Capturing area with ratio?

[mtemp]

Hi,

e.g. for screenshots using in Facebook as article image I need the option to capture an area with a ratio of 1,91 x 1

... like in Photoshop:


But, ah, this is not possible yet, isn't it?


Thanks!

Am I right that we are talking about screenshot captor?

Hmm, am I in the wrong forum?

Or didn't I find the option?

Or have I hold a special key by using »Grab Fixed size region«? I tried Shift, Ctrl, and ...


Thanks!

oops sorry i didn't realize you had posted in the right area after all, my apologies.

So, first things first, if you make a capture, like a screen capture, you can choose a preset region side from edit menu (and you can customize the choices in options), and then hold ALT key while you drag with mouse to preserve the aspect radio.

I need such a "ratio cropping" not after making the screenshot, but as a capturing option.

Why? Because I have to try out several browser sizes for capturing a selection with the ratio for Facebook articles (1,91 x 1), so that I have all the things of the web webpage arranged/positioned within this specific proportions...

I am wondering why this option is missing in this powerful tool which I am using since several years..


thank you!

i could add Alt key support to constrain aspect ratio to red box capture mode, if you were willing to use red box mode for region capture.

... why not just for "fixed size region"?
