As I recall, they have a one keystroke crop function in the old iPhoto, and Pages and Keynote.ġ. That is 95% of my cropping/centering effort. In addition, since Apple can do face recognition atomatically, they could do a face centering function just as easily. In this case, they are obviously trying to stick it to us for money - not a good sign. Apple’s mantra has always been to make life easier/simpler for its customers. I think this is an error in judgement on their part.

Add two more clicks to enlarge the photo in the first place.Īpple has already provided a partial bulk cropping solution (the user has to do the final positioning) in the software for its paid prints at almost 2x the price/print, but this function is not avaliable for regular processing. It takes six keystrokes/button presses to go from an enlarged image back to the same image cropped and centered. As I mentioned, cropping and centering a single photo in Photos is quite possible, but not convenient, expecially for a large number of photos. The proper time to edit a photo is when it is being processed the first time out of the camera - i.e. They may have the software at their stations to crop and move a picture around, but who is going to stand in line for 2400 photos (or even 109, my last batch) typing on a 10 yr old CRT? In a sense, they are just a “dumb pipe”, providing a printing service, not a photo editing service. I must disagree with you about the printer being responsible for software cropping. Now the question: Is there any way to set the aspect ratio on a batch of pictures in Photos? This is one area where Apple could make life easier for a lot of people. However, if you would rather pay Costco or equiv $.11/print, then there is no way to use the Apple Print app to save the aspect ratio for regular prints. “IF" you are willing to pay Apple ~$.18/print, the print app has a nice way of setting the 4圆 aspect on the whole lot, then you can go pull the heads down on each photo without taking 6 clicks and 15 seconds per photo. Both have an odd X by Y pixel ratio that doesn’t match anything.Īpple’s iphoto and Photo programs don’t have any way of processing the aspect ration on more than one photo at a time, using half a dozen keystrokes each time.

None of my digital cameras (iphone 6 and Olympus) will let you set the aspect ratio to 4圆 internally. That was the beginning of my education about how disjointed digital cameras and print shops are. When I got the photos back from Costco, many of the heads were clipped. There was a wedding, 50th wedding anniversary, birthday parties, foreign trip, etc. I recently had to print 2400 pictures spanning several years.
