around to select just the right area of the photo to keep rather than go back and forth with the canvas size ten times to get just the right area selected.
Kind of confusing….hope this question makes sense. Any ideas please? Would be very grateful!
Thanks
