Feature Requests

1) Please update your Lightroom Classic Book Module to include Blurb’s new “Mini Square” 5x5 in. book format.   I make photo books for some of my clients and I love the way the book module works in Lightroom Classic. It has the best integration of any book making tools I’ve used. It makes it very easy to correct and edit photos after I’ve placed them in the book layout with very minimal effort. I have already contacted Blurb about the lack of the “Mini Square” size book in Lightroom Classic’s Book Module and Blurb says the ball is in Adobe’s court on this issue.  Thanks   2) Another request is to be able to have a few more target collections exist simultaneously.  For example, I would like to go through folders of photos and press the “B” key to send some photos to one collection, and then press a different key to send photos to a different collection.  This would save me from having to go through a folder of photos two times.  And if I could have 3 target

We also need the neural filters to be added to Adobe Lightroom, at least the face retouching and the depth of field features as it will make the post-processing faster and it's something that is being done automatically that doesn't need layers or brushes so it's applicable.

Lr needs an option, on catalog upgrade, to "upgrade in place", so as not to change the filenaming scheme that the user has already put in place. This could be as unobtrusive/simple as:   Duplicate the catalog files Zip up the copy set with an archive name (user or automatically generated for schema version) Delete the "copy" files Upgrade the catalog without changing it's name   I have no use for the catalog schema version number unless I'm trying to recover back to a particular version. This would be more useful to me: Why is this valuable to me? Because I have multiple Lr catalogs and each time they need upgrading I have to do the file management and naming for each catalog in order to retain straightforward naming structures. Otherwise the names start to get out of control (see below). Doing this manually introduces the jeopardy of the user deleting something that they didn't mean to delete...  

At today we can directly invert the selected Tool or selected Mask using respectively the keyboard shortcuts  ' or Cmd/Ctrl + 'There is though no way to hide the currently selected Tool or Mask via a KBSC  I frankly find myself needing to hide or temporary hide the selected Mask or Tool infinitely more times than I need to invert it so I suggest to implement a KBSC or string for "Show/Hide Selected Mask or Tool" As for Show Overlay by holding the KBSC we should able to hide the Mask or Tool as long as we hold the key, no history step added in this case. I know we can Hide a Mask or tool via right click menu but is only possible if we right click precisely the edit pin, so is not that fast and that's why I make the FR. If not a KBSC at least if we if we had the string we could assign a custom KBSC to it either via Mac Os or Any Shortctut plug-in by 

As far as I can reproduce it, since LrC 13.x HDR, Panorama and HDR Panorama mergers result in Lossy Compressed DNGs. That's a total no go. Dear Adobe, please revert this instanly by an over night fix or give us at least an easy to find checkbox in the settings to decide that by ourselves. We don't need Adobe making that kind of decisions for us creatives, that's anti creative.

Hello everyone.  I'm seeking some help to solve a strange issue.  Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and updated from Win7 -> Win10. As a result I was finally able to update Adobe CC, PS, and Lightroom. Previously I was running the latest version of Lightroom which could exist on Win7 (which I think was version 6).   Anyway, I completed the update to Lightroom Classic v10.1.1 and noticed the menu bar is now a bright white.  Personally I find this very distracting.  Looking back through the forum it seems like there were a couple people who had a similar issue a couple years ago.  They were able to solve by updating to the latest version.  Obviously, that hasn't worked for me.I also tried to reinstall Lightroom v6.  The menu bar was now white. I also tried to revert back to Lightroom Classic v10.1.  The menu bar was white. Then updated again to the latest version v10.1.1.  The menu bar is still white. Of course I also tried going thro

When using the face recognition to add names to captions automatically, the names are only exported in alphabetical order to the metadata, not LEFT to RIGHT, with the names matching the position that the people are pictured in the photos.   When adding names to photo captions, the names need to be listed in order from left to right and not alphabetically. This should be the default order for adding names to photos using face recognition. It makes no sense to list the people in a photo alphabetically.

I work on hundreds of pictures at a time and I have been waiting for Lightroom to get this feature for years. It seems like a simple feature that should be added. Especailly since Bridge has had it for as long as I can remember. I am talking about a BATCH option. I don't mean syncing lightroom edits to other pictures. I mean batching through photoshop using actions. Like on Bridge you would go up to Tools>Photoshop>Batch...   So here is what I am wanting to do. I shoot a lot of people on a solid background and then cut them out to put on another background. I usually set up actions in photoshop to do most of the cutting out and switching out the backgrounds for me. After culling through my pictures I would like to select all of the pictures and click on a button to run batch actions straight from Lightroom. I've tried doing this using Bridge and Lightroom together but I get tons of metadata errors. They get along as good as fighting siblings. I even have pictures disapp

Allow for grouping of masks. If multiple masks are used the masking panel can quickly become confusing. Being able to group masked would help in that case. This would also help if multiple presets are applied on a photo if masks belonging to a preset are automatically put into a group named after that preset.

Since the latest update using jpegxl for compressed DNG files, the use of cloud services like google drive for backup storage is negatively impacted, since preview images won't show. It's a shame, because the smaller file sizes offered by the new compression actually make the rest of the workflow much nicer. Not to mention that finder/explorer also cannot preview the files currently.   An option in the DNG conversion settings to maintain standard jpeg as the format for embedded previews would allow users to take advantage of the benefits associated with jpegxl for storage and features, while not breaking the file preview experience in almost every other app.

I think it would be very helpful to architectural photographers to allow  a grid display during Live View Tethered capture.  Or at least one vertical and horizontal line that can be positioned.  I imagine product photographers would also like this.    I've seriously thoght of moving to Capture One since they support this and it would help speed up my workflow.  I hope Lightroom will implement the feature.

Hi, I was wondering if it's possible to bring up a loupe overlay png file in the live view window? I know Capture One has this option and as a full time commercial photographer, this feature alone is making me consider switching. I've done a tone of digging and can't seem to find a yay or nay on the subject so I'm asking the question here. Thx. 

Sorry if this has been discussed before.  What if there was an option in the "Export As A Catalog" function to have the export done in the previous version format? For example, "Export As A Catalog" folders or files that have been processed in LrC V 13.x in a format that can be Imported into LrC 12.x.   This would ease the problems of users who have already processed images in V13.x and because of bugs or whatever need to go back to V12.x.

In a big catalog it's hard keeping an overview of collections which have already been used for images in one disk folder.   When sorting images into collections (I am in the left pane on the disk folder tree) it would be helpful, when already used collections (inside the selected folder) are displayed below the disk folder, nearby other normal subfolders. Example for a disk structure: Pictures    2023-10-01       normalSubfolder1       collectionA                     <-----       collectionB                     <-----    2023-10-02       collectionA                     <-----       collectionX                     <-----   They should have a diff

Denoise AI is fine (although the resulting files are rather huge compared to DXO or Topaz).But I would like to preview the result in the before/after box without the coloured noise in the "before" display. Just as it occurs in the classic denoising effect.By default the Raw image is already coloured denoised, why showing something that as already disapeared? Only luminance noise is required, precisely what we see before clicking on Denoise AI...

Steps to reproduce:   1. In the "Settings" menu hold Alt/Option.   Actual Result: The menu entries "Copy Settings..." and "Sync Settings..." do no change to headless "Copy Settings" and "Sync Settings"   Expected Result: Headless modes for Copy/Sync Settings re doable via the menus. The strings for these commands seems to be totally missing.   User should be able to perform these task without navigating the buttons AND with entries in the menu users could even be able be able to assign custom KBSC to these headless commands modes via Any Shortcut by @johnrellis      

Nowadays, more and more camera manufacturers such as Canon and Sony have supported HEIF format photos, and there is no doubt that this format will have wider application in the future. If I turn on the RAW+HEIF format on the camera, LR will import the same photo repeatedly during processing, which is obviously unnecessary. In preferences, LR has the option to enable/disable "Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos". Is it possible to add an option to "Treat HEIF files next to raw files as separate photos"? Note: HEIF photos have multiple extension such as ".heif", ".heic", ".HIF". Check Wikipedia for details.  

I wish I could teather my camera to Lightroom classic on my laptop via a wi-fi connection instead of a physical teather cable. 

As a timelapse photographer, I need this feature so much!Birds suddendly appear in different parts of the frame & look like rubbish in the final video. I know some tricks in AE/Pr how to remove them fast with the Lighten blend mode by duplicating the same footage and moving it 1 frame forward, but it doesn't always work perfectly. It often gives artifacts. Being a perfectionist, I do it manually frame by frame in PS with the Spot Healing brush.Can you imagine how time consuming it is? 300-500+ images to clean... At sunrise the birds wake up and are very active. Almost the same thing with the sunsets. That's why I need the feature like the content aware birds removal. I'm sure it would be also useful for amateurs and landscape photographers. How should it work? The filter should automatically detect birds and remove them like the Content aware fill. You already have the algorithm that selects the sky, just teach it to find the darkes

I have to scroll a lot of presets in lightroon and must constantly scrolling. A search or sorting function here would be very helpful. thanks 🙂

I love that we can now add colours to Folders.It would be great if the colour lables for Folder Panels were Visible Across Bridge and PS

As soneone who uses Loupe Overlay with clients layouts almost every shoot to show a client how their image will fit into a banner ad, print ad or whatever needs they have I wish that we could get a more deliberate overlay tool in the right hand sections. Using transprant png's to illustrate the image/ad relationship I am asked every shoot to see how an image will work with a super wide banner ad, an instagram ad, a vertical ad etc etc. Currently switiching between them is cumbersome and adjusting the image and layout is tricky. It would be amazing to be able to just scroll through each layout as it works over one image, with easier way of adjusting the image within the overlay for the different layouts. 

When we change Preset Amount for a Preset that contains a Point Curve LrC automatically places on it several control points more.   E.g. Linear Curve     Change Preset Amout to +101     S Curve   Then change Preset Amout to +101       Placing perfectly on the existing curve several control point is very useful, it should not be doable ONLY via Preset Amount.   Please implement a "Draw All Control Points" option via right clicking the channel. All the control points should be placed evenly on the curve so also in the HDR region (if we are in HDR)     .  

"RGB Channels" should be available in Copy, Sync, Preset and "Update with Current Settings" windows.   It has bee asked over and over and it requires very little engineering to add 4 more checkboxes. To save Ui space they don't even need to be all put vertically.         .    

Hoping Adobe would consider expanding the functionality of the Previous Import selection to include a dropdown of the last 5 or 10 imports. When ingesting multiple cards at once, they are often split into various folders. Since the majority of the time, images are getting the most attention shortly after import, it would be great to have a quick way to visit several of the most recent imports, not just the previous one.
