P: Enable Zoom with Crop Tool

This may have already been suggested, but it would be nice if the zoom feature in Lightroom 4 could be enabled while using the crop tool to make refined adjustments to the crop area. At present, there is only a clumsy work-around using the secondary display for refined crop adjustments.

    This is a badly needed feature . I really need zoom with crop in order to do very small crops.

    Since there is endpoint zoom when using the guided transform function, it seems possible to add this to crop/level too.

    The app has zoom while crop... why is Adobe so reluctant to implement this in the desktop version!?

        Without the possibility to zoom in It’s almost impossible not only to crop but also to straighten image precisely and this is a real must in almost every pro post-production process. Please Adobe, listen to your customers, since we are kindly asking this for years.

        Just as in Photoshop where you can zoom in on the image to choose exactly where you would like to crop to, I would like to see some sort of similar functionality in Lightroom. Currently, the only solution is to crop the image while viewing its entirety, which doesn't allow for much space to choose where to drag a crop frame to, especially on a smaller screen.
