Number Six 51 Posted November 8, 2014 Probably a stupid question but, as far as QC is concerned, are there any problems associated with using the 'No Restriction' option for cropping? I've only ever used the 'Use Photo Ratio' option but have just come across an image where cropping using a standard ratio doesn't really work. Appreciate any views and, if it is a dumb question, I'll blame it on Parkin's Special Bitter... Cheers John Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin P Wilson 1,131 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I often use unconstrained cropping, usually to a squarer format. There is nothing magic or sacrosanct about the "standard" image formats. Crop it as the picture needs - I try not to crop too tightly so as to leave designers room to manouever Edited November 8, 2014 by Martin P Wilson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Number Six 51 Posted November 9, 2014 Martin - many thanks for your reassuring comment about not necessarily adhering to 'standard' image formats. It was just something I had not really thought about before. I also take your excellent point about not cropping too tightly. Indeed, I try not to crop normally for that very reason.

clupica 16 Posted November 9, 2014 4:3 and 1:1 cropped images show up as larger thumbnails on Alamy, This makes them stand out on a page full of thumbnails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
