is it possible to have crop tool selected I need to crop many hundred images before conversion & have to manually select the crop tool or press R every time after each shot.
Since the crop is not same I cant apply batch sync, looking a way out if possible.

In the develop module, if you have the crop tool selected, it remains selected if you click on the next image in the filmstrip. Not sure what your problem is...

I am doing the following:
Select the crop tool> draw the crop> then double click to see only the crop area only (thumbnail gets updated too)
Then select the next image the crop tool "needs to be selected again"
I rechecked & you are right that if i select the crop tool & then navigate to other images it remains selected, so the problem is actually happening due to double clicking the cropped area to see the updated crop in thumbnails.
Is there away out? else I follow your method & wont double click the crop.

If it's a similar crop in each image then you can select all in camera raw and crop everything together.
-
No its not a similar crop that's why I am having problems.

The "R" key is the shortcut to crop mode, so, select the next image, press R, crop, check.

Don't double click - it's unnecessary and anyway, the update will cost you time if you are trying to fly through your images.

Alan,
I am aware of the R key thats what I want to avoid, cropping 1000 images mean I have to press 1000 times R key which is meaningless i wanted that it should remain in cropping mode.
Nick's method works except that I should not double click the crop to update the thumbnail.

Nick is it possible that I work as per your method & later once finished can I update all the images to show cropped version?

as long as you don't doubleclick, the tool remains active. when done doing all the cropping, do the doubleclick and all the thumbs will update.

Does that mean a single double click & all 1000s of images will update
or you mean double click each image means 2000 actual clicks for 1000 images.
Thumbs are updated as soon as I crop its the larger image preview which I need to update so the client can see the final version before the files get converted.

You're right. I dont know what I was smoking at the time.
