Canon R6 iii does not have tether support. Can we please have it added?https://helpx.adobe.com/au/lightroom-classic/desktop/kb/tethered-camera-support.html

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.  

While I am drawn to many aspects of LrCC on my laptop and iPad, including the the UI design aspects of font and spacing (and Generative Upscale), LrC is more powerful and feature-rich, so I use it when I need things like plugins, virtual copies, the Export module, and Print module. While I can access cloud files through the Collections panel, it is a bit of a headache with its long list of small, difficult-to-read album names. At least they are alpha-numeric, but without the folder names, it becomes a nightmare.Lr Mobile for iPad has a great feature to allow the user to switch between “Cloud” and “Device”. Recommendation: Design the left panel of Lr Classic to allow users to easily switch between Local files (as we currently have in LrC) and Cloud files as they are structured in LrCC.Even Import can be designed with a simple question: Do you want to import files Locally or to the Cloud? The first option is business as usual with LrC; the second opens a LrCC style folder/album structure

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

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...

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.

Let be able to use all masking tools including combination (intersect, invert, add, substract) to define areas to be remove by AI in the remove panel

Modern mobile devices run on ARM processors, and that is the future. Look at Apple. Please develop native ARM versions of Lightroom Classic and all other Adobe products. Even with the current version of LrC, it is impossible to take advantage of ARM-based AI for noise reduction! Noise reduction takes hours, despite using a fast Snapdragon processor. That is simply unacceptable.After all, you rewrote the software for Apple in record time—why not for Windows? Otherwise, I will be forced to switch to Luminar Neo, and I could replace Photoshop with Affinity; both run natively on ARM. Adobe is still relying on the outdated x86 architecture. I urge you to change this. ARM is many times faster than x86.Many thanks in advance!

When using the Lightroom Classic SDK it would be great to be able to move photos in the catalog between folders programmatically.   A simple example would be for writing a plugin that moves selected photos between parent catalog folders, while maintainig folder structure (to move files between disks).   While it is possible to create folders and move disk files using `LrFileUtils`, any catalog photo moved that way ends up as 'missing' in the catalog because their disk location is changed by `LrFileUtils` but the photo `path` in the catalog is not updated.   It is possible to read a photo's path using `photo:getRawMetadata("path")`, provided by `LrPhoto`, but it is not possible to change a photo's path using `photo:setRawMetadata("path")` because `path` is not a valid key for writing back to the catalog photo.   So in summary, it is currently not possible to move a photo between catalog folders in a Lightroom Classic catalog using the SDK.  `LrFil

The slideshow with HDR would be really great

Lightroom Classic is software that I love using every day, and historically I feel it has been positioned as being on it’s way out, which is very scary. Even though cool features do get added, the ‘Classic’ framing make it feel like I’m invested in a dead end.

Woudl love to be able to select a previous mask when adding/removing. For example, I shoot a lot of lifestyle/product images on a Fjord in Alaska like the ones attached. I mask the beach, water, mountains and sky separately.   When masking the mountains, it would be great so select background, subtract sky, then subtract pre-existent mask "Ground" and mask "Water" that I have already created. That would ensure a perfect boundary between the two and make the flow really quick.     

La scala zonale di Ansel Adams serve principalmente a chi come me lavora in bianco e nero. E’ composta da undici zone da undici zone da zero a undici. Passando con mouse sull’immagine si visualizza in quale zona si trova quella parte di immagine. 

When you’re done editing in Lightroom mobile you have the option to Add borders and share. Please please allow the borders option in the cloud and classic version of Lightroom. It’s such an easy addition, why are you holding back on this? 

It would be great to have some non-destructive way to apply at least color correction to videos in Lightroom Classic. Perhaps using dynamic link to premiere? That way all my media could be viewed and organized in one place. Maybe it’s just a script that Lightroom Classic generates for premiere to apply over time?
