There are tedious things about the cropper even when it's behaving normally, such as switching back to landscape mode from portrait when selecting a new aspect ratio, or sometimes shrinking the selection to an absurdly small size after the same action (although this is less repeatable, for me). I actually took a good hard look at the code for that module, thinking that even with my very limited skills, I could create a patch to enhance some of it's behavior, but I got scared and ran away. It's not quite as hackable as I would have thought, other than modifying some grids. My thoughts for other enhancements that seem reasonable for such a primary module include: * detect orientation of image, and apply initial aspect ratio selection in same orientation * allow for user-adjusted opacity of grids, perhaps as a global "opacity bias" gui option that could apply to some other line drawing elements as well, such as the circles in the Spot Removal module, etc. * an "expand from center" ability when adjusting crop rectangle (unless this already exists in a way I don't know about) I wish I could offer more than talking about it... any thoughts? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
