New Body-Aware Crop Presets for Surgical Photography:
We’ve added four new crop markers to Body-Aware Crop—Neck→Thigh, Chin→Thigh, Chin→Waist, and Neck→Waist—to better support surgical and clinical photography. These presets detect key facial regions (eyes, nose, ears) to ensure consistent results, even when masks are worn. Ideal for full-body and mid-section crops, they help streamline standardized cropping for medical workflows.
