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.

Greetings all,

Updates for Camera Raw are available. The July release (18.4.1) has an update regarding this feature request. If you do not see the update in your Creative Cloud Application, you can refresh it by pressing [Ctrl/Cmd]+[Alt/Opt]+[R]. Note: It may take up to 24 hours for your update to be available in your Creative Cloud app.

Thank you for being so patient.

Note: Camera Raw is the Edit/Develop Engine powering the Lightroom clients. New Edit features must be built in Camera Raw before the Lightroom clients can adopt them. Unburdened by the additional cataloging, syncing, and other workflow functionalities, Camera Raw can move more quickly to get these desired new features into your editing workflow. Our goal is to eventually port these features into the Lightroom clients.

> but LR does not have an algorithm to access it
we shall assume you already wrote to Canon asking it to provide that "algorithm to access it" 🙂 ?!

Grazie GoldingD per il contributo - al momento ho montato questo plugin (http://www.lightroomfocuspointsplugin.com/) e funziona abbastanza bene con Nikon D series - non è però aggiornato con Nikon Z series - spero comunque che Adobe possa/voglia implementare una soluzione ufficiale per chi ha queste esigenze

Buongiorno - in tanti utenti desidereremmo un plugin/implementazione ufficiale Adobe che dia la possibilità di visualizzare i punti di messa a fuoco attivi così come si visualizzano sul display della camera almeno nella sessione libreria (fosse possibile anche nella sessione di lavoro/sviluppo ma non credo) - al momento ci sono soluzioni proposte in web di terze parti ma non so quanto affidabili soprattutto per i probabili problemi di compatibilità con un servizio anline/onair/oncloud - grazie mille

Lightroom Classic 12.0.1 - Windows 10 Pro_64 bit

I do remember third party plug-ins for this. But not Adobe. One huge problem is that those plug-ins do not work for all cameras. Apparently some in camera Metadata is required, and not all camera manufacturers apply that Metadata.

After years of being patient and praying for Adobe LR to come out with an update to enable visability of focal points....I'VE GIVEN UP! I shoot w/ a sony A7iii and as many are aware, the only place to truely review focus points are in camera. I mean seriously, this is shocking to me. One of the best mirorless cameras on the market and yet LR (one of the best PP platforms on the market) still won't offer it? i'm shocked. Adobe, what is going on? Tell us why?

Hi, I was wondering if I was missing a basic feature that I cannot find in Lightroom.

I'm referring to the ability to display a focus map over the photos, just like any camera with a focus assist functionality does, highlighting in red the outlines of high-contrast features while previewing or reviewing a shot.

Capture One has had this functionality for over 10 years now, which they call focus mask.

For me not having this function would be a dealbreaker; as a professional photographer I might take dozens or hundreds of shots, then I need to select the best one, and having to check the focus by hand enlarging and panning around each and every shot is a ridiculous waste of time...

I'd be really surprised if Adobe Lightroom has not yet implemented it... I mean, it's Adobe we're talking about, right?

So, where can I find this functionality?

I had a look at plugins as well, but they're either discontinued or not working with my Leica SL2.

Any other ideas are welcome.

Thank you

This would be really valuable! (I'm mostly on Canon, some iPhone.)

Hi, is it possible in Lightroom and also in Photoshop, to visualize the exact point of focus of a photo?
If so, how?
Thanks a lot!

There are two plugins for Lightroom Classic that can do this. https://lightroomfocuspointsplugin.com

Thank you very much for the information!
Are Plugins safe, do not cause LRC problems? Can I install them safely, are they free?

To whom can I plead that Lightroom please include a plug-in so can see the FOCUS POINTS of photos while editing?
