[Macro Crop VS Manual Crop] Crop position out of image Size

Hi,I have been trying to crop my images using Macro.
When i do it manually, Upon pressing the crop button, the Crop is positioned in the MIDDLE of the Image size which is alright for me.
I'm Cropping it into a square. The problem is when I choose to crop it with Macro, It returns an image with larger height creating this blank space in my imageI have attached two images, One is with Macro, the prblem.
The other without macro which is what i wish macro to do(Crop position Middle, It's like slicing the excessive image on both side off. Without having to increase the image which leads to blank white space
Trying to get this with Macro

Size is different for different image. When i record the Crop, it records that particular image's Crop Position, Size etc. It doesn't automatically detect the image size and not crop perhaps based on % or whatever.
I don't think you understood me. Try recording your action again, but before you do, set the rulers to Percentage (by right clicking inside the ruler).
Select the Crop tool, and in the Options bar add values for width and height of 1 and 1. Don't try and specify units. Just type 1 in the first field, tab to the next, and enter another 1. This will give you a square crop with a pixel dimension of the images shortest side.
I suspect this might work, so do give it a try.

How to find out the image size?

How to find out the image size values(Width and height) in illustrator CS3 using any script. I tried but i got only the document height and width. I need to find out the image BoundingBox value of width and height. Kindly advice me.

Try this.
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set heightImage to get height of raster item 1 of current layer of current document
set widthImage to get width of raster item 1 of current layer of current document
display dialog (heightImage & " X " & widthImage) as string
end tell

Show cropped size while cropping, support detection of min. crop for a chosen image size.

Now that Lightroom gets really stable and powerful, maybe we have a better chance to get some of the "smaller issues" resolved as well?
One feature which would interest me would be indication of the cropped size while performing the cropping. Lightroom could also show always the percentage of lost or ignored pixels by the crop as a rough measure of resulting "image resolution."
With posting in web in mind, I found on many occasions that I would like to have one more feature: I would like to set for the crop the
"desired image size" as I chose for the posting, say 1200x800 pixels, and not allow the crop to select a smaller area.
Now its up to "try and error" in such cases. Once the crop is off, Lightroom shows the cropped area if selected so, and so user can see if the crop still encompasses at least the desired image size.

At Dan and others
There is a very simple reason that has been stated several times. You are not editing photos, you are making references to images through a database - its all ones and zeros with colours and hues. It is at the export stage you tell lightroom what crop you want. There is no point telling lightroom to crop 800 by 600 in the develop module (though I do see the reason for the request).
If you did specify 800 by 600, the crop would be a small proportion of a 4000 by 3000 pixel chip image ,so you would only get a tiny portion of the picture, then what?
How do you get more of the picture in the crop dimensions?
You scale it up by dragging the crop box having the constraints in the ratio of 800 by 600..... ( back to the original way LR uses....)
Wanting emperical 800 by 600 or 1200 by 800 then scaling up is 2 step process where Adobe sussed that one in the beta by saying u"se aspect rations and then use the all (powerful but ugly) export dialog."
Its has actually been thought out plenty more so "human factors mis-engineering that would make microsoft proud" kind of noise is probably incorrect.
There are some clever and overworked people battling with Lightroom . Bibble 5 was promised 6 momths ago..... still waiting for their 88% improvement in speed.......... but LR2.3 is not there yet
If you want a crop of certain "dimensions" enter them into the x and y spaces in the crop options and you will have 800 by 600 or 1200 by 800.
Then simply set up a batch export using the options long edge... compresssion %.... All these NEED to be entered for exporting at least once - even if you go Export as Previous.
that is my intrepretation of why Adobe decided not to give absolute crops, I'm sure if Adobe did comment on these forums a little more, they would explain more succintly, eloquently but a very similar explanation as mine is above.

Preset crop tool not matching image size after crop.

I am a labtech at a community college and look after 48 mac pros in which the students use the entire creative suite. (I only mention this becuase any answers need to consider variations in system settings or photoshop settings. college students get into everything!)
But the issue is when you select the crop tool and enter a custom constraint and crop
The image size is sometimes a full 2 inches off of what you set as a crop?! I havn't run into this before, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
[I do know you can use the drop down box and use {size and resolution} but I want to know why it doesnt work under custom and unconstrained]
Thank you again.

Looks like you are just setting the aspect ratio. You need to enter units of measure (8 in X 9 in) to crop to a specific print size.

Why Does iPhoto 08 Crop Print Outs ???

Hi. I would appreciate a little help here.
I am trying to print out some 8" x 10" photos with borders, in landscape paper orientation, using an Intel Dual Core iMac, Mac OS 10.4.11, iPhoto 08 ver 7.1.2, approved HP Printer and HP Driver, on 8 1/2" x 11" HP Premium Photo Paper, at maximum dpi.
File resolutions are generally:
1600 x 1200 (2 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 395 KB file size),
2048 x 1536 (3 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 790 KB file size),
2560 x 1920 (5 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 2.2 MB file size), and
3264 x 2448 (8 Mega Pixels, 4:3 image aspect ratio, 3.6 MB file size).
The problem I'm having is that iPhoto prints the photo by cropping approx 1/4" off the left side and 1/2" off the right side of the screen image without indicating there will be any loss of image content. The screen image DOES NOT accurately reflect the printed image.
Like most people that take pictures, I frame the shots the way I wanted the picture to look. In a picture of a family reunion the person on the far left would have half his head and body chopped off (missing) while the person on the far right would be totally cut out (missing). What I see on the screen IS NOT what I get when printed out. And of course, it does this consistently without warning. Why?
I would accept uneven borders, but want the entire picture to print. Something I would have thought to be the default settings for iPhoto when printing "with borders." Foolish me.
I understand some cropping might have to take place when printing "border-less" printouts, but not for those "with borders." There out to be a law against doing this without conscent.
HP PhotoSmart will do this for me, but it's rather a hassle to have to transfer pictures over each time I want a satisfactory print out.
How do I get my pictures in iPhoto 08 to print out "entirely?" Dare I say "normally?"
Have tried many settings changes in iPhoto and Preview to no avail.
Please help.

Hi LarryNH,
Thanks for your timely reply.
Ok, let's do the math. What the heck?
Pick out a photo in your iPhoto library that you can view and print out in Landscape View.
Preferably a photo that you can instantly recognize the border changes in, or with rulers or grid lines. If possible, let's make it an image with a 4:3 ratio too.
Chances are you will be able to see the entire photo on your screen — even though your screen mostly likely is not one with a 4:3 image aspect ratio (pixel Width divided by pixel Height). Hmmmmmm.
Now print out the photo using iPhoto 08, letter paper size with borders. (Save yourself some ink by choosing the lowest dpi or fast printing)
For me, actual image size was 10 1/16 "W by 8 1/4 "H. The letter paper size print out has a 5/16 " border on the left and a 5/8 " border on the right (not centered, even though it's supposed to be). Both top and botton borders measure 1/8 " (centered, like its supposed to be).
Notice any chopping off of the image on the left and right sides when compared to the screen image? Hmmmmm.
When I print the same photo using HP PhotoSmart
For me, the actual image size is somewhat smaller: 9 13/16 "W by 8 3/8 "H. The letter paper size print out has a 9/16 " border on the left and a 10/16 " border on the right (approximately centered). The top border is 1/2 " and the botton border ise 9/16 " (again, approximately centered). BUT MOST IMPORTANT, the image of the photo I see on the screen is "entirely" present on the print out.
The original photo has a 4:3 (or 1.3333) image ratio (4 divided by 3).
Apple is printing out an incomplete horizontally uncentered image with a 1.2197 ratio (10 1/16 "W divided 8 1/4 "H).
HP PhotoSmart is printing out a complete image with a 1.1716 ratio (9 13/16 "W divided by 8 3/8 "H), but at least it is a complete image and it is approximately centered.
Besides Larry, I bought a Mac. I shouldn't have to do the physics and math. Apple should be, thus making life easier for you and me. I hope they're listening.
I have been totally unable to coax a complete image out of iPhoto, let alone one properly centered.
I have been trying to print photos from Events. I'm going to try one from Albums next.
If you find a work around in iPhoto, please let me know. With borders it is do-able, as HP PhotoSmart has proven. I just wish iPhoto could do the same.

Crop marks out of alignment on double sided pdf

I have an Indesign CS4 two page document I have saved as a press pdf with crops. The client has just told me the double sided proof has come back with the crop marks out of alignment (offset vertically). Isn't this something the printrer can easily sort, or should I be setting it up differently in Indesign??
Cheers
Jacqui

You should set it up as facing pages if it is double sided.
I don't see a reason to do that for a two-page document. It makes it harder to scroll between the pages since thay are not vertically aligned on the pasteboard and it should have no effect on things like crops.
And yes, screen shots of the page in ID and the PDF would help a lot....
You can embed them in your post using the camera icon on the web page, like this:

Did you crop the photo to the same aspect ratio as your print size? If not, then the software will crop it for you.

Crop positioning

I suspect that this has ben discussed before, but could not find anything via search.
I find that LR crop positioning is "bass ackwards", at least relative to ACR & PS, in that LR moves the image vs. the crop window.
Is there any way to switch LR to conform with the "standard" in the other products?
Frankly, though I prefer moving the crop window, I could probably get adjusted to either.....but changing from one to the other is just....well...difficult.
Thanks....JOHN

> Is there any way to switch LR to conform with the "standard" in the other products?
No, and I suggest you adjust. It's the LR way. We had to fight hard to get the alternate drag-and-drop crop approach. I've adjusted, and it wasn't very hard.

How to crop many nearly identical images the exact same amount?

I need to crop many nearly identical images in a square shape. I want them to all be cropped so they look the same size. What is the best way to do this so they are all cropped the same?

Yes. When you choose the crop tool go to the tool options at the bottom and select no restriction from the drop-down list. Enter your dimensions for width and height e.g. 300 px by 300 px and then enter a resolution e.g. 72 for use on the web/blogs or 300 for printing.
When you drag out your crop over the image it will always be those dimensions when you click the green check-mark.

Photoshop CC crop image size & resolution dialog box

In previous versions of Photoshop the "R" button displays the Crop Image Size & Resolution dialog box. Is this feature completely gone is CC? I can't find anything the even references this dialog box. Anyone out there have this issue?

In photoshop cc 2014, the size and resolution boxes will actually show on the tool options bar instead of a separate dialog window, by choosing W x H x Resolution from the drop-down menu.

Question on Photoshop Image Size Zoom & Crop

Hello Everyone...
I was wondering if anyone could help me out on a few questions w/ Image Size Zoom & Crop
I use to work at a studio that had their own small software for editing photos. It was setup so you take an image RAW and you could CROP by zooming. So I could take the image and SCROLL to ZOOM in and it cropped away the rest without actually pressing crop. Then you pick what sizes you want, 1 8x10, 2 5x7 and sheet of wallets and WALLLLLLA it prints them out on 3 sheets of paper.
My questions are:
Is there anyway to crop by zooming?
Is there anyway to keep the original size after cropping? Example most of my pics are 12M when I crop they go down to 2 or 3. Why? If I have a picture of 4 people and I want to crop to one persons face but keep the original image size why won't it do that without resizing??
It says that to get the best print quality it should be viewed at resolution 300 instead of 72? is that true? and why?
Is there a way to keep the quality at its best and then just select how many and what size I want to have print out? example of the 3 sizes listed above??
I hope my questions make a little sense.
Thanks for your help in advance

Reduce image size in pages by cropping ??

Hello,
I created a pages document with a lot of masked images in it. the resulting pdf file is massive. As described in the Pages manual, I tried the reduce the image file size (format menu) and the document file size (file menu). But instead of reducing the size by deleting the the parts of the images that are covered by the mask (as written in the manual), it reduces the image resolution, which I don't want.
Question: How can I reduce the image file size by cropping and not by reducing the resolution.
I learnt a lot today in other forums on how to edit quartz filters, so I know how to manipulate resolution afterwards for pdf's for mail and print. Cropping images before inserting them into Pages I don't find a real option. Thank's for yor help.

I reported it to Apple via the feedback button. I also added a little wishlist for the next version.
I think if Pages would crop the excess parts of an image covered by a mask during the pdf export would solve the problem already because imho these not visible parts are often the reason for the massive pdf file sizes. The images are completely embedded and masked in pdf's.
Does anybody know a pdf tool that does that? I tried PDFshrink and PDFpen so far, but they both don't.
Would also be cool to have an Automator action that adjusts resolution via edited quartz filters and crops the invisible stuff off ...

Crop Marks on the image

Hi All
I am producing some exhibition panels and our printer would like the crop marks actually on the image. When I export to PDF the crop marks appear in a white area around the image - is there any way I can remove that white area and show the crop marks on the image?
Thanks

Daniel lists two choices. A third choice is to use InDesign's custom cropmarks feature, which came up twice today! Wow!
See http://forums.adobe.com/message/3637984#3637984, etc. for some more details. It is a bit tricky to set up, but works well once it is done.
I'd like to second Daniel's second post:
We're approaching a point where a screen shot of your pdf's might be worth a thousand words.
Please post a mock-up of what you want, it would be very much more helpful!

If I may, I would like to strongly disagree with this suggestion. Illustrator is not a tool for generic editing of PDF files. It has been known to cause problems when editing mildly complicated InDesign documents, and the set of PDF files it can edit and operations it can perform is not a superset of InDesign's. It is partially overlapping.
Also, any hand-editing of marks is going to be a pain. Why include the marks if you are just going to remove them? Mark them in InDesign as Peter suggests.

So, please let me know step by step how can I perform this using the Lightroom software. Also I wan to know what should be the aspect ratio to do so.Thank you in advance

The aspect ratio should be set to 200x280, or equivalently 5x7.
I don't think it is possible to do the cropping automatically in Lightroom, you'd have to do this image by image to crop the faces correctly.

Photoshop cropping to correct image size for SP

Ok, this is my first attempt for support here. I've looked quite a bit at other questions that might be similar but can't seem to find my answer.
I'm trying to prepare about 150 pictures in photoshop for a gift DVD presentation. Unfortunately most of the shots are portrait and of course the screens are landscape. I'm wondering if there's a way I can crop these pictures before bringing them over to SP? In the photoshop cropping option I don't get pixels but rather inches. I've learned on the forums that I should try and have my pictures set at 720 X 534 at 72. However in the "image size" option of photoshop when I change the height pixels it automatically changes my previously set width pixels which I has set at 720. AND, what it an even greater concern is that the image size option just makes my pictures smaller but does no cropping. I'd sure like to decide where all these portrait pictures get cropped myself rather than having SP I guess automatically cut them to size to fit the screen.
Appreciate any assistance. I'm using CS3 and SP4

You will need to scale them and then drop them into a proper template (there should be DV menu templates with CS3, have not got my copy yet, but CS2 had them - should be there when you select File->New)
Take a look at the action and title safe lines also in the template, you are going to want all the photos to be inside the small area.
In order to see what you want to see from the pictures you will need to adjust each one.
