P: Ability to name custom crops and have more than 5

I would like to be able to name custom crops in Lightroom. Saving them as ratios is great but one step further would be the ability to give them a relative name for certain projects or uses.Perhaps also not limit me to 5 custom ratios.

If we can have dozens of similar color profiles, we cn surely have more than 5 custom aspect ratios.  Retyping the same odd numbers repeatedly seems inappropriate for an advanced computer program.

Adobe please offer the ability to manage custom crop ratios.  It would be very useful to have the ability to delete, reorder and name custom crop ratios

Is there a way to create a new Aspect Ratio and have that size always available to select from the dropdown menu as shown below:

The last 3 "Custom Crops" are always shown at the bottom but they are not permanant and do not have a description.  Having a permanant ratio and description has be asked for several times

The Any Crop plugin lets you name any number of custom crop presets.

@josephlavine@lewis_cooper: The Ideas section of this community forum, where this thread is located, is the correct place to submit feature requests for LR.

Exactly as one would expect. But the link @josephlavine passed me redirects to the Discussions tab, try it. Or was your "wrong" meant for Joesph and not me? 🙂

Wrong, the Ideas tab in the community is where these request go now days.

Also, you direct me to a page with a dropdown… when I select Photoshop Lightroom Classic from that dropdown it takes me back to the forum, but instead lands me in 'Discussions', this isn't a "discussion", it's an idea. Did you guys know the 'Idea' section was there? Perhaps that's why this request has never been seen and therefore acted on.

Sorry, but this robotic templated response is downright rude. Especially to a request that is over a decade old with very clear, popular demand. Just send it to someone who'll see it. Surely it's 5 hour job, max.

Problem:
Whenever I create a new catalog the custom crop ratios I created in the previous catalog are no longer available. They must be re-added.

 

Solution:
Have a catalog independent set of crop ratio presets, just like Export presets. Easy!

 

Background:

Lightroom is a powerful cataloging tool and I leverage it to organize, crop and export the thousands of web stills that I shoot and add to my sites on a seasonal basis. I create a new catalog per brand per season and am frustrated that Lightroom can't simply store my favourite crop ratios and offer them up without me having to re-add them each time. Imagine having to do that for Export presets!
