P: Enable Zoom with Crop Tool

Yes, it make sense...  We ask for it in 2012 and we are still waiting...

I work on photos at 25% viewing size because I find LRCC performs more quickly. Whether this is true or just my imagination, I've noticed that while working at this view size, initializing the crop tool, my view changes to "Fit" (the photo takes up more real estate on the screen). Once I finish cropping, my view returns to the % view I was originally working at. The switch between view sizes is sort of jarring.

I propose allowing the crop tool to function at a viewing % lower than "Fit". 

Does that make sense?

Using the SDK I created a plug-in that allows to enter precise Dimensions.

Yet another basic feature that has been longly asked and SHOULD have been implemented alongside the ability to crop when zoomed.

Hi,

I was in contact with Glyn Dewis who does work for Adobe, Scott Kelby etc and he says he will raise the issue directly with Adobe so. fingers crossed that this simple issue will be finally resolved.  

As of  3 April 2024, it's still not possible to zoom while cropping. 

Is it still not possible to zoom while cropping in 2024?

Hi:)  I often zoom in while looking at a photo in the Develop section of Lightroom Classic.  Sometimes I want to crop it right from where it is zoomed in.  Is there a way (or short cut command) that I can just crop what I am looking at when I zoom in on a photo?  WIthout selecting the crop area becasue when I bring it into the Crop selection it loses the zoomed in portion I had.  I have a Macbook Pro. Thank you

Users have been pleading, begging, screaming, and cursing lighjtroom for 10-1/2 years now for this simple fix that nearly every other editing ap has had for those 10-1/2 years.

So, it looks like Adobe will just continue to ignore all the users. I wonder how many have abandonded LR/PS for ogther software. It is about to become one more.

I lost count of the threads on Reddit vides on YouTube etc. that are complaining about this for over 10 years.

Come on Adobe, gety of yopur fat ******* and listen to the people who are funding you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Simply ignoring the issue for 10 years is totally lame.

Magnifying Glass gadget for precise cropping

Magnifying Glass gadget to the Crop tool, similar to the Guided Vertical Position tool will be essencial for some types of work, such as photographing artworks
 

Lightroom need the ability to zoom while cropping.

I saw a thread of 2012 that ask for that feature... We are now in 2023 !!!  We are still waiting...
I saw that there is a plugin "Any crop" that exist.  If someone can make that plugin, Adobe should be able to add it to its software !
