See this discussion:   I tried the “convert to DNG” function and in INCREASED the file size. Settings were:Only convert Raw files (obviously) Delete originals after successful conversion Extension: dng Compatibility: CR 16.0 and later JPEG Preview: None Emebed fast load data: NO Use Lossy compression: NO Embed Original Raw File: NOWhile I do understand the benefit of DNG over proprietary raw, for long term support, I do not think it’s a good idea to allow an increase in file size without a warning.While the alleged open character of the dng format is a good selling point, I do not think it’s going to be an issue to open raw files in the future. Nevertheless, I appreciate that option. Therefore I think the main selling point of dng would be a higher compression yielding in smaller files.Note: I also know that a Lossy compression would obviously output smaller files, but that’s not the point. ==>Hi ​@Antoine HLMN,Thank you for taking the time to explain your suggestion in more detail.

In the Print Module we should be able to "Print to TIFF", at 8-bit and 16-bit.   We can already print to JPEG but many would prefer to print to TIFF.    

Please add an option to turn off the obnoxious grey transparency grid when viewing files in Develop mode. You know, like Photoshop.

Hi, Nikon has released FW 2.0 for the Nikon Zf two weeks ago, which finally enables Flexible Color on the camera (similar to the Z6III). This enables users to create "recipes"/LUTs so to speak within NX Studio, and export them as .NP3 files onto the Zf/Z6III/Z50II.    Upon importing the JPEG + RAWs to Lightroom (as of the latest release 14.3), there is no "Flexible Color" Camera Matching Profile on the Zf like there is on the Z6III. Please see the attached screenshots for your reference. I believe this should be fixed/added via an update to Camera Raw.   As someone who is 95% satisfied with my "custom .NP3 flexible color settings" on my Zf to achieve the images I want, there's only a slightly edit I want to apply to the RAWs. But, importing them into Lightroom automatically applies Camera Standard (and not Flexible Color, like it does on the Z6III). As expected, this results in a very different look and strong color shift since it isn't saving the Flexible Color inf

When will we have European (or custom) paper sizes in the BOOK Module?  I am fully aware that Blurb only supports US paper sizes but there are many non-US printing services which will print a book from jpg or pdf files.  You should be able to support sizes other than those used by Blurb. The recent improvements in LR 7.5 were great but I think will only be usable by American users.  Come on Adobe you have MANY users who do not use US paper sizes!!!!!

Please add support for CMYK ICC profiles (FOGRA39, PSO Coated v3/FOGRA51, etc.) in Lightroom Classic Soft Proofing.As a magazine publisher, our entire image workflow is already based on Adobe RGB. We do not need CMYK export from Lightroom, nor any advanced prepress functionality. We simply need the ability to preview standard print conditions, just as Photoshop does with Proof Colors.When working with large image sets, Lightroom is the ideal environment because we can review, compare, and adjust many images at once. However, when dealing with highly saturated greens and blues, we need to check for potential clipping and out-of-gamut colors for print. Currently, this requires opening images individually in Photoshop, which significantly slows down production.A simple CMYK soft-proof preview matching Photoshop's behavior would allow print-oriented users to evaluate images directly in Lightroom while retaining their existing RGB workflow.Lightroom is where image selection, comparison, rat

It would be great to see some AI features that some Adobe competitors have started to adopt. I would love to see and AI Sharpening tool similar to the AI Denoise. Also, given that Lightroom Classic is such a great organizational tool, I would also love to see an AI Culling feature where the program could analyze and sort by features such as pictures being in focus, with the best exposure, and whether a subject's eyes are closed. Competitors such as "Aftershoot" are beginning to incorporate such features into their products. I'd rather be able to get it all in one place.

Ik ben linkshandig. Ik werk veel op een S10 tab ultra met Stilo. Als linkshandige is dat vervelend. Voor de app zou het fijn als de buttons van kant kunnen wisselen.  Change button layout from left to right for all lefty's out there  please. 

Add the ability search for duplicates in a field like the Title. This will help find duplicate titles given to different photos. Even sorting on the Title in the grid is currently missing. The title is extensively used and very important field.

For Photojournalists like me it would be very great  to place a text in the Caption of the recognized faces of people in the right order (e.g. from left to right John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr) Additionally it would be great to save useful informations about the people (e.g. Function, Band, Instrument, Party, etc) e.g. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU). 

When in freeform cropping with the lock unlocked I would like to see a visual representation inside the cropping overlay with the pixel widthxheight and/or the aspect ratio (1:1 , 4:3, 16:9 etc). If these is the ability to snap to default aspect ratios when you get very close to them it would be even better. This is needed when hunting for a specific composition and using familiar crops when presented as opposed to choosing a crop before knowing it will work for the photo.

As discussed in the other thread, LrC 14.4 will store AI denoise/super resolution data in .lrcat-data. This storage seems to be permanent: once AI denoise is enabled for a photo the blob will be stored indefinitely.   The proposal is to limit the amount of AI blobs stored in .lrcat-data by some threshold size and automatically clean up old blobs. If a user opens a photo with a deleted blob again, it needs to be recomputed by running AI denoise again. So this basically trades storage space for additional processing.   I know that this means that opening a photo with a missing blob the first time will result in a significant delay. Users might still want this behavior. Standard size preview generation could use the non-AI-enhanced version of the photo since AI enhancements (except adaptive color profile) are probably not visible on small previews anyway.   This would make AI blobs work the same way was preview storage works.

For bird photographers, an application that allows editing birds independently of their surroundings (vegetation, sky, water, etc.) would be very appealing. However, birds are not always detected as the main subject, and when they are, the mask often includes vegetation or other elements.It would be fantastic to be able to edit detected birds using the "select birds" function, similar to how "select people" is currently done.

Please add the option to arrange panels on a second monitor, so we can access them immediately without constantly scrolling and expanding/collapsing sections.Please allow users to customize keyboard shortcuts and assign shortcuts to commands that currently have none. For example, Select Objects is one of the tools I use most frequently, yet it has no dedicated shortcut, even though there are still unused keys available (such as K–M range combinations) that could be assigned to commonly used functions.Also, please consider adding an option to use the Camera Raw-style interface in Lightroom.

Keywords do not sync correctly: When added on the mobile app (iOS), they do not appear in LR classic and not in LR Web (I deleted the new LR CC immediately, this version does not make sense to me). Same problem into the other direction: Keywords from LR classic do not appear on the mobile app. Attention: At this stage the whole keywording within the iOS app should not be used!

There are already features that create new images in LR, so why not add collage, and perhaps compositing. There are a whole bunch of ways in which such a UI could work, but ... here's something fairly easy to visualize in the case of collage. User has a panel from which to select collage layouts. Let's say for now they're all rectangular.User selects a layout, along with color/gradient/photo to use as background, etc., then selects photos to drop into it.With photos in the layout, drag to swap them, click and hit delete to remove, etcResize with scroll wheel, also the usual "fit/fill" etcMove borders by grabbing the border and draggingWiden/narrow borders by grabbing border edge and draggingDraw new slots with right click-drag rectangle, or whateverOverlapping slots should be fineDelete slots in one of the obvious ways, right-click context menu, click-select delete key, whateverBorder changes have optional snapping to make it easy to keep things aligned Ideally the colla

Would it be possible to combine multiple pictures into a single image? Like a grid. Or even free-range, placing them anywhere within the picture and downloading it as-is. AND,Is there a way we can download a landscape picture in a 1:1 ratio? Or even 1:1:1? Like by sections. So that when we upload to Instagram, it appears as a single continuous picture. If that makes sense. V/RNeto

Lightroom clasic has great new features with AI masking, however I am still missing animal detection. I believe this would be very helphul for equine, dog, wildlife photography and even for basic home users.    Current solution is use of AI feature subject detection, however it often fails as it does not predict well shape of an animal, this results as manual corrections needed on every mask when batch editing is used.

Exporting HDR images from Lightroom with HDR gain maps appears to embed a three channel gain map of equal size to the image. As someone who works with high resolution (60MP) images, the increase in file size from this is not manageable as it can nearly double the size of images that can themselves be 40MB+.   ISO 21496-1 accommodates for this by allowing the gain map to be smaller than the actual image by an integer scale factor, and allowing for a single channel version that is effectively a luminance map.    As an example, Apple uses a 1/4 size (scaled down by factor of 2 on each axis) single channel gain map for photos taken on iPhone. This minimizes the increase in file size. Putting aside image compression, you have 1/4 the number of pixels, and 1/3 the bits per pixel, so the parameters Apple uses may take up something like 1/12 the size of a 1:1 size three channel gain map.   In a use case like mine, a scale factor of 2 would still be a 15MP gain map whic

It would be very useful if the smart collections could work recursively. What I mean is that the filters on the upper lever would work on all collections under that collection and the lower level collections could have additional filterse.g.| Landscape| |- 5 stars| |- marked redPortraits| |-John| | |-5 stars| | |-B&W| |-Mary|-5 stars|-B&Wand so forth. This would make lot of organizing much more straight forward.

Lightroom currently allows Smart Collections to filter the contents of regular Collections, but not the results of another Smart Collection.Example:Smart Collection A:Camera Serial Number = X Filename contains YSmart Collection B:Source = Smart Collection A Folder contains “2603”This currently does not work, even though the exact same setup works when Smart Collection A is replaced by a regular Collection.Supporting Smart Collection → Smart Collection filtering would eliminate duplicated rules, simplify complex workflows, and make large archives significantly easier to manage.The current workaround is to create a regular Collection and continuously copy the contents of a Smart Collection into it. This feels like an inadequate solution to a problem Lightroom should be able to solve natively. It also introduces unnecessary maintenance and creates additional opportunities for user error, especially in larger workflows with multiple collections.

Would love it if my Lr Mobile and Browser would mimic the organization that I’ve set up in my LrC collections. Moving images and albums around in Mobile and Browser is cumbersome, practically impossible, frankly. I only use Mobile and Browser to share albums, or to show images from my phone when away from my computer. I find they are difficult to find in Browser or Mobile once synced, and manually organizing them in browser or mobile is way too many steps. 

Je travaille avec des copies virtuelles de mes Raws pour avoir diverse versions d’une même image, par exemple un cadrage en portrait, un autre en paysage, une version en noir et blanc, une autre recolorée etc, Ce ci sur plusieurs images d’une même collection, pour en conserver les divers développements dans les .xmp associés à l’image originale et les retrouver si je souhaite ouvrir une des version directement en ouvrant le Raw dans CameraRaw, sans passer par LrC, il faut que les divers développements soit enregistré dans ce .xmp pour que je puisse sélectionner la version désirée. Actuellement, je dois créer l’instantané photo apr phot, je ne peux pas en sélectionner plusires dans le film fixe, je souhaiterai que ce soit possible comme ça l’est pour d’autres paramètres ou EXIFs 

Can you please add the ability to allow “Shot Name” as a token in the filename presets within the Tether Capture Settings?It’s possible to change the Shot Name as you shoot, which is great especially when doing headshots or products - but there is no method of including that in the filename during tethering.It should be easy to implement - if it can create a folder from the shot name, there shouldn’t be any difficulty in allowing it in a filename either.Thanks.

OK, I'm not sure I can describe this good. But sometimes LR is slow when you start a few tasks, like exporting images to jpgs, web galleries, etc, that you wish that those could be done at a time when you're not by your computer (say at a coffee break, lunch or even leaving the office for the day). It would be cool with a feature where you could queue several tasks, that can be done when the computer is having "down time" or when you tell it to "start processing task queue" or similar. Or a possibility for third party vendors to script something like this (or even yourself if you're fairly good as scripting).
