in photoshop, there is a neat feature that allows you to simply drag the size field to increase / decrease it
there is also a quite handy lock button to make sure both sizes match / ratio is preserved
could be cool to add that, it saves a few clicks, especially when considering this : #1047962947751784509 message

cool! im wondering if there would be a way to just add the behaviour on top of the existing dropdown (not have an actual visible slider, just the drag mechanic when you hold the left mouse button key)

I also liked this solution using a single slider to quickly set the aspect ratio, with the short edge always being 512px. You'd want a way to override it, but it would be convenient most of the time. You could also combine it with a maximum pixels setting to let the smaller dimension shrink for extreme aspect ratios. https://twitter.com/sharifshameem/status/1596620970202378241?s=20&t=FDrWzEs_QEz1RK7hkrP0-Q

I got frustrated with Lexica's existing UI for picking your image's dimensions, so I built this improved component which only uses one slider instead of 2.

It's a tiny change, but feels more intuitive and fun!

(also Aperture will be live on Lexica tomorrow)
