When exporting files in a sequence, the MacOS finder puts things in alphanumeric order. The current export options start the sequence with filename-1.jpg. If it allowed zeros before the first nine digits, it’d help preserve the sequence in the MacOS (and probably Windows) finder. Even better: Allow the sequence number to start the file name, e.g.: 001-filename.jpg 

I am continually annoyed that Adobe products,  including Lightroom,  are popping up modal dialogs telling me about new features as soon as I start them.  This often distracts me from a task that I am doing under time pressure or other stress.I have attention issues,  and I need accomodation for this disability.  Every pop-up like this needs a checkbox that I can check on to make sure that I never get one ever again.

Hello, before this update happened, I could be in crop overlay and hit "F" for full screen to see if I liked the crop and centering then "F" again and it would stay on the crop overlay.  Now it reverts back to the Edit after I exit full screen.  How do I get this back so I'm not hitting "R" every time after?   Thank you.

I am working on scanning all our shoe boxes with photos, I am currently up to 9,184 images (still scanning more boxes). Since these are mostly family photos this seemed like a good project to try the People feature on. After spending multiple hours assigning names, I have 3,250 faces in the Confirmed collection and 10,733 remaining as Unnamed People. At this point (about 23%)  I seem to have reached the point where the face matching algorithm (Find Similar Faces) is producing mostly incorrect matches. I don't know how old the face matching algortithm is - I would hope that there is room for improvement. Thus, I would like to suggest that the algorithm for this be updated using the latest AI technology. Version of the app:13.2Platform and OS version: Windows 11 Pro - 23H2 Thanks, Adriaan Sachtler

I think this would be an enormous help for people who work with stock photo agencies. From what I read, most photographers already use this feature, but through third-party software. I should add that, unfortunately, I also use external software to caption my editorial photos. Why should I, when it would be no problem for you to integrate it?

The panel scroll bar and close panel bar arrow section are annoyingly close together. On a 4K monitor (and possibly lower resolutions) the panel scroll bar is so thin that it's easy to press the close button instead. This is frustrating when trying to select the appropriate tool and you just keep closing/unclosing the panels. Is it possible to either increase the size of the scroll bar, be able to lock the panel in place or a mix of the two. Cheers,

Lightroom for Linux - is it possible? Most my friends and I need it, because of not using Windows and current Linux tools can't get so great instruments for raw preprocessing and organizing...

We use artificial intelligence to recognize people, but what if we used it to simply rotate images to the correct orientation?  I have decades of images shot on cameras that didn't automatically orient the images and find myself manually rotating thousands of photos.  It would be very useful to have a tool that could analyze the image content and present a batch of selected images with a suggested change of orientation.  I would then be able to simply confirm the suggestions, either one at a time, or in large batches.

I created folders and albums in LR and now have started using LRC, but Lrc doesn't automatically create the same structure as Collection Sets/Collections.  It'll be very annoying if I have to do it manually as as far as I can see Collection Sets = Folders and Collections = Albums.  Shouldn't be rocket science....  At the moment, every single folder from Lightroom (cloud) is just listed in a single list under "From Lightroom"... great, thanks!   Also would be good if this was automatically maintained when I sync the two, if it doesn't already.

The problem:Lightroom Classic’s current Luminance and Color Range masks often produce harsh, unnatural transitions. Even when using the available range feathering, fine details and local contrast are still flattened or even destroyed. This happens because the existing feathering only softens the tonal selection (the range), not the spatial edges of the mask.The solution:Introduce a spatial edge feathering slider, similar to Photoshop’s mask feather control (see picture). This would soften the geometric edges of the mask independently of the luminance or color thresholds, so that local contrast and fine details are preserved.  

I’d like the option to display flags (Pick/Reject) and star ratings while using Full Screen / Lights Out mode in Lightroom Classic.   Right now, pressing F disables the "I" key info overlay, which prevents seeing critical culling information while viewing images distraction-free.   Suggested enhancement: Allow the "I" key (or a preference toggle) to show flags and star ratings in Full Screen mode, similar to how it works in Loupe view.   This would significantly improve culling and review workflows by combining a clean viewing experience with essential rating visibility.

Hello, In the current version of Lightroom Classic, the GPS track used to geolocate the photos is limited to 50.000 points. It is not enough in 21e century. The modern watches are able to take the GPS position every seconds. In that case 50.000 points correspond to 14 hours only ! For the modern outdoor endurance activities like ultra-trail running, mountaineering and even long hikes it is not sufficient. Please, extend the Lightroom Classic capacity in order to accept at least 40 hours of such a activity (UTMB like ultra-trail) = 150.000 GPS points. BR, Maciek

I think all portrait photographers would like to have any AI portrait retouch system on Lightroom classic and photoshop, like FACEAPP. We really need something like that. And I know that Adobe can do better than faceapp

Often corporate head shot sessions are done in tight spaces, with a small backdrop, so the image will show parts of the wall or other distracting things, that we need to crop out. Example belowAlso, the hight difference in i.e a corporate shoot, means you often don’t use a tripod, and all the images looks a bit different in terms of positioning and framing, focal length etc. When editing this means I’ll have to do a few tweaks to each and single image (and it might be houndres in a single shoot)Reframe and reposition Use some sort of generative fill to fill in edges or remove distractions (sometimes settings can be copied and pasted between shots, but often they are not familier enough)These features will have to be reaplied to every image.. It’s a very very time consuming task.Also - often we have a framing that’s too tight - and I want to add more head space. This would require me to go into photoshop, extend the image and do some generative fill.  Image if these changes could all be

Users (thinking of my students, who are new to photography) should be able to import files without going through 32310 steps. If, like in Adobe Premiere, they had the ability to simply drag things from the desktop into LrC, that would streamline things immensely.For exporting JPGs, there should be an option to right-click (or hit file) > export > export as JPG to [location] without having to navigate the window with all the information specifications (and really small text). Keep that option, sure, but there should be a more simplified option. 

Hi,I’d like to suggest an improvement for the Reference View feature in Lightroom Classic.Currently, when using this view, hovering over the image shows the RGB values for both the reference and active images below the histogram. However, this is only useful when the tones you want to compare happen to be in the exact same position in both images — which is rarely the case. My proposal is to allow users to place pairs of color sample points (eyedroppers) — one on the reference image and one on the active image.Ideally, we could place multiple pairs (e.g. up to 3–5), and click on the pair we want to activate. This would display the RGB values of those two specific points side by side under the histogram (e.g. R: 120 / 135 — G: 200 / 185 — B: 180 / 170).This would allow for much more accurate and targeted color comparisons between images, which is especially useful when trying to match color, light or white balance across a series or between unrelated shots. Alternatively —and

When can we expect generative expand as in ACR to be in LRC? 

The only choices today for managing previews are to set a fixed size limit (very useful if that drive doesn’t have unlimited free space) OR remove 1:1 previews after ‘n’ days. And if you set a fixed size, you get nagged constantly about increasing the cache size. First, why on earth can’t we have both choices active?Second, more options for how to manage the retention and discard of previews from the cache would not be especially complicated to implement but would speed editing. The principles of buffer management are common to many kinds of IT systems so there are many approaches - including algorithmic guesses at what might be viewed next - that would improve the chances that a suitably sized preview is found in the cache when needed.

When dropping multiple collections to collection set, If already same name collection existing in target collection set.Now: Deny all of collections to move.It’s unable to know which one is the cause of being rejected until open target collection set.Want to request: Skip to drop collection only source collections has same name in target collection set, stay on current place. And move rest of all collections.

I'm a relatively newbie to Lightroom and I think it is fantastic. It does occur to me that pros who have been using Lightroom for a while understand all the issues about selections, settings, copying, pasting, synchronising etc etc. Like many things in life the people who do things almost as second nature forget what it was like to be a beginner. The one thing that has surprised me about lightroom is that I cannot find a way of indicating "I am happy with this - I just want to lock it to ensure I don't damage, amend or delete it" through my own incompetence.

When searching for a keyword in the keyword list (using the keyword filter) only matches with keywords but not those matching with synonyms are displayed. In Lr 2 also matches of those keywords were displayed which had a synonym match. I would like this to be an option in Lr 3, too, maybe user-definable. Usecases: I've got a large list of keywords with most of them having at least one synonym (my keywords are in German and I use synonyms for english translations and other synonyms). (1) When I look for the existence of a keyword I would like to make sure that I've not included it as a synonym already. (2) While searching for a specific topic sometimes I can only remember the synonym (yes, growing older...). In Lr2 I could find it easily by keyword filter.
