P: Ability to create a Custom Crop Ratio preset

Where is the "Enter Custom..." option from the old Lightroom and how do we get it back (see attachments)? I like to make my photos 1080x1080 for Instagram and was able to do this in the LR Classic version.

I understand that this still hasn't been fixed and I haven't been able to find any information from Adobe regarding this. There isn't a way for me to use Lightroom and be able to export a 5x3 ratio or anything custom. There is a custom option, but all it does is let you drag around and not actually type in a custom ratio. It's been several years of this and I'm about done with this workflow. Is Adobe still involved in Lightroom, or is it no longer supported?

I just learned that 6x7 has a 5:4 ratio which is already offered in Lightroom. So for me everything is fine 🙂

I have just moved over to CC cloud. I can't believe it's not a feature. I'm thinking the same, there are other tools out there...

Finally voted with my feet and cancelled my Creative Cloud subscription over this issue. It's bizarre that it remains unresolved - but hoping the others like me who are cancelling their subscriptions over this chime in here so Adobe knows it's a revenue issue. It can't take too many of us cancelling $600 / yr. subscriptions for the company to take notice, surely...

Does Exposure X5 come with all the cloud features (storage, multi-device synchronization etc?

Just bought a one-year license for CC but will likely return and try Exposure X5. Perpetual license for the price of one year of Lightroom. And guess what, Exposure X5 has a custom crop feature. Given that this thread is two years old it's obvious it's not a prioritized request and so it'd be wishful thinking that the feature would suddenly be added.

Please add a custom crop ratio feature. I shoot for several businesses who use specific ratios for their online catalogues, based on the type of product they sell. One clothes provider uses a crop of 7*16,  and I'm currently forced to split my editing between 2 platforms (classic on desktop and lightroom on Tablet) because this is missing. This failure to include such a basic feature means my own product turnaround time is longer and I cannot deliver the images without having to go to the office to complete my edits.

I just wanted to open a request for a crop ratio fitting the A-Standard paper side ratio (which is 1:sqrt(2)) for printing with desktop printers, but this seems even more useful and should definitively be possible.

I'm re-installing Classic so I can crop a photo to 11x17.  Yikes.
