Suggestion: custom crop multiple images

[Victor]

The "Automate / Batch" feature is missing one very handy option: custom crop multiple images. Imagine I have about 50 extracted images/frames from a movie file and I want to cut only the middle part of all those images to make an animated gif for instance. It's too much work to crop/cut all those images one by one and it's impossible to do it exactly the same. I found a freeware program which can do it automatically, JPEGCrops: http://ekot.dk/programmer/JPEGCrops/

But of course it would be great if this feature can be implemented in PhotoFiltre Studio too.

you can use the canvas size on the automate/batch to crop image. just set a size smaller than original size

Ah, I see! It works but it is rather difficult because I can't see the image. With error and trial I finally have the right crop settings but I prefer to see the image and crop it with those handy [ and ] hooks.

Hi Victor,

you don't need error and trial, just one trial : draw a selection at the right place on the image,
right clic in the selection / Manual settings and you have exactly the values to set in the Automate / Batch.

Many thanks! It's so easy if you know the "hidden" features.

This crop function is must! You should make cropping available in automate/batch. Many times I have 200+ images to automate and object in pic is differently placed almost in every pic. Canvas doesn't work then.
