Is it possible to import crop overlays such as golden spiral?

  Not directly. The best you can do is load a png image with the golden spiral as a new Layer to use as a guide then delete the extra layer once you've got your crop.

  I use a program called PhiMatrix Pro. It has many, many customizable layouts that work as a heads up overlay when I'm working in Photo RAW. I have to switch back and forth to keep things aligned as I'm working but it works very well.

  I was searching for something like that.

  Here an actual discussion on a Pentax webpage:

  I liked it on Lightroom and it is a tiny little thing I miss at ON1. Wouldn't it be possible to implement such an overlay in the cropping tool? It would be a great help for my work!
