P: Need a fast and easy way to see Aspect Ratios on photos in Lr Classic.

I am missing a way to fast and easy see the aspect ratio of a photo. I have several virtual copies of an image, with different aspect ratios depending on use. 4:3 for print, and 4:5 for Insta and so on.

 

This would be a time saving feature for quickly exporting the right image at the right time. I am aware that adding a tag, or colour would achieve the similar effect. But again, thats adding another step and taking more time. As cropping and aspect ratio is just a part of the established workflow of every photographer. Having this information ready would save time and increase efficiency.

 

I am thinking Loupe View should have this info. Either as a separate data point to ad in the "Library View Option" or as a part of "Common photo settings" like this:
1/125 sec at f/2,8, ISO 800, 100mm (FE 70-200mm F2.8 GM OSS) 4:5

 

Or as an attribute data point when sorting.

As of now, the only way to "check" the aspect ratio is to enter Develop mode and select the crop tool. So, two clicks for something that just should be a quick glance at the screen.

I agree that would be useful.  While waiting for Adobe to implement this, you could use the Any Crop plugin, keeping its window always visible, e.g.
