I'm new to LrC for just over a year and frankly only use seasonally (in winter I catch up on my managing my images the prior year - I golf, etc in summer/fall)...during my off season I 'forget' what I've learned....these videos ARE THE BEST. Your training detail level allows a nubie to help think through a way to manage images - I'm through the 1st 8 of these and I can make decisions on how I want to move forward with my photo dbase. These are sufficient detail and length to be very easy to review. Prior to this I was somewhat worried how far down a 'rabbit hole' (so to speak) do I go to discover I made a wrong decision. I would say that the 1st 8 have given me enough to know HOW I want/need to go forward - EXCELLENT production here my dear Sir!!
This is Episode 8 of Mastering Lightroom Classic CC. In this video, I demonstrate all the functions of the Crop Tool, in Lightroom.

Thanks for another great video! The way a human brain learns, retains, and recalls info is quite fascinating (somehow through chemical reactions I believe) and no doubt varies from one person to the next. Regardless of the latest idea on what teaching approach works best, your "relaxed" teaching style is always welcome and effective.
Just wanted to say thanks. I’m new to photography and post processing in my 61st year and loving your teaching through this video series. I’ve tried a couple of other paid options, just wish I had found your videos first. Purchased some downloads and made a donation. Thanks again. Terry
Thanks for this great set of tutorials on LR. They're so well executed. Even though LR Classic has changed some since you produced these, they're still very applicable. Thanks for taking the time share your knowledge.
Hey , you are amazing! nice way of explaining & teaching, perfect speech speed. love to see your tutorials. thank you so..so much for sharing your knowledge and tips. I feel there is no better way to learn Lr CC other than your videos!
Hi Anthony, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with in-depth explanation of Crop tool. None of them, so far, as per me, haven't briefed about crop tool, they rather get into the details of elements around and a quick wrap up. There isn't a part of video wherein I could skip or felt like forwarding. Thanks again.
awesome really enjoy going to each video and learning in bits and pieces so you dont get overwellmed. my question is, is it better to sharpen or anything else last because of pixels? hope that makes sense.
I think there is some sort of optical illusion because of the turn of the lake and the base of the building when compared to the horizon. I saw you straighten it and knew it was straight but it still seemed off. I run into that occasionally.
I subscribe to Lightroom but in the past I learned to Adobe Bridge together with Photoshop. Anyhow, I recently learned that the Crop tool has a content-aware fill option. I was wondering when I would need that. Well, I have been using the Upright tool available in the Camera Raw Filter. Sometimes I run out of picture in the corners when the screen is rotated. Then I have up to 4 corners to fill. I go corner to corner and select the triangular area and do a content aware fill. Now, I see that I may sometimes have a workaround. Rotate in the Crop tool with the content-aware option on and PS will try to fill the corners. If the picture is something simple like a picture of someone standing against a wall, it works great. I could also change the dimensions slightly by pulling on the horizontal or vertical side and it will fill that. Then if go back into the Upright sub-tool, I have enough space around the image. Do you cover that option of crop tool anywhere?
Hi Tony. I hope you can help me. Its just an annoyence really. In my crop/straighten tools, I have created several stupid custom ratios that I cant get rid of in the drop down for Custom ratios (adjacent top the padlock) in my LR 6. is there a way I can delete the ones Ive created that I do not want please. Many Thanks
I'm not really understanding the cropping ratio for printing. 9-11 min mark So what it is showing isn't going to print, it's cropping. So you won't ever get the full picture? How would I get an 8x10 of my picture? How do all those ratios work with printing?
Very good video and the trick of limiting the overlays was worth the price of admission. BUT tthere's one thing that has bugged me about both LR and PS cropping for years and that is bringing a crop line to a to the [ixel point and NOT having it move. And yes I know about the snappiong issue but even if you fix that, a) the fix doesn't "hold" and B) is still doesn't really work.
Thank you. That shift/O trick was new to me and was desperately needed. Question. I have a 27 inch monitor and I've noticed that LR automatically jumps to full screen when cropping. I often find this to be too big for my tastes. Do you know of a way to make the image smaller while cropping?
Hi, I opine using a vertical of the wall of the building when cropping, as long as parallax is not present may help get horizon in line. Do you have a video for removing parallax effect, please?
No, you would crop it to the ratio you want then export it to the long side pixel size you want. Just don't crop it smaller than what you plan to export it at.
Anthony Morganti ok! another question: maintaining the same ratio and orientation, are there some differences if I crop the image instead of zoom in it with the scale in lens corrections panel? thanks so much!

Finally, CROPPING SOLVED!!!! thank you Anthony....
i liked the teaching way that you are jumping around.. thanks..
My guy! Thanks for this series. I'm working my way through. Very thorough. Very detailed. Very useful! Thanks so much x
Thank You So Much. I'm Learning So Much From Your Videos and Which Lightroom To Get.
Absolutely the best set of vids on the subject ever!
This is amazing. Had no idea the crop panel was so robust, especially with the overlays. Thank you!
Always love your tutorials! Thank you Anthony for your time & efforts you put in to teaching!!
Thank you!
This man knows his stuff and he is very good at showing it
Thank you for the information and for the methodology
Great series of videos

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial
Love the new series. Going thru each one. I am fairly proficient with Lightroom but I ALWAYS learn something new from you.
Wow! Didn't think another lesson on cropping would be interesting. Thank YOU.
Thanks Ozzie!
Hey , you are amazing! nice way of explaining & teaching, perfect speech speed. love to see your tutorials. thank you so..so much for sharing your knowledge and tips. I feel there is no better way to learn Lr CC other than your videos!
Keep up the good work Anthony! I have already learned so much from your videos!
Thankyou so much for this series of videos. Because of you I am now quite good at editing raw.
Terrific explanation of the Crop Overlay tool. Learned a lot!!
Hi Anthony, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with in-depth explanation of Crop tool. None of them, so far, as per me, haven't briefed about crop tool, they rather get into the details of elements around and a quick wrap up.

As always, I leaned a lot and understood more than before.
Great series, I am learning and understanding so much. Thanks.
awesome really enjoy going to each video and learning in bits and pieces so you dont get overwellmed. my question is, is it better to sharpen or anything else last because of pixels? hope that makes sense.
Great job. I always learn something new from your LR videos.
Thanks for all your teaching. Always pick up a trick or two.
Thank you for watching!

Another great learning video. Thanks for educating me.
Thanks, just found your videos, nice, to the point and simply explained, appreciate the time.
Love your video, thanks, I appreciate it
do i just go to custom setting and put in 16x20 if i want to print this size because i don't see this size to pick from the crop section?

Do you cover that option of crop tool anywhere?
Hello, is there a way to crop to a specific amount of pixels? Thank you.
Lights Out mode (L key) is a great help when cropping. PS. Did I hear your kitty-cat at 9:53?
Great tip and yes you did hear him!
Thank you!
Have you done a tutorial on the circle crop?
Hi Tony. I hope you can help me. Its just an annoyence really.

Liked the video before it even started.....was not wrong.

How do you crop an object inside a photo and move it freely?
Do your presents all work in LR Classic 8.0 / Camera Raw 11.0? Your preset page just shows up to 6.0.
Thanks! Tremendous value!!!
Thank you for watching!
Be nice if Adobe made the overlay lines more pronounced. Need to strain on some photos to see them. Think they made them thinner some versions back.
I am unable to get an 11x14 crop and was hoping to learn how to do that.
is possible to crop an image with the original aspect ratio but also with a wanted pixel dimension? for example, a crop with 3000px in lenght?
No, you would crop it to the ratio you want then export it to the long side pixel size you want. Just don't crop it smaller than what you plan to export it at.
Anthony Morganti ok! another question: maintaining the same ratio and orientation, are there some differences if I crop the image instead of zoom in it with the scale in lens corrections panel? thanks so much!
To crop also means to zoom in, to,enlarge!
