Feature Requests

I totally understand that this is a HUGE request.  It appears to me that: (all of these are simply emperically assumed and I could be totally wrong)   Lightroom Classic is mostly a very intellegent front end to Adobe Camera Raw's abilities Smart Objects within Photoshop and perhaps other Adobe apps are more or less ACR's abilities packaged into an object   I'd like to see Adobe Cine Raw which would essentially package Premiere Pro's Lumetri concepts along with the new "Canon Cinema Raw Light Source Settings" and there are probably other similar manufacturer specific panels that would be nice to include.  Adobe Cine Raw would be for color correction and possibly color grading -- but that's it.  Similar to ACR's original deployment before addings masks and other great features.  I think the Adobe Cine Raw concept could be leveraged everywhere like Premiere Pro, After Effects, etc much like ACR is leverage everywhere.   Then introduce Adobe Cine Raw to

We use artificial intelligence to recognize people, but what if we used it to simply rotate images to the correct orientation?  I have decades of images shot on cameras that didn't automatically orient the images and find myself manually rotating thousands of photos.  It would be very useful to have a tool that could analyze the image content and present a batch of selected images with a suggested change of orientation.  I would then be able to simply confirm the suggestions, either one at a time, or in large batches.

Lightroom should catalog psb files, just as it does psd files. I have many psb files that are not over the 65,000 pixels per side or 512 megapixel limits, but are larger than the 4GB limit on psd files, and it would be nice to see them in Lightroom.

On UltraWide screen (and on regular 16:9 if you mostly shot vertical frame) Its lots of horizontal free space and lack of vertical.  Please do option for toolbars can be two (and maybe three) columns for more toolbars can be aviable without scroling.    I also suggest that you think about optimizing the vertical space - now a lot of space is wasted on empty fields - somewhere at the edge there is a short text block (like windows title. top menu etc) and the rest of the screen this field just waste space.  Even on 16:9 you have much more horizontal space then vertical. On 21:9 its much more.   Fullscreen mode is better to save vertical space and it is good for laptops, but on a big screen monitor, especially 21:9, this mode can not shrink the window and gets a big empty space in the middle of the screen, especially if the picture being processed is vertically oriented. It takes a lot of widespread mouse movements (and it's especially annoying on a tablet) j

Incorporate astrophotographic file type 'decoders' into Photoshop and Lightroom.   With all the attention around JWST images it becomes glaringly obvious that Adobe has missed a trick here. Accessing and downloading the 'RAW' file data from Hubble and JWST is a labyrinthian feat in and of itself, so to find out that Adobe has no way of incorporating the file types into it's workflow is super frustrating.   Freely available software can do the conversion to TIFF format but there is, obviosly, a steep learning curve with new software. It would be fantastic if Adobe could create a develop module using familiar Photoshop and/or Lightroom sliders to facilitate the same task.

idea: it is a confusing user interface (since LR started to exist) and needs a lot of concentration to decide, how and when you have to lock/unlock, wether you keep proportions, or manually change the ratio.   Observation: One of my workflows (photo documentaries) is to use crop in fixed option (original ratio) most of the time. Some pictures in the postproduction need an unfixed ratio (panoramic, 1:1, etc.), which needs to unlock crop tool. But you have to be very concentrated and aware during workflow, WHEN to unlock, exactly, as all following steps depend on THIS decision and do need a lot of further concentration. A general change between un-/lock for all next steps/images is not possible, unless you select the un-/lock BEFORE first touch of the crop frame.    Every later changes of un-/lock just happen for the picture in process, but do a reset at the following image in the sequence.   Why not integrate a „forced“ manually change of lock/unlock at any step you

Why is there not either a tab or at least an entry under the HELP menu to the new discover capability? Having it there will act as a reminder that it exists and encourage its use. Seems like a really outstanding feature to have provided the user community!

is it possible to suggest the keywords from face detection ? and also once the face is tagged can it be writted to keywords , so each to search.

Unfortunately, halos often occur with very high-contrast images and edges. Often they are very disturbing and it would be nice to make them disappear by "magic". Manual editing with Photoshop takes quite a long time, depending on the motif.Since the ML or AI supported object recognition works relatively well, it should be possible to finally do something against these stupid halos. Therefore my suggestion: AI/ML based anti-halo slider that can be applied as a mask to the image.

I'm looking for help with importing location information from the maps module in Lighroom into the keywords suggestions - is there a way to do this automatically - for example a Picture taken in Rome Italy will automatically tagged (keyworded) with Europe/Italy/Rome  - The Location is already conveniently displayed in the Maps module - i assume that the cameras GPS feature has been switched on while shooting the Pictures.  Making other Metadata available like the camera used would be nice to have    Having the location automatically available as a keyword (suggestion) would save time and tedious work - up to now this  this step seems to be  needed  carried out  manually - for me it matters as would like to include the location for text based search for stock photography   best regards Stefan

Dear Adobe Community: I have used Adobe Lightroom since the very beginning. And over the years I have seen this program grow by leaps and bounds.  However the one improvement I would like for it to do is incorporate the use of QR codes to organize data into the catalog for volume photography. Schools, corporate head shots, large groups, etc. I truly think if Lightroom Classic had this ability it would take it to the very next level in terms of speed of organizing and naming of  files. I have seen work arounds for this task, but either a build-in or a True Adobe Plug-in that is sound with ease of use would be major. Just the fact printing a QR code of a data list or spread sheet with info already stored, and giving them to people to display in front of them upon taking a photo would be massive game changing and truly would take Lightroom and Lightroom Classic to MARS in terms of organizing photos. I know this sounds like a dream, but this is Adobe we are talking about where dr

After Synchronizing a LR catalog, LR should return the user to the same Session/Catalog. Currently LR deselects the active catalog and the user must re-navigate to the working catalog.   This will speed up the workflow. I usually have dozens of sessions, each with 3-5 sub-folders, within the catalog so scrolling through them to get back to the working session is a tedious time consuming process.Upvote if want LR to be more user friendly and faster to use.

After round-tripping from LR to Photoshop and back to LR, there is a warning icon in the top right of all the edited images in the LR folder. Sometime re-synchronizing the folder in LR makes the adds the edits in LR and the warning goes away - but 90% of the time that doesn't work.    Today l learned 2 workarounds:1, in LR, select all the images > click the warning > choose import the edits  - this does not always workWorkaround 22, in LR, select all the images > right click an image > click Metadata > click Read Metadata From FileWe need a reliable, stable and better way to synchronize the edits. I suggest that within the warning there is an option to read metadata edits made outside LR and apply to all images in the folder - AND HAVE IT WORK RELIABLY.

Hi there!In the awesome Lr Classic I often use the Auto Settings feature. Great starting point for further edits or one-click solution to get perfect result. But sometimes are the new settings simply too strong and I would like to  slide the settings back, lets say 60%.    Instead of pulling all the 10 top-most sliders half-way to the left (and of course I move them approximately, because multiplying all the 10 numbers by 0.6 would take ages), it would be great to have one General Slider to controll all the main sliders back to zero.   So if you set Exposure to +1, Contrast to +50 and Highlihgts to -10, the General Slider would be 100. By sliding General Slider to 50, you would set Exposure to +0.5, Contrast to +25 and Highlights to -5.   Or simply, like a virtual layer on the top, just one slider for everything (not just for Basic sliders): Blend with Original 0 — 100.

I have a photo collection, and i document it. No matter how much attention i pay to keeping things exact, they are always out a little. Could adobe create an alignment tool that only pays attention to the rectangle of the prints so that it creates a rectangle rather than a four-sided thing. Atm it adjusts for the subject of the print rather then the outside.    i doubt I'm the only one who this happens too... it's like correcting building but for prints. 

Cameras that directly create raw files in DNG format often write uncompressed data (DJI, Leica, probably others too). These files are quite big (12mp DJI file = ~25MB; 40mp Leica file = 85MB) and can be compressed very successfully with Lightroom Classic (lossless compression typically squeezes 30-50% out of the files).   On Import, even when selecting "Copy as DNG", Lightroom Classic does not compress the files though, and copies them in their uncompressed form. It would be great if Lightroom Classic would compress camera-DNG files automatically when "Copy as DNG" is selected as the import operation.   This would improve the workflow because the separate step to compress the freshly imported files would be removed. The compressed files would result in reduced backup times directly (especially continuous online backup), and lower storage space requirements.   Thanks!

It would be helpful to be able to mark unrecognized faces so they don't keep showing up in list of faces that have not been identified.

I have a new PC with an Intel i7 processor with a integrated UHD Graphics 770.  Intel provides a free downloadable "Intel Extreme Tuning Utility".  It has powerful tuning tools way beyond my capabilities.  It has an "App-Profile Pairing" tool that allows one to link a particular tuning profile to an app.  I'm not particularly in need of extra performance but I'd like to the boost the performance of the GPU if possible, to speed up "Super Resolution".  I don't want to have to buy a separate GPU card. It would be nice if Adobe could come up with an appropriate tuning profile that might give Intel users a very useful boost... for free.  I realise this is a tall order that would have to be tailored for every processor/RAM combination but there may be something simple that would work with most new systems at least.  

Stacking; Currently, Lightrooms Auto-Stacking by Capture Time stacks the files in chronological order.  I create stacks based on multiple edits and it would be nice to have an option to select the stacked file order.  example:  stack by newest to oldest, stack by file name.  I typically would prefer to see my most recent edited file on top of the stack.  This would allow me to view the most recently edited/best file when in the "collapse all stack" view.  Now I have to manually move the stacked file to make that happen and if/when I accidentally unstack an entire folder it is extremely time-consuming to go back and restack thousands of files in the preferred stack order.

I really love Lightroom Classic for so many of its strengths. It already has superior image organization to many applications with starring, keywording, and color labeling. But there is something missing -- a way to separate photos into groups in the library module.   Put simply, I want to be able to take a block of images and move it into a new row, like separating one paragraph into two. This could be as simple as adding a spacer button which, after the selected photo, moves all subsequent ones into the next row with a space between. Or it could be sophisticated, so that you can label entire groups with large headers, or create different configurations by dragging groups above, below, and next to each other. Maybe there could be multiple layers allowed too.   If something like this were to be added, my workflow would be immensely expedited as I often have trouble managing photos in a collection when I want them all in front of me, but in distinct subcategories. I especially

Would it be possible to add an "Exposure Selector Tool" picker that would be similar to the "White Balance Selector" tool?  It would be cool to have that to be able to quickly see how the image changes based on what it hovers over in the Navigator preview box.  Thank you!   LrC v. 11.4 Windows 10

I read the thread:   mobius trip, “Virtual Copy Not Visible in Collection,” Oct 25, 2018, (https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/virtual-copy-not-visible-in-collection/m-p/10194165#M128839).   I see that others are working differently than I am.   I wish Lightroom supported a workflow that allowed me to simply populate Collections with virtual copies. I do not want virtual copies in my original folder. I do not want non-virtual copies in a Collection. I want to set a Collection as the target folder and every time I hit “B” have a virtual copy created in the Collection. Additional virtual copies can link to the original or to a virtual copy, those are two different workflows.

Working on a project where there are 8000+ images of a project taken over 5 days of the same 140 people. So it is a good testing ground for face detection.   One thing that is noticable is that face detection is performed on a per image basis and does not seem to leverage the fact that several sequential images taken with say 5-10s are actually related - there is a "temporal" relationship between the images. The observations in 11.4 are 1) the face detected between each image can be quite different, 2) even when you label one of the images with the correct face, there is no process that is intelligently updating sequential images.    The consequence is that you end up having to label each successive image, which means the process can become inefficient. You've fixed one image, so you would expect that the next 5 images that have high corelation are going source the same data.   If you have an image with several people where you have already confirmed a face, there a

It would be great if customers could filter only to show selected images in their proofing collection.    I am referring to when you sync a collection with lightroom and then on lightroom.adobe.com you share the proofing link. As it stands right now a person with the link to the proofing collection can make selections in the collection but is limited to a gallery view with all images and can not filter to only show selected images so they can fine-tune the selections.
