P: Ability to create a Custom Crop Ratio preset

It is truly confounding. Even from very early Photoshop days you could input custom numbers for the aspect ratio. Lightroom Classic CC lets you do it. I am using that even though Lightroom CC would be better overall for me, simply because I need to make many different SPECIFIC aspect ratios on a regular basis.

I'd like to know the reason for NOT having a custom aspect ratio.  It would need to be very good. Marina 

I feel like we missed the mark when the first guy only wanted to make a square... But we all know what we're talking about. Owens said it best - it's the consistency we seek when delivering a certain look. The random dragging of corners should never be mentioned on this thread. It is not an alternative or substitute to the workflow we've used for years and depend on. 

I'll update the thread title so it's completely clear

I think everyone in this thread is definitely talking about specifying custom ratios. 

I first posted about custom cropping a long time ago knowing that custom crop is possible, but I would love to at least get an update with common cinema aspect ratios. Even better would be the ability to make a custom ratio and save it as a preset for future use. I can’t imagine that this is difficult.

Agreed. They don't even show you the size while you're cropping, which makes it useless. 

I agree with the statement that custom crop is not possible. It is almost impossible to use the handles to create a crop of a pre-determined aspect ratio. While it could technically be argued that using the handles allows a crop to be created with an aspect ratio not one of the built-in presets, it can not be consistently applied. 

I have no thread here. I have had a supporter from Adobe to look at my PC. He caused only a lot of problems with my PC because he wanted to reinstall Windows. I get that from Adobe that even though I have fully updated Windows 10, I have to reset my bios or something similar.

If you unlock the lock, you can crop to anything you like (a custom crop). You're not restricted to the limited preset ratios. 

Don't get me wrong, I support the request for specifying custom ratios, but some people reading could misunderstand.
