Cropping Photos Perfectly for the Instagram Grid
After spending years trying to capture images that “will also” look good as squares, Instagram has now decided to convert to a 4:5 grid view… ahhhh 😱
Now, all our beautiful squares have been cropped to upright rectangles.
If many of your photos were captured in landscape format (horizontal), I have a quick trick to help you select the best part of the image within the 4:5 frame and the correct download settings within the Lightroom software.
I hope you found this tutorial helpful and you were able to follow the steps easily.
Instagram is still the best place to hang out as a photographer. However, in recent years, it seems like small businesses and influencers have taken over, and so for us photographers, simply posting our photos in the feed is no longer an option. If you want people who appreciate your photography to follow you, then you’ll need to take a more tactical approach. I’ve created a free guide with helpful insights for succeeding on Instagram as a photographer.
