Feature Requests

Dark mode in Windows would be very useful, I use it on my system and everything is very eye pleasing, but the LRC toolbar is still white which ends up being distracting when working on dark photos since the rest of the UI is dark. It makes no sense that the toolbar does not follow the OS system theme, or at least have a proper dark mode option in LRC settings somewhere?   Pic related,t hanks!  

Description: I am requesting a UI update for Lightroom to ensure all pop-up menus, specifically the "Copy Settings"dialog, respect the selected Dark Theme.The Problem: Currently, when working in the dark interface, copying settings triggers a bright white pop-up. This creates extreme visual contrast ("light flashes") that causes eye strain and breaks the editing flow, especially in low-light environments or during long professional sessions.Proposed Solution: Update the "Copy Settings" and "Paste Settings" dialog boxes to have a dark background and light text, matching the rest of the Lightroom Pro/Classic interface.Why it matters: Consistency in UI is crucial for professional photo editing. A unified dark mode will improve accessibility and reduce eye fatigue for millions of users who prefer working in a dark environment. 

Very small feature request; when exporting large batch of photos, and Lightroom Classic in minimized, hovering my cursor over its icon in the taskbar (Windows 11) shows the percentage completed, but upon maximizing the application, that percentage is nowhere to be seen, even when hovering the cursor above LR icon in the task bar. I’m requesting the percentage completed is shown adjacent to the export progress bar. 

As a long term user of Lightroom Classic, it is great to see AI enabled object selections. Makes the workflow of a property photographer much easier, so THANK YOU for that.One object we often need selected is WINDOWS (excluding the window frame) to enable us to match the indoor exposure with the brighter outdoors. At the moment, this is achieved by selecting a window pane using the object selection tool, the adding every other window pane to the selection before reducing the exposure. It would be GREAT if a feature could be implemented where there is an AI text prompt for object selection where we could type “select window panes” or “select ceilings”, both tasks done repeatedly everyday. A text box under the object selection pane in which one can prompt what to SELECT. This would be FANTASTIC, please please please implement team!Thank youJosh

if we can upload in our cloud space multiple diffrent catalogs and have them organized as folder in our cloud would be very nice

Hi,A tool frequently used by photojournalists is to use the lock to flag pictures for import and filing. This allows you to review and flag on the camera as you are shooting a lot of frames, rather than taking the time to import and review hundreds of pictures while you're on a tight deadline.PhotoMechanic allows the photographer to only import the locked images. Would it be possible for Lightroom to have this feature?From what I understand, all that happens is that the file system flag for "read-only" is set and that is how PM recognizes it. Why can't Lightroom?

Is it possible that you can place 2 watermarks/logos in the watermark edit. So place a watermark at the top right and bottom right at the same time. Thanks, Roy Froma

Feature: allow users to provide criteria for name-space search (face-name matches) that exclude (prefer) according to user-specified criteria. Most important criteria for matching is capture time, but other criteria (keyword / keyword groups, for example) could be used. Fuzzy logic implementation would also be possible (e.g. heavily weight likely results by year of capture, presence in collections/collection sets, etc)This will GREATLY reduce the number of false-positive matches.Example using capture time:-User has large catalog containing many photographs, including images going many years.-Selects a group of photos (by collection set, folder years, search criteria, etc) that all have capture times of 2025.-In suggested matches, Lightroom currently displays potential matches for names that are only in images prior to 2005 (real world example). -Provide an option for user to specify capture-time periods (eg 2020-present), and the number of false matches drops dramatically. -All of this

I have a main catalog to which I occasionally add photos using the Import from another catalog option. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes those photos are already in the main catalog with edits and other metadata. When faced with duplicates, Lightroom offers the option to Keep old settings as virtual copies, but it seems more logical to me that when faced with duplicates, the opposite option should be available, i.e., to add the photos from the imported secondary catalog as virtual copies while keeping the existing ones as Masters. This would allow users to compare both versions side-by-side and delete the unnecessary one without risking the integrity of their primary edits.In my case, there are usually no edits in the imported catalog, but to be on the safe side, I would like to import it (as a virtual copy) so that I can compare, check, and delete them if necessary.

Lightroom Classic, like Lightroom CC (what a confusion this naming causes!) should be able to upload full raw files to the cloud and not just smart previews. This is clearly a missing feature. This is especially handy if you mainly use Lightroom Classic because of its much more powerful editing and ability to actually print but would love to edit the full image from other machines.

Es wäre super, wenn man ein Bild aus LR in FireFly sendet und man anschliessend wieder mit dem korrigierten Bild in den LR Katalog zurück gehen kann. So wie das auch ist, wenn ich von LR in Photoshop bearbeite und das Bild dann automatisch in den LR Katalog übernommen wird

The AI for masking is brilliant. What would be nicer is if when I send an image to edit in Photoshop, it sends the mask too. After all, it's already created.   Alternatley, If I open an image in Photoshop's ACR, and I create a mask, why can't it open with the mask as a layer. It seems, again, since the mask is already created, it should be no problem, barely an inconvience.   Thank you for your consideration, Vito S.

I'd like to view the import thumbnails larger, by reducing the number across the screen from the current least(6) down to even 2. This would allow easy viewing without having to open the image. I scan a lot of wildlife images and sometimes the animal is very small in the image, making the thumbnails bigger would make it considerably easier to see if I captured the decisive moment.

this would be a huge help. The auto mask feature is sometimes very useful, but other times, I felt myself weighing the pro's and cons of bringing the image into photoshop simply to be able to use the pen tool. I really wish Adobe would consider bringing the pen tool to the LR adjustment brush menu's Thanks

As an architectural photographer, I am constantly reaching for the fantastic guided transform tool to straighten things out. The one thing I can think of that would make the tool better would be if the lines automatically snapped to edges it sees in the photo. It would make setting the lines much easier using a laptop trackpad in particular, but even a mouse can be jumpy when you’re looking at the loupe view to snap your lines. Of course, I would want a modifier key to temporarily disable the snap feature if for any reason it wasn’t doing what I wanted.

I frequently find the loupe info overlay view options frustratingly limited. It’s a great tool to have, but to me it would be more useful if I could set a few more lines of info and toggle it on & off with the keyboard shortcut as opposed to cycling through two more limited sets of info. It would also be nice to be able to set the font color, opacity, and size. I made a mockup to show what could be:Loupe info 1Loupe info 2Loupe info concept 

Dear Adobe, I shoot headshots for business people who use their photos on Linkedin and social media which employs a round image window. Having a simple circular view within a 1 x 1 crop would be most ideal, rather than having to create a Radial Mask just to see it. Thanks,John

Hello,Can the AI "Remove Distracting Elements" be supplemented with the "Construction Cranes" function?It takes a lot of effort to remove all the annoying construction cranes individually.Thanks 

I have photos organized in Windows under the Picture directory. When I add new photos, I manually copy them into an appropriate folder and then use Import in Add mode to add them to the catalog. I really want Lightroom Classic to only show in the Navigator files from the Pictures directory, and in fact only files from selected folders within it, the ones I have explicitly imported.What I see is that Lightroom is somehow importing files from directories that are in the same Drive, but under Documents or another same-level folder in the drive, not Pictures. I never manually imported any of these files. Most are icons that are associated with an installed program and are not photos I took. These completely pollute the Navigator window, as shown below:I don’t know whether this is a bug or whether it is functioning as designed. But in any case, I would like LIghtroom Classic to allow me to have my preferred workflow in which only photos and folders I have added via the Import dialog are eve

Color labels are not being synced from LrC to Lr cloud.

AI search inside Lightroom. I would like to search for images inside a catalog using a line of text. For example, I write : "Man with eyeglasess holding a class of wine" or "Armchairs near ocean" and Lr find the image in the catalog. I believe that is possible to do this. Thanks. 

In the Lens Blur Panel, add an eye dropper for the refine brush so a user can sample a part of the image that has already been blurred and match the amount slider to that area.That way it will make it quicker to dial in areas that the ai has mis-identified or the user wants to have slightly more blur to without a lot of fussing with the amount and the flow.

Lightroom Classic seems like a name that was given to an app that is meant to be phased out over time and I think many of us can agree that the 'Classic' version of Lightroom is a much needed application in studio and professional environments. Putting in a request to change the name from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom Studio. Also thought about including 'Lighty-Mc Lightface' as an option 😉.If you're a Lightroom Classic user and don't like the 'Classic' in the name please share your thoughts here and perhaps Adobe marketing will agree and change it to something better.

Scrolling through the library in grid mode can be tedious when you have to reach the next batch of pictures. But some people still prefer to scroll through than to reach the folder tree to narrow down the set of pictures.So please, for these people, could you provide a way to skip series of pictures based on :import batches OR day of capture OR hand inserted “chapter markers”.And provide a set of shortcuts for that (jump-scroll / insert chapter marker) !Thank you !

If 5 images were taken in succession, and are extremely similar - it is a pain to choose. If you could select say the eye and tell lightroom to find the image which has the sharpest eye - that would be cool. This could be paired with duplicate image functionality, or face detection somehow
