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

Could not agree more! This new feature has more than doubled my edit time for my most recent event. Being an action sports photographer, cropping is a core part of my workflow and this new snapping effect means instead of moving my selection freely I have to back and forth with opposite corners. Totally inefficient. I will never understand why a feature around such a core function is not introduced more softly or at the very least given an on/off toggle. I am dreading editing the three events I am covering this weekend unless this is fixed rapidly. Genuinely the kind of change that forces me to consider alternative products. I cannot afford to have a significant part of my workflow double in length.

Still no roll back or fix. I'll be searching alternatives for editing today.

Yesss!! Completely broke my workflow of birds photography cropping! 
Tries to “help” the user, but removes fine control on a software where fine control is exactly the whole point!

Please reverse this ASAP

Absolute garbage to remove creative decisions away from creators. What the heck are y'all thinking? Give me an off button or cancel my subscription

I have the same problem after an update, a terrible feature which cannot be turned off - I want to crop then drag to where I want to - the snap prevents whole areas being effectively cropped to

Lightroom is really going downhill at an accelerated rate. I'm looking into alternatives that don't require a subscription, don't mandate bad features, and don't use AI trash.

How do I disable the automatic centering that now occurs when cropping in lightroom mobile with the latest update? The app automatically centers the crop on what it believes to be the subject, and I don't want to keep fighting the app to edit my photos the way that I want to edit them.
