Feature Request: Crop Picture

[xplorr]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

Simple interface to CROP an image

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

-Right-Click image
-Select "Crop Picture"
-Image appears with bounding box and horizontal and vertical handles at edges and corners
-Select one of the "aspect ratio's": original, free, 1/1, 4/3, 3/2, 16/9 ...
-Drag vertical or horizontal edges or corners inwards (while outside area appears darker)
-Using ALT-key while dragging corner will resize all edges at once (similar to Photoshop).
-Using ALT-key while dragging edge will resize opposite edges at once (similar to Photoshop).
-Click Ok or Cancel: Ok will save cropped image in original format adding (Cropped) to name.

This is built into Photos.

@crutkas: of course there are tons of apps and progs to crop pictures but not in the spirit of PowerToys: compact+fast+integrated with explorer (right click)!
Photos is a full fledged app of 160MB, this is a false comparison. I could also use Photoshop, but this is not like PowerToys.
So, it's not at all convincing to close this feature request with your argument. Please reconsider.

I ended up here because I was surprised that Image Resizer does not allow WHERE to crop. Cropping in the center is not always what is needed. Also, Photos does allows 3:2 but it does not allow 2:3 (which is the format I needed). Of course one can do a custom crop but then you have no clue of the size that you are cropping. I think a movable window where to crop would be very useful. Just my two cents (and the reason why I ended up using PicPick instead of Image Resizer).

[crutkas]

For one app to succeed another does not have to fail. If one app suits your needs, that is great.

Where to crop becomes hard in batch scenarios which is image resizer primary use case

[crutkas]

reopening but that isn't a commitment to building the feature

Yes PLEASE! This would be a great addition, and really is what I originally thought Image Resizer was for. I don't tend to do a bunch of bulk photo editing, more on the fly stuff, so I was excited when I saw that PowerToys had this coming. However, it's not fulfilling my need. I keep looking for a way to simply select an aspect ratio I want to use, ie 4:3, 3:4, 16:9, 1:1, etc (or custom, please). It would be the cherry on top if instead of simple crop from left, right, top, bottom, center, if you actually could fine tune the crop area by dragging around the window based on the aspect ratio you choose. Then, default choice would be to use the highest quality available based on the original image's pixel count, or be able to choose a % degrade in quality if you don't need such a high resolution version.

I ended up here because I have thousands of images with transparent margins, and I would like to crop all of them to only remove the transparent margins (say I have a 100x100 image, out of which only an area of 50x50 is the actual image, surrounded by 25 pixels of margins in all directions)
That's something I really don't know how to do in bulk and hoped that powertoys will have the answer for.

awesome product, by the way :)
