Hello,   I just found an issue on the latest LR version: if you select all parameters except the reframing when synching parameters to a virtual copy which is differently reframed, the brush is not copying to the right place 🙂   Didier

If you are working with an unfamiliar group of faces, you need a reference document to refer to when LRC doesn't match (e.g. a profile).   If you have made the effort to label each person in a project, the only way that you can see the Named People is in the main screen.   To assist the workflow you want to be able to iterate through each photo on the main screen and with the face mode enabled be able to draw out a rectangle, then look up the possibilities. If it is a profile, LRC won't have picked the face, so you have to manually choose this. If you don't know who the people are, but have had some of the photos labelled, you want to be able to see the labelled faces - the text pop up doesn't cut it.   In a two monitor configuration, having a grid of named faces on the second monitor would speed things up.   It is super cumbersome right now to draw the square then go back to Faces, look up a face and then return to fill in the text pop up menu.   There are som

The ability to build a ready-to-post gallery for blogs (like Narrative Publish) would be a gamechanger! But the layout templates on the Web tab aren't quite customizable enough yet.

Many professional photographer uses Capture One for tethering instead of the Lightroom Classic because of the ways better workflow and the ways more options they has on the program.    What we need is: - "JPG Only" mode while shooting raw + jpg - Show the newest picture automaticly - iPad Pro M1 support  - Stabile system without camera disconnectings  - Tethering to one file instead of collecting 2-300 photos to a folder. - Export option to the photoshop (starting with the camera raw window)    

The projects that I shoot are quite "site specific". Face detection can provide fairly accurate detection that can help find an image. I will shoot a particular site several times a year. The faces in one site will not appear at a another.    The way that unknown faces are classified automatically shows that the pool of faces is all faces that have ever been recognised by Lightroom.   This doesn't match the workflow. For a given site, there is a closed subset of faces that it could be. Drawing from the universe of all faces doesn't make any sense.   So the suggestion is having user defined face collections where I can specify which group of faces should associated with a given folder. This means that a group of faces can be associated with several folders.   I also know if I'm working on a new project with faces that I've never photographed before. It would be useful to be able to flag this so names aren't associated automatically and incorrectly. You end up co

The SDK provides no way for a plugin to flip a photo horizontally or vertically. There is photo:rotateRight() and photo:rotateLeft() but no analogous methods for flipping.   My Any Crop plugin would use this to provide a command to restore a photo to its original orientation.  It has a command for doing that with rotation but not flipping.   My Copy Settings plugin's Extract Masks command would use this to extract the masks of flipped photos.  

It would save me a ton of hassle in my work flow to be able to access the Sort Order menu from within the Develop module.

Please allow browser autofil when prompting for password when logging into desktop apps. So annyojng having to type userid and password this day and age. 

The sort function is quite limited for the albums/folders organization section (date added/alphabetical) It would great if we could have the option to drag albums to the top  that we are working on (or in any order) without having to rename the folders each time.

HI,I was wondering if there is a way to sync only one color in HSL to the rest of my images? Thanks you

On the primary display, right clicking on screen or pressing 'Z' will toogle between last two screen sizes, for example FIT and 100%.  On secondary display, you get the same action by right clicking on screen, but I cannot find any keyboard shortcut.   My idea (request) is to provide a toogle kb shortcut similar to the 'Z' for the primary display.  An alternative would be to have 'Carl+alt+shift+0' (100%) toggle between 100% and what 'fit/fill' is set at.    

Lightroom CC really needs to separate pure whites and pure blacks from highlight and shadows for colour grading. The colour keeps bleeding into the blacks and Whites. A slider that will control how far into the highlights or shadows you get into. Like a 'luminance range' if you will. That could actually help the mid tone range as well. This is quite basic actually. I actually miss the split toning. It was way cleaner. It was an older idea but it was better executed. This is just what I think. Not a pro. But I probably enjoy editing more than taking photos. Lightroom is probably my favourite app period. A legit fan. If any of the developers happen to see this please look into it. If any of what I am saying makes sense and I am not missing out on anything.    Insta: @Triplegrade

Hi Adobe   Lightroom is great, tethering with my Canon 5DS works very well, but that pesky tethering dialog/control bar keeps popping up in the middle of my screen when I start up a new thered session. I have to move it to a sensible place - and there are not many sensible place for it that don't get in the way of something   Could there be an option to have the tethering control panel appear in the right-hand panel, above Histogram, Quick Develop, etc? It could have a collapse flippy triangle the same way as the other panels on the right.    Would be more consistent with the rest of the interface I reckon.   Regards, Colin Thomas    

Adobe, Please, please, give us a library function to delete sidecar jpegs.  I didn't know any better at the time! But I've learned from my mistake, and now it's too late. There was one way in, but no way back. Please don't punish me for the rest of my life. Give us an easy one click menu to get rid of those jpegs. I'm too scared to mess with my catalog. Thank you.

The new AI filters are very useful but packing away all of the filters into another menu has increased the amount of mouse inputs needed to the workflow of anyone using filters. It feels very slow and clunky.   Please add the ability to customize which tools are visible and have a drop down on the far right to access any others. In this case there is room for 6-7 icons but Lightroom 11 only utilizes 4.   If this were implemented it would save those that use filters a ton of time, extra mouse clicks and unecessary mouse movements. I would love to have select sky, select subject, gradiant filter, and radial filter available quickly alongside crop and spot removal. All with one click and in the order that the user can choose. I would love the ability to hide red-eye correction and use that slot on a tool that I actually use.   Thank you!

Please include a shortcut key for Select Subject when adding new mask. (similar to shortcut K for brush).

Since I organize my photos by date, each day having its own folder, I now have around 4000 folders in my main LR catalog.  This means that my "Folder" list on the left side of the screen is very long and quite cumbersome to navigate via mouse / trackpad scrolling.   Assume that you have a folder selected.  It would make it much easier to quickly move through a long list of folders if I had keyboard shortcuts to do the following operations: Go to Next folder  (e.g. Command - Control - Up arrow) Go go Previous folder (e.g. Command - Control - Down arrow) Page up through folder list (e.g. Command - Control - Page up) Page down through folder list (e.g. Command - Control - Page down) Top of folder list (e.g. Command - Control - Shift - Up arrow) Bottom of folder list (e.g. Command - Control - Shift - Down arrow)   Some "nice to have" features: Jump to folder (opens a dialog and you can type in the name of the folder you want.  

As I work on many project and create as many collection I do have to edit a lot of picture from specific collection but to make sure I'm editing the right pix I have to leave the collection and scroll up all the way to all photographs. Why couldn't we get a keyboard touch that permit to go directly to all photographs? And by the way if possible the same touch activated again to return to the collection you were.

The only problem I find in Panorama stiching is the inability to tell the programm what has to be included in a multiple stich panorama. Would be greate if we could have the possibility to apply manual brush or Ai mask on the subject- object that must be included in the final panorama. After it renders it also to have a possibility to brush away the part we don't want and let emerge what is beneth. Excactly how we do in PS wit layer. Some times It automaticly delete people from the panorama becuase it automaticly or by rotation panorama you have the same person twice. would be nice to have such feature.

The Ai mask work very well. but some times it choose the wrong subject or leave some other subject not selectet. It would be great that we could use a special brusch to highlight that areas that should be included in the mask and then have the uption to update the subject mask and the pc recalculate the mask. It would be easier for the AI if we say where to look and the workflow tidyer because we would have to ad so many brush strokes.

The white balance tool in Adobe LR and PS is working well when applied on the roads paved with asphalt or concrete. A nice reference in gray works well to correct colors, bleaching in slides and negatives. However, in e.g. Africa, the gray areas are often missing. Roads are redish, or sandy, without gray scales. Scanning slides goes best using Braun multimag machines, but the silverfast software that is perfect to correct for bleaching of slides and negatives does not work any more after the scan has been stored in Adobe software like LR. Adobe might learn from this by not using white balance correction or in PS white, black and mid correction. Both the roads in less developed countries, and the people in those areas are not gray and white respectively. Meaning that the white balance tool in Adobe makes it difficulult to correct properly, althouh the tool is perfect in western countries. Contacting competition like the Silverfast creators linked to Braun might improve that in Adobe.

Dear Adobe-LR-Team,   I really love LR for many years now, but keyword management is still a horror and applicable for professional use. Why aren't synonyms exported to the xmp file? Why can't I search for synonyms in the keywording sidebar? Why can't I search for "words in the middle" in the keywording sidebar? E.g. keyword "Test Case". I need to enter "Test" to get suggestions. But I also want to enter "Case" to get the suggestions. SDK: why isn't there a direct function to get a dedicated keyword? Every time it is necessary to parse the entire keyword object path to find just a single keyword by its value.  How about a REST-API to access the catalog of LR? Lua might be a nice programming language, but is not flexible and easy/fast to use. A REST-API could solve all issues!   In general, please take a look to otehr software, e.g. Photo Mechanic, which provides a much more professional keyword handling. Please Adobe, do someething here!

Hello Community, Following my recent post in the related thread here, I'm creating this new one dedicated to the issue "Case insensitive search with diacritic in uppercase letters". Actually I've noticed that the case insensitive search in LRC (latest 11.0.1) still doesn't work when there is an accent on the uppercase letter. I mean "église" doesn't return "Église" (and possibly vice-versa) where it should be expected since the Lightroom search is not case sensitive. Thanks, Denis

I would like to set the cell size, then check a box that says Protect Cell Size so I can move margins but have them stop from encroaching on the cell size.  I have to keep going back and forth, an finessing between Margins and Cell Size.  Hard to believe that Lightroom is around 15 years old and this is still annoying.     Gridlines like in Photoshop for laying our greeting cards would be nice too.   Thanks,   Reid  

Lightroom is my library software of choice. And while it can't edit videos in any meaningful way, it can preview them and play them back, and most imporantly provide library functionality in a way that makes it a truly useful tool for hybrid shooters.   Many shooters, like myself, are shooting in log formats with 10 bit 4:2:2 HEVC codecs. These play back using the CPU even when hardware decoding is available on 10th+ gen Intel QuickSync processors on Windows. This causes dropped frames, kills battery life, and generates a lot of heat. Using QuickSync inside of Davinci Resolve these files play back effortlessly.   I believe this is also the behavior on M1 Macs, but I have yet to be able to try that.   It'd be great if these were supported better, and generally it would be great to support video as a first class member in the library as it's very useful.   Thanks.
