Can't set a custom crop ratio in Lightroom?

UberTiger · 31 Jan 2020 at 11:33

I have Adobe CC and have just loaded up Lightroom for the first time.

I'm trying to crop to a specific photo size for printing, but it seems the custom crop ratio setting from Lightroom classic is gone (accorsing to forum posts from googling, they used to have it).

Can it really be that this isn't possible in Lightroom?? It seems like such a basic feature for a photo editor?

Adobe Lightroom (Online version) does not have all the features of Lightroom Classic.

I tried Lightroom (online) and found a large number of things I use missing, switched back to the Classic.

This is the full app, not online.

I've just jumped into Photoshop intead and they've got a great custom crop tool. Madness that it's not in Lightroom.

You must be missing something as I'm looking at it right now with the latest version of LR

Weird. I'm on 3.1, with no updates available according to Adobe CC

Your image doesn't load full size when I click on it.

Right looks like you are running Lightroom (formerly Lightroom CC), this version does not have full functionality.

The full desktop app is Lightroom Classic (formerly Lightroom Classic CC).

@UberTiger Yep, you using that Lightroom Online version not the Classic Desktop version.

Ahh, how bizarre, thanks guys.

Yep, looks like they've got the cross platform version of lightroom as default now, even as the desktop app on my PC.

For classic I have to scroll down to where all the old and obsolete apps are like dreamweaver, how strange!

I would expect classic to have less features than the non classic version.

The online version is cross platform including mobile OS. The Classic version is desktop OS afaik.
