G'day Kentucky Ranger -

You're right. I've just checked cropping behaviour in the Edit module in PhD365 & PhD13. With aspect ratio unlocked, the current build of PhD365 snaps all over the place, where PhD13 cropping actions are predictable & as expected. Same thing occurs in Adjustment too. (Incorrect)

I'm sure the people at CL are onto it, or will be soon!

Cheers - Tony

Hmm, I see things a little differently. I agree that in the Edit module, unlocking the AR and changing the crop rectangle will always cause PD to completely fill one side of the image, even if you draw the box to be much smaller. This is a big problem and someone should report this to CL.

However, when I use the Crop tool in the Adjustment module, everything works normally when I unlock the AR. So for me, using the Adjustment tool still works normally even though it looks like Tony is seeing the same problem there as well.

Here's a quick video showing what I'm seeing with PhD365 (version 14.1.1130)

Thanks so much! Until this get's fixed, I can now use the crop function agian.

I have reported the issue to CL on ticket # CS002606714

Hi optodata -

You are correct. I'm sorry for describing the problem wrongly.

The issue only occurs in the Edit module. Cropping in Adjustment works as expected

Tony it was your post that pointed out there was another cropping tool available, and that's thankfully the workaround until CL patches the bug 👍
