If a mask was started on an area that is now hidden by a crop, the mask marker is not visible anymore when entering mask mode (K). Modifying a hidden mask means modifying the current crop to get access to the mask marker and setting the crop again after modification.   Masks markers out of crop should either: - show on the outside edges of the picture area - be allowed to be moved in the crop area if the mask is also active here

An alternate display mode in the Color Grading tool would be appreciated. Instead of showing the color wheels, just display the hue/saturation/luminance sliders for shadows/midtones/highlights one below each other. Global could be in the same view or in another (like today).   Reason: I don't use the color wheels and they take screen real estate for nothing (for me) instead of giving me access to all three adjustements.   M1 MBA / macOS 12.2.1 / LR 11.2

Please add a way to search for a date by month (and day). For instance July 4 in EVERY year. Or all photos ever taken in June of any year.Right now I can search it only one year at a time. Thanks

Lightroom version 11.1 Organiser version 20.0 OS Windows10 Version 21H1 I'm trying to import a catalog from elements 2022 Organiser into Lightroom Classic. It doesn't recognise the catalog from version 2022. The file type is PSE20DB if you look at the drop down listing supported files it only goes up to pse19db. Any idea if or when it's going to be updated, please?

would be great if in masking you can add preset to either the background only or subject only ... for clothing photography using presets it changes the colours so would be great to be able to only use a preset on the background of an image and not affecting the model/clothing 

Lorsqu'on déselectionne "Epreuvage écran" en mode comparaison "avant/après", l'image "avant" est systématiquement changée pour l'image d'origine lorsqu'on on resélectionne "Epreuvage d'écran" et qu'on travaille par rapport à une copie virtuelle de l'image d'origine. On peut, bien sûr, rechanger pour la copie virtuelle, mais c'est "agaçant". Ne peut-on pas conserver l'image "avant" choisie tant qu'on a pas changer de photo ? Quand cela arrive-t-il ? Mes photos étant principalement destinées à la projection ou le Web, elles sont développées à 6500 K et 120/140 cd/m2. Lorsque je veux les tirer sur papier, je fais une copie virtuelle que je modifie sur mon écran cette fois-ci réglé à 5500 K et 90 cd/m2 et je réalise l'épreuvage écran par rapport à cette copie virtuelle. Je ne veux donc pas revenir systématiquement à l'image développée pour 6500 K, qui apparait alors bien jaune ... Merci pour vos commentaires et notamment ceux de l'équipe Adobe. Philippe

I'm trying to find an easier solution for creating a white border with a name plate in the border for a batch of web images.  Yes, I have read this https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/batch-processing-with-bordering-and-watermarking/m-p/10479648 I think being able to achieve this via the export panel would be a wonderful upgraded feature of LR.  Until then it looks like their is a third party plugin that does the job.  How difficult would this be to implement?  

I propose to have no sliders and employ a "hover over preview" system for settings. Hover over preview is, in my opinion, the best way to work.   HOW WOULD IT WORK Instead of having to click and drag a slider we would simply have hover over the area where now the sliders reside AND when hovering over the effect would be previewed in full screen (same behavior we already have for Develop Presets) Then if we want to commit the value we click.A small circle would then appears at that value position as reference and the numerical values appear on the side as usual.I made a mock-up UI where you can compare my idea vs the existing UI.   This system would be incredibly advantageous compared to sliders.Previewing is extremely advantageous and with the step-marks we would be able to get/jump to the value we want much faster and more clearly than now.Also  we would be able to have/set a value BUT at the same time preview a different one to see the difference.E.g.Set Hi

I suggest to have an Intensity settings for Masks and Components.   This Intensity Settings would allow to change the Intensity of the settings applied. Intensity would differ form the "Amount" slider we have now or Photoshop's "Opacity" slider in two significant ways.   At Mask level we would be able to change the Intensity going from the default 100% up to 200%, 300% etc...   E.g. So, suppose you have a setting (e.g Shadows) applied at +100 (Mask Intensity is at 100%)  but that is not quite enough to achieve the desired result. Solution: user would just increase the Intensity to 150%, 200% to reach the desired result.    The advantage of this is that one doesn't have to to duplicate the Mask.  Please read the bottom part for further info about Duplications.     At Component Level we would be able to change the Intensity going from 1-100% Intensity is mostly benefici

As discussed in this thread, depth maps from Google Pixel phones (at least 4a models) are not supported, and seem to increase the size of the catalog in an unexpected manner (over 1MB per picture). It would be nice to add support for Google Pixel depth maps and store them in a more efficient way.

I think to point to a HD when it has a different letter (quite common if you have your archive in dozens of HDs) would be a much more satisfactory solution that to update all the folders inside the disk. just point to the disk where the files are and let Lightroom find them. I know you can also change the drive letter in the windows disk management area but many times this is not feasible as the letter is already in use by another drive. So please add this feature that will make life much easier to all of us with many drives containing images 

Particularly when re-editing older images, I discover extraneous masks. Wishing to simplify things, I turn them all off.  Wouldn't it be nice to have a button: "delete all disabled masks" to do this all in one big swoop?  Could be "delete all" or "delete hidden" masks, I guess.

I have an idea / wish for Lightroom. (latest Classic Version for MacOS)I think that this is something that many people want or are looking for and it would be helpful to display the UUID number in Lightroom under metadata.Searching / filtering by UUID number would also be very handy.(Lightroom's internal unique identifier for the photo).It would be nice if this could also be included in the file name when exporting.With kind regards Peter

Hi. Does anyone know why the 11.1 Lightroom Classic version doesnot have the Polish language version in the language preferences?  

Background: When importing RAW files into Lightroom, some common photo settings are read from the RAW file to set the processing defaults in the Develop module... such as white balance or camera color profile.   Camera manufacturer RAW processors tend to leverage most/all in-camera settings to allow RAW processing so software JPEG conversions almost exactly mimic in-camera JPEG conversion.  Lightroom has only partial coverage of these in-camera settings.  As a result, RAW files imported into LR often look different than they did when shot in-camera.   What I'd like: I would like to see in-camera settings reflected as RAW processing defaults in the LR Develop module.  Ideally, if I shot RAW+JPEG, importing both files into Lightroom would have both files look identical, no matter what settings I set in camera.   Every manufacturer has different settings with different names, so as a couple examples of settings I often alter: In Fujifilm cameras, Highlight T

There is no description needed. Word does it, Firefox does it. Almost all software makes it easy to delete a whole word with this shortcut but lightroom doesn't.It's so much easier to work with tagging and keywords with this feature. It must be easy. So please!

  The majority of "Add Shortcuts" start with Alt. "Add tool of selected type" a.k.a. "Add last used tool" should as well start with Alt.   This will keep shortcuts consistent and won't confuse users.   This is a minor technical issue to me, it's not a "proper bug" but nonetheless it's not a good design choice.      

I'm trying to adapt my workflow to use Lightroom Classic (on PC/Windows 10) and am facing an issue I suspect others have already solved. As a commercial photographer I've been shooting digital for more than 25 years and have established a file management/backup system that works for me. Client's images are stored on dual (identical) external drives and a 3d copy of the images is stored safely offsite. Major clients get their own pair of drives because of the amount of data their work represents. All files are stored in folders named according to "YYYY-MM-DD_jobDescription".   When I disconnect a drive Lightroom wants to reconnect the same drive to work on the imported images but provides me with only a drive letter and not a drive name which is how I identify the various clients external drives. Is that correct? Is there a preference I'm missing?   If this is normal behaviour then I need a workaround solution before importing the mages. One option would be to create a folder

I'd like an addition choice besides fit and fill in the navigator panel.   When selected the option should show the image at full size (100%) or fit the window, whichever is smaller.   I often work in the develop module with the left panel closed so don't have quick access to the navigator.  I toggle between fit and whatever my current zoom level is by hitting the space bar.   This us usally what I want -- except when I'm working with lower resolution images on a 5K monitor.  In that case the fit option expands the image beyond the 100% zoom level and I wonder why the image is so fuzzy until I realize what is going on.  I can use the keyboard shortcut to see a 100% view -- but then I lose whatever zoom level I was working in.   An option that tells fit to not expand images would be a suitable alternative.

When applying Post Crop Vignette via the Effects Panel the Vignetting Amount could/should be expressed in stops.   E.g. Post Crop Vignette Amount -/+ 1.5   The photographic language of "Stops" is, in my mind, better for Vignetting than -/+ 0-100     P.S. It's a little thing. I just wanted to propose it, share it, even if perhaps it will never be considered nor implemented.

I would like to have the ability to show items in the Library as a list, rather like one might see in a spreadsheet program. Very small thumbnail alongside columns of data. The columns could be customized in order or content. This would allow for another method of sorting by various data. Oh, and make this list view printable while youre at it 😉

Please Dear Adobe, get a flickr comment download disable switch in the flickr plugin. The last thig i want is idiotic comments downloaded every time i hit publish my photos. Working as a professional, this is just not the way i'm expecting a desktop application to work. This is not helping me, rather then pisses me off. Developing a switch on/off plugin for a developer, is one minute. Thanks.  

I am using Windows 10 and Lightroom Classic 10.4 for batch processing. I really would like to see a software change to batch resizing to megapixels smaller than 1,0 megapixels.   Steps: Open LrC Select a lot of images Click button Export... In the dialogbox scroll down to Image Sizing Choose Resize to Fit: Megapixels Enter 0,5 in the inputbox before megapixels You will see an error message stating that the number entered must be between 1,0 and 512,0   I would like to enter a number as low as 0,1 megapixels. But 0,5 should be enough. With images having different aspect ratios it is very time consuming to group them by aspect ratio and then resize in groups to a certain long edge.  

For the Brush tool we should be able to change Size, Feather, Flow and Density with simple gestures. I suggest the following :• Hold Ctlr + scrub left or right = increase/decrease Size.• Hold Ctrl + scrub up or down = increase/decrease Flow• Hold Alt + scrub left or right = increase/decrease Feather.• Hold Alt + scrugb up or down = increase/decrease Density.Switching to Erase Brush should happen by clickig on the Option. Brush Size should change by fine steps of 0.1Flow, Feather, Density should change by steps of 1 as they do now.  

Right now the keywords only apply to the whole batch. It'd be great to have the ability to add keywords during import, like how you can keyword in the catalog, image by image. I have a walk around camera that I only import every month or so, and so the images will end up having multiple locations/subjects, so it'd be great to be able to do some quick tagging in the import process, since I don't always have time to do it once it's sitting in the Previous Import collection before importing from another card.
