Reposition, crop, and set ratio

Goal

Produce a balanced composition that fits the destination format without clipping important UI.

Prerequisites

• Screenshot is imported.
• Frame/background decisions are either set or at least mostly decided.

Steps

1. Set target aspect ratio first.
2. Apply a crop preset:
   • freeform if you want complete manual crop control.
   • original if you want to keep the source image ratio.
   • A fixed ratio if you are targeting a specific output format.
3. Use crop handles to isolate the important content region.
4. Adjust position X/Y and scale for final framing.
5. Optionally add tilt for style after content placement is stable.
6. Use geometry tools (straighten/flip/rotate) only when necessary.

Verify Result

• Key UI elements are visible and readable.
• No accidental clipping from crop or frame bounds.
• Composition works at export scale without needing extra correction.

Quick Rollback / Undo Path

• Undo recent crop/position changes.
• Reset zoom/position to defaults.
• Reset crop and rebuild from ratio selection.

If composition keeps drifting

• Lock ratio and frame first.
• Avoid switching between many presets mid-adjustment.
• Reapply one known preset, then make small deltas.
