Feature Requests

Camera Raw 18.4 should include a preference to return automatically to "Fit in View" after crop operations. Earlier workflows were faster because the image always returned to the full-screen view after validating a crop. Please add a user preference to choose between preserving zoom level and returning to Fit in View.

With the new update 18.4.1, it’s now impossible to have an image always cropped to non-transparent pixels.There used to be a checkbox ensuring your photo didn’t have any transparent pixels while making Geometry changes and now it’s replaced with a button.That checkbox was optimal for my workflow.Now the behaviour is a bit odd. If “Enable Expand” is unchecked, it will be cropped to non-transparent pixels only if you’re not doing any Geometry changes. For example the Angle setting will stay within opaque pixels, but Rotate won’t. But it should! Is it a bug or a feature?Today constraining crop is a button in the top right of Crop & Expand. The work I do needs to be fast, and this new feature isn’t. I have to click that button every… single… time because I’m doing Geometry changes all the time. It’s time consuming. The checkbox made sure I always had 100% opaque pixels. No hesitation, the real deal no matter what.While editing Geometry, I knew exactly the outcome of the crop because th

There are a lot more satellites in the night sky than there used to be and it’s a nightmare trying to remove them all manually from multiple exposures of a night scene. I love the AI-powered removal of dust and people and was thinking it would be great if Lightroom could also detect satellite streaks in night photos. The attached is an example of a single exposure with at least ten satellite streaks - just one from a series of 150 photos for a timelapse/star trails composition. 

Nikon cameras stores the focus point that was in focus and the exposure was taken. This would be extremely valuable to see for a sports/action/wildlife photographer.

The new Vector Scope is great, but it would be even better if some additional features were added directly inside the Vector Scope itself or new tool. The color points shown in the Vector Scope could be made interactive so that we can grab and tune them directly. There could be an option to pick a color point in the Vector Scope and drag it to the color we want, and the adjustment would be applied automatically.This would work similarly to the Color Warper Tool, 3D Color, and Chroma Warp Tool in DaVinci Resolve. Having this functionality directly inside the Vector Scope would make color grading and editing much easier and faster.

When the Camera RAW Radial Gradient tool was first introduced, one could hit “X” WHILE DRAGGING to flip the effect. One could ALSO HOLD THE SPACEBAR WHILE CREATING* the Radial Gradient before releasing the mouse to REPOSITION the gradient.These VERY USEFUL behaviors were lost sometime since.It would be a DELIGHT to see them return.(*Same behavior already exists in InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop.)

Can we get a square gradient tool, and not just the radial one?  Think "editing windows in a house".  Not every shape in a photo is a circle, so why don't we have a square gradient tool?  Cheers!

Lightroom is capable to convert JPGs into DNG. The DNG Converter unfortunately currently is not. Please add JPG support to the Adobe DNG Converter. Thank you very much for considering!

The Xiaomi 17 Ultra is supported by Camera Raw, but not the Leitzphone (based on th Xiaomi 17 Ultra). So I have no access to my Color-Profile created by Calibrite Profiler Software

Hola de nuevo,en Camera Raw, sería estupendo que al principio de los paneles principales (donde se encuentran los Perfil, Editar, Auto, B&W, HDR…) hubiese una casilla para marcar llamada “invertir” (o similar)… para que, una vez seleccionada, se pudiese editar una imagen de un negativo, en positivo, sin que todos los parámetros ajustables posteriores se encuentren al revés.

I would dearly like to see the Lightroom 4 Beta team implement an additional feature in the final release. That feature would be the ability to take a camera+macro lens image of a B&W negative -- essentially a camera-based scan of a negative -- and invert the negative image to a positive image at the beginning of the development process in such a way that the resulting sliders in the LR4 Develop Module would not operate in reverse. As I understand it, this capability exists in Photoshop, but I don't own Photoshop. I do own Photoshop Elements 9, but that program only supports an 8-bit workflow, not 16-bits per channel, and round-tripping between LR & PSE9 requires the reimportation of a TIFF file that is more than twice the size of my NEF RAW files. Since this programming wizardry already exists in Photoshop, I would think that it would be a relatively simple matter to transfer and adapt that code for LR4 -- but then, I'm not a programmer, so what do I know...I've been digitizin

Hola! sería muy bueno incorporar y perfeccionar unos detalles respecto al volteo de imágenes en Bridge y Camera Raw. Al igual que en su día sugerí incorporar el símbolo de recorte en las miniaturas, cuando por ejemplo un Raw está reencuadrado... sería de mucha ayuda otro símbolo que indique si la imagen está volteada. Sobretodo para los que trabajamos digitalizando película fotográfica sería de mucho agradecer. Además, en Camera Raw, cuando intentamos sincronizar una imagen volteada con otras imágenes… no sucede. Y en las instantáneas guardadas (snapshots) el volteo queda establecido sin lógica.

I am currently revisiting and reprocessing my photo archive, and I have noticed that Camera Raw is often unable to automatically identify the correct lens profile for older images.In many cases, Camera Raw can determine the lens type and focal length range, but not the exact lens model. I therefore have to manually select the correct profile. While the software often presents a very similar lens, it may choose a newer version instead of the exact model that was used.A feature that could greatly improve this workflow would be a user-defined lens list or "My Lenses" library. Users could specify the lenses they own or have owned, and when lens metadata is incomplete, Camera Raw could prioritize matching against that list before searching the entire lens profile database.For example, if Camera Raw knows that I only owned one particular 70-300mm lens, it could select that profile automatically rather than presenting multiple possible matches. This would be especially helpful when working wi

currently when you use the amazing camera raw on a layer, it opens a separate interface which is great, but... alas, if you are in need of color matching you are facing a problem because you can't see the color correction in the composite psd document until you close camera raw.if camera raw could be applied in both windows or have a view of the composite in camera raw as one of the views at the bottom this would be amazing. (btw, spliting the views with a way to actually move the split vertically or horizontally and not the layer would be nice)if you want an example this is same as a color correction is applied to layers as an effect in after effects.

I'm preparing a bunch of files for the web and would like to use Google's WebP format. How can I export photos in Lightroom to WebP?

When I want to soften a bokeh, I can create mask by clicking the "Select Subject" button, invert it and decrease Sharpeness.   But the problem occurs at the edges of subject, the edges of subject are blurred too. The only way is to create another brush mask, paint around the subject and subtract it from original mask.   1. It would be nice if there was a feather control in "Select Subject" that would extend the mask.   2. It would be great if there were an option to automatically recalculate AI mask after synchronization or if mask was copied to a new photo or when applying preset with AI mask.   With this features softening the bokeh could be saved as a preset and it would be very easy to apply it.

Color temperature below 2000K. It would be extremely useful for infrared photography. By the way, Capture One already allows it.

I have been playing with the new mask feature in Lightroom 2021. However, if you utilize the Color Grading feature for editing purposes, it seems to affect the whole image not just the masked area. Is it possible in a future update to make this feature available for use with the mask feature?

Add and subtracting masks is very useful in refining your mask. Being able to add or subtract and existing mask would be (IMO) a great improvement in this feature.Many times I will labour over tweaking the mask for my subject, then I want to subtract that mast from my background so background adjustments don’t affect my subject. The background/landscape/sky masks will often include areas of the subject which interfere with processing. Here’s an example.Selecting “Subject” results in tree branches being included and misses many detailed tail feathers.Selecting (in this case) “Vegetation” includes those same tail features as part of the selection. I can spend a great deal of time painstakingly finessing my subject selection and would like to subtract that from the background.I did find this as a feature request in the Lightroom area so I hope this is not out of bounds to add to the ACR area. ACR seems to have new features tested out before being added elsewhere (and ACR is my tool of cho

Please add A.I. based sharpening. And I don´t mean Topaz, but an algorithm, which is developed by Adobe and thus .…- doesn´t have a file size limitation- runs locally on GPU- doesn´t create a DNG- you can still continue raw editing- just works like Adobe´s ACR denoisingACR´s current - and decades old - sharpening just isn´t even close to A.I. based sharpening and doesn´t do anything against motion blur.ACR´s denoising works extremely well and I´m sure, Adobe can achieve the same level of quality with an A.I. based sharpening.

I wold like an ML/ AI based automatic 'defringe' tool in Camera Raw / Lightroom to remove corner chromatic aberration reliably and easily. Please consider developing an ML tool that preserves local color while identifying and removing fringing that occurs on high-contrast edges and especially in image corners. The existing tools and procedures for this in Camera Raw and Photoshop require a lot of manual work and even then do not produce good results.

I shoot video using the Red Epic camera, which shoots super high resolution video. I often pull high-res photos from the camera and use them in Lightroom. However, I'm hoping to add a feature that supports anamorphic lenses. These lenses shoot natively-stretched pixels. Meaning, the images are stretched vertically 2:1. It's a classic way to shoot movies, and I wish Lightroom supported a way to select the pixel aspect ratio so the images can be viewed undistorted. Currently, I have to stretch them in Photoshop and export. Which is a bummer because the Red Camera's raw files are supported in LR, and I would love to use those files straight from the camera rather than make new ones. Anyone else agree?

Currently CameraRaw DNG support is limited to images that are <65000 pixels on either side or <512 Mpix total. This is very restrictive - as for example gigapixel panoramas and super high resolution images exist. The request is to extend the support to the limits of BigTIFF format with regards to resolution. Extra bonus is to support this in DNG SDK as well.
