Using Luminar 3 Tools
I have couple questions about using tools in Luminar 3
1. Crop
I have cropped my original image to 3:2 image. Then I want to change my cropping and open the tool again. Now it shows aspect of 7:5 even if the cropping is still 3:2 (like I've done it before), but when I move cropping it will change to 7:5.
Is there a way to keep the aspect value same as the real cropping so if I want to change cropping I don't have to always change aspect also?
2. Clone & Stamp and Erase
Is there a way to undo your changes inside Clone & Stamp and Erase tools?
Undo (Ctrl-Z) is not enabled and I haven't found any similar functionality. Now if there's multiple things to erase you have to erase them separately in different layers in order to avoid redoing everything if some erasing doesn't do what you wanted. Only way I've found to undo erasing is delete whole layer and then create new layer and start again from beginning.
btw. Is there a way to make my image to certain size (for example 1200x800)? When exporting you could only give dimensions, short edge or long edge. You could only give one side and software calculates the other side and it is usually 1199x800 or 1200x801 or something like that in 3:2 images.
It would be more usability to find some solutions to these issues.

Hi,
Let me please address your questions:
1. This is a known issue that our team is currently working on. The fix should become available in one of the following Luminar 3 updates.
2. The support of these shortcuts in Erase, Clone and Stamp and Free Transform tools is temporarily unavailable. We'll be sure to change that in the future. Meanwhile, I recommend you to use Subtract mode with which you'll be able to refine what you've painted with the erase brush. Still, once you've hit Done and decided to re-erase something, you'll need to remove the layer and start from scratch.
3. Please note that the app always sticks to the actual aspect ratio of the image, i.e. if you change the size of one edge (A), the other one (B) will always be recalculated considering the new A's size and the ratio of the original image.

Thanks for the answers.
2. Yes, I've used Subtract but that's only available before erasing. You don't always know what it's look like after erasing something and it's pretty frustrating to start doing things from scratch in these cases. For example you have picture with 10 people and you want to remove 8 of them. First 6 is removed nicely but then 7th is not. So you have to start all over again (or remove every people separately in different layers).
3. At a moment it's pretty hard to get your image to certain size in Luminar. Now I use paint for that and this is not the ideal scenario.
