    Great video.
    I am considering buying a medium format digital camera.
    The camera comes with a native 33x44mm image size which is a 4:3 aspect ratio.
    The camera offers a cropped 24x36mm image size which is a 3:2 aspect ratio.
    However, I want to create a custom cropped image size of 27x36mm which is a 4:3 aspect ratio.
    As far as I know, custom cropped image sizes and aspect ratios are not yet an available feature.

      True, as far as I know not an available feature, but that would be such a helpful thing especially if you are doing panorama cropping or square. Having the ability to make your own custom ones would be great especially when developing one’s style/voice as an artist. Hopefully the camera companies are reading these comments.

    Hello great helpful video... how do I get a 1400x1400 pics

    • @TheVisualCenter
      @TheVisualCenter  2 місяці тому

      That would be a square format. So follow all the same steps, and in the crop tool you’ll set your ratio to 1:1. Then change your image size after that. If you need 1400px then in the image size window you can change inches to pixels and then you can set it to 1400.

    Hi. Thanks for a great really interesting video. Does this work exactly the same in Lightroom Classic? Thankyou I`m now a subscriber to your channel

      Similar but a little different. Checkout Trent’s video Export RAW Images for Print in Lightroom Classic | PPT LrC

    How can you change aspect ratio of an image without affecting other layers?

    • @TheVisualCenter
      @TheVisualCenter  8 місяців тому

      Aspect Ratio is normally a global thing, but help us understand your question. Do you have more specifics you could share, or an example?
