i’ve got about 200 photographs i’ll need to crop manually, and the finished files need to be in a 3×4 aspect ratio. what’s the best way to go about this?

think i’ll need a resizable selection box that maintains this aspect ratio. how would i create this?

Assuming you’ve shot them in RAW format, you can set ACR’s crop tool to a predetermined aspect ratio.

In Photoshop itself, you’ll need to use the rectangular marquee, setting the aspect ratio required in the tool bar. Then follow up with EDIT>CROP

wow, didn’t realize that was there. i also found the crop tool had "width" and "height" parameters on the toolbar.

thanks for the help!
