A feature within Lightroom is the crop tool. It gives you the ability to quickly and with great ease, make an image the perfect crop, if you didn’t get it right straight out of the camera. One ability within the crop tool that many people don’t know about is the “Crop Guide Overview” menu. This unique menu within the “View” menu on the menubar allows the user to select from multiple different looks of the lines on the crop tool. As seen in the image, it has many different and unique looks.

If you are one for shortcuts then simply hit the “O” key to cycle through the different guildlines, and if you want to go back hit “O + Shift” together.Another great little hidden gem when in the crop tool is a nifty short-cut to go into the “Straighten” tool. Simply hit the “Command” key and your cursor will change from the default crop tool to the straighten tool.Well that’s my special list for the crop tool.
