Unable to post cropped images to IG so I have decreased the scale using the uncropped image, a white border is produced around a smaller image and am then able to successfully post to IG. Have been doing this for years without a problem.

Did this yesterday and this is what resulted.

Correct answer richardplondon

the non-straight boundary of the image relates to a numerical transform or geometric lens correction. Normally this would get trimmed off by checking Constrain Crop.

I assume IG means Instagram. Why - specifically - do you say that you are "unable" to post cropped images?

Many people routinely do that.

Your suggestion solved the problem. Thank you. yes IG = instagram. yes you can post uncropped images to IG but what happens is that there is a white border on the top and sides of the image but not on the bottom. it looks weird.

So I posted the corrrected images (as per your suggestion) and IG chopped them all up.

these are the Instagram specifications for uploaded photos. If the uploaded photo is not of the same aspect ratio as the display of the device being used, you can expect to either see only the zoomed-in central part of what you have uploaded, or else to see it not filling the display - neither has to do with the uploaded image, per se, except that it may influence you to crop to a different aspect ratio in the first place. There is no need to use Scaling at all, AFAICT, to have Export deliver the output you want. Just crop the image suitably inside the Catalog, then Export / upload that cropped image with suitable output specifications.

Can you show any screenshots of what is currently going on for you (with what you have called a 'cropped' image), that you do not like? First as it is seen within Lr Classic and then as it is seen within Instagram.

We don't know what you did. Please describe in detail, step-by-step, leaving nothing out. Also tell us what software you are using and the version NUMBER (and not words like "latest" or "up-to-date", we need the NUMBER). Also, I prefer you include your screen capture via the "Insert Photos" icon, and not as a file attachment, as I cannot download and view file attachments. Thanks.

Sonoma 14.6.1 Working with the uncropped image in the develope module I move the SCALE slider to the left until the value is 69. In the past this has resulted in a much smaller image with an equidisatant white border on all 4 sides. I cannot figure out how to use the insert photos icon.

As per richarddplondon's suggestion -clicking the CONSTRAIN TO IMAGE solved the problem.
