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.

Lightroom 4, angle tool can only be used at full scale, making it, often, difficult to place the tool's end points. I am proposing that the zoom view tool be active when using the angle tool so that an end can be picked or the view zoomed and then a point can be placed and then pan or change zoom scale to get to the place for the second angle tool point.

Hey!
I am a professional photographer from İstanbul/Turkey. I am using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and am in love with her! My suggestion is about a Loupe that appears while cropping. Some of my customers are art galleries and I shoot photos, paintings, etc. While cropping to the edges of paintings and stuff a loupe would be very usefull to see the edge of the painting zoomed in, so I can see exactly what I am leaving outside the cropbox.

Thank you very much

Yeah, the tricky/clumsy crop tool is not easy to use in an exact way.

Would love it if I could zoom in to fine-tune the edges.

Having this feature would be really helpful.

I get by with the current coarse approach but sometimes it requires multiple attempts to get the crop right.

Being able to zoom in (any level between "Fit' and "1:1" would be useful, not just "1:1", please).

I support this idea. I have finally got so good gear that I can make usable crops which are sometimes only 20-30% of the full image. Those crops are thumbnail-sized in the the crop tool because of the large, unused area surrounding them, and it is very difficult to get a good view of the result.
