Hello,
I see that Lightroom allows me to specify a crop of 4x3. What I would like is to make a crop of 3x4. Is there a way to do this via LR? I've tried the custom setting but doing that brings it to 4x3. I'm a little new to this so please let me know if I am misunderstanding the process.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Use the shortcut key X. This switches from horizontal to vertical and should do what you want.

Or, if you are a visual type, grab the crop by the corner and drag it, it will switch orientation.

Thanks for the X short cut. The grabbing by the corner did not work but I know it works in Print mode. I forgot to mention I was in the Develop mod.

It works in the Develop mode too, just might take a little practice. Once you figure it out, it's real easy.

Ok, I'll play with it more. Thanks.

Forgot to say, for it to work, the ratio has to be locked (the little lock icon).
