Crop improvement ?

[sirtet]

Supporting this.
I think not greying out outside the selection is the biggest downside of XnView.

Much has been discussed and Mockups posted in this thread:

I think an easy solution could be a fade% option in the settings, quick solution, and not interfering with other uses.
There could be more Options, but that would maybe have the highest ratio of work vs effect.

The feature request of this topic has now since been included natively in XnView MP

there is even an upcoming custom .Ini tweak for users to disable the 'shade selection' too.

Hi everyone,

Would it be possible to slightly improve the crop by shading the area outside the selection ?

To give more sense to what I'm asking, here's a screenshot from Photoshop :
