Cropping using metric measurements

I live in Switzerland where all pictures frames are in metric measurements (centimeters or millimeters). The cropping sizes in iPhoto 6 are all in inches. Is there any way of changing this to show centimeters or millimeters? Thanks, Southpawch

Hi Southpawch,

The cropping done in iPhoto is based on aspect ratios, and in the US it's inches. The actual image is not resized but is cropped to get the most picture in printed version...

You should be able to crop your images using the Crop tool > Constrain > Custom setting, just use the ratios in cm or mm you would like to use...
