How do I constrain a crop to a perfect square in Lightroom Classic?

TIA,

 

Ken

Then, if you wish an image file with specific pixels or inches you would need to export the image  an choose your needs e.g. 3000x3000. Pixels, Inches or CM and Lightroom will resize the image accordingly and create a new image.
