Crop with No Restrictions in Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom® CC

In this lesson, learn how to crop a photo freely without restricting the crop to a ratio or specific dimensions.

To crop without restrictions:

1. Open your photo in the Develop module.
2. Select Crop Overlay. By default, the crop box is constrained to a specific ratio.
3. Click the closed lock icon to open it. The crop box is now unconstrained.
4. Click and drag a handle on the crop box. 
5. You can also use a corner handle to rotate the crop box.
6. Click Done to complete the crop.
