P: Display Focus Points

Where's the best place to post a features wish list? If Lightroom could support reading the focus points from the camera metadata, it seems like it would be easy to run an action to check those focus points for sharpness and automatically reject any images that aren't sharp. What about blink detection or facial recognition and auto tag for naming? If FaceBook can do that, I don't see why Lightroom can't. How about selecting a group of photos and having Lightroom check the faces and finding the best one? I work on a lot of other photographer's photos and for us that shoot events and a lot of photos... these would be huge time savers!

Hi!

Just wanted to chip in as one of the persons really missing the possibility to natively show focus points directly in Lightroom, without having to use the available plugins, which I find rather cumbersome and slow.

I recently moved from Aperture, where this has been available for ages. That said, of course I find Lightroom much more powerful.

It's a reasonable request to help in processing workflow.

This should have been added to Lightroom long long time ago.

Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Sony all of these companies store this data in the exif.

Given that LR6 can recognise faces (supposedly, haven't used it myself) the facial recognition features/points could be combined with the focus points to become a very useful tool/filter that could indicate if the face was in focus. Of course there are always times when you *don't* want a face to be in focus but most of the time this *is* what you want...

Poor old Aperture had a feature whereby the points that achieved focus could be overlain on the photo. I found this a really worthwhile feature as a means of quickly assessing whether focus had been achieved where it was intended, e.g. on the eyes or the bridge of the nose in portraits, or to give an idea of depth of field across the subject. Has anybody heard any rumours/rumblings about the possibility of this being added to Lightroom?

To the software creators of PS CC2015: Nikon and Canon software makes it possible to view the point where we focused in a RAW photo; would be very useful to add that feature to CC2015.
Some photographs come out out of focus (like when we focus in the eyes of a person but that was not the focus point chosen by the camera). That problem can be avoided if PS CC shows us where the focus point was selected.

thank you very much.
