Photo App - see crop dimensions ?
Is there a way to see a "ruler" in the photo app, so when cropping multiple photos one can crop with the same dimensions?
Thanks in advance

Hello zrohit,
There isn't a way to see a ruler when cropping photos in the Photos app on Mac. However, you can use custom aspect ratios, as described here: Crop and straighten photos in Photos on Mac
Crop and straighten photos in Photos on Mac
You can crop a photo to improve its composition or eliminate unwanted parts of the image. You can crop it to a preset or custom aspect ratio, or you can constrain the photo to its original aspect ratio. You can also straighten photos that were taken at an angle unintentionally.
Note: You can also crop and straighten videos. See Change and enhance a video.
Important: Cropping a photo changes its appearance everywhere in Photos, including in albums, slideshows, and projects. To edit a photo without changing it everywhere, first duplicate the photo and then edit the duplicate.
1. In the Photos appon your Mac, double-click the photo, then click Edit in the toolbar.
2. Click Crop in the toolbar.
Tip: To quickly see the crop and straighten tools while editing, press C.
3. Do any of the following:
* Crop or straighten the photo automatically: Click Auto.
* Crop manually: Drag the selection rectangle to enclose the area you want to keep in the photo.
* Crop to specific proportions: Click the aspect ratio you want in the sidebar.
* For example, for a square photo, choose Square. For printing the photo, choose one of the preset aspect ratios, such as 8:10. To resize a photo for use in a high-definition video, choose 16:9. Or choose Custom to enter a custom aspect ratio for a photo.
* Flip the image: Click Flip to flip the image horizontally. Option-click to flip the image vertically.
* Straighten the image: Drag the Straighten, Vertical, or Horizontal sliders to adjust the angle of the photo.
* Remove the current cropping or straightening changes: Click Reset.
4. When finished making changes, do one of the following:
* Save your changes: Click Done.
* Stop cropping without saving your changes: Click Revert to Original.
Hoping this helps out.
Take care.
