P: Add Inches/Centimeters and Live Print Dimensions to the Crop Tool

Please add an option in Lightroom Classic's Crop tool to display the physical dimensions of the current crop in inches or centimeters, calculated at a user-selectable print resolution such as 300, 240, or 200 PPI.

Ideally, while cropping, Lightroom could display information such as:

7200 × 4800 px | 34.6 MP | 30 × 20 inches @ 240 PPI

As the photographer moves the crop boundaries, these values should update live.

An optional inch/cm ruler around the crop area would also be extremely useful.

This would allow photographers preparing images for fine-art and large-format printing to immediately understand the effect of a crop on the final printable dimensions without leaving the Crop tool or manually calculating pixels, megapixels, and print size.

Lightroom already has the pixel information necessary to perform these calculations. Providing this information directly in the Crop tool would make cropping for print considerably faster and more intuitive.

    While waiting for Adobe to implement this, the Any Crop plugin lets you enter a PPI and it will show the size of the current crop in centimeters or inches:
