The crop tool has constrained and unconstrained modes to ensure that the final image is at the required ratio.
However I (and I realise this maybe me) cannot see a way to flip the ratio in the constrained mode to create a vertical/portrait crop in a Landscape image.
I can see that unconstrained allows a portrait crop but then there is no way to ensure the final image is 6:4 etc…
What am i missing?
Welcome to te forum @JEX
You can flip the crop frame by dragging a corner of the frame until you get the needed orientation. It might take a few trials though.
To be a bit more literal…
When you drag the corner of the frame, there are two positions to consider:
Regardless of where the corner of the frame ends up, you need to get the mouse position sufficiently far to ‘flip’ the orientation.
If you have a 3:2 (wide:high) ratio (aka 1.5:1), you need to drag the mouse to a position such that it is more than 1.5 times as far away vertically from the opposite corner as it is horizontally.
Put way more simply. If you have a wide ratio, drag it very tall, and vice versa.
