In the crop tool, I often start with a hand-selected crop box and then want to switch to one of the preset ratios (3:2, 5:7, etc.) Even if my current crop box is landscape, the crop box is changed to portrait, reduced to fit inside the dimensions of my current crop box. I can then use 'X' to rotate the crop box, but since the previous step significantly reduced its size, it's too small and I have to stretch it back out again.
It would be helpful if selecting a preset ratio worked this way:

It would be helpful if selecting a preset ratio worked this way:
- If a crop box is not in progress, use the default orientation for the preset ratio (current behavior)
- If a crop box is in progress, the larger number in the ratio should be used along the larger dimension (new behavior)
- Select the crop tool, then drag a 2100x1500 crop box (landscape)
- Right-click and select 2:3 aspect ratio.
- The current behavior changes the crop box to 1000x1500 (portrait)
- The new behavior would change it to 2100x1400 (maintaining landscape)
