    Solved Quickly set selection area to 0.563 (cropping into 9:16 aspect ratio)

    Hello there

    I recently got a new monitor which allows me to easily rotate it by 90°. I have alot of wallpapers which I would like to crop and edit into a 9:16 format.

    Since I don't have any advanced knowledge of image editing or any kind of expensive programs or tools, I simply use IrfanView.

    What I do is:
    • I select the area on any given image
    • drag the frame until the rightmost value at the top of the window shows 0.563
    • position the frame by right-clicking and dragging it (please see the attachment)
    • and finally cutting it out and saving


    Not the most elegant way, I know and that's why I would like to ask you guys, if there is smoother method to speed up the process.

    Thanks you in advance and apologies, if this has been asked and solved before.

    * Select the are roughly
    * Open the Custom Selection dialogue
    * Select the 9:16 aspect ratio
    * Save and apply to the image
    * Move it with the RMB

    Save your actual monitor size as a custom selection, e.g. 1080x1920

        Another neat little feature is that after setting the 9:16 ratio in that dialog, you can hold down the Ctrl key while drawing a selection and it is constrained to always have that aspect ratio.

          Another neat little feature is Edit > Create maximised selection (ratio > 16 : 9 (or whatever), then you can use right mouse button to move it and Ctrl-left mouse button to resize it before cropping.
