Question

Hi,

I am using Lightroom Classic CC on pc (Win10) and I noticed that I cannot change the crop overlay type (third, golden ratio, etc.).

O key in develop mode does not work and same if I try to do it with the tool overlay from the top menu (it shows commanf in light grey and does not allow to select them).

Can anyone support me to fix it?

Thank you

I exactely did what you say.

It resets LR preferences, but the crop overlay options remain light grey and non-selectable.

Crop overlay settings are only available when the crop tool is active.

Make sure the overlay display is set to Auto or Always (press H to toggle between always/never)

You may have deselected too many options for the O to cycle through (preferences reset should have fixed this?)

With Crop tool active click on Tools menu -> Crop Guide overlay -> Choose overlays to cycle ...then confirm 3 or more options are checked

    Try renaming your preference file

    I should explain better. What I should have said is:

    Close Lightroom, then rename the preference file, then open Lightroom. Does that work?
