Lightroom Library View/Loupe View should have option to view Image Aspect Ratio (i.e. 1.5). Often when selecting images for use in publications created in Indesign and also for planning for print and framing, it is useful and in many cases critical to know the edited images aspect ratio. This is a simple calculation with information aready captured and retained in Lightroom, namely Pixel Height/Pixel Width. To be able to immediately view and identify Edited images of select aspect ratios and even better to search and sort by image aspect ratio should be an easy and very useful to Lightroom users focused on Printing and or creation of publications, which I imagine most everybody. Please add this feature ASAP! Thx!

In Lightroom Classic, Adding the possibility to create smart collections based on aspect ratio 1:1, 2:3, 4:5,...will be very helpful !

You can use @johnrellis 's Any Filter plugin to do this and a LOT more

The aspect ratios set by cropping in Lightroom should be available as a filter property / smart collection property.

So if the image is not cropped inside of Lightroom, you get "Original", and in any other case the value you have set it to, including custom values. This should be easy to implement.

Fully agree it should be built-in to LR. While waiting for Adobe to implement it, you could use the Any Filter plugin:

Why is 'aspect ratio' in lightroom 'orientation' in bridge? And why cant I sort my images in Lightroom by numerical aspect ratios such as 4:3, 3:2, 1:1 etc? For that matter, why can't I sort by CROPPED aspect ratio such as 4 x 5, 8 x 10, 5 x 7 etc? Wouldn't this be incredibly useful for photographers? Or am I missing something here?

You can sort photos by numeric cropped aspect ratio in Library by doing View > Sort > Aspect Ratio.

It is indeed confusing that smart collections and the Library Filter bar use "aspect ratio" instead of "orientation". As you've discovered, there is no way to use filters or smart collections to search numeric aspect ratio.

However, the plugins Data Explorer and Any Filter do let you search numeric aspect ratio (both original and cropped).
