Crop tool coming from LR
Hi forum, I can't grasp the crop tool. I am used to the crop tool in LR.
In LR:
select crop tool, drag corners, and output is what is selected, you can keep the lock on aspect ratio or you can unlock aspect ratio.
In capture one: drag corners and the pixel size stays the same! How do I make the crop tool work like in LR?
Please anybody?
Thank you

The information you see for the size is based on the active Output Recipe.
You need to check the definition of the Recipe (also applies to Exports if not using the Process Batch queue.)
I would think your recipe is set to output the file with specific pixel size rather than size measured in inches, etc.
Change the recipe or use a different recipe to get dimensions that are not advised in pixels. Or are in pixels but are not limited to a specific number of pixels on one or more sides.
HTH.

Thank you Grant. Can I also crop without a recipe? I don't want to set pixel dimensions, I just want the crop tool to use the pixels I crop similar to LR. Do you know if that is that possible? [quote="SFA" wrote:

Apparently a change is coming to the crop tool in the upcoming version 20.
Then I am hoping for it to be a little bit more intuitive 😂
Pre ordered the new version fingers crossed!0 -

You can use the crop too with predefined ratios or totally free format.
No you don't have to use a recipe at all but if you do and the recipe is set up for the purpose you need it for - a print size or a web application (social media for example) that limits the size you can post then the recipe can help you by showing the dimansions of what you are about to produce with the settings to be used.
The crop is somewhat irrelevant to that result.
If to take a simple example, you have a 1:1 ratio crop that you wish to apply you can apply it and have the output targeted to produce a square of pretty much any size you want subject only to have enough pixels to produce a result if going larger and some constraints on something that would be ridiculously small.
The crop is just a ratio - fixed and pre-defined for repeated use or not as suits your needs.
The recipe is for ooutput processing, with or without the crop.
Using the two together just provides more information about the results you can expect.
Thus is you wanted a 1:1 ratio but output in 4 sizes - say 50cm x 50cm, 10cm x 10cm, 2cm x 2cm and a screen display version at 800 x 800 pixels the same crop could be used for all 4 on the same batch process operation simply by having 4 suitably defined Output Recipes that give the results you require.
I would really encourage you to look into this area of functionality. It is very powerful and not really difficult to understand once you come to recognise the potential. I would go so far as to say that if you don't use it you are making things less helpful to your efforts that they should be. The approach is available for a reason.
I speak from the basis of my own experiences some years ago when I failed to take a little time to understand the potential of the Process recipe system in conjunction with cropping, although my route to C1 bypassed LR after the first few releases and so I started with a different perspective on crop tools that may have nee a little closer to the C1 approach than LR but lacked the Recipe features for output.
I cannot recall what LR offered for cropping at V1.4. But I don't find shortfalls in C1 although I can appreciate that people may have their own ideas about what is useful or perhaps things that they have come to regard as absolutely vital. (And very familiar too ...)

Thank you Grant, that is a great explanation you give me there and I need to give it a better shot. Much appreciated! I know you are right about the potential of the capture one tools, they are so much more powerful than LR. But when you are so used to your 'old way' and you are in the middel of it all, you just wish it worked the way you are used to. It takes time, I understand and I will take onboard what you say.
Appreciate all the help and patience on this support forum. Couldn't do it without you all!0
