Feature Requests

I have used for many years iView, and then Expression Media to catalog my files, and I must say that even today I did not find nothing better from this point of view (on Mac). As the actual one is very limited, it will be very nice to implant some more powerful search/find function in the LR Library module. Something that allow to make very precise researches like, for example: "Find all the tif or pdf files with a weight > 1 000 000 bytes, a resolution of 300 dpi, an Adobe RGB profile and 16 bits of depth..." Image is not available It will be very nice too to have the possibility to personalize more the info on the preview module (for example somebody could be interested to see the weight in MB of each file, of the embedded color profile, or the resolution, or the depth of the file): Image is not available

If you accidentally hit CMD/CTRL + A and select all photos and then do CMD/CTRL + SHIFT + R you reset all edits on all photos without any warning at all.If you are in an edit flurry and don't realize you just did that you have destroyed your library. I know, I did it without realizing it to 200,000 photos.   Please add a dialog to confirm resetting edits, especially if more than one file is selected.

It would save us all a lot of time if we could export our books created in Lightroom as spreads. Currently it exports as pages that even have to be re-pieced back together. Strangely though when one picture takes up two pages it always exports that one as a spread. So it should definitely be possible with a minor tweak in the settings. Thanks!

Since I posted this in 2021, and it still hasn't been implemented, I thought I'd post again.   Please allow to set the cell size, then check a box that says Protect Cell Size so I can move margins but have them stop from encroaching on the cell size.  I have to keep going back and forth, an finessing between Margins and Cell Size.  Hard to believe that Lightroom is around almost 20 years old and this is still annoying. So simple, it would look like this:     Gridlines, like in Photoshop,  for laying our greeting cards would be nice too.Reid 

At today we have the ability to move a Mask. While this is a welcome feature it is absolutely not enough!   • Case 1 Often two or multiple Masks on the photo are created in relation witch each other,  complementing each other, they are "linked" to each other so to speak. These Masks (although separated and with different effects) need to be moved at the same time, simultaneously! Now it's impossible to do so in a simple and efficient way.   • Case 2 In our work we might find ourselves in need to move simultaneously some but not all components within a Mask...at today this is impossible. We should be able to select which components to move simultaneously.     We need to be able to select and move simultaneously multiple Mask and Components. We are severely handicapped now without this basic feature.   .

Who thought it was a good idea to have the lightroom shared links defaults to some random sorting ?? How hard is to have the capture date sorting by default when sharing a gallery??

Scrubby Zoom now works like a charm in develop module BUT we still can't use it in Loupe View 😞   It's a strange omissions: we should be able to use Scrubby Zoom in Loupe View as well and it should be implemented.  

Stacking is such a helpful and useful feature. For example, when I create a panorama or an HDR bracket, I can stack the photos together, select the stacks, and then let LR figure out the bracketing. SUPER USEFUL for basic bracket shots or panos.   However, I have to unstack or expand the photos to do things with the stcked photos. Some examples:  I have to expand the stacks to mark the used brackets as rejected.  There is no "relativity of stack status" between collections. In other words since stacks are collection specific, I can't grab an entire stack and move it between collections, or add the entire stack to a collection unless I expand the stack. Even if I do, its not stacked when it arrives.    SUGGESTIONS: make a command key to allow stack manipulaton - basically a "select all in stack" option key for the selection process.   make a "reject all but top of stack" command somewhere. A variant on this could be a "flag top of stack and reject the

Uma sugestão para o Lightroom Classic, poderia ter a opção da IA em corrigir as fotos que esta superexpostas e subexpostas, tendo como exemplo alguma foto pré definida. Poderiamos selecionar a imagem que queremos refente a "exposição" selecionar as outras fotos e assim o IA faz a leitura se precisa de mais luz ou menos luz. Obg!

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
