Crop Tool: Allow for setting default crop size and position on photo when opening.

Details

What problem do you see this solving?

I shoot many photos of birds and butterflies. Often the subject is very small and in the center of the frame. If I am already zoomed in to see if the bird image is a "keeper", I have to zoom back out to grab the edges of the crop tool after I hit "C". Then I must crop down to 100% zoom by trial and error to maximize subject size in the cropped photo.

What I'm trying to achieve:

I could speed my workflow if I could set the crop tool to open by default in the center of the photo at a 100% zoom size (i.e., when I press "C", the crop area which appears on the screen is such that if I immediately apply the crop the resulting cropped photo will be at 100% zoom, and the crop will be centered on the center of the original photo.)

Explanation of Labels

Planned

This is planned for a future release and you can expect to see it in Capture One at some point.

Not Planned

This isn’t something we’re considering right now, but it doesn’t mean that it’s a bad idea. We may revisit the suggestion in the future.

Completed

This is already in Capture One, or has recently been implemented.

Answered (soon to be changed)

We think there’s room in the product roadmap for something like this and you may be contacted for further input.

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

This issue occurs on multiple shots every time I import a batch of bird or butterfly photos.
