So you would be able to achieve your desired sized and cropped image with just 2 clicks.

Once you have done that, clicking the script's button again will crop the image to the selection. It will then automatically create a selection on that resized image that is 520 pixels wide (the width of the image) and 344 pixels high, and will also automatically select the Mover tool which you can use (with right mouse dragging) to move that selection down to your desired position. When run (by clicking the icon), it will automatically resize the image to 520 pixels wide and automatically select whatever height is required to maintain the aspect ratio. If that is correct, then a script can be created and bound to an icon and placed on a convenient toolbar that will save you from having to access all of those commands from menus, etc. I have to assume that any images you are working with will, when resized to 520 pixels wide, be of sufficient height size that they will be at least 344 pixels high or more when the rezise to 520 pixels wide is completed while maintaining the correct aspect ratio so as not to distort the image.ģ) Select the Mover tool so that you can then move that selection marquee vertically to choose the part of the image you want to display that will be 344 pixels high.Ĥ) Crop the image so that it is now both 520 pixels wide and 344 inches high.

And to achieve this you want a faster method of doing the following steps from the tutorial you posted:ġ) Resize image to 520 pixels wide while maintaining the aspect ratio (i.e., the height will change in correct proportion to the width) Ģ) Then create a custom selection that is 520 pixels wide (i.e., the width of the resized image) and 344 pixels high. I am looking at a LOT of photo editing in the next few weeks, so would be grateful for any and all I understand you correctly, you want your final image to be 520 pixels wide and 344 pixels high. If anyone knows of an even faster and accurate way to do this. Go to "image" and click on "crop to selection". Using the "move" tool and the right mouse button, move your rectangle to select the area you want in your photo.Ĥ. Click on "selection" tool and then go to "custom selection" on the top ribbon, and change "bottom". Go to "image", select "resize" and change width to whatever you need your specific width to be.Ģ. this works very well and does exactly what I wanted to do:ġ. Since there are other things I often have to do to my photos, such as get rid of extraneous space on the edges of my shots, rotate the images to fix horizons before I crop or resize. Thought I would let others know another method I was able to find on Youtube. I hope I have explained that clearly enough. It will take me months of trying to crop each shot to the correct size!
Corel photo paint crop image trial#
I have a few thousand photos to edit, and I am not looking forward to the possibility of having to do this on a trial and error basis, one by one.

Is there a way to “preset” the crop tool to 520 x 344, overlay the crop rectangle on my photo and move it to the best spot, then copy and paste it to a new blank page of the same size? I know this is probably lacking in the correct technical terms, but I am self taught and just “get by” with my photo editing.Īny advice would be greatly appreciated. I can no longer just resize my photos and upload them to my website without having the whole site affected by a photo size change. Though my old camera was a Nikon, it was a much better camera than the new Nikon I have now … and for whatever reason, the raw photo sizes are different. I have managed to get myself resituated in Canada now, have bought a new computer, camera and of course Corel PaintshopPro. I lost everything I owned in Hurricane Irma in September in the British Virgin Islands and am just now trying to get my business back up and running. I have a website that uses three different photo sizes, the most common of which is 520 pixels x 344 pixels. I can’t deal with Adobe’s subscription nonsense, so have made the change to Corel. Hi there! I am new to this forum, new to PaintshopPro Ultimate, and relatively new to photo editing … though I do know a little bit, but that was all Photoshop stuff.
