I've been using Lightroom to crop pictures to be square. I'm doing this in the obvious way: in "Develop", click the Crop overlay, lock the padlock, and set the aspect ratio to "1x1".

This works, in that the resulting pictures do indeed "look square". However, when I actually checked the dimensions of one of the pictures I exported, its exact pixel dimensions were 1679x1676.

Is "looks square" the best that Lightroom can do? Or is there some way I can get the width and height to be exactly the same number of pixels?
