Dual Crop Feature

Many times, we're shooting for different formats and clients like to make sure the image fits those requests. For instance, an image could work for both a vertical 4:5 for instagram and a horizontal 16:9 for a web banner. My idea is simply a dual crop feature. You can choose both a horizontal and vertical crop simultaneously, the dual crops appearing like a 'plus sign.' You could crop outside the image to see what kind of reframing would be needed/if extensions in post would be necessary. They would be bound to each other by the common centerpoint. You could possibly even offset the center of the dual crops by shifting the xy centerpoint within the tool.

Current workaround

Take a break to recrop to see how an image fits vertically and horizontally. Make a clone variant and recrop.

    Isn't this what variants are for? Just make a variant for each crop?

    This would be great! I'm currently using an overay with different sizes marked, but its annoying as hell!
