Now that glow, diffusion are available in the effects drop-down, it would be great to have a plus icon to add multiple iterations or variations of effects just like competing products do, non destructively.Why having to choose between diffusion or glow, etc?Same with masking effects. Not everything can be applied to mask selections.  There is a limitation on what can be applied to a mask what to the whole image.Additionally One could create a stack and save as favorite and apply to other images too. 

Stop pulling filled from cloud on LRC and only push files option.For example, upload my files from camera to Lightroom classic edit and push my files to the cloud so I can see my edits on all my devices and be able to pause only downloading full resolution files form the cloud those can stay there from my phone/ipad along with any edited ones from my LRC app. I don’t need the full resolution files on my laptop and the cloud. Just allows me to pause pulling files and only allow pushing files or atleast to only select specific folders or collections to download.

Title: Lightroom Classic 16 – More Flexible Vectorscope Layout and Resizing OptionsThe introduction of the Vectorscope in Lightroom Classic 16 is an excellent addition, especially for professional photographers working with precise color adjustments.However, its current placement directly below the Histogram takes up a considerable amount of vertical space in the right-hand panel, making it less convenient to work with the Develop and Masking controls.I would like to suggest several layout improvements: Resizable Vectorscope: Allow users to reduce or increase its size according to their workspace needs. Side-by-side layout: Provide an option to display the Histogram and Vectorscope next to each other, rather than stacked vertically, within the same right-hand panel. Floating window: Allow the Vectorscope to be detached from the panel and positioned freely, including on a secondary monitor. Independent visibility: Allow users to show or hide the Histogram and Vectorscope independe

I frequently create colections that I sync publicly and I enjoy that feature much.  However, if I need to watermark images in a collection before I sync them publicly, that capability is not offered in Adobe Lightroom Classic.  I must first watermark and export the entire collection to a folder on my desktop.  Then I have to re-import that watermarked collection back into Lightroom and from that batch, I can create a publicly synced, watermarked collection.  Adobe, if you're listening, PLEASE GIVE US THE ABILITY TO WATERMARK PUBLICLY SYNCED COLLECTIONS DIRECTLY OUT OF LIGHTROOM CLASSIC.

I would like to request that we add to the export options. Currently I have been using "Export to: Same folder as original photo" and then moving the sub-folder it creates in Library View, but it would be great to just have the following option:   "Export to: Parent folder of original photo"   Here's my use-case... My photography drive structure looks like this:   Working Drive Pictures Clients YYYY-MM-DD-ShootName RAW Edited-JPEGs High-Resolution Low-Resolution Rejects   When I am editing a shoot, I begin with the RAW files. After culling, I move over all 0-star images to Rejects folder. Next, I perform all basic edits in Lightroom and I then export full-resolution full-quality JPEGs to a folder named Edited-JPEGs which currently goes under the RAW folder, then I manually move it to the parent folder in Library view. Then I do any retouching to the Edited-JPEGs in Photoshop. Once I've completed any retouching I then go back into Lightroom and export H

Brian Matiash confirmed the behavior had been reproduced, over a year ago.  Still waiting for a fix!

In Reference View, I would like the option to Zoom in on the Reference Photo in the same way I Zoom in on the Active photo.  Ideally this would work like Sync in Compare View.   My use case: I want to evaluate two different approaches to enhancing color in two versions of the same window.  I would like to be able to edit the photo in the Active window as I make the comparison.  The 100% Zoom option for the Refernce window is shows too small an area.  I need the flexibility to use the normal Develop Zoom tools, ideally synchronized across both photos for efficient working.

Ich vermisse in Lightroom für die Vorher-Nachher-Ansicht wirklich sehr die Möglichkeit, das Bild mit einem Slider (wie bei Capture One oder Luminar) ansehen zu können.

Can you please provide camera matching color profiles for the Sony A7R VI as you did before with many other Sony cameras? I bought the camera expecting that Adobe will provide the profiles on short notice, but nothing happened so far.Thanks in advance.Peter

Just make Lightroom mobile and Lightroom the same with the same features, IPads, mobile phones and Samsung tablets are able to handle the loads or at least process them.  Why do I have to be on desktop when I want to increase resolution. Why are some features there for IOS but not Android, just make them all the same to make it easier for all users. 

The new facial recognition in Lightroom 6/CC is well done (if sometimes amusingly quirky). One change I'd like to suggest is allowing the Named People thumbnail photo to be chosen from the list of confirmed thumbnails. Lr sometimes picks an unflattering image or one of very low quality. When I see a list of faces in the Named People list I want to see nice looking mugshots. We don't all shoot fashion models!

Currently it is possible to toggle on/off the mask overlay with the shortcut O.Unfortunately it is not possible to toggle on/off the adjustments for a mask with a simple shortcut.Therefore I propose to add a shortcut to toggle on/off adjustments on current mask.

I’m waiting for a Lightroom lens profile for the new Viltrox 35/1,8 EVO (Nikon Z). Have anyone in here heard something about it.  /Regards

I currently shoot a lot of Bracketed shots for exposure blending, and with each shot having a different shutter speed the auto-stacking can fail to accurately stack the grouped shots - especially when the shutter speed gets up into 10+ seconds!I would love an option for Auto Stacking to work on the time delay between the shutter closing and the shutter opening again, so it is a true measure of the gap between shots. In this way I can auto-stack on all bracketed shots even when the shutter speed is seconds long. Calculate the time between shots by adding the shutter speed to the capture time of the first shot, and then compare this to the capture time of the next shot, and if I am using Continuous shooting, this gap will be only a fraction of a second, regardless of the shutter speed.Gary

Il est intéressant d’avoir des masques IA qui distinguent Peau du visage et Peau du corps.Le problème est que bien souvent les traitements (clarté, lumière, etc.) du cou ont tout à voir avec le visage et pas du tout avec les bras ou les mains…Il serait donc bien, au moins en option,  de pouvoir associer visage et cou et laisser le reste du corps sur une autre sélection. 

Simple feature suggestion. Add a swap X/Y (or perhaps R/A or A/R) button in the grey bar at the bottom that allow me to swap the Active and Reference photo when in Reference view. Sometimes I select my reference photo and then open an image in Reference view and I think "hmm, I actually prefer the active one over the reference one", and at that point I want to swap them and alter the reference photo instead. Currently, I have to come out of develop view, re-set the reference photo and then click on the other image again. It would be so much easier if there was a swap button at the bottom like the Library side by side view has. Another use case is that I have my reference photo on the left and make tweaks to the active photo on the right, but then I take things a bit further and think, "hmm, now I want to add that change to the reference photo". I know some people may dismiss this and say "reference means that it's the one you're trying to match to, so you shouldn't be able to change it

Masking is a large part of my LRC workflow, and allowing users to rearrange the masking menu tools would make working with them more fluid and less clunky. Solo mode helps but doesn’t quite fit the bill.

Two simple improvements would make Lightroom Classic much more useful in professional production workflows:1. Make the Import Results dialog interactive.When Lightroom rejects files, users should be able to double-click to open them, reveal them in Finder/Explorer, fix the problem, and retry importing directly from the dialog. It should also explain the actual reason for rejection instead of displaying the generic "unsupported or damaged" message.Manually locating rejected files in large, deeply nested production directories is an unnecessary waste of time.2. Support 1-bit TIFF images in the Library module.I regularly work with 1-bit black-and-white TIFFs (line art and bitmap graphics) in editorial and prepress production.Lightroom isn't just a photo editor; it's also a digital asset manager. Even if 1-bit TIFFs cannot be edited in Develop, they should at least be importable, previewable, searchable, and cataloged.Neither improvement should require a fundamental redesign, yet both woul

How to turn off display of milliseconds (capture time). Milliseconds are useless to me, but they clutter the grid view and make it impossible to quickly review capture time for long burst of bird photos when trying to determine when a burst ends and a new beginning. Just want to turn off the milliseconds and keep the seconds (as in the previous version)  

Simple thing:   When Cropping the dimensions of the image/photo (in pixels) should be displayed in the UI. This would allow us to crop precisely.   This is a standard in the photographic  industry and LR doesn't have it. It's a must do.     P.S. (If this was alsed already I am sorry, I searched and nothing come up)    

[This version of the post from the old feedback forum was updated 11/1/21.]   Lightroom has long incorrectly copied crops and local adjustments between photos with different orientations. This post provides consistent principles of how copying should behave, test results of the current broken behavior, and a guide to implementing correct behavior.   How Copying Crops and Adjustments Should Behave   Users almost always place crops and local adjustments relative to the photo's content. A Spot Removal is placed over a blemish on a face; an Adjustment Brush lightens the shadows under eyes; a crop is placed tightly around a face; a Graduated Filter darkens the sky.   So if a user copies a crop or local adjustment from a raw to a TIFF produced from that raw by Photoshop, the user expects the adjustment to appear in the exact same visual position and have the same effect. A Graduated Filter aligned with the horizon in the raw should also be aligned with the horizon in the

Love the new feature for AI distractions of people and reflections.. Lets expand on that!!   As a wedding photographer I am constantly removing power lines, stop signs, or just signs in general, exit lights.. It would HUGE if these were added as additional AI options for distraction removal. Feels like it would be a fairly easy addition.    Posted a screenshot as an example.. AI generative fill defintely takes care of it no problem but would save time if we didn't need to manually select it. 

Wenn ich Bilder über eine Exportvorlage mit der Option "Ordner später wählen ..." exportiere, springt LRC immer das Verzeichnis, in dem ich zuletzt - auch lange zurückliegend - nach einem fehlenden Bild gesucht habe. Das ist sinnlos.Besser wäre es, in das Verzeichnis des zu exportierenden Bildes zu springen, um von dort die Navigation zu beginnen.
