oh my gosh THANK YOU! i took over 7,000 burst photos on vacation and I’m making a stop motion video. to crop each of these individually would have been my worst nightmare. Thanks for your help!

Great tip Matt, but I can’t seem to change the paper size on my Dell laser printer to a typical print size (5×7) for this to work. Any ideas?

Hi Matt,

Good video, but….
Select; in develop; one photo and use crop to f.i. 4×5, shift-cmd-c, aspect ratio, then select all other photographs and sync. When selecting a new photo just use R for cropping and you have the 4×5 crop or what you choosed, then use R again to see the result. That way you can use a standard crop for every photograph.

Greetings Roeland

Hey Matt,

Great video. I like creating Print Templates of differnt sizes. My question: When we use the “Zoom to fill” choice in the PRINT MODULE options, the image fills my 5×7 frame. For vertical prints that’s nice, but if I have a landscape print, it will zoom to fill, but only allow me the option to slide the pic right & left. Is there a way to resize the image so that I can reduce the print within the 5×7 frame, and show more of the tops and bottom?

Hi Matt, Quick question:
Which is better to Export your images, the Library or Print module?

I ask because my proof book maker wants images sized to 4×6 so your recent “Batch Crop” video was very useful. Thanks.

I was just wondering why I do not get the hand when I set my settings as Matt does? Also, I am wondering if there is a way to preview ICC profiles in Lightroom

Hi Matt,
Your video is great for cropping to a fixed aspect ratio. Is there a way of cropping like in Photoshop to any ratio. When publishing to WEB I like to crop to get the best composition. I have to edit in Photoshop for every picture which is time consuming when working in Lightroom.

If you want to select the next or previous picture using the arrow keys while staying in crop mode, use the shortcut keys ctrl+right or ctrl+left.

Hi Matt,

Thanks very much for the great tip. My only question is how do I change to a custom paper size on a windows machine? I have many preset paper sizes to choose from, but can not select a customer size like 5×7.

thanks again,

Hi Matt!
I have a question.
I am using Lightroom on a Mac and it seems that Lightroom has problems with spaces. I issued Lightroom space #2, but for example when I switch from Firefox (space #1) to LR (space #2) it never works.
Other apps work well with spaces.
Did you also experience the same?
Kind reagrds,
Alex
