Allow cropping boundaries to go outside the picture frame

Currently, the crop window is restricted to be inside the picture window. When the picture is rotated, the crop window shrinks to prevent it from extending outside the picture frame. This functionality is most often preferred.
However, for some situations, there should be an option to unlock this feature, allowing the crop to go outside the frame. Upon export, white space (or a color of selection) will be substituted for the are outside the picture. What I am asking for is the same functionality RawShooter has!!

I want the feature, but implemented better than in RawShooter. Some photos would look best cropped a certain way but need a little sky or whatever cloned into a corner.
A simple way for Lightroom to provide this is to have the crop box work just like it does now constrained to the images pixels, but by pressing and holding, say, the Alt/Opt key, the box would become unconstrained. Holding down the Ctrl/Cmd key could be used to rotate the crop box 90 degrees by clicking on one of the borders.
In response to the nay-sayers, for many people (see, I'm not just speaking for myself) the idea of workflow is the "flow" part, not the "work" part. For me (and the many people) getting images cropped right is part of the flow. Jumping to Photoshop is an interruption. (Of course, for others the flow is completing each image as they go, but when I do that I am way too slow.)
For the bloat-beware folks, the hard part is constraining the crop box to the pixels, not uncontraining it. BTW - Lightroom's handling of cropping and rotating is WAY better than RawShooter's.

  • How to change the picture frame size in Lightroom 5 Book

    I would like to control the actual picture frame size when making a Book in Lightroom 5. Or else know the sizes of the different picture frames provided by choosing the different page layouts. That way I can either change the picture frame dimensions to accomodate each photo or change the image size to fit in the offered picture frame. I find that using the software as is winds up cropping the images in unwanted ways. Modifying the picture frame would be my preferred alternative. Appreciate any ideas

    Hi again Tony,
                I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7, Photoshop Elements, Perfect Photo Suite, Photo Studio, etc., changing Image size, placing a picture on a page and then, do a simple last minute size adjustment by using the arrows to stretch or shrink it in place. Things would be a lot simpler if I could do the same thing with the cells in Lightroom 5. Cell pad adjustments do not fill the bill.
    I think we’ve pretty much concluded this exchange. Thanks again for your effort.

  • How to delete the photoes in the picture frame

    I deleted all the photoes, but they still show in the picture frame. How to delete them?

    If you have any synced photos on your iPad the only way to delete those is by syncing again with iTunes... Either sync an empty photo folder or unselect the photos folder from the photos tab in iTunes and sync again.
    Are you sure that you are not using Photos from your Photo Stream? Go to Settings>Picture Frame and make sure that there are no albums, or photo stream photos to choose from.

  • How Do I Remove the Picture Frame Icon From My ipad????

    Okay, I have read several answers which address this.  I have the latest generation ipad and have this annoying picture frame icon on my lock screen.  The discussions say to turn passcode on/off, yada yada.  When I turn the passcode on, the icon disappears, but every time I power down or after a period of time, I have to re-enter the passcode.  Is there some way to disable the icon having the passcode off? Or am I just stuck with the icon if I disable the passcode? I tried tapping on General, then passcode lock (which is in the off position)to turn the passcode off. Next screen says turn passcode on, (which I assume means that the passcode is of). Picture frame is "off", but shaded gray.

    No. You either use a passcode and disable the Picture Frame icon, or live with the icon and no passcode. If you don't like the way that it currently works, let Apple know how you feel about it here.

  • I had the first ipad now i have the new ipad air where the the picture frame app?

    i had the first ipad now i have the new ipad air where the the picture frame app?

    Apple iOS designers did away with the Picture Frame slide show app and the lock screen icon that used to activate it.
    If you are looking for a replacement, look in the iOS App Store app and search for Picmatic.
    This is a pretty good replacement for that function.

  • Can the Picture Frame change rate slow down?

    Twenty seconds is *way* too fast but appears to be the slowest it goes. Ideally something like twenty *minutes* is what I'm after.

    Yes, I saw that slideshow feature in Photos so was disappointed to find that the Picture Frame feature is simply the very same thing! While I would agree with Apple that 20 sec is probably ok for a slideshow, where the user is concentrating on the screen and actively *watching* it, a picture frame is entirely different, it's just glanced at occassionally. A picture frame that flashes up a different shot every 20 secs is very distracting.
    I suppose there is the solution of using lots of duplicates of each shot in an album to extend the time each is on screen, but even a 10 minute duration would need 30 copies of every image!
    Thanks again, I'm back to the App store now [even that is not straightforward - trying to find a photo app that is not all about adding tacky effects shouldn't be so hard. ]

  • The picture frame in the blog summary!

    Hey,
    by default a frame of the blog entry picture shows up in the blog summary right with its text... It was all good, but by adding my second blog entry i suddenly found both entries on the blog summary page are without no photos... even by playing with the "placement" of the picture and text format of this page... just nothing...! u can check it out here : http://www.bynomad.net/Nomad/Blog/Blog.html
    thanks

    ok i figured it out! i was deleting the default shot and then add my picture! well what is supposed to be right is just drag and drop it over the default picture, this will still make it bounded to the blog page!
    i still find it silly anyway... also re-adjusting the default page every time i post something... they should create a custom thing for each page i believe...
    cheers

  • How do I blow up a picture without affecting the picture frame?

    Hi everyone. Is there any way to blow a picture up without making its frame bigger? In other words, I only want the picture to get bigger, not the frame it's in. Thank you. Is it to hit the command > button? I'm using a Mac by the way. Thank you, thank you

    In CS5 you have the often despised 'content grabber' which is a donut shape that pops up when you hover over a picture with the selection tool (the black arrow).  When you see that click on it, then you have the picture selected itself with a brown frame, you can then scale away with the corner handles or use the scaling tools in the control bar.
    Alternatively you can select the picture with the direct selection tool (white arrow) or double clcik it with the selction tool, either way will select the picture itself, like the content grabber.
    Edit: I don't want to put you off the 'donut', as a newer user you may find the content grabber a useful tool.  When I say 'often despised' that's by some of us who are stick in the muds and don't like things popping up all the time when you only need them very occasionally like frame edges...

  • Adding video to a picture frame ( jpg image ) masking question

    Hi guys,
    I have an image of a picture frame, and I want to add some video inside the picture frame, but don't want the video to be seen outside the picture frame.
    How would I go about getting the video into the frame ?
    I have tried adding the "simple 3D " preset to my footage, and have put the video footage ON TOP of the picture frame later ( a simple jpg )
    Is there a correct proceedure to doing this ? or am I on the right track here ?
    I also notice one thing, - when I applied the Simple-3D preset, I can do a simple perspective on it.
    I applied a 22 degree "swivel" on the video footage, which correctly aligns the TOP of the video with the picture frame, however, the bottom of the video is out of whack slightly.
    On the bottom left, the video is perfect ( in the lower left corner of the picture frame ) however, on the right side ( bottom right ) the video is angled too much upward, and so there is a space there, and doesn't look correct.
    What do you suggest ?
    In photoshop, I would simply cut out the real photo from the picture frame, and put another image UNDER the frame and apply a simple masking to it, and this way it would be perfect, however I don't think this is how we can do it in Premiere ( ? ) I'm fairly certain about this, but could be wrong.
    If I am correct, then somehow I need to skew the video slightly ?
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Dave.

    Hi Jim,
    I had the video under the picture frame, but parts of the video are still visible, ( in Photoshop I would simply mask out the area outside the frame, and that's it, it's done, but it seems in Premiere there is no such thing as this type of masking (perhaps ? )
    Hi Steven,
    I don't understand what you wrote, if I crop either the picture frame or the video, it won't look right. However, if I tweek the video just a tad, it would fit pefectly, however, when I do this to the video, just a portion of it sticks out from the picture frame in one area ( in Photos hop a simple mask would hide this )

  • How I disable the iPad picture frame mode?

    Several times I looked in the settings but could not find this option, just in the passcode settings, but I turned off the passcode, the picture frame is turned on WHY? And how I disable the picture frame? I looked this on youtube in an iPad review video at 2:35 min: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aly5Q_mUhVI
    Thanks for the help.

    Of course you can.
    If you don't want the little flower icon appearing on the unlock screen, set the Allow Picture Frame to Off under Passcode in General Settings.
    If you want to deactivate the Pcitrue Frame mode while its running, tap the home button once, and click on the Flower icon at the bottom right whihc should be blue since its on.

  • Picture frame button disappear from the lock screen

    hi guys,
    after updating to iOS 5.01, I can no longer find the picture frame button in the lock screen. can I get it back somewhere by tweaking in the settings? thanks

    Ah, you mean the camera.  Your original post sounded like you were asking about the photo frame/display function.
    To get the camera button on the Lock screen, just double-click the Home button.
