Feature Requests

Lightroom: Add 10-bit support for end-to-end 10-bit workflow. That is, Application->Driver->Graphics Card->Monitor for true 10-bit color. At the moment, all that's missing is the application. CS5 supports 10-bit color, why not Lightroom?

This suggestion is not about buttons and controls per se. I have a bit of a problem with the way the LR interface looks so dark compared and somewhat cluttered to other programs (such as Photoshop and Premiere Pro). I think it may be the very dark borders between and around panels. I'm guessingthe idea is probably to isolate the pictures, but for me it ends up providing too much ~contrast~ against the pictures. I would be very happy if this became customizable or just les contrasty.

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.

Please Adobe - make such an option. To just completely disable this absolutely useless for most feature. I want LRC to never show these white areas, at all. I am an architectute photograph, i sometimes have a thousand pics a day to run through LRC and a lot of them Auto align with white parts all over. I know a can make a preset for this to be on, but so much simpler just to disable this. Thanks!

Allow Lightroom Classic to read system environment variables in presets.If I had a environment variable set on my system, such as YYYY= 2025And I used %YYYY% in a preset, such as ["com.adobe.copyright"] = "Bob Scola (c) %YYYY% Seattle WA "Then the preset would apply the string:   Bob Scola (c) 2025 Seattle WA 

I want to have the latest version of an edited picture available in jpg/jpeg (or even png/ tiff/ ... depending on ones preference) for immediate usage on every platform and in any tool. Today LRC forces me to keep detailed track of every picture I modified in order to export it out of LRC. Even more to assure that I still have the lates version and not forgot to export. It would be great if there was a selectable option that asks if an automated export should be started whenever an editing session ends. The existing parameters/criteria that are available within the export function could be used. In addition, an option to either overwrite the latest exported file or create an extra copy should be added. That way it is very easy, flexible and a fast to keep the non LRC versions of the photos in sync with the LRC catalog.

I use the "Make a Second Copy To" feature all the time.  I find it invaluable.  If I stuff up and lose an image or deleate and realise I need it some days later, it's a God send.  It's much easier to retreive recent images that way than from a full backup.  Of course the Lightroom 2nd Copy file builds up very quickly.  Every now and again I'll go into it and deleate anything more than about 2 calendar months old.  We have such good facility to clean out old previews.  Can't we have something similar for the Lightroom 2nd Copy file? 

Good morning,For a few weeks I have been using a 2 in 1 computer with a stylus for editing photos in Lightroom and it is very wonderful compared to editing with the mouse. It's much more comfortable, I often do this lying in bed with the tablet on my legs.However, there are some features of Lightroom that would require adaptation for use with a pen:1. The bars and their slider for adjusting exposure/contrast etc located in the right panel are a little small. For optimal work it would really be better to thicken them and enlarge their cursor.2. The numbers of these bars which indicate the percentage are located to their right. These numbers are hidden by my hand when using the stylus. So it would be good to move them to the left of the bars.3. When using the stylus I do not have access to the keyboard and therefore certain commands are harder to execute. Example: undo, multiple photo selections. It would be cool to have a small panel on the screen that can be personalized and which woul

Does anyone know if it's possible to filter the folders in the Folder Panel using any kind of logical operators or anything more advanced than every word being an OR search?For example, I have a bunch of folder names containing the term "Final X", such as 2018.06.08 - Final X Lincoln and 2023.06.09-10 - Final X & BTS. If I type in final in the Filter Folders search bar, it will filter all of those Final X folders, but it will also include folders like "Final Images" or "Tournament Finals".     That's all well and good. But then if I try to filter it further, by entering final x, I end up adding in any folder name that contains the letter x, like OBX 2012 and Exported, instead of further filtering down to folders that contain the entire search term.   I've tried adding quotation marks around it (both single and double) like "final x", enclosing the term in parentheses (), brackets [], and braces {}, using a boolean operator like final AND x.

I am unable to import the new Cinematic video files to Lightroom Classic (updated) from my iPhone 13 Pro Max (iOS 15.0.2). Any tips or suggestions? Thanks!

As far as I know, there is currently no option in Lightroom Classic to combine automatic editing with custom adjustments. I would love to see a feature that allows users to define manual adjustments that are applied on top of the automatic edits. These additional adjustments could include: Exposure: Brightening all photos by +0.3 stops after the automatic adjustments. White Balance: Increasing the white balance for all photos by +100 points. Highlights: Boosting the highlights for all photos by +10 points. The important part is that the automatic editing remains the foundation, while the user-defined values act as additional adjustments, allowing for greater flexibility. This would make it much easier to adapt the auto adjustments to match a specific style or project vision without needing to fine-tune each image manually. I believe this feature would greatly enhance the workflow for many photographers and content creators.    

I use the "Open as Layers in Photoshop..." command often in my work. I deal with a high volume of product photos, and it would be great if I was able to have a shortcut for this command.  It would also be great if I could select a lot of photos and have them open as layers into seperate files based on the stacks. (not 1 photoshop file with all the layers, but instead several photoshop files, 1 for each stack)   It would be great to see these improvements in future versions. Thank you for considering.

Please can we have an option to add a stroke border in the Lightroom Classic develop panel . It is time consuming to have to either go to print module or move the image to Photoshop to add it . 

Do you guys think you can make the x-button to close out the tethered capture smaller?  

When LR tries to export a photo that's corrupt, the export hangs and never completes. It should produce an error message instead.   Worse, there isn't a way for a plugin to detect and recover gracefully. The call to rendition:waitForRender() will never return, even after the user cancels the corresponding task in the progress bar. Several of my plugins rely on exporting photos, e.g. Any Vision.   To reproduce on LR 13.2 / Mac OS 14.4.1:   1. Download this tiny catalog: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/48dtex70opjseeyhsm0hn/corrupt-bug.2024.04.25.zip?rlkey=hrf6fsoogaklqw77so3n723a0&dl=0   2. Copy the script "corrupt-bug.lua" from the catalog folder into the Scripts subfolder of the Lightroom settings folder.   3. Start LR.   4. Select the one photo and do File > Export, exporting it as a JPEG.  Observe that the export never completes, with the progress bar showing:   Also observe that the following error appears when LR is run from Terminal

Please give much more options for Lens Blur boheh.like these: https://www.diyphotography.net/9-lenses-special-bokeh/I especially looking for swirly Bokeh options like vintage Helios lens.Custom bokeh (we upload bokeh pattern image) would be the best.Is it possible? 🙂

I was trying to remove a distraction on the corner of the image, and was only selecting what was visible in the crop and the remove tool was giving me weird results. Took me a while to discover that's because I was not selecting the full object till the actual end of the image, which was ocluded by the crop.   What I think a better behaviour should be is, to show the whole uncropped image when you're applying any of the Healing/Remove/AI fill tools, with some minor overlay of what's cropped. If you're using those tool on a portion of the distraction you usually get weird results.   Here's some Remove Tool results by selecting what's visible (after the crop)   I can cincumvent this by drawing a much larger area outside the cropped frame to get good results. But... Not a bug but annoying: Notice how the pin is now greyed out. I can't select it as it's center is outside the limits of the crop.  

I use Loupedeck where I can easily press a key for the transform functions'level' or Auto'.  Sometimes it is necessary to use constrain crop on the image, which requires a mouse over to select the box.  It would add to speed and efficiency to have a shortcut key to select that function.

Hi, I've rented a Canon R6II the past two weeks and made extensive use of the pre-release RAW-burst function to capture daytime lightning. I can extract RAW's from those burst via the Canon DPP4 or in-camera, but it would be nice if Lightroom could handle the roll files as well. Even if only for library management. Extracting RAWs from it like you can do now with JPEG's from movie files would be awesome. Peter

Lightroom allow the named face panel to be frozen / lockedwhen tagging a large number of photos, the unnamed panel gets rather large, and it's difficult to drag to the named panel as it moves up off screen. If the named face panel had the option to freeze it, that would make things a lot easier, similar to function in excel thanks

Hello everyone,   I think that LrC deserves an icon like in ACR or L(cc) for the before\after view option. I don't understand why LrC doesn't has it.   ACR   Lr(cc)

When moving a folder from one drive to another, if it is not being dropped into an existing folder, one cannot complete the move within LRC. In Windows, when performing the same move, one can drop the folder into an empty space at the same nesting level as the existing folders.  That works. Most other folder/file move operations are identical to Windows folder/file management.  This one should be too.

Similar to how match exposures works, is there a way to add a 'match white balance' that can bring images as close as possible to a similar white balance for situations like flourescent or recycling lighting? 

Sometimes I'll have shared an entire gallery of edited images and then at a later time I want to re-edit the entire gallery with a different look.  It would be great to have an easy way to save the original edited version all at once for all the images in the gallery (or those selected) instead of having to create a snapshot of each image one by one before applying the new edits.     Would love to be able to select multiple images I want to create snapshots for and then there would be a submenu available under the '+' sign next to Snapshots that gives the option to create snapshots for 'all selected images'

A few feature requests for Lightroom:   1. Auto exposure (not just auto tones) 2. Auto exposure (or tones) that prioritises skintones (so to expose for the subject, not the whole image) 3. a liquify tool 4. AI culling, similar to that in AfterShoot
