The new smart collection select for lens blur in the v13.2 is a much welcome addition.
Thanks a bunch.

Please do consider expanding the Aspect ratios to more than just Portrait, Landscape and Square. Except for square the other two doesn't provide much help when either one can mean more than just portrait or landscape.
Propose that the grouping be consistent with the default in Lightroom Classic. See Attached. 
I understand there are an infinite number of aspect ratios however the ones listed are the most common and the rest could be group as custom. 

One way could be to use the aspect ratios such as
Square (1x1)
Landscape (2x3)
Landscape (8.5x11)
etc
Portrait (3x2)
Portrail (11x8.5)

Ignore the pixels dimensioning.

Seconded on this feature, but I agree with richardplondon.  I'd love to just filter by aspect ratio greater than and smaller than some bounds. 

 

This is a common use case, for me at least, when I'm trying to search out croppings that I've made that are proportioned as either wallpapers for a phone, square (which is supported, I know), 5x7, 8x10, or more esoteric ones that are for a particular frame (digital or physical).

It would be a godsend for Lightroom to be able to have these. Decisions will have to be made on what fixed aspect ratios to support. At first look the ones that are hard coded in LrC's crop menu List would be a good start.

Interesting; yes perhaps. I'd propose filtering as ranges including standard shapes, not as those explicit shapes.

 

Agreed, only a matter of shape proportion, not of specific pixel dimension.

 

Ranges I would find helpful in my own usage would be something like:

square / landscape / portrait where both landscape and portrait are further subdivided into 4:3 or squarer, 3:2 down to 4:3; 16:9 down to 3:2; narrower than 16:9; all shapes of that orientation.
