P: Can we have a toggle on/off button for the snap to center while cropping image?

After the update, during a cropping process there will be a red vertical and horisontal line forcing the image to be centered. We dont want to be forced to crop in the center, we want to crop the image freely like before. Thanks

Yea can we please get a working crop feature back, do you even do internal testing. How unprofessional do you want to be? Adobe: yes

Please let us turn this feature off, it sucks! Takes the joy out of editing.

Here is a thought...move some devs from AI nobody wants to beta testing changes. Wild idea, I know. 

Using Adobe products since Photoshop 3 but the open source world looks better by the day.

I need to turn off the automatic guidelines (the red lines cross) in the cropping feature in the Android app, but I can't find where to turn it off.

I opened the app today and for the first time those guidelines appeared and don't let me move my photo freely. They always try to center the photo.

Please help me.

Agreed! Awful new feature, completely unnecessary. Please remove it

How about working hard thinking a feature through before releasing, I would expect that from vibe coding but not real devs.

I have the same issue on my mobile app. And I too worry about an upcoming paid shoot and feel I have to pause posting photos because I can no longer crop them as I want to.

And with a toggle on/off, I hope the default is off, as most people using Lightroom would be serious and skilled enough to want to have total creative freedom when cropping their images.

The new alignment lines in Lightroom mobile is absolutely useless and is way too strong. I can’t fine-tune my crop anymore and move it slightly left or right, because it’ll just get dragged to the middle again. Absolutely useless function and just gets in the way of the workflow.

Also, while I’m complaining about the crop function - can the crop ratio be locked by default? I’m sick of having to second guess whether my photo is correctly 3:2 ratio or did I just free crop it because I forgot to lock the ratio. Make default setting an option and don’t just assume all users want the same.

Thanks for developing the app, but it still needs a lot of work fixing things that were never an issue years prior.

I'm having this same issue with Lightroom mobile with a red  cross appearing when trying to move the crop around, that forces it to snap to the centre. This happens with the lock feature both locked and open. I don't know if it's a bug or if it's supposed to be that way, but I really hope it gets fixed back to how it was before. How it is now makes the app basically unusable for creative and/or professional photography because you can no longer choose yourself which part of the image is within the crop/frame.
