I am looking for a way to create a custom crop overlay.  The few that Lightroom offer don't work when trying to do consistant head sizing in the program.

    See the images below. In the Lightroom Classic crop tool, click on Custom, enter the Custom Crop Ratio you want then, back in the Crop Tool, the new Custom Crop Ratio will show up in the list for you to choose.

    Sorry about these images, I had to use my iPhone since my snip tool would turn off the list where the custom selection is.

    I think when you are cropping in photoshop/bridge/lightroom RAW it would be nice if we had an option to overlay a 8:10 ratio (4:5) on top of the 4x6 crop. This way we can crop to the normal 4:6 but still make sure that the photo can be made into an 8x10 later without cutting out important details (or heads). This can be similiar to the viewfinder inserts you can buy that shows an 8x10/16x20 crop on alot of dslr cameras.

      Been requested since prior to 1.0. Not sure why this one is difficult.
