Simple thing:

 

When Cropping the dimensions of the image/photo (in pixels) should be displayed in the UI.

This would allow us to crop precisely.

 

This is a standard in the photographic  industry and LR doesn't have it.

It's a must do.

 

 

P.S.

(If this was alsed already I am sorry, I searched and nothing come up)

See screenshot of Lr Crop with the Info Window.

 

 With a workaround we have it but it's not good at all because at today that info does not update in real time, as we crop, but only updates when we relase the crop.

The dimensions info shoudlbe diplyed by default, in the Crop UI...even Dropbox does it right while Lr fails to do it.

Another major raw editor, that allows non destuctive workflow diplays the dimensions of the iamge while croppin, in real time, seamless, flawless...it works and it is great.

 

Lr is missing this for no real reason.

Many other post processing programs are destructive, LrC is non destructive, big difference. What you want, to actually crop to specific dimensions is destructive.

This is available in many, many other softwares.

 

And we can already display the dimensions with an Info Window BUT that's a workaround, that's not the proper way.

Further, the crop and pixels never come into reality until you export the image. At that point, you can define how many pixels, the same, less or more, you want from that crop.

Cropping in LrC is proportonal not by pixel.
