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.

Victoria, it's even worse, because it clearly means that "engine" is in place. Custom ratios can be handled. The only problem is that the way how to input those ratios is by dragging handles with mouse. All we're asking to have two simple input boxes where to specify those ratio numbers. That's it. And looking at this "problem" with eyes of full time software developer (which I am) makes me absolutely mad that we're even having and discussing "issue" like this....

Incorrect. Custom literally means the ability to customize to your own specifications. Browsing through their limited preset ratios is not "custom."

To clarify, you can custom crop, you just can't specify its ratio. That's what this request is for.

Where's your thread about not being able to use LRCC Torben?

Once I could use Lightroom CC (I can't do that now). Back then I had the same problem.
I have updated Windows 10, but I still can't use Lightroom CC. Adobe says I need to upgrade Windows. That's exactly what I've done.
It is impossible to get in touch with Adobe in a renewable way.
I'm considering finding another imaging program. Are there any experiences with alternatives to Adobe?

It's absolutely crazy that you can't custom crop in Lightroom CC. It's the first and most basic thing that anyone working with images online needs to do. Canva does it for free. Get your act together Adobe.

Any idea when this will be implemented? Want to prepare my pictures for my Apple Watch, which has a weird crop factor so now I need to export everything out of Lightroom to crop it accordingly. Also have the same issue with my phone for background images and my screen (21:9) which are not supported...

Vote where? I agree, it's a basic tool.
