P: Ability to create a Custom Crop Ratio preset

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Where is the "Enter Custom..." option from the old Lightroom and how do we get it back (see attachments)? I like to make my photos 1080x1080 for Instagram and was able to do this in the LR Classic version.

Hey Greg, I just tried it after the new update and you can type in your custom ratio now. What is your hold up with it exactly?

That has been just implemented in the 4.3 version!

I don’t have a hold up. Adobe is not adding a feature that should have been in early iterations of the mobile Lightroom app. People clearly want it. Maybe it’s a premium feature or it isn’t available on iPhone, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Mobile is what we need to push for now but I also think we should be thankful that at minimum the desktop Lightroom client has finally been updated to give this ability.  Baby steps 

[Lumberjack0325]

Okay, the hold-up is the update is available on the desktop app of Lightroom CC. I'm sure mobile will be coming out with it soon as well.

@Rikk Thank you and the team for finally making this request a reality.  Now all we need is the ability to do the same via mobile clients and I think this thread can officially be retired!

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

I’m grateful for the responses, but I am definitely not using whatever program you guys are showing me, because I cannot make a custom crop preset on my phone. I  believe that is what everyone is here for, but please point me to the correct topic if I’m wrong. 

[adamDr]

*greg_bergeron this post is about Lightroom Desktop (Cloud-based) and this is where it has been implemented. You'll need to find a Mobile app post or open a new one.

[FeedbackCommunityMember]

Exactly. We need this on the mobile version too! Preferably faster than than the 3.5 years the desktop one took. 🙂

I started a post about this topic

(Custom ratio in lightroom mobile) in 2014. It was merged with this topic a few years(!) later. Forget it people, not in this live ...

[ali5CED]

Hi! Mobile user here, as someone who loves cinematic aspect ratios, I hope a 21:9 aspect ratio option is coming to crop soon. Up until now I've had to use another app.

Thanks!

This would be amazing and would really help in simplifying the process of editing anamorphic photos!

[Grumpy Bot]

Hi, I am often using the 65:24 crop format when editing my images. Unfortunately I can't do that in LR Mobile, because the format is not in the list. Therefore it would be great if you could add it!

Alternatively, being able to explicitly define custom crop formats (by typing in the numbers) would also work of course.

[Reclaimed Halo]

Bump!

We sorely need this on the mobile apps for the iPad and the Android apps. It's really annoying not being able to enter a custom crop factor. Dragging the crop lines is just not precise enough. 

[benb40720582]

Bump as well. Def need this. 

In addition would be nice to actually be able to do the anamorphic desqueeze in Lightroom.

Hi, saving a custom ratio would be cool.

[thor74hh]

I have had this issue for a while. In some instances I am using the feature in LR (Mac version) to crop an image to a specified pixel ratio. This is helpful (and somewhat necessary) for some blogs (mine for example, when I want to set a featured image for my self hosted WordPress blog) and it's convenient.
Now, as I am travelling, I am using the LR App (cloud) on iPhone and iPad for quick shots and quick edits. Great tool!! But I am missing just this feature. Right now, I am "eyeballing" it when cropping, but as there is a specified pixel ratio, I'd love to see this feature in the apps. I believe, it has been on the desktop version since the dawn of time. 
Is it too difficult to implement it on the mobile version?

[Jim Wilde]

It's never been possible to crop to a specific pixel size in any version of Lightroom (cloud-centric or Classic), except by trial and error. All there here has ever been is the ability to crop to a specified pixel ratio, and that functionality exists in the LrMobile app as well as in Lightroom Desktop and Lightroom Classic.

The ability to crop to a specified pixel size has been requested many times over the years, so your post may be consolidated into an existing feature request thread.

[thor74hh]

Hi Jim,

My mistake - an error in translation. 
what I meant was pixel ratio!

This is possible in the desktop version, but I have not found it in the Mobil ones I'm using while travelling or out in the field. 
example: for one task I want to crop to 1200 x 628 pixels. Eyeballing is currently the only option and I would be happy for a way to be more precise. Other than working on the MacBook. 
I have not been able to discover that feature in the App. Are you able to direct me to the correct setting?

I can only see fixed choices or "custom" where I can drag, but not enter a ratio. 
Would appreciate any help immensely!

Cheers,

Michael

Ah, yes....you're reference to "exact pixel size" threw me a bit. So what you are asking for is the ability to create and save and use custom crop ratios on LrMobile, as per the Lightroom desktop app, right? Sadly that's not possible in LrM at this time, but hopefully your request will be considered (I'd settle for any custom ratio created in LrDesktop to be synced to the LrM versions, but that wouldn't help the LrM-only users of course).

[thor74hh]

Yes, sorry about the confusion. 
Exactly that would be great. Possibility to sync custom preset ratios would be a huge step. At least I'm using both desktop and mobile version. 

Have a good weekend!

[Hessel0101]

Why is it not possible to make a custom crop ratio? Like on the desktop version? Now I have to

do copy settings and only select crop from a previous edit, such a waste of time...

[Ilyès S.]

It would be great if we could type precisely which custom ratio to use when croping photos in lightroom mobile, for instance if I want to use a 3x1 crop for a panorama, instead of guessing approximately how that would look on the mobile version and refine it in the Cloud version. 

I'm editing photos on the go, and for now, there are a few things that I still need to do when I get back home. 

[Nick Wagner]

It would be great for the mobile Lightroom for iPad to have this feature. Just downsized my kit from a Mac book pro to an iPad and I miss the feature to set whatever specific aspect ratio I want (ie, 6x7, 25x64). Would be a great quality of life upgrade for those of us who switch from Classic desktop to the cloud-based system

[ignacy]

Please add the ability to specify (and save!) a custom aspect ratio in the crop tool.
