Re: [Gimp-developer] Cropping border color
Hey guys, I found a workaround. I just use the rectangle select tool, click hide selection and layer boundary to remove distractions from the edges, and use crop to selection. I assigned a shortcut to this function, because I use that and undo consecutively. When I undo, all I have to do is click within the original selection, even though I can't see any lines, and the adjustable selection square re-appears as it used to be. It's a little slower, but perfect for those times when I have to fit a hard-to-crop picture into a certain standard ratio. On Friday, June 5, 2015 12:41 AM, Liam R. E.

It has no effect on the crop tool preview at all. I had a look at editing the source to change the way the reduced- contrast area around the cropping rectangle is drawn -- a colour swatch on tool options for the crop tool would not be out of line, nor even an opacity slider, as on e.g. the Rotate tool.

I've often wished for a way for Undo to go back to the exact state just before the operation, including e.g. the uncommitted selection that you could edit, the crop ectangle, the perspective grid. It would be clean-warm-dry-black-sock awesome.

Making the color and opacity of the passepartout an option of the crop
tool would be a nice feature. The quick mask already has that and it's
really useful.

Are you willing to re-compile?
If you change the passe_partout color in app/display/gimpdisplayshell-style.c
[1] to be { 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0}, you should achieve the result you seek (though
I have not tested this).

[Gimp-developer] Cropping border color
It would be great if I could choose to see pure black around whatever I'm cropping, because I make very meticulous crops of photos for artistic purposes, and I often have to crop and go back multiple times because it looks different in the final version with solid white/gray/black compared to transparent while I'm cropping. Or else, if it's easier, make it so that I can undo the finalization of the crop but go back to where I left the crop at.
