how do I 'lock in' a cropping proportion I want to use for a bunch of pictures?

I have a series of portraits that I want to crop all to the same proportion so they can be seen 'yearbook style' side by side. How do I do this correctly?

Yes, there are crop presets, and you can define your own presets too. But 4x6 is the same as 2x3, so it already exists and cannot be defined as 4x6. If your images are 3x2 rather than 2x3, then hit the 'X' key to rotate the crop 90 degrees.

My method would be to-

1) Select all portrait images

2) Keyboard [R] will open the Crop tool

3) Turn on AutoSync

4) Select an Aspect, or make a Custom ratio, (Keyboard [X] rotates crop 'landscape' <> 'Portrait')

5) Apply the crop 

6) Turn off AutoSync

7) Inspect each image for suitable framing- adjust individually if needed.

Or you can Copy&Paste from one image to multiple selected images (without AutoSync problems)

I have no idea what auto sync is or where it is but I'm sure this relates to what I am looking for. I will look it up and study. Thank you Rob.

" ..what auto sync is or where it is.."

In Develop module the large [SYNC] button at the base of the right-side panels will change to [AutoSync] when you click on the 'switch' on the button. When AutoSync is 'on' everything you do to one image (eg. a crop) will automatically sync to all selected photos on the filmstrip. It is a 'Dangerous' setting if you have unknowingly selected many, many photos. Always remember to turn AutoSync 'Off' when not needed.
