It automatically groups your photos into "Current Session", "Last 24 Hours", "This Week", etc. This stops old edits and exports from mixing with new ones when you return to a catalogue after a break. It saves time by letting you instantly isolate and export only your most recent work. To optimize workflow continuity for high-volume creators, Adobe should introduce a dynamic "Smart Session History" or “Recently Edited” filter within the primary catalogue navigation panel to isolate active work from historical adjustments. Currently, returning to a project after a break requires manual flagging because the native "Edited" status pools all historical data together. This proposed feature utilizes local application state logs to automatically segment edited assets into three real-time categories:Current Session: Isolates only the assets modified since launching the application for the current work block, providing an immediate view for targeted exports. Last 6/12/24 Hours: Bridges the gap a

To be able to say, this photo is ready to publish to Stock or portfolio and simply hit a button or select in menu and have the process automated. It would be nice if it transferred to a routine allowing user to select exact location. Similar to publishing to social media or transferring to a plugin. 

When Generative Remove was introduced to Lightroom Classic, it immediately became a game changer for me. Tasks that previously would have required importing an image into Photoshop and spending a significant amount of time removing background distractions, unwanted objects, or unexpected issues can now be handled directly within Lightroom Classic, from a workflow and time management perspective, it has been incredibly useful I have also found that Generative Remove can go beyond simply cleaning up a background. It has become surprisingly effective for refining subjects while still producing natural looking results. A few examples that come to mind are removing visible bobby pins from someone’s hair or correcting a distracting wrinkle in clothing while maintaining the natural shape of both the outfit and the person wearing it I have even experimented with using it for more detailed retouching. For example, I had a client who wanted some visible stomach lines reduced. Normally, that woul

I have a three monitor ‘Windows’ setup. I want lightroom / photoshop on monitor 2, the photo full size on the secondary display on monitor 1. Monitor 3 is used as general purpose, often showing ChatGPT as I edit. I cannot get the full size photo on monitor 1 to stay there if I start typing on monitor 3. It goes blank.A good answer about the issue was received from Conrad C in the forum, as below.This isn’t a technically verified or official answer, but just from experience, I am not sure this is solvable unless Adobe makes some changes to the code. To me, the Secondary Display window appears to be  a floating “palette” or “panel” in the same way as panels in other applications. The problem with that is, in most other software that I’ve used, panel-type windows appear only when that application is the active/foreground application. Switching to another application hides all of the first application’s panels, even though the main application window stays visible.In Lightroom Classic the

We have amount sliders on masks, presets and various other individual features (eg. sharpening) but we don’t have them on the panels themselves.  Particularly the color/tone panels.  These would be very helpful in fine-tuning changes made without having to change individual settings within.  How many times do we make our Tone Curve, Color Mixer, Color Grading, Calibration changes to get the perfect colors then walk away and come back the next day to see that we had over (or under) done the changes.  We then need to go into each panel and tweak the individual sliders to fix.  If we had amount sliders on each we could simply dial up or down the amount of the panel.  Exactly as we can do with the masks.  This would save a tremendous amount of time in my edit workflow.

I am a sports photographer, and Getty Images *requires* the use of the IPTC "Personality" field for all athletes shown in the image before submission.  I do most of my sorting, culling, IPTC labeling in PhotoMechanic before importing to Lightroom for toning and cropping (No AI anything allowed!). PhotoMechanic supports the Personality field, which I use to insert the subject of the image's name.  However, when I search for an athlete in Lightroom's "all searchable fields" , I get a "nothing found" result.     In searching Adobe.com, I don't see "Personality" field supported by Adobe (yet).    It seems that Getty would have enough weight to get Adobe to support the Personality IPTC field.

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

I find the Reference View very useful. But I’m missing the crop tool there.For example when I’m using a handheld camera to make portraits the camera angle differs somewhat from frame to frame.As I often put together several photos with different expressions on a book page. Then it’s important to be able to control the crop precisely. It would be very convenient to be able to use the crop tool in the reference view to make the crops fit together.  

I'd love to make LR more multi-computer friendly. I have no doubt that there's probably database architecture issues and a host of other barriers... But I have to believe that the need for either multi-user or at at lease multi-computer use is widely desired. And yes, I know you can do the catalog import export thing but I find this less than ideal.

The new lens blur function generates a depth map from images without depth information. It would be nice to be able to use this depth map for mask creation. Right now only lumance and color range is support here, but depth range is disabled if the image doesn't contain a depth map. In this case an AI generated depth map could be used to enable depth range based masks even if no depth data is recorded in the image.

[Update: See this reply for a list of third-party plugins providing automatic image tagging: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/automatic-image-tagging-with-google-cloud-vis... -- John Ellis]Hi all,who of you likes organising and tagging pictures in your image catalogue? I don't. I'd love to keep my focus on taking photos. When I read about the Google Cloud Vision API, I thought this cloud be the solution for my problem that I don't like organising, but love having things organised. Cloud Vision is a service that takes an image and returns a set of keywords, places, brancs, etc. it detected. Why not let Google do the work? So I started learning Lua and Lightroom development to create such a Plugin by myself (hold on, it is nothing there yet).When I started thinking about the actual plug-in, the question came up what would other Lightroom users expect it to look like? And what other features do you expect? So I forwarding these questions to you. What do you

Individual photos in develop have an indicator whether the AI needs to be updated. There is an option to batch update photos to batch AI update required. The batch does not allow to review individual results of the AI update in case unwanted changes have occurred.   I would like to suggest adding a Filter attribute for 'AI Update Required' that would allow a manual selection of those photos needing the update. This would allow makers to individually walk through the selection to apply the 'AI Update' and review the results. 

When I’m scrolled to the bottom of the ‘Basic’ panel, and then click on panel below it doesn’t open at the top of the selected panel. In the second image, you can see the top of the transform panel has been cut off when the panel is selected.  It isn’t a major problem, more an annoyance having to scroll up ever time when all I want to do is select a transform mode.

The lowest common denominator for auto-stacking is 1s. For event photography and rapid-burst, this doesn't always work as intended. I'd love to see an option to reduce the time between photos to 1/100 of a second.

It would be a really cool feature to be able to sync video films from Desktop Lightroom to Mobile Lightroom rather than just the other way round. We use Lightroom Mobile to present image media to clients but have to switch from Mobile Lightroom to another programme when we move the presentation from 'stills' to the 'motion'.

Impossible to choose a proposal because of the contouring : for exampleIn this case of a little part to delete, it will be usefull to hide the outline.

I discovered that when saving JPEG files in Adobe LR, banding began appearing on smooth color gradients, even at maximum quality. If I save the file as an 8-bit TIFF and then convert it to JPEG using FastStone, I can select RGB as the photometric type in the saving options, ensuring flawless gradients.Samples:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fJsowuWjIv6RQDeImtK2_7we30tIqLNT?usp=sharingCan you implement RGB photometry support in JPEG to achieve better image quality?

Feature request: Export or copy selected photos as a contact sheetPlease add a simple Create Contact Sheet option to Lightroom desktop.The idea would be to select any number of photographs in Grid view, or select an entire album, then choose:Export as Contact SheetorCopy as Contact SheetLightroom would automatically create one or more contact sheet images containing thumbnails of the selected photographs.Ideally, the user could choose: Number of columns or images per sheet Thumbnail size Include original filename Include rating, flag or other basic metadata JPEG or PDF output Image quality and overall dimensions Selected photographs or entire album Copy directly to clipboard For large libraries, Lightroom should automatically create multiple numbered contact sheets rather than attempting to fit everything onto a single page.Why this would be usefulContact sheets are still extremely useful for culling, reviewing and sharing large photographic collections.For example, I cur

Problem:   When I export more than 11 photos, my computer will be slowed down significantly. This might not be a problem, when I export just one folder, but in order to separate photos from an event of different people, I need to start several export processes and also have to wait for them to finish. Additionally, I cannot work on anything else. I usually have a lot of photos around 20.000 to 60.000 in one catalog. They are distributed/organized in several folder by date and by events. My usual process is to import all my photos, sort them, discard them, edit every photo, export those in different folders. An export of around 1000 photos (32MP) can take around 1/2 hour up to 1 hour easily. I want my computer to work on them, when I don't use it.   I have a decent computer (AMD Threadripper 24 cores, 64GB RAM, NVMe SSD 2T, NVIDIA Geforce RTX 2060 Super), which needs to work on 45MP Photos in RAW.   What I need and probably other users as well: I need to queue an export

Why don't you help us out and incorporate logic inside of Lightroom “auto” to disable vibrance and saturation adjustment on profiles other than your native profiles like Adobe Color and Adobe Standard. The vibrance and saturation adjustment for “auto” was designed to work only with the color matrices of your native profiles. This may not seem like a big deal to you but you try having to click a preset that sets vibrance and saturation to 0 1500 times.  No this is not something I do this is something every single one of your users does that's using a camera matching profile or calibrated profile other than your native profiles. Over and over and over and over and over and over again thousands of times. Thank you!

I use Lightroom Classic for high-volume professional photography and regularly cull several thousand images in a session.My workflow is to remain in the Develop module with the Crop tool permanently active. I move rapidly through images using the Filmstrip, adjusting the crop where required before moving immediately to the next image.I use Lightroom's Secondary Display on a calibrated 27" monitor, which displays the current image full-screen. This means the large central image area in Develop on my MacBook is largely redundant, what I actually need on the primary display is the Develop controls and a much larger thumbnail Filmstrip.Currently the Filmstrip can only be dragged upwards to a fairly restrictive maximum height.It would be extremely useful if Lightroom allowed the Filmstrip to be resized much further, or offered a Develop workspace consisting primarily of a large thumbnail browser plus Develop controls when Secondary Display is active.As a real-world example, my normal workfl

I would like to request a shortcut key for the Object masking tool.   Long-time user here; I've recently found that the Object masking tool is wildly useful. Not only for selecting objects but also to mask tedious details. It's improved considerable over the years and is now intelligent and accurate! I often use it instead of the brush tool and having a shortcut key would really expedite my workflow!   Thank you for your consideration.

All too often Lightroom shows a message like this one: That is of course not helping. After so many years on the market the developers should please finally include information about what went wrong, and where. Such errors are shown frequently when I attempt to move a series of images to another directory. It is also common to see the very same operation succeeding short after, without any action undertaken. 

There is already a request that Compare View allow more than 2 images.There is already a request that Survey View could zoom to 100%Either of these would make it much easier to compare the sharpness of multiple similar images.Firstly lets increase the number of images you can compare at once. But I’d like to go further, let us have a dedicated comparing workspace/tab/zone, a digital viewing booth. Let us Zoom All windows like in photoshop.Let us have the option to pan All windows.In addition to Lock to Zoom add a Lock to Subject: Let us have a mode where the zoom + and - is based on image content rather than just %. For example you take a shot on your 24MP Camera and your 108MP phone, locking the percentage zoom is not so useful would be amazing to get AI to show the same bits of the image at the same size on screen as say the “most selected” image.Let us have Focus and AI culling information conveniently to hand.In this mode lets have some sort of ability to hide images in the film st

Wish is to have the ability to zoom into all images shown in Survey View to a specified zoom value, e.g. 100%. E.g. use Z as shortcut. Panning via Spacebar + Left Mouse would be essential in such a mode too.Reason: Survey view is useful for culling images quickly. However, as I often use a luck shot approach in sub-optimal lighting conditions I want to be able to quickly select a group of images in Library mode and set the zoom to 100% to find the one which is sharpest. Then I would mark this one for keeping and be done quickly with the rest. The Compare option kind of does that but only allows 2 images to be compared and that seems unnecessarily tedious when going through dozens of images.
