-love the app...can you consider giving us the golden spiral overlay for cropping? thanks keep up the fabulous work!

Very simple. I would like a rule of thirds, golden ratio, etc. set of overlays for cropping. I can get this in the Apple Photos app. It seems weird that my flow on mobile is to take photos off my camera, load into Apple Photos to crop, and then load into Lightroom. Shouldn't Lightroom offer this in the first place?

The crop overlay when editing in Lightroom mobile (Android, iOS) appears to only allow the "Rule of Thirds" overlay; It's limited. Is it possible to switch overlays? Triangles, Golden Rule, etc?

Please add these overlais to Mobile version of Lightroom! And moreover. Please make the Mobile version as good as full CC version. More people start to use their iPads and other mobile devises as their prime gear for editing. It feels so bad the mobile versions are so limited.

Overlays were added for Desktop in the 5.0 version.

Would love a different set of cropping overlays on Lightroom mobile. Specifically one to hone in on the center of the photo instead of just having the rule of thirds grid.

Hi there,

Does anyone know how to choose the crop overlay shown when using Lightroom mobile on a tablet? The program seems to only offer the rule of thirds, which seems very shortsighted. Any help is appreciated.

Additional crop overlays aren't yet available in LrMobile. They have, however, just been added to the Lightroom desktop version, which might be a positive sign that they'll be added to Mobile at some point.

Hi Jim
I want to ask if there is any progress on this functionality of the Crop tool or does it need to be submitted as an official idea/improvement suggestion?

I really miss the different overlays on the mobile app.

This is a feature in normal Lightroom. Please can it be added to Mobile? I want to use a big iPad Pro to edit my photos but this is one tool I am missing from the regular software. It also doesn't appear of Lightroom Desktop.
