How to post bigger pictures on Instagram? That’s coming up! Hey guys, I’m Criss from Eye Stocker, the
place where you’ll find Adobe tutorials and tech videos. Did you ever heared about Peter McKinnon? Well you should know about him. He’s my favorite youtuber at the moment. He’s a vlogger, he takes amazing photos
and videos and he also creates some very useful Photoshop and and Lightroom tutorials. You should check
him out. His latest video is called “Why EVERY photographer
should be using LIGHTROOM”. He is explaining how you can adjust all kinds
of sliders regarding exposure, brushes, saturation and so on. And that’s a very useful tutorial. And at some point in the video he talks about
the big fat vertical pictures from Instagram”. And he is showing how to crop your image in
Lightroom using a custom ratio of 5 by 4. And this blows my mind because I always wondered
what’s the perfect ratio to do this. I am following some landscape instagram accounts
and they always post like this. So instead of posting square photos at 1 by
1 ratio, they try to use the maximum vertical space on the phone. And I tried doing exactly like Peter but it
didn’t worked out for me, until I finnaly found what was missing from his explanation. He just missed a tiny detail but I’m gonna
show it to you in this video, cause it can happen that you’ll have the same problem like
me. Peter is editing a photo shot in vertical
mode and he is entering a custom ratio of 5 by 4 while he is in crop mode. But let me show you what happens when you
have a photo in landscape mode. I go to the crop tool, and here is the command
which was missing from Peter’s video, I press on X to switch between the portrait
and landscape aspect ratio. Then I go to this drop down, press custom,
I can enter 5 x 4 and It works now. If you don’t press the X to switch between
the aspect ratios this will not work properly. Then I can easily make the crop bigger by
dragging one of these points, reposition the crop, hit enter, and there you go. You export the file, transfer it to your phone
and this is how it looks like on instagram. So Peter, thanks for the Instagram aspect
ratio tip, if you’ll ever watch this video I’m from Europe, Romania and maybe we can
meet up to drink some good coffee sometime, I know you are a big fan of it! Ok guys, drop a like on this video if you
enjoyed it and subscribe by pressing the circle icon on the screen. I’m Criss, catch you in the next one!

Are there any apps that can do this crop?
love your Instagram hacks playlist!! great job
very helpful
thanks so much – was looking for this!
This is exactly i was looking for! Thank you!
Or you can just click and drag the corner of the crop field, and it will automatically resize your crop ratio from 4×5 to 5×4, as needed…
Tnx! This helped a lot!
thanks so much for doing this tutorial!! so helpful
U can click to the crop drop down, and juck click the 4×5 / 8×10 option which is already there, and its the SAME thing. no need to type it yourself.
You sir are a lifesaver! Thanks a million!
Thanks bro!!!!!
Thanks for the video, help me a lot. Subscribed.
Thanks!
I NEEDED this!! Thank you
Thank you!
thanks for this very helpfull. did you had that coffee with peter yet?
i tried this on lightroom 4 and it didn't work??? u have any suggestions!!!!??? pleasse
or you could just crop 4×5 instead 5×4…
Super, merci 🙂
So… its 4 by 5 then? Not 5 by 4?
Thanks for this. Great tip. About to post my photo using this tip. Instagram @david_p_halliday https://www.instagram.com/david_p_halliday/
Which program is this?
Can this be done for a Landscape photo? I use a computer to post to IG (there's a way to fool IG to use a computer) but recently, once I try and resize from square to landscape, Instagram greys out the "NEXT" button, so I can no longer post unless I stay with the square format. I am a photographer and a computer is much better for posting then a phone……Thanks
Dude, long time that i saw a video with so good light quality.
What's the aspect ratio for Horizontal pics? I guess the samething
You Sir have the best tutorial outhere. Thank You so much! 🙂
But how do u do this on Lightroom app on the phone?
Thanx, I am from India, love your work bruh
I liked your video and had to subscribe cause of the ending… so nice of you inviting him for a coffee. I really like it – not slow introduction, but you straight to the point! Great!
You could simply just drag the crop marquee around to change orientation.
hey i mail to pete about this video and your coffee time. i think it works buddy..
YES YES YES !!! Finally, ive been having the same problem. Thanks so much for explaining this.WHoooo.
Oh my goddddd this is exactly the issue I was having!!! Thank you for this video! Both you and Peter are great! 🙂
You save my whole life putting this work on youtube. Keep up the goodwork! Cheers!
Thanks- that's exactly what I needed to know. Was driving me crazy trying to input custom numbers and nothing happens. And dragging corners was moving the whole photo (not what needed to happen). So simple now that you showed me the trick.
Thank you for this!
I do it differently and it works. Just go to Aspect ratio 4×5 and then press X. It automatically brings you in the 5X4 ratio. This saves you even more steps. In your tutorial you actually have the same result as mine only difference is that you have to drag it to the borders while my technique already maximize it. i hope you know what i mean or did i miss something here?
THANKS MAN 🙂 !!
Thanks Cris from Romania
Thank you, wiill guvectgat a try!✌✌
Good video! Thanks
cheers mate!
Awesome! Love the video and yes! This is that bit of a little trick I was missing out on as well…. was already a bit bummed of from not having the exact same cool crop for Instagram as Peter did. But, not to worry anymore! Keep on making these vids! Rock on!

Respect man ! …Wondering how to do that u just fixed my problem.❤👍
Perfect thanks man!
loool,chiar nu ma asteptam sa ma uit la un roman, ce super
So do you realize when you resize your crop your changing the aspect ratio? kinda defeats the purpose but almost helpful!
And later on if your photo gets compressed (pixelated) when uploading on instagram you should export at: 1080px in width by 1350px in height and resolution 76px per inch.
What about for landscape photos
Hey man! You are a lifesaver! Thanks for this video 🙂
Hey! This tutorial was very helpful for me. Do you know how to do the same thing in Lightroom CC mobile? I usually edit on my phone when I'm at work 😀
Legend! Thank you that was driving me insane! haha 😀

Hi! How can I do this in the app Lightroom on my phone? I just don’t have mi laptop at the moment and I need to do it in the app. Any tip for this?
Thanks a lot helped me
Thank you!!! Great tip!
Whenever i upload some pictures to instagram,the photo always become very pixelated and blurry.Can someone please tell me how i can fix this issue?
Awesome tip….. thank you 😊
thankXXXXXX. pressing the X button made the difference in my life
the video is scripted. Look at his eyes
so this only works with a vertical picture correct? When I try to do a landscape horizontal photo parts of my photo are cropped out
