Is there anyway to lock the aspect ratio in crop tool (preferably to "Do not constrain")? It keeps changing randomly each time I go to use it.
None that I know of. This costs me at least an hour of lost productivity each week. Make a feature request to Apple via The menu item "Aperture➡ Provide Aperture feedback".

Will do. Thx for your input.
Note that it should default to "Do Not Constrain" if that is the last AR selected and the currently selected Image has not been straightened. It really shouldn't change in an apparently random fashion.
When I have lots of Images to crop (often), I put them in one container, switch to the Viewer, set the Viewer to 3-up mode, crop the selected Image, click the next Image, and check the just-cropped Image (which is still showing in the Viewer). Until I change the AR or click on an Image that has straighten applied, the AR stays at "Do Not Constrain". I can power through hundreds of Images this way.
If I know there are many Images that have be straightened, I will put them in a separate container (or filter them out and deal with them separately).
HTH.

I'll have to pay more attention to when it changes and when (and if) it doesn't). I don't use the straightening tool often but I do use a couple of plug-ins on a regular basis and this might be what keeps the crop tool from defaulting to the last AR used.
Thanks for your solution.
