Improve Your Compositions With Crop Guide Overlays

Did you know that Adobe Lightroom has a bunch of crop overlay guides that can help you decide how to crop your images? Ideally, you would get the composition right in camera without the need to crop in post-processing, but let's be honest, we often have to crop a little. These little known guides are very helpful for figuring out where to put the crop if you want to apply different compositional techniques, such as the rule of thirds, dynamic symmetry, the golden ratio, and others.

I explain how to use these guides, how they are derived, and I point out some short-comings as well. Let me know in the comments if you have a favorite that you use. :)
