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.

The case is clear and easy , simply the possibility to save numerous custom crop presets in Lightroom, that's what computers are for , remember simple number things , so we can use them quickly

Very much needed indeed. I have many clients that request different ratio's than the standard ones. To be able to save / edit those would a great timesaver!

I like this idea!

Maybe it would be possible to have the same mechanism for the crop ratios as with the metadata presets or filenaming presets, where one can add/modify/delete them!

A bigger issue than naming and number is the fact that you simply can't delete them. Custom Crop got a minimum dusting, and it needs a little polish! I'd like a larger number, I'd like to see 16x9 and 4X3 in the default crops, and the ability to delete them. Names would be the cherry on top.

Names would be a nice touch. And >5 too... (nesting and/or scroll for everything...)

I like this idea David!

My only concern with letting the number of custom crops grow is the issue we have with presets. If LR gets a better way to present presets in drop downs like this then I'm on board for removing the 5 custom limit as well.
