Auto-Crop

FLOGVIT.culling can automatically crop around people with a single keystroke. This is especially useful for event, sports, and portrait photographers who need quick crops during culling.

How It Works

Auto-crop detects people in the image and creates a crop that frames them with appropriate headroom and spacing. The crop respects common aspect ratios and photographic composition guidelines.

Using Auto-Crop

From the Keyboard

Select an image and press Shift+P. The crop is applied immediately and saved to the XMP sidecar.

From the Context Menu

Right-click an image and select Auto-Crop → Person.

From the API

POST /api/v1/images/{id}/autocrop

{ "subject": "person" }

This makes it possible to auto-crop an entire folder programmatically.

Batch Auto-Crop

Select multiple images and apply auto-crop to all of them at once. Combined with filtering, this is a fast way to create crops for an entire event:

1. Filter to picks (Option+P)
2. Select all (Cmd+A)
3. Apply auto-crop from the context menu

Default Padding

Configure how much space is left around the subject in Settings → General → Auto-Crop Padding. This controls the headroom and spacing for all auto-crops. Adjust it to match your preferred framing style.

Non-Destructive

Auto-crop is stored in the XMP sidecar, not the original file. You can adjust or remove the crop at any time. The full original image is always preserved.
