You can crop a photo to improve its composition or eliminate unwanted parts of the image. You can crop it to a preset or custom aspect ratio, or you can constrain the photo to its original aspect ratio. You can also straighten photos that were taken at an angle unintentionally.
For example, for a square photo, choose Square. For printing the photo, choose one of the preset aspect ratios, such as 8:10. To resize a photo for use in a high-definition video, choose 16:9. Or choose Custom to enter a custom aspect ratio for a photo.
Straighten the photo: Drag the Straighten, Vertical, or Horizontal slider to adjust the angle of the photo. Or move the pointer outside of the selection rectangle, then use the rotation arrow to adjust the angle of the photo.
This is espexially important as the number of contributors seems to outpace the number of identifiers, so anything that speeds of the ID process makes it more likely that your photo will be identified.
Editing (cropping) in many programs on computer or phone loose metadata. Even the best programs can remove metadata if not saved the right way or format. It would be great if iNat could handle the cropping online. Maybe even an auto suggestion cropping choice with easy adjustment. That would make it easy and ensure the metadata is preserved.
Zoom is useful, but if the original photo had detail beyond the dimensions allowed on iNat, the image will have already been shrunk by some percentage, obscuring the details to some extent even on zoom.
I personally use Google Photos to crop my photos (and also do minor color correction/editing), which preserves photo metadata. On Android I found it somewhat awkward to edit/crop photos because the edited photo would be filed into a different folder and made it a hassle to pull photos from different folders out.
Since I upgraded to a more recent (13pro) iPhone, I have often been cropping the photos on the phone that I submit to iNaturalist, and the needed metadata (date, time & GPS) remain. Most computer photo editing program that I have dealt with have an option to retain metadata, although it is often disabled by default due to privacy issues for people widely distributing their photos on social media.
I do a lot of photo editing and have never lost any metadata on an image unless I specifically set the software to delete it, or if I copy the image to a new canvas that has its own different metadata.
Perhaps for people who would lose the metadata cropping and then saving with a program like, say Photoshop: perhaps the original unedited photo could be submitted to the site and after it uploads as an observation you could go to edit option and add the cropped image, untick the original, and then save so only the cropped image shows on the ob?
I use a camera that saves the metadata so what I will usually do is upload the original, and then should it assist others trying to help ID, add a second cropped image of the subject so ID reviewers can get a view of the entire situation and look at the surroundings I observed the organism in.
When making a new listing on desk top. directly on the eBay platform. You can whiten the background but after saving go to crop the photo down to highlight product the button shows crop outline. However it in not adjustable and does not work.
Same Problem here. I upload high res photos from my phone and I can only crop a sliver of the image. It acts like I have low res photos. Some have worked ok but now all the images I took last night I cannot crop the way I would like. Please fix.
I use Google Photos to host (free & secure "https") all my images. If you do all your edits (cropping / color / brightness / contrast) in google photos, way more control and editing capabilities, then you can copy the URL on that image and paste it into the E-Bay listing tool. This will keep the original size so when you see an image on E-Bay and hover over it or click on it, then it will show the larger size image. I haven't had much success using the E-Bay photo edit tool.
I have the same issue. Both on my PC and my mobile app and my IPAD. I turned in a ticket a week ago when I first had the issue. It looked like it was working for a few days and now it is not working again.
Having exactly the same issue. Thought it was fixed for a few days, but everything I have tried to list so far today has been affected. Reported it to ebay but they don't seem to know anything about it. I'm a business seller and this really affecting my productivity. Sounds like lots of people are having the same issue. Ebay needs to fix this fast.

For example, if you select "Instagram Story 1080 1920", your cropped picture will be 1080 pixels wide and 1920 pixels high.
To the right from the Options drop-down menu, you will see an arrow that allows you to rotate your image. It is initially set to 0, but you can set any angle from -7 to 7 . Depending on which side you want to tilt your photo to, move the blue circle to the left or right.
