Currently, I’m working on developing a small macOS utility tool for my photography. In my camera, I have a digital zoom feature. I prefer using this feature when I shoot both JPEG and DNG files. While the JPEG is already cropped to the desired format, the DNG file contains metadata (DefaultUserCrop: 0.22, 0.22, 0.78, 0.78). For instance, when I open that DNG file in Lightroom, it pre-crops the image non-destructively. However, I prefer using Pixelmator Pro for editing. Unfortunately, Pixelmator Pro doesn’t have this feature. So, I thought I could create an app that allows me to pre-crop the image for editing in Pixelmator Pro afterward.
Does someone have a better idea or some hints on how I could solve it?
