Is it possible to disable to rotate function of the crop tool?

Josse Fermont

After a crop has been made, the crop tool changes to a rotate tool if you are near a corner of the crop. 

Does anyone know if this feature can be disabled?

    I don't think it can. I rarely use that, I must admit, but a lot of users seem to like having that as a way of rotating images.

    If it isn't possible I would like to make it a feature request.

    At the moment it is too easy to inadvertently rotate an image (by an almost invisible tiny amount).

    Probalby not a real problem for most forms of photography, but a big problem for reproduction/archival photography.

    Josse,

    There is a specific thread in the forum for Feature Requests so that they can be gathered and considered by the developers. Or you can create a "Submit a request" to initiate a personal response.

    At the moment the functionality is to change the crop if the cursor is inside the crop area or just outside a corner and it changes to a rotate feature for an area around the corner but away from it if the cursor is a few cms outside the crop area.

    In your situation (or my nearest approach to it!) I tend to keep the Rotate tool visible and work with that to either adjust or remove Crop-initiated rotations. In some cases, I just prefer to use the Rotation tool rather than the crop tool if it suits the purpose more thoroughly.

    But no, like Ian I am not aware of any way to disable it and personally, I am one of those that, as Ian mentioned, like it how it works currently.
