You can copy and paste a crop in Lightroom by using the Copy and Paste options in the Crop Overlay panel.
Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Select the image: Open the image in Lightroom that you want to copy the crop from.
- Crop the image: Use the Crop Overlay panel to crop the image to your desired dimensions.
- Copy the crop: Click the Copy button in the Crop Overlay panel.
- Select the target image: Open the image in Lightroom that you want to apply the copied crop to.
- Paste the crop: Click the Paste button in the Crop Overlay panel.
The copied crop will now be applied to the target image.
Note: This method allows you to copy and paste the crop settings, including the aspect ratio, dimensions, and rotation.
Practical Insight:
- This method can be particularly useful when you are editing multiple images with the same composition.
- You can also copy and paste crops between different Lightroom catalogs.
Example:
- You are editing a series of landscape photos that you want to have the same composition. You can crop the first image to your desired dimensions, copy the crop, and then paste it onto the remaining images. This will ensure that all the images have the same cropping.
