7.5x5 would be an exact 3:2 crop. 7x5 is slightly more square. >> >> A good approximation: While the cropping tool is active, press the O key. >> You'll see the crop overlay cycle through various grid and other options >> until you get to one that has format proportion lines - 4x5, 5x7, and 2x3. >> As you move the cropping around, you can see how close you are to one of >> these three standards. > > I can toggle between various grids but they dont make much sense to me yet. Cycle to the one that shows the format proportion lines. Unlock the format proportions and then watch how the lines appear and disappear as you move the crop rectangle proportions around.
