Feature Requests

[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

As a professional photographer working regularly in live music and indoor sports environments, I rely heavily on Lightroom Classic to manage and process high volumes of low-light, high-ISO images under challenging lighting conditions — often featuring strong blue or red colour casts and fast motion.  I’d like to suggest the following enhancements that would significantly improve efficiency and accuracy in my workflow   1. One-Click Colour Cast Removal Tool A dedicated “Remove Colour Cast” button (similar in spirit to “Auto Tone” or “Dehaze”) would be extremely helpful — particularly for removing dominant red or blue casts that arise from tungsten or stage lighting. While manual white balance tools are effective, a one-click starting point using AI analysis would save valuable time in batch edits   2. Denoise: Default Setting Control Currently, the Denoise feature defaults to 50%, but I consistently apply 30% to most images. It would be helpful to: Allow users to set a

When exporting an image with the option "Custom name - original file number", LrC fails to do so if the image is denoised using the new AI functionality. Instead you get the "Custom name - Sequence" instead.OS: Windows 10,LrC build no: 202304101834-a085245cSteps to reproduce: Denoise an image using the new AI-function (button above the denoise sliders), export using "Custom name - original file number".Result: The images get sequence number in the file name instead of image number. (The "Enhanced" addition to the name seems to confuse the export function. Should be fairly easy to parse or link back to the original file.)Expected result: The exported images should have the original file number.  

Hi,   every time I want to play a Slideshow, it takes several minutes to calculate this, due to the fact, I have many big panoramas, HDRs etc.. It's been like this for years, app. it's not easy for Adobe to improve performance here.  The real problem is though: the cache is deleted, as soon as it's played / you change to another program etc.; and if you wanna play it another time, it starts from scratch again - I keep wondering, why on earth has this been coded like that? Why can't it at least keep the cache of those images, instead of deleting this right away, or give an easy option to save this?I can only export this as a video (or PDF) file, which again takes ages - and for this reason, the app is completely useless for showing slideshows to colleagues / clients etc., it simply always makes a bad impression, unless you export everything in advance (for which you don't always have the time). Also when exporting, there's still no 4K option there, something like 20 years afte

When I'm in Preferences, there's a button that takes me to Catalog Settings, but there's no similar button in Catalog Settings that returns to Preferences.    I'd like to see this very much.

My workflow for Adobe Denoise. Edit RAW image in Lightroom Use Denoise AI which saves and changes my file name – adds Enhanced-NR Open the DGN in Photoshop and do more edits Close DGN and it saves my default LR file type as a layered TIF. Delete the DGN and rename the tif. Step 6 is a pain. I haven’t figured out a fast way to get rid of the extra words “Enhanced-NR” in the file name. And if I use Lightroom to export the DGN as a TIF it flattens the layers created in Photoshop - not good.

After LR upgrade to 14.4, I get a popup stating: You have enabled "Use Smart Previews instead of Originals for image editing" in the preferences.When using the latest AI features, it is highly recommended that you always work on Originals.For best results disable this preference !!!Suggestion to Adobe: Make LR smart enough to use the Originals when they are needed/beneficial (like - if I am right - when zooming in to adjust sharpening ?) but keep using Smart Previews for speedups when the Originals are not needed/beneficial.   Otherwise, we always need to toggle this under Preferences->Performance 😞

I've resorted to multiple solutions to this BUG for years, there's no excuse for this. Adobe: I'd love to hear a *good* reason why, when exporting a slideshow to 1080p video, that contains a mix of video footage (1080p or HIGHER) and photos that are cropped far larger than 1080 pixels tall that Lightroom can't figure out that it does NOT need to *reduce* the 1080p video clip(s). Been this way since the beginning, can we please get this right. Not doing any panning or zooming, just asking LR (v3 Perpetual - Classic 14.1.1) to *first* survey the size of every element in the slideshow and do the right thing (if the smallest image is ≥ the export size, only *reduce* any images larger than this, do NOT reduce the images that meet the export size). Been using "PhotoStage" because it's the smoothest option vs. LR.   [Moved from 'Bugs' to 'Ideas' by moderator. This is no so much a bug, it is poor design. So this is a request to improve this design, not a bug report]

I'm on Mac (M1 Max with 64 GB RAM) , and RAW display performance is really painfully slow, about 1.5 s for a random jump in Raw mode.   Adobe asks me for years what to improve, and I would just like to point them to (relatively cheap) competition:Meet FastRawViewer, which displays images directly from RAW within fractions of a second has useful helper functions to quickly check focus plane and sharpness and also allows to quickly inspect highlights and shadows   In combination, this speeds up image culling to less than half the time it needs in LR. I would expect these from the software company with the biggest development budget in the industry.   Lightroom was the only tool I used to use. Now I use other tools for key processes, like FastRawViewer for culling and DXO Pure Raw for developing.

LR 4.1rc2 under Windows 7 x64The reverse-geocoding function of LR4 is a great feature and a potential time-saver, yet it can lead to some minor disasters.Specifically, there is currently no way to "stabilize" the location metadata that has been automatically filled by LR (displayed in gray italics). Editing any value by hand e.g. a misspelled City name, leads to all other fields (Country, State, Sublocation) being emptied - problematic when filters are effective on these fields, as the photo suddenly disappears and end up with partly missing location info.Possible remedies: when location info has been automatically filled by LR :- provide (only in such a case) a checkbox offering to "keep these values", so they can from then on be appear as 'normal' metadata, and be edited as such without some tricky behaviouror- make these auto-filled values separate from each other, allowing to edit one without discarding all the others. That would also allow the reverse-geocoding feature to work wit

Photoshop Need to Add Some New Feature For Adjust or Fix - Over Expose, Over Sunlight Exposure, Under Expose, Oily Shine Remove, Sunglass Reflection, Foggy Mist , Enhance Quility, Restore Old Photo to Best Quility   This All Feature Need Hope Photoshop Add this All advance Feature Updates...

Please add Ascending/ Descending Toggle to Folders/Collections in LightroomClassic   I just asked adobe official tech support and they sent me here.   Say you have 100 Folders or Collections, or Collections sets. You currently cannot sort the folders in the collection pannel so that folder named "100" is at the top!   So you have to Scrool Down 100 Collections folders to get to the lastest few collections you were working on. I know I could rename my folders but I dont want to.    The sorting available now is "sort by Kind or Name"   There is no Toggle for Up and Down (Ascending / Descending) for Sort By Names.    That's all I'm asking, This would be great and would help so many people that are currently renameing or scrolling a lot just to get to their preset panel or to see the latest collections they were working on.   Sorting feature just like already exists within a collection for the Photos.   A Toggle for top to bottom 

This has been going on for long time now, haven't had time to post about it as I resent having to spend so much of my time doing so.   Adobe, please make you metadate panels in Ps, Br and Lr the same. Please make them work properly and make them consistent to each other. I'm about to lose my mind bc of this.    Photo 01 shows that i am unable to scroll down any further, note the scroll bars have topped out. What IS that? I can't work like this. Can't see entire fields.   Photo 02 show nice big readable metadata fields in Lr, bravo. HowEVER, if you go into Lr's metadata "edit presets" you get Photo 03, completely useless metadata fields that make me want to jump off a bridge. The "Rights Usage" field only allows one to see ONE LINE at a time. Omg. I have one client who loves to pack info into these field, it used to be so easy and smooth, now its a ridiculously frustrating and amature affair. How does Adobe allow this sort of thing to happen and continue? I hold out

In Lightroom, please "remember" the currently select images in each folder as I move back and forth. This would be such a time saver!

Stable Diffusion exports PNG files with the Copy Generation data in chunks. I would like to see both Lightroom and Photoshop read, keep, and export this information. Context: I would like to make changes and add a watermark to my images.

Color range mask does not retain the same color when copied to another photo. Instead, the mask selects just a similar color. This makes the tool a bit annoying, since it always just guesses which color could be the one you need. It would be great if there would be the possibility to also choose a color, and then it saves the color for the mask, just as the luminance range mask does. When I select the skin tones for example and copy it to another image, where there is a person with another skin tone, the tool sometimes selects just a grayish green tone. For example, “adaptive mode” and “static mode”.

The only tool in iPhones built in camera roll editing software in my opinion is the brilliance slider. This is a very helpful tool, and when used with caution, can yield great results. I wonder if Adobe has ever considered adding their own version of a brilliance slider?

In Lightroom 14.4 Classic, AI-enhanced image data is now stored in a single DNG file along with the original image data. Until now, I've been archiving data to different repositories with different compression settings; one repository for the original data in lossless compression, the other for the enhanced data in lossy compression. I have now lost this option. Would it be possible to continue to allow separate storage (in order to save space)? Perhaps as a selection in the options when exporting?

Hello, I often edit batches of photos where I need to use the adjustment brush to paint over a subject’s face. It would really improve my workflow if the adjustment brush could stay open and active as I advance through images.   Right now, I have to open the brush (K), paint, close it (K), move to the next image, and repeat the process. If the brush could remain open while I arrow through multiple images, it would eliminate the repetitive task of constantly opening and closing it.   Thank you for considering this feature!

Hello Adobe,   I've been using Photoshop since the first public release. Same is true for Lightroom. Thank you for your superb products!When clients send me their selects, sometimes the physcial filename for those images get renamed because of how they are viewing, culling and emailing the images back to me. Recently I was sent images with cryptic filenames, which takes more time out of my schedule to track down the images.In Lightroom's Slideshow, there's an option to add text overlays for each image. One of the options is to show the image filename. I'm requesting to add the same text options found in Slideshow to the Export / Watermark menu. This will allow Lightroom users to bake in the filename as superimposed text over the image — so if the physical filename is ever modified, the Lightroom user can still easily track down the original file since it's visible on the image itself.I've included a sample image of what the Slideshow Filename overlay looks like.   Also,

LrC, please add a Not Sky mask in the mask options when creating a landscape mask. Yes, I could simply create a Duplicate and Reverse mask, BUT.   The purpose of such a mask is to be able to edit tonality, etc., for everything not in the sky. For example, Curve, Clarity, saturation, dehaze, items you may not want to apply to a sky.

When you create a landscape mask, you are prompted to select what subtype (Sky, Vegetation, Ground, etc). If you select multiple ones, the masks are automatically named as such (Sky, Vegetation, etc). BUT when you select just one, it is not automatically named as such, and you need to manually rename it (if desired)   Request that this naming occur in both situations.

LrC, request Vibrance slider be added Effects sub-panel in the Masking edit panel. Also consider moving the Saturation slider to this panel from the Color panel, so as to match the general edits (not masking) panel.

For LrC, request that the option to hold down the Alt/Option key on sliders when in a mask as to show clipping (Whires, Blacks, etc.) be added as is already in the general tone panel.

When using Topaz, I woudl like to have a box to rename the modified (by Topaz) file when it is saved back to the LRC libarry.  This option is available in Topaz Photo AI app, but not in LRC.   A box could be put in the Additional External Editor menu saying something like.. 'add prefix' 'add sufix' etc.    This feature would enable fast searches for all Topaz modified files.
