I have not had enough time to create a gui, but if somebody needs one then ask it...

It seems to save too large an area? I.e. more than was marked with the rectangle. (I assume it is correct to presss the 'S' key to save the crop?)
Oh, and when you cancel the load requester after saving (when you don't want to load another picture), it says the selected file is not a picture instead of just quitting.
*The "toolbar" that appears at the top doesn't seem to do anything. *The instructions that appear on the screen say that the "Enter" key will crop and scale the image; but the "SPACE" key does this.
Anyway, keep up the good work! (And keep showing off what can be done with Hollywood.)
Anyway compare the two if you upscale a small portion of the picture. Hollywood makes a bit smoother upscale than the method used by Xeron.
Hmm. Really? Proper Cropper uses bicubic interpolation, which is the same technique that photoshop uses. Out of interest, do you know what method hollywould uses?
Anyway, good job on cropper, btw, I'm impressed at what you can create with hollywood.
I fixed the scale issue, but tbh, unless you were zooming something up massively like you did above, it wouldn't have made any real difference; for general scaling it was fine.
I also optimised it quite a lot, too.
Other main changes:
* You can change the screenmode * All settings are saved in the program icon tooltypes
Can you get rid of the little white square in the middle and allow dragging anywhere in the box that's one of the 4 side boxes, finding that box can be very tricky on very light imaghes.
Can you also add a tooltype to limit the box to within the image? something like NOBORDERS maybe.
One last thing, put the image path & filename in the save requester, or just the filename as a few times I've overwritten the previously saved image by mistake.

I do not want to promote my cropper, but these features are right there!
The features maybe there, but your cropper does not work here. it says it needs pngaplpha.library in line 249.
which is another problem as I need jpg, png is too slow for the 060 that'll be running the slideshow.
There is also the problem that I can't use workbench while it's running.
Does cropper actually crop and scale the original image data? it looks like it scales up the screen image rather than scaling down the original image.
@xeron
Another little idea, can proppercropper's screen be made an 'appscreen' so files could be dropped on it? If you're using an 'invisible' window it shouldn't be too difficult, if you're not using a window best to forget it as it would require a major rewrite.

I have just uploaded a new version which has jpg save format. Hollywood has its weakness if try to use on a field that not intended for. A good example is that it can only open predefined screens, so I have to open a borderless window to fullfill your original idea. Anyway you can drag that window with righAmiga+CTRL.
The scaling is always use the original image.
Hollywood is a very easy to use application and it makes me very happy to playing with it, so forgive me if I will bother this topic in the future with cropper0.xxx
According to the aspect ratio presets, have you any idea for a list that satisfy all favor? Should we get it from the printer preferences, or a user editable list?
