Feature Requests

I recently converted a Nikon camera to infrared. Adobe's dng profile editor appears to be the only way to get infrared white balancing to work in the raw editor as well as light room classic . I have a lot of OCD related anxiety and after seeing how old the dng profile editor is, I have been having panic attacks about it eventually being neglected and becoming obsolete. Can you comment on Adobes future investment in the dng profile editor. Also do you know of a more up to date system for extending white balance in the raw. Thank you for your help. 11:51 AM

It would be great if one could output raw linear tiffs from a raw file. That is a file with no adjustments in exposure or curves but can utilize the lens profiles. Anyone think of a way to bypass the auto-correction to exposure in ACR?

Hi Adobe engineering team,    It would be great if you could make a Beta of the DNG Converter which adds support for the Canon EOS R3.(Like you did last year for the R5/R6)   Kind regards, Henrik Beckheim

It is rather strange to put this into this forum as a request or a subject to discuss, but it seems the ADOBE way.Until some time ago, I could change the image size in Camera Raw in the specs with a short- just below the image. You still can. What is no longer working today is a preview in Camera Raw based on this image size change. It was removed with a new version, or as I see it, somebody killed it by mistake.This little feature entirely made sense. I either preview images I would adjust for web in a small pixel size or interpolate pictures for print and adjust the noise level in Camera Raw. All this mainly on many images.Now we have to open each image to see how the adjustments translate to the needed size.PLEASE ADOBE....BRING IT BACK!! THX

Hi, now that 3D camera's are everywhere and JPS is the standard, is there anyway we can get Photoshop Elements Organizer to allow JPS files?A JPS file is literally a renamed JPEG file but it has 2 images side by side (so it's twice the width of a 2D version) so there's no issues with Organizer reading the file as it's basically a jpeg but I take hundreds of photos and I don't want to rename them all to jpeg because the files then don't display properly on a 3D viewing device.

Currently in ACR, there is only one set of settings that applies to all three of the adjustment tools: Brush, Radial, and Gradient.  If you adjust settings in one tool, then select a different tool, the settings will be the same as what you selected for the previous tool.   This doesn't make sense to me.  I use each of these tools for very different purposes.  Settings for one adjustment tool are completely different from settings for the other tools.  It would make much more sense to have separate settings remembered for each separate tool.  Then when I edit several similar images, the settings I used in the previous image for each of the tools will default to what I used for that specific tool on the last image.   This should be a very simple add.

I have an Apple Magic Mouse, which lets me use its upper surface as a trackpad. In older versions of ACR, scrolling with the mouse panned the open image the same way it still does in Photoshop. Starting in 2020, scrolling the mouse in ACR began changing the spot-removal brush size and adjustment brush size instead of panning the open image. I want mouse-scrolling behavior to go back to the way it was in ACR and still is in Photoshop. (Oh, sweet consistency!) Why can't Adobe give me the option in ACR to have mouse scrolling work the way it used to, which is the way I want it to? I searched and found this problem raised in forums in 2020, but as far as I can tell Adobe still hasn't provided that option.

It would be great to have a field for "personal notes" during the Lightroom Develop step. During my import workflow I walk through all of my picture the first time, delete bad ones and rate better ones with stars. Sometimes a good idea comes to my mind (how I could edit the picture), which I would like to fix to the photo. It would be perfect to have a comment field for personal usage, which gets saved in the Lightroom Catalogue, but not in the Metadata of the file. I thought of the implementation similar to the PDF comment feature in Mendeley. Each picture can get a note, at the end I can get an overview of all my notes, which are still to do. It would also be smart to implement the ability, to filter for photos with/without notes.A simple workaround, which is currently doable, to mark a picture with a certain color (which I associate with something), isn't enough. Similar to Mendeley.[Currently using Lightroom 3.6 / Win7 64bit]

Since so many people have difficulties installing, finding, deleting or simply managing their presets, lete alone moving them from one machine to another, why not add a backup/restore for presets to LR? I could fairly easily be added to the catalog backups. If a separate function, the resulting zip file could be passworded with something based on the user ID to prevent piracy.Henk

Please, PLEASE have the team add the SAME CROP OVERLAYS to the Bridge Camera RAW editor as are in both the Lightroom and the Photoshop Crop Overlays.It's very frustrating and seems to make no sense to leave this out of the camera RAW editor in Bridge.

When creating an ISO-dependent preset you have several images of different ISO values.  If you're not paying attention it's easy to NOT check the box to create the ISO-dependent preset. Perhaps when you have several images at different ISO values selected, and you HAVEN'T checked the ISO dependent box pop up a warning asking if you want an ISO-dependent preset.

The ACR 12.3 UI is a good accomplishment, but it will take some getting used to. However, I find the text size to be quite small throughout the UI (from the settings windows to the panel elements), particularly if I use a monitor resolution of 2560 x 1440 or higher. In Photoshop, the Interface Settings window provides a choice of 4 text sizes, and the biggest sizes help with this problem. Please include in ACR a settings feature that offers larger text sizes.

I would be great if the app had the option to export a raw file with the adjustments made within the app, so that you can continue editing on LR desktop. The app only allows to export the original file without any changes.

In an image with a lot of structure in it, adjustment brush pins get lost. How about a list with meaningful names? Choosing the correct mask and adjustment would be faster in complex images.

Equirectangular (EQR) images for 360 'photosphere' images need appropriate support in LR and PS. These features are pretty straight forward and should be easy to add. You can even get free open source code to do it in a variety of environments. (Hugin, panorama tools, cubic2erect, erect2cube, ...)What is needed is:1. a check box to indicate an image is an EQR and should be processed as such.2. any processing that combines data from an area of pixels into each new pixel should treat the edges of the EQR as contiguous left to right, and mapped to a point for top and bottom (zenith and nadir). This include functions such as sharpening, clarity, noise reduction, and other local area adjustments)3. provide functions to translate the image zenith and nadir (top and bottom ~20% of the EQR) to the center of a re-mapped image for patching, and then to restore the edited zenith and nadir back into the original EQR again when patching is done.4. provide a function to extract cube faces, and re-cr

The work flow of a png file is safer for image quality in the long run and is a more favorable file format then Jpeg. It would save a lot of time and issues if exporting from Lightroom was a capability.

Hi there,Maybe I am a pixel peeper, but as of 2020, my observations are that Lightroom's demosaicing is falling way behind competitors and doesn't recover as much detail as, for example, CaptureOne or RawTherapee. Together with fairly average sharpening and denoising, the final result is so mushy compared to what you can get elsewhere with just a snap of your fingers, that it's just frustrating and urges me to look for a replacement.Here is a 200% crop of a photo taken on Nikon D5100 as demosaiced by RawTherapee's AMaZE VS Lightroom (all sharpening, denoising and corrections turned off in both). See how much crisper and detailed is the AMaZE version?It's literally free resolution! Well, technically, the Lr's version is "lost resolution" - you are not getting from your gear what you paid for it.Can Adobe do something about this? I mean, adopting AMaZE demosaicing from the open-source shouldn't be too hard, right? That would be already a significant improvement. Please?Cheers!

Hello. I would like to request a feature be added to Lightroom Mobile for iOS to export RAW DNG files shot withing the iPhone Lightroom Mobile app as DNGs to the camera roll. I am trying to sync to my desktop app but apparently it's been already been synced to some other catalog I no longer have access to. I cannot proceed without deleting all the images I shot in RAW on the iPhone.

I work as a photographer, I was thinking of buying an external harddisk for storing my photo catalog, which has become big.As an alternative, however, I was considering to rely on an online storage service, like google drive or one drive, which are safer and more practical. I was wondering if it was possible to access one of these services directly from lightroom, if there is a compatibility in this sense, to be able to work the files from a catalog put online without having to have the files locally on the PC or on a connected harddisk.But why Adobe doesn't have his own storage cloud, compatible with the suite? I think this could be a great idea for the future of the adobe suite.

Adobe please combine Lightroom and Photoshop to make an all-in-one photographers' tool. It is infuriating to work on a file in Lightroom and then to edit that file in Photoshop only to lose the previous Lightroom steps / history when the file is saved back into Lightroom.

I just noticed that jpeg images do not enjoy the same benefit as raw images when wrapped in DNG. I assume this was just an "oops", since I can see no technical reason for it. The value in so doing is the same for master jpegs as master raws. Please include & check codes for jpeg image data too. Bonus idea: ========= Include and check codes for proprietary raw too (store codes in catalog at a minimum, and preferably xmp too). PS - While you're at it, how about adding jpeg wrapping option to DNG converter *and* Lr import - thanks. Rob

Could there be a possibility to uncheck the information about lack of automatic lens profile showing when merging photos to Panorama in Camera Raw? I use tilt /shift lenses and I know there is no automatic lens profiles for them - it would be much easier for me not to have to confirm it every time I merge Pano or HDR Pano.Thank you in advance!

It's 2 years since the SD1 was first shown, and 1 1/2 years since a family of Sigma bodies using the 15.4/16Mp sensor began to fill out. There are now thousands of DP and SD Merrill bodies out there, and yet Lightroom/ACR still have no support for them. Third party support does exist from one small developer, so it can't be that hard to process these files - please, support these cameras or give a definitive explanation for the lack of support so users can pursue the right angle to get support.

[Feature request: The Embedded profile is hidden in the Legacy group, which is hidden by default.  The profile, which is assigned by default when a Leica photo is imported, should be appear in Favorites and also in a profile group that isn't hidden by default.
