Feature Requests

With a large library, I've accumulated over the years some files that either become damaged or have formats not supported by Lightroom Classic. The report window links individually to each one, which is very time consuming and could be easily managed at a later time if all those could be 'tagged' in some way that is searchable, either an attribute tag or a metatag, or giving the user an option to relocate them or identify them in some way later on.

Hello, I work for the account owner. I just want to note that on the next update, it would be incredibly helpful if in Lightroom Classic, when you press "f2" alone to rename a file, it automatically selects the file name itself. Previously, one could press f2 and immediately type or scan to rename the photo.  Right now, what is selected by default is the dropdown menu, so we have to hit f2 + tab each time. This may sound frivolous, but we take hundreds of photos each day here so it is tedious.I can't determine which specific update made this change. I have tried downloading earlier versions from creative cloud, but they are not supported / I am unable to open them. It would be great if the user could at least change the settings to enable automatic selection of the file name, rather than the automatic selection of the drop-down menu. Thank you. 

Would be possible to have this feature? I often have to deal with uniform backgrounds and to make them neutral I have to go back and forward to masking mode, really a waste of time! Thanks

When importing photos from an iPhone in Lightroom Classic, it would be valuable to limit the number of items shown on the import page to prevent freezing and to ensure thumbnails can be shown.   I have been using an iPhone for 10+ years and have 100,000+ photos on my iPhone. When trying to import photos from the iPhone, (on a MacBook Pro M2 Max with 32 Gb RAM) Lightroom cannot properly handle this number of photos. Limiting the number of photos, for example by paging, or by filtering on date, would likely solve this problem.

I'd like to be able to crop images while viewing an overlay in the Loupe Overlay feature.   This is helpful for a lot of reasons (obviously cropping to layouts) and also for many newer "fixed lens" cameras (eg. Fuji X100VI, Leica Q2)  which have built in crop modes (because of the huge file sizes) to show you closer focal lengths in the viewfinder. These images lose their crop as raw files (they keep it in the cameras jpeg files). I could make a template for Loupe overlay to show the exact crops of all the possible camera crops and crop my files easily.....if I could crop when the Loupe Overlay is active (like you can do in C1). Thanks, Alan.

I frequently have to work off my laptop when away from my studio.   I work off a 16" laptop screen when on the road.   Whilst it's a decent size screen, it feels small when the develop panel (in the develop module) takes up so much screen space.   Sometimes I minimise the panel and continue edits using shortcuts but I can't see the values of the adjustments as the panel is minimised.   Is there any way to make the develop panel semi transparent so I can see the image full screen but still see the values of the adjustments I make?

I use a programmed call ENTAGGED for GotPhoto to sell portraits.  The program automatically writes a barcode into the the meta data copyright field so that when it is uploaded to GotPhoto, it will automatically sort into galleries created by the barcode.   I like to 'rename' files in lightroom with the copyright data where I've previously appended a "name" to the barcode in Excel.  This way when the file writes to the copyright field the name and barcode are there.  This is good for "naming" files in LR but not for uploading to GotPhoto after edits are made.  GotPhoto can only read the file if I remove the name from the Copyright field and leave ONLY the barcode.  It's a 2 step process but I cannot manually cut and paste per image to remove the name.  I'd like to know if there is a way to ask LR to remove all data to the right of the barcode that is separated by an underscore "_". {Barcode}_{child first and last name}  

I would greatly appreciate a dynamic "Export to" location called "catalog folder." When making client work, I won't be able to add the exported pictures of the clients to a folder next to the catalog and I won't be able to add them as an export template.     It would be a huge help for me, especially when exporting multiple recipes at once.

Die Exportoption "Benutzerdefininierter Name - Originaldateinummer" funktioniert leider nur bei raw-Dateien. Beim Export von tiff- und psd-Dateien werden bei gleicher Einstellung fortlaufende Nummer vergeben. Laut Support ist das kein Fehler, sondern Absicht.Ich wechsele oft zwischen Lightroom und Photoshop (zum Beispiel beim Fokusstacking) und möchte, dass auch die zurückimportierten tiff- und psd-Dateien mit der Originaldateinummer exportiert werden, damit die Bildnummerierung einheitlich ist.Insbesondere bei Aufträgen, bei denen nur einige Bilder mit Photoshop überarbeitet werden müssen, habe ich ansonsten zwei verschiedene Nummerierungssysteme: bildname-1.jpg, bildname-2.jpg für die tiff-Dateien und bildname-4711.jpg, bildname-4712.jpg für die raw-Dateien.Die Kunschaft wundert sich über die seltsame Reihenfolge der Bilder.Bei Überarbeitungen ist das Auffinden eines Bildes ohne Originaldateinummer erschwert.Auch das gezielte Überschreiben einzelner Bilder ist nur unmittelbar möglich

The sorting option in the grid view of the library is set to: "Capture Time" by default. But this is not really handy for me and more photographers I know. Every time after importing captures I need to set this sorting back to "filename" which I believe is the best default setting. Working with multiple photographers and multiple editors everybody is complaining about this defaut "capture time" sorting setting for many years now.   I can imagine that for some users this default setting is no problem at all but for us this is really a irritating. The best way to solve this would be a preset in which the user can set which sorting order he/she would like to have set as default. This would solve all problems for all users. This would really be a big help! Please consider this as this would really help to make this program beter and beter.   Kind Regards,   Krijn Westerburgen

I wish to request a drop-down option of 'is exactly when configuring Smart Collections to source images from a specific folder (exactly).    This will allow one to configure refined rules for a specified smart collection, without the interference of unrelated images that find their way into the collection because of one word.    Let me explain my scenarios a little more...    For reference, in the screen capture below, you'll see I have a top-level folder 'Australia' followed by sub-folders for each of the states. Within each state, I also have folders for each region and/or location to further catalogue my entire collection. These folders may partially include words of the chosen folder name. For instance, Western Australia will source images from any folder with 'western' or 'Australia'. Being that all sub-folders are contained within the 'Australia' top-level, the smart collection then sources images from all the sub-folders that have western in the nam

Now that LR 9.2 supports importing PSB files, it would be a little more convenient if you could specify PSB as the default format for editing in Photoshop (Preferences > External Editing > Edit In Adobe Photoshop > File Format). As it stands now, if you want to save an edited file in PSB format, you must remember to do File > Save As and select Large Document Format.

It would be good when Lightroom stops and messages that the keyword already exists if it simply asked - Do you want to use the existing keyword rather than leaving you to cancel out of the process then starting he keyword again.

I would like to suggest that a function be integrated into Lightroom Classic that makes it possible to view the bit depth of photo files so that the file does not have to be opened in another app such as Photoshop or Bridge.Thank you very much

I have so many looks as .cube files recreating them as presets just takes super long. Other programs offer that already but switching between programs takes forever

https://imagen-ai.com/product/ 여기에 들어가면 유료로 사용할 수 있는 기능이 있습니다.조명실에서 피사체 레이어를 자동으로 정렬하거나 생성하는 기능이 있습니다.업데이트할 때 전체를 자동으로 동기화하는 기능이 없는 이유는 무엇입니까?현재 기능이 자동으로 동기화되면 좋을 것 같습니다!!!

Hi!   I would like it for Adobe Lightroom Classic to have color sample points like ACR. In ACR I can make accurate color corrections by having up to 10 color sample points. I cannot do this in Lightroom. Please add color sample points to Lightroom Classic so I can color correct accurately.   Thank you very much.

During File Import, if you tick 'Into Subfolders' for file Destination supercedes "Organize: By Date".    It would be far more convenient if one could import "By Date" and then "Into Subfolder" - as oftentimes when shooting events or high volume starting to organzise between SD-cards or even in between shoots is highly convenient.    One Day I might be importing a number of jobs during the day before I can actually come around to manage them, and then if they had all imported on the same date into Different Subfolders, that would be extremely helpful.    Additionally, if importing into a Collection, you should be able to tick 'Create Subfolder in library' or something of that effect. It would really underpin the organizational element of lightroom and encourage people(myself included) to make full use of Collections. Which are such a powerful tool.    THank you for the consideration. 

Currently there is no option to discard all keywords (but keep all other meta data) in the Export-menu.   So my suggestion is to add this option. Or did I miss something?

It is currently necessary to open the context menu to access the intersection of masks. Adding an "Intersect" button next to the "add" and "subtract" buttons would save a few hundred clicks per day for people who, like me, use this feature a lot.

After a crop, I noticed that the whole picture is used by Lightroom when erasing details (spot removal) in the corners or the edges of a picture.The result is that quite often there is something of the cropped section in the corrected zone. I guess that taking into account the cropped image and not the whole one would be more efficient... To make myself clear an example attanched, the crop and the result.I finally used the healing tool to get a satisfaying result.

When I have multiple Masks on an image, I cannot see a way of re-ordering those masks. Example, if I had masks for Background, Sky, People, Eyes. The order of the masks seems to be fixed to the order you created them in. There doesn't appear to be a way of dragging or moving the masks into a more logical preferred order. As I'm considering batch adding a whole set of masks to every single image. It would be great to be able to re-order the masks if wanted. Unless I'm missing something. 

Hi! I have a lot of white background pictures to retouch, an really, my eyes hurt for this angry Highlight Clipping red colour. In "Masks" there is few colours to choose, here is not. I'll be glad to see that in future releases, maybe in general settings few default or my own in HEX. I was searching this in google, yt, and there is no way to do that right now. Thank you for reading it! This option will help a lot of packshots photographers to not loose their eyeballs 😉

An AI-supported function which automatically searches for exposure brackets or panorama shots in specified memory locations after activation.The images found could then be automatically created as a stack or the respective stitching could be started as an HDR or panorama. An AI-supported function could "evaluate" whether the stitching worked well or whether there were problems - AI support could also be used to "intelligently" denoise or interpolate the resolution and details using the existing images.

An export function in Lightroom Classic which denoises the images with AI Denoising before converting them to the target format.I envision this as a normal selectable export function - which is placed before the "sharpen for" option and either "intelligently" sets the level of AI denoising - or where you can select a fixed percentage.The images are then temporarily denoised in full resolution during export - and then converted to the respective target format and target resolution.This would avoid the cumbersome process of developing and corresponding denoising with huge files - this is still needed for individual photos - but not necessarily for the masses.
