[Solved] Manually crop images in a folder

Post by brucedesertrat »

I have to go through a folder of images and manually crop each one with the selection tool. I know I've done this (many years ago) but cannot figure out how (I am preparing photos for creating a uniform directory of head shots, and the people taking the pictures did not frame them correctly ) The final cropping aspect ratio needs to be the same, but the area to be cropped is in a different place in each image . Attached is an illustration of what I need to do (a shared dropbox link) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/awsrgtzu ... kq5r5&dl=0

I suggest the following:
Open a browser in GraphicConverter. Select the files for processing and open the context menu with a right mouse button click (or control key + left mouse button). Select "Crop for Photo Service".

Select in the next dialog the desired aspect ration.

Now the processing starts.

Just select the crop area and click onto "Apply & Next".
Also, check "Use same crop rectangle for next image". So, you have to move the rectangle normally only a bit.

GraphicConverter creates a sub folder in the image folder with the cropped versions.

Thank you thank you thank you!

That's exactly what I was trying (and failing) to remember doing years ago.
