How can I change "crop overly" for a different cropping. In the old version (LR 5) it was by selecting letter "o" several times. Now I installed the new version (LR CC) and it doesn't work in that way. Any ideas?

Greetings,

 

The Max 2021 Photography products updates have been released and include remedies for this topic.  The updates will be rolling out worldwide, October 26 and 27, 2021. If you do not see the updates in your Creative Cloud Desktop app, you can refresh the apps to see if the updates are available in your region.  The keyboard shortcut to refresh is [Cmd/Ctrl] + [Opt/Alt] + [ R ]. 

 

Note: iOS and Android updates may take up to a week to appear in your App Store.

 

Thank you for your patience.

Please add more crop overlays.  The 1/3 is a good start, but the others in LR desktop (X overlay) is also one that would be very good to have.  Can we please add more?

Unlike with Lightroom Classic, I can't cycle through different grid options (golden ratio, rule of thirds, etc) when using the crop tool - please add this feature!!!

This would be useful.

Dear developer team,
please do finally add the golden spiral and other overlays to the Lightroom app. Also keep in mind to have the spiral flippable and rotatable and whatnot, to allow us to perfectly cut our images and get a feel for it.

Cropping Grids that are available in Photoshop Added to Lightroom Mobile App and Lightroom. I would love it if these features were available in the Cloud based Lightroom and the Mobile version.

Why aren't crop overlays an option in Lightroom CC? They are in PS and apparently in LR Classic.This option has been available for many years, yet my current subscription doesn't allow me to access this tool. I get only a Rule of Thirds and no other options.

I would love to migrate to Lightroom CC from Lightroom Classic CC but there's one thing stopping me: I can't cycle through crop overlays! Ones such as the golden ratio were very useful to me, and I don't want to only use the rule of thirds overlay. Please implement the crop overlays from Lightroom Classic CC, I would love to use Lightroom CC if they were there!

Lightroom CC is not 'the new version of Lr5'. Lightroom Classic is. Lightroom CC is an entirely new application that still lacks a lot of functions that Lightroom Classic has.
