Visualization during active cropping mode: Crop area with grey translucent overlay, area to keep is shown normal. Standard UX. Very snappy.
After switching aspect ratio crop-selection remains as-is. Only on next drag the crop-selection suddenly adapts to the new aspect ratio and "slips off your drag-cursor". Not good.- Better: Immediately refresh to the new aspect ratio and taking the top-left as the reference which stays where it currently is.
Really innovative is how to switch between portrait and landscape with a selected aspect ratio:• Simply drag an edge more horizontally and you get landscape
• Simply drag an edge more vertically and you get portrait
• I was looking for explicit 16:9 and 9:16 in the dropdown, first a little frustrated.
• But when I saw only a 16:9 and also no portrait/landscape toggle, I simply tried dragging vertically, and voila suddenly switched to portrait!
• Most users will discover this within a minute of trying, and then have some user pride. Great for emotional attachment to the product!
