Aspect Ratio

ProCamera enables you to take photos in various aspect ratios. By default, the camera takes photos in 4:3 format, but you can choose from various other aspect ratio options for photo captures, including 1:1 (square), 2:1, 2.4:1, 3:1, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, or even Golden Ratio. All aspect ratios other than 4:3 are achieved by cropping the 4:3 image.

Changing Aspect Ratio in ProCamera:

1. Tap the Control Panel button.
2. Tap the Aspect Ratio button.
3. Select an Aspect Ratio in the sub-menu.

When capturing photos in an aspect ratio other than 4:3, ProCamera saves both the cropped image and the original 4:3 image by default. This lets you return to the uncropped image at any time—for example, to show more of the scene or crop it to a different aspect ratio. Since 4:3 is the iPhone camera’s native capture format, no image data is lost. There is special option in Settings (Settings > Edited Version) where you can configure the saving options (e.g. only save the cropped image without the additional 4:3 original) for images taken with an aspect ratio other than 4:3. To learn more about this, read this article.

To learn how to export files with multiple versions available, such as when the original 4:3 image is saved alongside the cropped image, check this article (see the "Exporting images with multiple available versions" subtitle).
