(X,Y) coordinates readout with crop

Post by ferdinand-paris »

At the very bottom of the ASP window there is a read out of the (x,y) coordinates of the cursor. This seems to be accurate for an uncropped image, but something is odd when the image has a crop and ASP is in crop mode.

For example, take a 6000x4000 24Mpx image. Let's say I create a centred crop of 5000x3000. When I am not in crop mode, the x value in the (x,y) display goes from 0 to 5000 as I move the cursor across the screen. Ditto for the y value. This seems good.

However, if I enter crop mode (so I see the full image with the crop box overlayed) and repeat the exercise, the x value starts increasing starting from the left edge, i.e. outside the crop. It increases up to around 5000, which is still inside the crop, and then stops. Again, ditto for the y value.

So at the start it appears that the (x,y) values reflect the complete, uncropped image because it starts measuring from there, but x only grows as far as the cropped value. I.e. the range of (x,y) seems to be governed by the size of the crop, but positioned in the upper left of the uncropped image.

Feature, or bug for the monkey? (I concede that this is a minor thing, but it had me confused for a while during a precise cropping exercise.)

as far i understand the display..

top left : upper left coordinates of cropped area
bottom right : resulting size

no bug, they just could have skipped the upper left number to stop confusing people..


[EDIT]

so.. i just learned that there really is a display of cursor-image-coordinates in aftershot.
something that i totally ignored because i consider it useless. :D

soo.. yes, what ferdinand reported is a bug, and yes, i can confirm it.

as soon as you enter crop-mode the display becomes totally random.
it has no predictable pattern as to what numbers are displayed.
the crop size seems to be a factor, but it is not sticking to that.
