It would save a lot of time if you could paste copied settings and the Auto edit on lighting process at the same time instead of having to go through each photo one at a time after you've pasted your edit settings.

I have over 780 drone footage clips in Lightroom, meticulously cataloged. I wanted to export them after the photos to upload them to our new online photo library (useless for tagging but essential for sharing and access control). And surprise: not a single keyword was included. I discovered that Lightroom doesn't export them, and the plugin I found doesn't work.All we can do now is wait for a Lightroom update so we can use and share our footage, because recataloging it via the online tool would be far too time-consuming and risky to attempt.

Sehr geehrtes Adobe-Team,in der Desktopversion von Lightroom verwende ich für mein Wasserzeichen eine Schriftart, die ich nicht bei Lightroom Mobile selektieren kann. Momentan behelfe ich mir wenn es sich nicht vermeiden lässt, vom Handy zu teilen, eine eingefügte Grafik mit meinem Wasserzeichen. Da habe ich aber einen schwarzen Hintergrund, das ist also auf den meisten Fotos eine wirklich sichtbare Einschränkung. Über eine Implementierung der Funktion, alle Schriftarten auch in der mobilen Version zu verwenden, würden sich sicher neben mir noch mehr User freuen. 

Hello,   TLDR: I wish the Ai was more clever when syncing subject masks, syncing faces rather than 'Person numbers'    While editing I often create Ai subject masks for one or two people in an image. Let's say it's the bride & groom walking down the aisle for example... I've then got a big sequence of these images that I would like to sync.  But when you sync, the Ai more often than not decides to choose 2 random people sitting off to the side, instead of the first image where I've selected the bride & groom.    Looking into it deeper, it seems it always syncs the 'person number(s)' rather than the actual intended target. So after correcting the mask to the correct people - some shots of the bride & groom could be labelled differently... 'Person 2 & Person 3' while the next shot could be 'Person 3 & Person 4' or if it's getting it really wrong 'Person 5 & Person 6' ....even though the shot is only marginally different from the first

Please add a keyboard shortcut to update/refresh the masks when underlying changes are made, such as adding a Spot Removal.

It is very frustrating and even more so then when uploading to AdobeStock that my photos get denied because the keywords are sorted alphabetically. Yes I know! Your own software did that!

Lightroom needs to stop re-ordering our keywords into an alphabetical order. People who are keywording for stock agencies and other purposes need to order their keywords most important and relevant first. Lightroom ruins this for us. I can't believe it's version 5 and Lightroom hasn't figured this out. Lightroom is single-handedly ruining our sales based on keyword searches. Thanks Adobe

When syncing an AI Spot Replacement edit across multiple photos of the same scene, the tool currently applies the edit based on static pixel coordinates. Please implement a function that recognizes the actual object removed in the source photo and dynamically targets that same object in the synced photos, rather than just copying the spatial coordinates

[Update: See this reply for a list of third-party plugins providing automatic image tagging: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/automatic-image-tagging-with-google-cloud-vis... -- John Ellis]Hi all,who of you likes organising and tagging pictures in your image catalogue? I don't. I'd love to keep my focus on taking photos. When I read about the Google Cloud Vision API, I thought this cloud be the solution for my problem that I don't like organising, but love having things organised. Cloud Vision is a service that takes an image and returns a set of keywords, places, brancs, etc. it detected. Why not let Google do the work? So I started learning Lua and Lightroom development to create such a Plugin by myself (hold on, it is nothing there yet).When I started thinking about the actual plug-in, the question came up what would other Lightroom users expect it to look like? And what other features do you expect? So I forwarding these questions to you. What do you

Lightroom: I am looking for an easy and safe way to hide sensitive / private images in the collection without depending on the existing filtering capability

Customizable keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom would be great. I just find it so confusing that crop and brush tools and things like that have such odd keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom. I understand that changing that all now would be awful for many existing users, but being able to override them like I can in Photoshop would be helpful. Doesn't anyone else out there find they use to wrong keyboard shortcuts in the wrong program?

Hello, I often use masking to brighten up a place in the photo, especially for portrait pictures. I always start by selecting the outline of the place I want, except that unfortunately Lightroom Classic doesn’t offer (or maybe a secret function?) to be able to fill the inside of the selection. Because it would save valuable minutes on retouching since I’m not a fan of the automatic skin detection tool. (I often have strange effects on the contours of faces, arms, hands when the background is not the same color. Which is understandable when the colors are a bit similar). I can take about 15 minutes or more for some masks to fill the inside. And even by removing the gradual outline of the brush, to fill the inside and go faster, I often end up with small unpainted spots (setting the exposure to +2.00 to check the entire mask). This option would allow me and could allow us Lightroom users a huge saving of editing time in photography. And as a professional photographer, this time saving is

Metadata fields provide an opportunity to liberate us from the difficulties of using the file system (filenames and directories) for sorting and searching. The Lightroom sort options should take advantage of this. I would particularly like to sort on the Title and Caption fields, and to use multiple sort criteria, as in Sort by Title and then by Capture Time.

Lightroom Classic should allow a virtual copy to be assigned to a different folder from the original photo.For example, one group photograph may belong in several separate folders. It should be possible to create virtual copies and place each virtual copy into the relevant folder, while all copies continue to reference the same original file.At present, virtual copies remain tied to the original photo’s folder, which makes this kind of organisation unnecessarily difficult. Collections are not a substitute when the workflow specifically requires folder-based organisation.This would allow one photo to appear in multiple folders without duplicating the original file.

Add High level logging, with timestamps, to a text file to record key events such as -Launched LrC version xxxLog core elements from System InfoOpening Catalog X:\parh\name.lrdataDetecting GPU, Initialising GPU, GPU Driver version, GPU settingsMajor catalog activities - compressing, checking, Edit in application (log the app, the filename)Import/Sync summaryALL failures and warningsUser launching/pausing backgroud tasksUser switching between modes (Library, Develop, Map etc)If possible - Last activity before application becomes unresponsive.Memory limitationsI am sure there are many more.I appreciate it is difficult to find a balance between too much and too little.Maybe record the number of times that certain faults re-occur.If possible, use this count to increase logging levels of certain components so that future logs can concentrate on the issue.And then :Rolling logs, so keep the last N logs, or last X days of logs.Tool to view any log.Cut-n-paste to sent to AI tool to review. or

Lightroom Classic 11.2 on MacOS Catalina 10.15.7.   In the batch file renaming feature accessed through the hamburger icon to the right of the File Name field in the Library module, I often need to search and replace particular text. I don't see a way to, for example, replace "Jan1969-" with "1969-01-", which I wanted to do this week because I had improved my file naming system and wanted to update my old files' names.   Even better would be to support entering an arbitrarily long list of replacements to make in one pass, with a "+" or "Add" button to add more "From" and "To", or "Old" and "New", boxes.  For example,   Old: Jan1969 New: 1969-01 Old: Feb1969 New: 1969-02 Old: Mar1969 New: 1969-03   A further enhancement to that feature would be to give either the whole list or each entry a pulldown like in the Library module Text Filter, specifying Contains, Starts With, or Ends With.   I could actually benefit from a full-blown regular expression matcher,

It would be great if there was a way to search/filter images for those that need their AI edit status updated? I, often, use Adaptive Color, then, of selective images, decide I need AI Denoise.  Sometimes I forget to update the AI.  When dealing with a lot of images, it is difficult to go back and check that all the updates have been done.

Individual photos in develop have an indicator whether the AI needs to be updated. There is an option to batch update photos to batch AI update required. The batch does not allow to review individual results of the AI update in case unwanted changes have occurred.   I would like to suggest adding a Filter attribute for 'AI Update Required' that would allow a manual selection of those photos needing the update. This would allow makers to individually walk through the selection to apply the 'AI Update' and review the results. 

Using an R6III with en EF 11-24 F4L via an EF to RF adapter, and I am noticing significant barrel distortion at the wide end that the profile in Adobe Camera Raw isn’t taking out.The strange thing is that I used the exact same lens and adapter on my R6 mark 1, using the same lens profile in ACR and it corrects the distortion well.Anyone have any insights?I can correct manually but it gets tedious (shooting real estate)

Please update Lightroom Classic to include “Head Detection”While I appreciate the ability to select individual aspects of a person face and body to edit, it would save me a tremendous amount of time if Lightroom was able to detect just a persons head and all facial features found within.  Often I do not wish to edit a person’s entire body as their attire does not require adjustments.  It takes too much time selecting all of the facial features in the selection panel.  The other workaround is to select an entire person and then removing the mask for a person’s clothes and body skin afterward.  Which again, takes up time when doing this hundreds of times for a particular gallery or event.  It would increase my productivity tremendously by having a face and/or head option that limits the mask to a person’s head and/or face.Also appreciated if there was an option where I did not have to manually remove the background after creating a mask for a person.  If I do not remove the background fr

Folders with images are color coded for progress through my workflow. These disappear when using Import from another Catalog.

Zoom in on the actual focus point. On the Canon R5 and certainly other models, it is possible to zoom in on the magnified view at the exact point used to focus. With the large images, you don't have to first look for where the sharpness was measured and achieved. I would also like this for Lightroom Classic. When clicking on zoom, jump directly to the point where the sharpness was measured and NOT always to the same point for each image.

Currently, Assisted Culling analyzes all photos on the memory card, which can take a long time. Please add an option in the Assisted Culling window to exclude specific photos or folders from the analysis, so only the selected images are processed. This would significantly reduce analysis time and improve workflow efficiency.

I use 11 different aspect ratios for my fine art crops and would love the ability to save and organize them as presets for a quicker workflow. Right now, the crop ratio menu feels disorganized because it shows random ratios instead of the ones I actually use.Ratios I use: 4:5 - 5:7 - 3:4 - 1:2 - 2:5 - 1:3 - 1:4 - 9:16 - 3:5 - 1:1 - 2:3
