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 knew CC would have some limitations, but still very surprised something so simple and useful is missing...

+1 Recently looked at making the switch to CC but this is a deal-breaker. Couldn't use this app for more than 30 minutes before running into this.

This would be great. I just found it that this feature does not exist when I went to do a 32:9 for a dual monitor export.

+1. It's ridiculous that such a core image processing functionality was not already implemented when it was launched but even more ridiculous is the fact that 1 year later it's still not there! Come on Adobe, just 2 freaking input boxes to specify custom ratio.

I'm voting for Custom crop feature.  Please, please.  I have some very specific sizes that I use that are not available otherwise.
thanks!

Hi,
I would like to add (and save) some customized ratios to guarantee consistency in cropping operations, in my case for panoramic ratios (17:6 as for the amazing Fuji GX617 in the past).
If providing a "save customized ratios" capability is not as easy as I could expect, you should provide in the meantime a way to let the user edit the two values of the ratio when he selects the "Customized" option in the local menu of the "Crop and Rotate" panel.
Thanks in advance.

This is not that hard. Just do it, please. Now I have to exact-crop images in GIMP, which is terrible 😄

I wish I had that kind of power! 😉 The number of votes does influence their priorities, so if you have other photographer friends who also want this feature, get them to come and vote too.

Victoria, This seems to be an old feature request, that never got traction.

Are you a mod or dev that can jam this into the pipeline? (sorry new to the community, not sure who does what around here).

I know Lightroom CC is supposed to be user friendly, and accessible to most, but a custom defined crop is kinda basic. we should have this feature.

I gave up my classic+photoshop subscription in favor of the mobility of this program. kinda regret that move now...
