hi
yes for sure this is an option I already thought of
But the problem that I want to do the cropping before the resizing and after the normalization, so exactly in this place
but if I do it in the__getitem__it will be like this
class ImageFolder(data.Dataset):

    def __init__(self, root, transform=None, return_paths=False,
                 loader=default_loader):
        imgs = sorted(make_dataset(root))
        if len(imgs) == 0:
            raise(RuntimeError("Found 0 images in: " + root + "\n"
                               "Supported image extensions are: " +
                               ",".join(IMG_EXTENSIONS)))

        self.root = root
        self.imgs = imgs
        self.transform = transform
        self.return_paths = return_paths
        self.loader = loader

    def __getitem__(self, index):
        path = self.imgs[index]
        img = self.loader(path)
        if self.transform is not None:
            img = self.transform(img)
        if self.return_paths:
            return img, path
        else:
            return img

    def __len__(self):
        return len(self.imgs)

which will be done then either as the first transformation or the last one
