      It’s nice but I need something simple for cropping images in a certain aspect ratio/resolution and then exporting it to webp. I think Krita isn’t the right tool for that.

      Edit: Alright, I deserve the downvotes. I didn’t mention I need to do this in batch for multiple images.

        If you have trouble cropping and exporting under Krita, maybe using computers isn’t the right thing for you. It’s literally a single mouse click on this icon:

          Sir, this isn’t Reddit. Please calm down. :)
          And now tell me how to batch-crop and export multiple images as .webp, if it’s doable in Krita. Because I don’t know how.

            Yeah krita definitely isn’t the right tool for bulk jobs. You might want to look into learning to use imagemagick’s command line tools, they’re pretty much the gold standard for bulk image tasks

              If something was previously the right tool for the job, then, despite no apparent changes in the behavior of the user, is intentionally broken by the creator of the tool and is no longer suitable - that is absolutely, 100% worth complaining about.

              IMHO.

                So commercial-grade batch processing of images on other people’s infrastructure and dodging any form of compensation is 100% worth complaining about? OK.

                    You can’t just save the webpage as HTML and run it (which is what woelkchen doesn’t seem to grasp, even though I tried to explain it to him in another thread). But technically, all of the image processing code for cropping, saving, painting on the image etc. runs locally.

                    You can see that easily for yourself, just disconnect your internet after opening the site and it continues to work just fine.

                    That’s why all of the accusations that I’m freeloading and straining the developers’ server from batch-processing images are unfunded.

                Thank you, that’s my opinion as well. I know developers need to put food on the table, but then they should at least be honest about that. Going into the uBlock Github and trolling people there while claiming you “always supported ad blockers” isn’t the right way and I am not financially supporting developers who act like this.

                  Are you financially supporting literally any developers at all? You made it clear you were not paying for a Photopea subscription and were using uBO, so there’s not a carrot or a stick here for the maintainer of Photopea (I guess there’s a very tiny carrot for losing you as a user in that you’re not using their resources). I mean that as a genuine question, by the way:

                  • What software that you use have you paid for and/or donated to?
                  • Was it because you had to, or because you felt strongly that they deserved compensation for their work?
                  • Did you ever at any point stop giving said software maintainer money when you felt they were no longer acting in a way that comports with your standards?

                    Yes, I’ve donated to the digikam project in the past, just to name one example. I also donated to Slackware when its creator was in financial trouble. And I am actively donating to the Fediverse instance that allows me to post this comment.

                    You think you got me here, but you didn’t.

                  You were not financially supporting the developers before either. You admitted that you do frequent batch processing of many images on their infrastructure. If anything, losing you as a user is saving them money.

                    I’m not sure why you keep commenting this as a fact, when it’s literally not true. As I’ve said in another thread, you can open up the site, disconnect your internet and process all of the images just fine. All of that code runs in your own browser.

              I’m not the one getting nervous at looking at other alternatives.

              I am not nervous, I am mildly infuriated. There are other tools and I will learn them.

              Use the right tool for the job

              imagemagick certainly isn’t the right tool for batch-cropping, unless the cropped area is always in the same place (I need a visual representation before cropping and a commandline tool doesn’t cut it here). But thank you for at least trying to suggest an actual solution instead of patronizing me.

                Calm down.

                I need a visual representation before cropping

                Then pay. You’re using a commercial service to do commercial-grade tasks. Stop to dodge compensation.
