SUMMARY
In the "Aspect Ratio Crop" tool of the editor, there are several "compositional guides" (golden mean, thirds, etc.)
However, there is no compositional guide with  "center lines". These are lines which divide the picture in 4 equal rectangles. It is very useful for cropping symmetrical pictures (to check if the symmetry line is really in the middle of the picture or not).
You can see them in Gimp or Darktable.

It would be nice to add "Center lines" in Digikam (or whatever other compositional guides which include center lines : Darktable have "Grid", "Metering" and "Perspective" which include center lines).

Thanks you
