What to know
- Changing ratio also changes how crop behaves.
- Rotating orientation can swap final export width and height.
- Strong tilt and perspective usually need a quick crop cleanup afterward.
Practical sequencing
Set ratio first, then crop, then position and scale, then apply final tilt/straighten touches.
