Cropping And Dimension Ratio Options

[Guest_Photog_*]

I do a fair amount of cropping. I want top be able to crop to a defined print size, so 4 inches by 5 inches, 5x7, 8x10, 8x12, and so on.

Currently when I display the "Selection Info" it gives the the corners x/y for the selection, the selection width/height plus the percentage of the whole image, but it not does not show the ratio between the width/height.

It would be really helpfull to have that shown.

The percentage does actually indicate the ratio, but obviously not in the unit you would like to see it.

angle = atan(1/aspect_ratio) where aspect_ratio=x/y

or the other way:

apect_ratio = 1/tan(angle)

For instance, the angle of your 8x10 is atan(10/8) = 51.34 degrees

I will consider adding display of the aspect ratio in a future version!

BTW, the aspect ratio of 8x10 is 4:5. The aspect ratio of 8x12 is 2:3. This is what PMView would display. It would never display 8:12 because that's not a normal form.
