Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/crop-4x5-8x10-1-25-orientation.
You can check this copy against the snapshot in the Internet Archive.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

Would it be possible for when the above aspect ratio is selected, that it default to Portrait orientation ?
I would think anyone selecting this aspect ratio would be expecting Portrait orientation.
50% of my snaps are 8x10 portraits
