Representations, Warranties and Disclaimer Let me cite section 5 and 6 from the cc-by-sa license agreement:ĥ. Just to make it perfectly clear: This is my first, inexperienced work with Lua and Lightroom plugins, it is a quick and dirty solution. “exiftool -AspectRatio=”” -AspectFrame=”0 0 0 0″ -DefaultCropOrigin=”” -DefaultCropSize=”” -o “NEW” “ORIG”

Changed call from “exiftool.exe” to “exiftool” for cross platform compatibility.

Reading WIDTH and HEIGHT from exiftool -ImageWidth -ImageHeight “exiftool -AspectRatio=”” -AspectFrame=”0 0 0 0″ -DefaultCropOrigin=”” -DefaultCropSize=”” -CroppedImageWidth=”WIDTH” -CroppedImageHeight=”HEIGHT” -o “NEW” “ORIG”” In order to support the community development of a LR5 compatible version, I added the current state as a GitHub repository:

exiftool needs to be installed and available on PATHĭeAspect by Tim Jagenberg is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

Although I would advise against it, it is up to the user to manually delete the stacked original file after the conversion.

In order to avoid any confusion regarding some problems reported in the comments below: DeAspect is designed NOT to delete any original files. As a manual step, the previews should be re-rendered for the new files.The newly created file NEW is then imported and stacked on top of the original photo.

If the entry is called with a selection, the selected photos will be passed toĮxiftool -AspectRatio=”” -AspectFrame=”0 0 0 0″ -DefaultCropOrigin=”” -DefaultCropSize=”” -CroppedImageWidth=”WIDTH” -CroppedImageHeight=”HEIGHT” -o “NEW” “ORIG”.If the entry is called without a selection, nothing happens.A new menu entry “DeAspect current selection” is added in the Library menu.The only drawback of this approach is, that it is not possible to change this later on in Lightroom.Īs a reaction to this, I sat down and got into Lua, in order to write a little plugin automating the exiftool workflow proposed in some user forums. Quite correctly, Lightroom 4 reads the AspectFrame metadata of raw files and crops the photo accordingly on import.
