How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw?

How to keep original aspect ratio when cropping in Camera Raw? Cant figure it out! With shift, the aspect ratio is 1:1. But I didnt set it to 1:1 (I checked "normal").

The Shift key works once you’ve set your crop ratio.  DSLRs would typically do 2:3 and others sometimes do 3:4.

  • Can I maintain original aspect Ratio when making web Quicktime video

    Hello there,
    I have to convert at 16:9 Premiere file I originally made for DVD into a web ready format. Can I do this without distorting the image? In other words, I want to reduce the file size and keep the proportion intact.
    Also, for future reference, what is the optimum aspect ratio when creating video content for web with Premiere?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Thank you Jim. Sorry for not replying sooner; I've been offline for a couple of days. Your reply is helpful and I'm
    happy I won't have to squash my original 16:9 format movie to put it online.

  • How to maintain video aspect ratio when resizing

    I am making a 30 second dvd intro of a dance recital video. I created 12 short clips that will be cuts between them.  I do not want them to be full screen. I want to apply an effect that makes the clip have frayed edges and it is resized very small. I want to make them bigger so they arennearlynhalf screen.  When I click and drag it, nothing keeps the aspect ratio. I held down the shift key, which usually works in all other programs but it had no effect. I tried other keys like alt but it was a no go. How do I resize without warping the video?

    I have nothing on this computer aside from Adobe and a few other audio apps. This is a dual Xeon 6GB system. I work in IT and am MS certified. I do not think it is the system. I am using AE CS6. =A0Keyboard is set to its defaults. I do not touch the keyboard mappings. The effect brings the clip down to 10% or so. How should it be resized? SHift - click and drag works in all of my apps like Photoshop, so it isnt the kb or the system. Is that the way it is supposed to be done in AE? If you have AE, are you able to try this to see what I mean?

  • Setting Aspect Ratio when cropping to A3

    Hey folks being new to Lightroom 5.6 I'm probably doing something stupid and I am sure there is an easy solution; I just don't know what it is..
    I have 23 RAW images in my LR Catalogue that I wish to crop, but I also know that I will be saving them as A3 JPGS at 300ppi.  So the first thing I did was go into the Print module and select my Canon Pixma Pro printer so that I can then select a paper size of A3.  In the print module, each image then displays A3 on the left hand side of the main preview window.  So good job, that bit is successful.
    So now I need to crop the images.  I had previously tried cropping them to A4 and therefore had typed 8.27x11.69 into the Custom Aspect Ratio setting (yes I know we're talking inches here.... LOL).  Well I then reset all the images so that their Aspect Ratio is set to "As Shot" and when I select done, the little crop box in the previews along the bottom of the screen disappears....  Still with me?  Oh I hope so
    So now the images are back to their original size as if they were straight off the camera, I selected all 23 images and pressed 'R' to enter the crop function.  Under the Aspect Ratio, I selected "Enter Custom" and tried entering both 297x420 (mm) and also 11.7x16.5 (inches).  On entering each of these ratios, whenever I select <OK>, the Ratio always reverts back to 8.27x11.69, as in A4, which was a custom ratio in the first place!!!!
    Any help on how I can set the Ratio correctly for A3 so that i can actually start doing some cropping would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks....
    Lewis

    Sean what a wombat!!!!   (Me that is, not you..... LOL)
    Of course, A3 is two sheets of A4,  That would explain why Lightroom kept showing 8.27x11.69.
    Many thanks for answering what is really common sense when one thinks about it.  Sorry to have wasted peoples time, but thanks once again.

  • How to keep image from moving when cropping?

    I have been using LR for quite a while, but all of a sudden when I crop a photo, the image slides to the left or right and out of view.
    In the past when I move the crop frame the photo would not move, that way I can see exactly how much of the photo I am cropping.
    I have tried doing searches regarding a setting, but all I get are answers about locking the crop ratio and that is not what I need.
    I need to keep the entire image in view when I slide the crop window.
    Thanks!

    i don´t think so.
    because i had the same "problem" when i started with LR.
    i was confused because lightrooms crop tool worked different then photoshops and i thought i had changed some settings that made LR behave "strange".

  • How to keep original email open when replying?

    I bet this is somthing simple, but I just can't figure it out. When I click reply on an email, the original closes. It's no big deal, but I like to have the original open to refer back to. Is there a way to set my mail to keep the original open when replying. Thanks in advance
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   Got my new MacBook. It's a wonderful thing!!! Video iPod!! Lots of toys!!!

    You're welcome.
    I am not getting the other option about keeping
    the preview pane visible.
    It seems you're not aware that the part of the main window where messages are listed can be split in two parts: the messages list at the top and the preview pane at the bottom. You can do this by either (1) dragging upwards the thin horizontal separator bar that's at the bottom of the window, or (2) just double-clicking on that bar (it has a tiny hole in the middle).
    How come when I delete an email in my .mac account,
    I have to delete it twice from the trash?
    Well, the answer to that question is way more involved than you might think.
    The behavior you've observed happens in Mail to any IMAP-type account for which deleted messages are stored locally (i.e. Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors > Store deleted messages on the server has been turned OFF). The "reason" is that storing deleted messages locally for IMAP-type accounts causes Mail to move deleted messages in that account to a Deleted Messages (AccountName).mbox folder located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/.
    Deleting a message already in a Trash mailbox should cause the message to be permanently erased, BUT deleting a message from a mailbox located within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/ (i.e. an "On My Mac" mailbox) should cause the message to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash. Thus, in the particular case of a Deleted Messages (a Trash) mailbox stored within ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/, there are two conflicting behaviors, and it seems that Mail takes the latter into consideration first, i.e. deleting a message from the account's Trash under those conditions causes it to be moved to the "On My Mac" Trash instead of being permanently erased as would happen if the Deleted Messages folder was located within the account folder.
    This could very well be an oversight (a bug) rather than intended behavior, but that's how it works in the current version of Mail. If you're curious, the following somewhat amusing (but also lengthy and confusing) threads would give you an idea of how long it took me to figure out this one:
    emails won't delete on first try
    IMAP messages need trash deleted twice

  • Camileo S10 - how to change the aspect ratio to 16:9

    Does anyone know how to change the aspect ratio when making movies with the arcsoft software included with the S10!!!!!
    Won't let me select 16:9 only 4:3!!!
    Not sure why as when you play the recording back directly through the telly it does it in 16:9 so I know it's being recorded in the right ratio!!

    You cannot change the aspect ratio because you record at full hd 1080. The S10 records in format 1440/1080 at full hd, wich means 4/3. The S10 is not capable to record in full hd at 1920/1080 (this is 16/9 full hd). It is simple:
    Camileo S10 record 1440 pixels on horizontal and 1080 pixels on vertical. The aspect ratio is 4/3.
    Answer for your question: if you want to see in 16/9 format use HD2 (720p) for recording.
    Bye.

  • Lagging Crop in Camera RAW

    When cropping in Camera RAW, dragging the crop box is very slow and laggy, but it wasn't always this way. It used to be fast and responsive. I've tried clearing PS preferences, clearing Camera RAW cache, increasing Camera RAW cache, and none of this fixes the problem.

  • After pasting a crop, how can I keep that aspect ratio?

    I am using LR3.2.   I often use "Previous" to paste settings onto a picture, including a crop with an aspect such as 5x7.  When I then go into the crop tool and grab one of the corners to resize the crop, it snaps back to the "Original" aspect ratio.  Is there a way to tell it to keep the same crop ratio I just pasted, without having to reselect that aspect each time? 

    It's a bug.

  • How to keep the stage aspect ratio when stage width=100%?

    Hey,
    if I would like to make an animation that always fits into the browser window by fitting the width to 100% I'm having trouble keeping the aspect ratio of the stage's height. I can only configure 100% there which will stretch the content also to 100% of the browser window's height. If I configure a pixel value for the height, then I am also stuck on this value.
    All I want is the stage to adjust to the width of the browser window, and the height of the stage to preserve the aspect ratio depending on the width.
    this video shows what I mean. unfortunately I am not familiar with coding: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=hrLt0Y9QAY8
    Can somebody help me?

  • Option to keep aspect ratio when scaling pictures

    If I place a picture object on the report and change the size or scaling I woul like to have an option to keep the original aspect ratio. I've seen other products that have this feature. I use the ole object with a graphic location value (from DB field) so different pictures may appear based on data. Unfortunately the original pictures are not all the same size so pictures end up skewed when trying to fit.

    I meant for this to be in feature request thread. Not sure how to move it there or atleast delete it.

  • How do I export a file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    I'm exporting an edited scene from an external hard drive to a macbook but the video on the laptop is anamorphic (squished) compared to the original file on the hard drive.  How do I export the file and keep the aspect ratio intact?

    Please give the exact specs of your project. If the material is anamorphic, aspect ratio display is a function of the playback device. What is it?

  • What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a "widescreen anamorphic" 16:9 SD DVD (original aspect ratio is 14:9)?

    I just received the masters for a new SD DVD. I would like to author a "widescreen anamorphic" SD DVD horizontally squeezed widescreen image stored in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio DVD image frame. (On 4:3 displays, mattes should preserve the original aspect ratio. On 16:9 displays the image will fill the screen at the highest possible resolution.)
    Below I've listed the specs of the Digi Beta master tapes the producers have sent to me for digitizing. I'd like to know this: What are the ideal specs for a DigiBeta master tape when authoring a widescreen anamorphic SD DVD, using material with an original aspect ratio of 14:9?
    I've also listed my guesses below. Please let me know if my guesses are right. If not, please suggest alternatives (and if possible explain why.)
    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS OF EXISTING MASTER:
    Tape: DigiBeta
    Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
    Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
    Pixel Aspect: NTSC - CCIR 601
    Frame Size: 720 x 480
    Anamorphic: Full-Height Anamorphic (16:9 image displayed in letterboxed, non-distored 4:3)
    Display Format: 4:3 Letterbox
    MY GUESS AT IDEAL TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS (for a DigiBeta, that is):
    Tape: DigiBeta
    Original Aspect Ratio: 1.55 (14:9)
    Vid Rate: 29.97 fps
    Pixel Aspect: Square
    Frame Size: 720 x 540
    Anamorphic: YES
    Display Format: 16:9 Anamorphic (horizontally squeezed widescreen image)
    Please feel free to ask for clarification or further information you need to answer my question.
    Thank you so much in advance for your help!
    Best, Noetical.
    BTW, I can't wait for the day when everything has gone digital and we get digital intermediates instead of tapes to digitize!

    Hi Nick...thanks for taking the time to reply to my question.

    What you have there is a mess.
    NTSC pixels are never square.
    NTSC is 720x486, even when it is Anamorphic.
    You shouldn't be using an already letterboxed master to make an Anamorphic version. Get the master that was made before the letterboxing stage.
    When you make an Anamorphic DVD it should display as 16:9 full screen automatically on widescreen TVs.
    The same DVD will automatically letterbox on 4:3 TVs.
    Um yeah...duh. That's exactly what I was trying to explain in the preface of my question. I'm sorry if I didn't make it clear...all these things you mention are the reasons I'm putting together a list of the technical specs of the DigiBeta I need so I can have them send that instead of the stupid letterboxed version. 
    Look, I'm sending this request to some intern at their offices in England, asking for a master with which I can make an Anamorphic DVD. They already sent me this master, which as you and I both agree is an idiotic asset to use for these purposes. As such, I was hoping for advice on a more precise way of requesting the master that I need than asking for "the master that was made before the letterboxing stage." Upon reflection, perhaps I'll just do that. If you or anyone else has a suggestion about something I should add to my request that would improve the odds of them sending the tape I need, please repond. Thank you!
    BTW, It's been a long time since anyone has responded to something I've written or said as though I'm an idiot. I remember now that I don't really like it. (Moving along...)
