I frequently find the loupe info overlay view options frustratingly limited. It’s a great tool to have, but to me it would be more useful if I could set a few more lines of info and toggle it on & off with the keyboard shortcut as opposed to cycling through two more limited sets of info. It would also be nice to be able to set the font color, opacity, and size. I made a mockup to show what could be:Loupe info 1Loupe info 2Loupe info concept 

Przydała by się opcja usuwania drutów energetycznych w usuwaniu rozpraszających elementów.Bardzo mi tej funkcji brakuje w lightroom=ie 

I find myself keeping the info overlay on while editing to be able to see the lens and exposure settings I used, however I would rather not have it on all the time when I can just glance over at the histogram panel to see that info, yet usually when I do it’s showing me the RGB values of whatever pixel my cursor is hovering over. This is not really useful to me (at least not in Lightroom) and I would rather turn this off so the exposure and lens values are always present. This typically comes up when I click on the image to view at 100% to see if I have any motion blur and then glance over to see if what my shutter speed was… only to find the RGB value instead. 

I've been using Lightroom for 10 years now and I still love the program. I don't do many VFX tweaks and barely use photoshop for event photos. But I would love if Adobe can allow you to choose and adjust polychromatic film grain, not just monochromatic. Film doesn't have monochromatic grain unless it's B&W. Also would love a Halation effect. Something that you can adjust color, brightness, bloom, softness, etc. Does anyone else want this?

Dear Adobe, I shoot headshots for business people who use their photos on Linkedin and social media which employs a round image window. Having a simple circular view within a 1 x 1 crop would be most ideal, rather than having to create a Radial Mask just to see it. Thanks,John

Hello,Can the AI "Remove Distracting Elements" be supplemented with the "Construction Cranes" function?It takes a lot of effort to remove all the annoying construction cranes individually.Thanks 

I have photos organized in Windows under the Picture directory. When I add new photos, I manually copy them into an appropriate folder and then use Import in Add mode to add them to the catalog. I really want Lightroom Classic to only show in the Navigator files from the Pictures directory, and in fact only files from selected folders within it, the ones I have explicitly imported.What I see is that Lightroom is somehow importing files from directories that are in the same Drive, but under Documents or another same-level folder in the drive, not Pictures. I never manually imported any of these files. Most are icons that are associated with an installed program and are not photos I took. These completely pollute the Navigator window, as shown below:I don’t know whether this is a bug or whether it is functioning as designed. But in any case, I would like LIghtroom Classic to allow me to have my preferred workflow in which only photos and folders I have added via the Import dialog are eve

Color labels are not being synced from LrC to Lr cloud.

AI search inside Lightroom. I would like to search for images inside a catalog using a line of text. For example, I write : "Man with eyeglasess holding a class of wine" or "Armchairs near ocean" and Lr find the image in the catalog. I believe that is possible to do this. Thanks. 

In the Lens Blur Panel, add an eye dropper for the refine brush so a user can sample a part of the image that has already been blurred and match the amount slider to that area.That way it will make it quicker to dial in areas that the ai has mis-identified or the user wants to have slightly more blur to without a lot of fussing with the amount and the flow.

Lightroom Classic seems like a name that was given to an app that is meant to be phased out over time and I think many of us can agree that the 'Classic' version of Lightroom is a much needed application in studio and professional environments. Putting in a request to change the name from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom Studio. Also thought about including 'Lighty-Mc Lightface' as an option 😉.If you're a Lightroom Classic user and don't like the 'Classic' in the name please share your thoughts here and perhaps Adobe marketing will agree and change it to something better.

Scrolling through the library in grid mode can be tedious when you have to reach the next batch of pictures. But some people still prefer to scroll through than to reach the folder tree to narrow down the set of pictures.So please, for these people, could you provide a way to skip series of pictures based on :import batches OR day of capture OR hand inserted “chapter markers”.And provide a set of shortcuts for that (jump-scroll / insert chapter marker) !Thank you !

If 5 images were taken in succession, and are extremely similar - it is a pain to choose. If you could select say the eye and tell lightroom to find the image which has the sharpest eye - that would be cool. This could be paired with duplicate image functionality, or face detection somehow

I miss the option to add “Aperture” to the Text Template Editor for slideshows. I am aware that there is “Exposure”, which includes both shutter speed and aperture, but not aperture alone. Focal length and ISO are available separately, so I wish aperture was too. 

When a photo is inside a saved location from the map-tab, then this should be added automatically as a keyword for that photo.Ideally this could work in the same way that People are automatically added to the keywords, so that they appear under ‘will export’ rather than as a manually added keyword.This would make managing travel photos much easier as I could identify the locations on the map and then use filters and smart collections in the library tab to quickly find photos by location.Integrating it with the keywording will also allow you to do things like having synonyms and keyword hierarchies so that keywords related to the location are automatically added too.As it is the Saved Locations don’t seem to have much function, they’re just a way to quickly zoom the map to a location

Feature request: Please add Lightroom support for common Adobe publishing and Web image formats, such as EPS, AI, PDF, GIF, and PNG. Many of us use Lightroom to manage client images in NEF, JPG, PSD and other formats. But the clients' associated images, which are used on their Websites and in their logos and publications, are invisible to Lightroom. If Adobe Bridge can display these other image formats, why can't Lightroom? Even if Lightroom did not provide direct editing support for these other image formats, it would still be extremely useful if Lightroom could catalog and display them. It would also elevate Lightroom from being "just" a photo editor into the realm of being a true Digital Asset Manager (DAM). Now that Lightroom includes basic video support - isn't it time to support all the common image formats that our other CS applications use? Please vote for, as well as reply to, this request if you would also like to see Lightroom support these additional common image formats...

When you export, you can designate a size and PPI - so for my example, lets say A4 size, 210mm width at 300PPI. The crop ratio of the paper size is 1.414.I am printing some photos at full bleed, so I need an extra 5mm bleed beyond the 1.414 crop of the image. The crop ratio will be slightly different (1.395) due to the bleed, and I will lose some of the sides of images if I just export the original image. There is NO easy way to change the existing crop ratio and pick the exact number of pixels I need for the bleed - this is very painful to do (and involves doing quite a bit of fussing in Photoshop to preserve my exact crop in the printed area of the page).I believe that this could be very easily implemented and solved as an Export option in Lightroom and would be an enormous benefit for anyone wanting to preserve their existing crop when printing full page. In the Image Sizing option of the Export dialog have an additional field that allows you to specify a bleed amount which will be

The History panel in the Develop module is very useful for tracking editing steps, but it does not show when each step was made. When editing a photo across multiple sessions, it becomes difficult to know when specific adjustments were done. Adding a visible date and time stamp to each history entry would make it much easier to follow editing progress and manage changes over time. Since this information would increase the length of each history line, it would be helpful if timestamps could be shown as an optional setting that users can turn on or off, or shown on hover. Appreciate your consideration. Charis Pavlou

I’d like to request a feature that would significantly improve Lightroom Classic as a media catalog, especially for modern hybrid photo/video creators. Request:Please allow Lightroom Classic to catalog and display unsupported video files (thumbnail + basic metadata + tagging), even if playback or editing is not supported. To be very clear:I am not asking for editing, scrubbing, reframing, or decoding support.I only want the file to be visible in the catalog so I know it exists.   Why this matters  Many of us use Lightroom Classic as our primary organizational hub — our “single pane of glass” to see all photo and video assets at a glance. However, Lightroom currently completely ignores video files it doesn’t recognize at the codec/container level. This makes those files effectively invisible, even though they are critical parts of our projects. A major real-world example:  Insta360 cameras (X3, X4, X5) are now extremely common Their native video formats (e.g. .insv) are widely used

When can we expect generative expand as in ACR to be in LRC? 

I would LOVE to be able to move the panels in Lightroom in the order I use them most!

As discussed in another thread, I want to propose that Lightroom (Classic) stores data for AI denoise, AI super-resolution etc. not in the XMP sidecar file but in a second sidecar (maybe .acr).   Only the pure setting (AI denoise/superres/... used/not-used & intensity) should be stored in the XMP file next to other editing settings. We like to have the XMP for better transportability of single photos. The goal is just to keep it efficient and lightweight.   Reasons are: Other file formats can save 50%+ storage capacity (as they allow for more efficient binary storing of that data instead of text-encoded storing in XRM). Large XMP files slow down every other action that gets stored into the XMP (as the XMP file gets re-written after adding keywords, changing descriptions, changing exposure settings etc., which takes several seconds each, if the XMP is several MBs big due to AI-data). Advanced backup strategies can be used, if the ai-data (that could be re-calculated

Hello the team, It would be nice in the development module to set some options for the previous button.What I expect the most from this is the ability of applying ALL the parameters from the previous photo to the current photo, EXCEPT the cropping settings.Regards,Yann

Multi-select and batch manage multiple selections within a single mask Description:In the current masking panel, it is not possible to select multiple selections within the same mask.For example, when a mask contains several selections such as Object 1, Object 2, etc., I cannot Shift-click / Ctrl-click / Cmd-click to select multiple selections and perform actions on them together.Currently, we are forced to: Move selections to another mask one by one Delete selections one by one Invert or manage each selection individually I would like to have the ability to: Shift-click / Ctrl-click (Cmd-click on macOS) to multi-select multiple selections within one mask Move selected selections together into another mask group Delete, invert, or manage multiple selections at once This would greatly improve efficiency when working with complex masks and multiple detected objects.  

Dear Lightroom team,I am a long-time Lightroom Classic user and I am very interested in using Content Credentials in my daily publishing workflow. Currently, Content Credentials are still in Early Access and, according to the WP/LR Sync developer, they are not yet available through the external Publish Services / SDK interface.My use case: I publish images from Lightroom Classic directly to my WordPress site using the WP/LR Sync Publish Service. I would like to have Content Credentials attached to these exported images as well, so that the same trusted metadata is preserved when going through a Publish Service, not only through regular exports.The developer of WP/LR Sync has confirmed that they are not blocking this in any way and that they are waiting for Lightroom to expose Content Credentials to external Publish Services.Could you please consider:– exposing Content Credentials to the Publish Service SDK / external services, and– sharing any roadmap information on when this might be
