How to create a 4:5 Aspect Ratio in Lightroom (easy steps)

Easy steps to create a 4:5 aspect radio crop from Lightroom to Instagram feed.

So you start on Google to know what is the aspect ratio for Instagram right?... this is what you found.

And then using Lightroom might be confusing the aspect radios showed... not really. The thing is that those 4x5 / 8x10 versions are in landscape (horizontal).

So in Enter Custom... I tried to manually enter the oposite values 5x4 but but doesn't work.

Longue history short press "X" when you are in the Crop & Straighten tool (in So-omeone 

So, someone in Reddit wrote the answer I was looking for. 

All the information I was looking "out there" was that I just select in Lightroom 4x5 / 8x10 and that's it... and this is only true if your photo is already in portrait mode (vertical).

Hope this help.

Lightroom preset A Tale Of A Star

Well, turns out that I did a Lightroom preset. I did it because I was editing some pictures of my beautiful one and it just came like this. So I decide to call it A tale of a star.

This are the pictures side by side to we can compare what a huge difference make when using the preset.

I never though that they could look like this. To be honest, I was amazed by the results. I could even delete them because I was like oh crap, to contrast-y, but then I was playing around and boom.

Well, if you desire I provide you with my preset just write me a comment or just let me know somewhere in this electronic sea and I will make it available.
