Title: Help! How to create vertical crop (or rotate horizonal crop) crop in LR4?
Post by: AFairley on April 14, 2012, 11:56:09 am

I am stumped on this, yet the answer must be simple.  If I set a custom crop (1.67 x 2.17 to be specific), it "takes" as a horizontal crop, i.e. 2.17 x 1.67.  No matter what I do, I can't get a vertical crop on the image.  What am I missing?

The 'x' key.

Or, if you are a visual type, just grab any corner and pull it inward and toward top or bottom. Sounds more difficult to describe than do.

Thank you both.  Time to revisit the tutorials, I guess.   ;). Surprised the option did not appear in a context menu.
