Feeling like this is probably the best thread to reply to; I have a similar request for LRCC to have the ability to add 18.75%. On a 4K monitor, it would be a great percentage to be able to get an overview of the image while keeping most details visible (24MP photos, about 24" from eyes to screen)

Any interest there?

What is "LRCC"? Lightroom-Classic or Lightroom-(Cloud). (All Adobe Apps use the Creative Cloud CC to install.)

If it is Lightroom-Classic you are using (You ask in the Classic forum), then the answer from @GoldingD is still the same.

'Zoom' in Lightroom-Classic is not like Photoshop, or other pixel editors. Lightroom-Classic uses Previews, in a Preview Cache, and it saves a set of previews for each photo at the default % steps provided.

If you find one zoom ratio you like (eg. 100%)- select that % then select another (eg. "Fill" ) - Now the [Space Bar] will toggle your view between those two steps- Fill<>100%

Regards. My System: Windows-11, Lightroom-Classic 15.1.1, Photoshop 27.3.1, ACR 18.1.1, Lightroom 9.0, Lr-iOS 10.4.0, Bridge 16.0.2 .

One zoom method that is often overlooked is as follows. Hold down the Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) key and drag a rectangle around the area you want to zoom into. Lightroom will zoom in to fit the rectangle on screen. This allows zooming to any percentage, except that you cannot define the percentage in numbers but define it by dragging that rectangle.

Can 'Automatic' White Balance and/or 'Automatic' Tint implemented as automatic import setting or automatic development pre setting?

Start with a photo in Develop that has WB: Auto set. Create a Develop preset named "WB Auto" with just the option White Balance checked. Then in the Import window's right column, set Apply During Import > Develop Settings to WB Auto.

Now when you import photos, the WB Auto preset will be automatically applied.
