What should this feature add?

I often want to generate something in format of e.g.

• DIN A4 (for making posters or documents)
• Common screen resolutions (wallpapers)
• Common cinema resolutions (content creation)

It would be super handy to have some of the features like:

• Having a dropdown do quickly choose common ratios
• Change either width or height, based on a manual pre-defined width/height to fit a certain format (before upscaling)
• Prepare custom aspect ratio templates for re-using certain canvas sizes

Alternatives

• Note my common ratios/canvas sizes and copy paste them repeatedly

Can you please provide a list of must-have aspect ratios, and nice-to-have aspect ratios? Or just a single list sorted in order of most important to least.

Voting strongly for this option.

1. Sorry for the late reply ... i was on a holiday trip
2. Thanks for even considering this feature
3. I hope its ok to provide you a list i generated with ChatGPT → If you need this information in another format just tell me

As you can imagine, it would be awesome to have it landscape/portrait and even defining custom formats

I think its clear that something like fixing either width or height and then rescale the other size to a specific format has the target to create a image in a smaller scale because as postprocessing e.g. a 4x scale is "planned"

I'd like to add to this, or suggest an option.
Perhaps a field or matrix within the config file where a user can add their own aspect ratio?
I know there's some ratios on this i'll use/do use in the current menu, but being able to add some unique/oddball ones i'd like to use, without flooding the menu with ratios i'll never use (large landscape, etc)

[Z3r0Auth]

did some digging through the issues list, and i really like the proposed solutions here:
#6402
A simple txt file, or option within the config file for some ratios would solve this very well.
