Feature Requests

Hello, I am a user of adobe products for years now. But still I have not seen any improvement in case of the perfomance within photoshop and lightroom in the context of NVIDIA graphic accelerators usage. Is there any plan to introduce support of RTX video cards to speed the importing process and operating thumnabils and generally postprocessing within the lightroom enviroment? There are many products that are using to process images the video cards support with great results. Topaz Labs is a great example here. That shows it is possible.   Cant wait to see finally proper usage of our computer equipment properly. We, customers are forced to upgrade systems, increase RAM amount, but the perfomance is dropping and dropping down instead of being increased by the devices that are now commonly accessible.   Best regards, Darek Jaszewski, photoportraitist

I'm a wildlife photographer who has just returned from the Arctic. As I'm editing, I find myself with aproximately 1,000 images in sequence of an interaction between a polar bear and a walrus, in which the polar bear wakes a sleeping walrus on the pack ice who is obviously startled. What would be helpful is a crop feature in which the main subjects, in this case the polar bear and walrus, remain centered in frame across thousands of synced crops. This would solve having to manually recenter thousand(s) of images. 

This question came up in a class I teach and I ended up writing a 8 or 9 step set of directions to do it!   Create a preset for Auto Go to prefs and  make it the global choice yada yada yada   Why not just have it show up in the Apply During Import panel?

PROBLEM: The URL for a "Make Public" synced collection is too dark to see     PROPOSAL: Make it brighter

Linking the autofocus points of the camera (from the metadata) with the 100% section in the "Details" category in the "Develop module" would be very helpful.

I am using Keywording as my example, and there are many further examples where I have similar issues.   I would like to be able to slide the Pop Up Menu when creating Keywords to a postition on the screen where it does not sit right over the centre of the photo, so during an editing session it will always open in the place I have moved it to.   I invariably find myself having to move the screen around all the time when working on an edit as it invariably covers some of the information that I am working with.

Ability to lock Lightroom masks to avoid accidently activitaing or altering one. I often find that I have several masks and while working on one I inadvertantly trigger a different mask and sometimes move it, or unintenionally alter it.  A lock icon inbetween ot the "three dots" and visibility icon (the eye) would be very very useful and helpful. Easy access to trigger it and turn it off. I believe it would be an extremely useful feature.......

Hello everyone,   I think that Lightroom Classic is missing a very useful and fast option to copy specific changes from a photo to another photo/photos like we can do in ACR or Lightroom:     This option in Lightroom Classic is not fast like the Synchronize window I showed above because you've always to select and unselect the boxes:   I think this this is a big miss and I don't understand how it is possible.

I make extensive use of the "Select People" feature.  I always create separate masks for Facial Skin, Body Skin, Eye Sclera, Iris and Pupil, and Teeth.I then select each mask and apply a standard preset; e.g., "Soften Skin (Lite)" for Facial Skin, "Teeth Whitening" for Teeth. etc.Please allow me to specify a default preset for each mask type, so that this process is automated.Thanks.

Hallo in die Runde   Mein Wunsch/ meine Idee ist, Einstellungen für die Farbmarkierungen zu bekommen. Hab einen Screenshot angefügt - eins der Fotos ist als rot markiert - leider sehe ich das tatsächlich garnicht aufgrund meiner Farbsehschwäche.   Wäre toll, wenn man als Nutzer die Farbtöne bzw. Deckkraft anpassen könnte, um diese sehen zu können. Aktuell sind die Markierungen so für mich nicht nutzbar.

I shoot a lot of real estate, and using "select Objests" works good, but I would love a "Select Ceiling" option in Lightroom. Seems easier that "select sky".

Hi, I would like to change the brush flow in the masks after I apply it. Now if I select the brush in a mask and move the flow slider it does not change. I hope this can be done in the future. Regards Fabio  

Hi   As an ethical pro-photographer, specalized in demonstration / manifestations such as pride or political events, It's important for me to control the amount of clues on a pictures which make it possible to identify people (faces, tattoos, numberplates etc...).   It's easy to use filtres in Photoshop to blur or pixelate parts of the photo, but I would need more powerful options to do it in Lightroom Classic. Until now I use masks and "clarity" / "sharpness" / "blur" cursors to blur the faces, and I often need to duplicate the effect and it's not really satisfying.   I would love to have an option to make the process faster, so here are some suggestions: -add a new cursor or option in LRC to add blur of effects specifically to anonymize or make something unrecognizable (a more intense blur effect in one pass) -add an option using AI to detect and generate fake faces replacing the ones in the picture (which would need to include this information inside the metadata, "AI

I'm a wedding photographer and I use Lightroom Classic as my main post-rpoduction tool.Today I lost my precious photo custom order, again. Why, really, why can't we save photo custom order??? Why I opened Lightroom and photo order has changed to File name? So, if I accidentally move a photo again, I loose all the previous reordering job. Why in the hell I just can't save a custom order per folder? Is this feature so hard to implement?And please, don't tell me that the solution is to rename all photos after finishing the reordering job.

Hi, For keywording, my typical first step would be to have a look at the standard photo categories (Example given below taken form www.shutterstock.com homepage) to enter as "generic keywords" before entering the "photo specific keywords". For the generic keywords, the only asssistance I have in LR is "Keyword Set". But I find the no. of cells it has only 09 which is limited. According to the below list, if I have at least 30 cells I could easily visit the relevant Keyword Set and then select the appropriate categories from it at once.Is there any way I could increase that or how do I make a request to Adobe regarding this? The standard categories I found in Shutterstock.com: AbstractAnimals/WildlifeThe ArtsBackgrounds/TexturesBeauty/FashionBuildings/LandmarksBusiness/FinanceCelebritiesEditorialEducationFood and DrinkHealthcare/MedicalHolidaysIllustrations/Clip-ArtIndustrialInteriorsMiscellaneousModel Released OnlyNatureObjectsParks/OutdoorPeopleReligionScienceSigns/SymbolsSports/Recre

Bring back the possibility to stop a Collection from being synced AND stop photos in that Collection from being synced as well, in one-step.Since LR CC 2015.7 this happens when you stop syncing a Collection (clicking the little sync icon or deselecting Sync with Lightroom Mobile via mouse contextual menu):(Now you have to go and find those photos in that Collection from All Synced Photographs and remove them from there. Too many steps, too cumbersome and too easy to make a user error.)There still is the requested option to remove photos at the same time when you delete a Synced Collection instead of just stopping it from syncing:That same option should appear for just stopping the Collection being synced as well.The first dialog for stopping a Collection from being synced is messy altogether as it asks if the user wants to "Stop syncing these photos?" but the button for doesn't actually stop syncing the photos and instead keeps those photos synced to LR Mobile

Hi all,    I regularly shoot tethered to Lightroom with my Hasselblad. I shoot directly to a MacBook Pro with a 2nd monitor that faces away from me to allow clients/art directors to view the images as they are shot. When I want to overlay copy/text using the 'Loupe Overlay - Layout Image' tool this does not display on the second monitor but only on the MacBook (Main/1) display. Is it possible to do this? Or can I request it be added as a feature? This also applies to the other tool in the 'Loupe Overlay' namely the guides and grid options.   It's a shame no one else can see the image on a big screen with the text overlaid!   Thanks!

i very often need to create a copy of a photo and move it to another folder (when i create a folder structure within one project). it would be perfect when all iterations/copies of original photo will be synced (100% identical), virtual (not using disk space until export), movable to different folders of catalogue. "virtual copy" is not a solution because it's not movable to another folder. thanks. fv

When I have exported an image in LRC - I would like to add the name of the folder to which the image is exported. And not just export and date as there is today  

I frequently create colections that I sync publicly and I enjoy that feature much.  However, if I need to watermark images in a collection before I sync them publicly, that capability is not offered in Adobe Lightroom Classic.  I must first watermark and export the entire collection to a folder on my desktop.  Then I have to re-import that watermarked collection back into Lightroom and from that batch, I can create a publicly synced, watermarked collection.  Adobe, if you're listening, PLEASE GIVE US THE ABILITY TO WATERMARK PUBLICLY SYNCED COLLECTIONS DIRECTLY OUT OF LIGHTROOM CLASSIC.

I have often found that it would be helpful to know which edits happened between different snapshots. For example: I make 10 changes to the original photo and create a timestamped Snapshot A. Then, I make 5 additional changes to various settings, and create timestamped snapshot B.   Currently, no "Snapshot [A/B] was created here" step shows up History pane. This means that I have no idea what changes I'm actually reversing if I go back to snapshot A from snapshot B at some point. I don't know what stage in the History I'm going back to.   It'd be helpful for snapshot creation to just show up automatically as a step in History—as it does already with an "Export" action.   A workaround (below, h/t @prbimages) basically involves creating a snapshot and then applying it immediately afterwards. Applying a snapshot does show up as a step in the History pane, which is why this works—but it'd be nice for snapshot creation to automatically show up!   Create a snapshot.

There's currently no way for a plugin to update the AI settings for a photo. For example, users of my Copy Settings plugin must do a manual Update AI Settings after copying masks.  If there were photo:updateAISettings(), then Copy Settings could save users that manual step.

Problem:   When I export more than 11 photos, my computer will be slowed down significantly. This might not be a problem, when I export just one folder, but in order to separate photos from an event of different people, I need to start several export processes and also have to wait for them to finish. Additionally, I cannot work on anything else. I usually have a lot of photos around 20.000 to 60.000 in one catalog. They are distributed/organized in several folder by date and by events. My usual process is to import all my photos, sort them, discard them, edit every photo, export those in different folders. An export of around 1000 photos (32MP) can take around 1/2 hour up to 1 hour easily. I want my computer to work on them, when I don't use it.   I have a decent computer (AMD Threadripper 24 cores, 64GB RAM, NVMe SSD 2T, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060 Super), which needs to work on 45MP Photos in RAW.   What I need and probably other users as well: I need to queue an export

It would be helpful if the filter settings set for a folder are maintained while importing and exporting to a catalog. I regularly batch export files to create HDR versions of an image. While doing this, I'll attempt to work in another folder while Lightroom Classic supposedly works in the background. When setting filters in the newer folder I'm now working on (while LR is exporting in the background) these filter settings do not hold. LR removes the filter settings every time it imports a new file from the background export. Please update LR to keep filter settings so I can be more productive. 

The left column in LrC (where catalog, folders, collections, etc live) has an artificial width restriction. It means that a lot of my collection names are cut off; I have to hover with the mouse cursor for a bit to have it show the collection name.   Is there any way to adjust this (e.g. allow for a wider column or wrap text)? I can't find anything in settings. Or do I just have to deal with it/adjust all of my collection naming schema to fit within the restriction?   Especially if some crucial info is towards the end of otherwise similar collection names, it really gets to be a pain. The usable space gets even shorter when dealing with multiple levels of nested collection sets.   I'm running a MBP 13" M1 2020; Sonoma 14.4.1; LrC v13.2. Issue presents with the same cutoff at 1680x1050 and 1440x900 resolution.   Note: I have this issue on LrD as well, but it is able to show a lot more of a collection name prior to cutting things off.
