HI all. In LR3 (or 4) how does one toggle the orientation of whatever overlay one uses when cropping....or can it be done. Its easy enough to cycle through the different overlays but I need to switch the orientation of the "Fibonacci spiral" sometimes....

Thanks in advance

If I understood the question right, the "X" key is what you're looking for.

I know what you mean. The "x" key changes landscape crop to portrait crop and vice versa, but need to change the orientation of the spiral overlay. For example, when you first press "r" and the overlay pops up, and it happens to be the spiral, if the center of the spiral is in the lower left corner, I want to be able to "flip" the overlay so the center of the spiral is in whatever corner I choose....hope that's clear-er..:)

Okay, for those of you following this (just 31?!:eek:) the shortcut is "SHIFT+O"

"shift" the "o"rientation. I know I'll forget it otherwise. Thanks.
