[Auto Generated] hey guys Ryan here at signature edits
00:01
and I wanted to take a second to show
00:03
you a sweet trick that you can use in
00:05
the Lightroom crop tool that you
00:07
probably had no idea existed let’s do it
00:10
[Music] 00:17
okay so why am I so excited about this
00:19
tool because I’ve been using Lightroom
00:21
for a long time probably seven or eight
00:24
years and I’ve grown pretty familiar
00:26
with everything that Lightroom has to
00:27
offer but it would appear that I still
00:30
don’t know everything and that’s one
00:31
thing I love about Lightroom you’re
00:32
always learning something new now if I
00:34
press the R key on my keyboard I’m going
00:36
to pull up the crop tool this is
00:38
something you’re probably familiar with
00:39
if you’re not you should definitely
00:41
check out the Lightroom beginners course
00:43
now if you know about this already wait
00:46
for it okay if we go to our keyboard and
00:48
while we’re using the crop to what we
00:49
press oh whoa it turns out that
00:52
Lightroom actually has several different
00:54
overlays you can use when you’re
00:56
planning the composition of your image
00:58
that are not just the plain old boring
01:00
rule of thirds now rule of thirds is
01:02
super helpful I use this tool all the
01:04
time and I was perfectly happy with it
01:05
but now that I know that I have access
01:08
to this one for diagonal lines or this
01:10
one for different symmetry or this guy
01:12
or the golden rule or this beautiful
01:15
thing that lets me preview where my
01:16
different crops are going to be for
01:18
different aspect ratios on my photos
01:19
that makes me pretty happy because now I
01:21
have access to more tools now one other
01:24
thing I should add if you press shift o
01:26
you can actually change the layout of
01:28
some of these different overlays so
01:30
moving the golden rule around our image
01:32
or moving our aspect ratio is that sort
01:35
of a thing so I am so excited about this
01:38
