In the next version of Lightroom could they implement a better spellcheck? The spellcheck currently in Lightroom3 does not work as well as spellcheck seen in Photo Mechanic or the basic spellcheck used on a Mac.Also could they make the caption box larger or the ability to increase the size. The current caption box is to small and makes it hard to see what is being typed?In a nut shell could they make the next Lightroom more like Photo Mechanic in terms of captioning and adding metadata ?

I sometimes import a couple of thousand images taken over several days at a time in Lightroom Classic.  I then use the "Previous Import" selection to go through, cull, add keywords and coordinates to my photos.  I would like to be able to use “Smart Collections” to check for images without keywords, GPS coordinates, etc. but was surprised to discover you cannot use “Previous Import” as a condition in "Smart Collections." “Previous Import” appears to live under “Catalog” so it would be nice to see it added as a source in “Smart Collections.”  If that is not possible, then perhaps import date could be added to the “Date” selection.   Thanks

In Library Loupe view, with multiple photos selected and Auto Sync disabled, the Metadata panel lies to the user by highlighting Selected Photos and displaying a tooltip saying "Show metadata for all selected photos". But the metadata for just the most-selected photo is displayed, and any changes will be made just to that photo:  The selection behavior in Loupe has always been confusing, and this user-interface lie makes it even more so, e.g. see:https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-changes-to-metadata-panel-for-targeting-one-or-many-images/m-p/12526838/page/2#M252513  The product team says this behavior is "as-designed", which implies there is a design rationale -- what could it be? The correct behavior is for Loupe to behave just as when one photo is selected in Grid view: Both Target Photo and Selected Photos are grayed out, and the metadata for the most-selected photo is displayed. When Auto Sync is enabled, the current behavi

yet another update to LRC was posted without a trace of release notes.   Rick Flohr's post "Lightroom Classic 11.0.1 is released" simply states "An update for Lightroom Classic (11.0.1) was released on 11.15.2021 and contains several bug fixes." That is nice to know, but I already figured that though the notification in CC Desktop. What I am really interested in, is knowing what bugs have been fixed - aka RELEASE NOTES.   Back in April, I wrote a post on the now defunct uservoice forum:   "Publish release notes for every update available: today another round of updates hit PS and Bridge - without any release notes at all. Just mentioning "bug fixes etc." is not helping any of us in knowing what has been changed in the available release.Sometimes (usually days after the update itself), some sort of RN appear on the Adobe support website but it is usually so well buried that only a Google search provides the link.Please make real release notes available with the updates

lightroom classic 11.0.1, windows 10   I am in need of a way to filter/view photos that only exist mutually between two or more collections. To better describe this idea, I will give an example   I photograph for a hockey team, and need to sort the photos into collections by game, and player number. If I wanted, for example, to view photos of player 25 on the 7th game of the season, there should be a way of selecting a collection view mode (such as 'mutual', or 'shared between'), and then selecting the individual collections.   Being able to select multiple collections already exists, but it only shows you the combined photos. There needs to be a way of changing between seeing the sum of the selected collections, and the intersection. A great spot in the GUI for this would be on the black bar above the filmstrip. To the right of the collection dropdown, there could be another dropdown to select combined viewing mode, where there would be the two methods I just discussed.

I love the new masking in Lightroom Classic but I'd like to see an improvement in the subject selection for birds (particularly the feathers). The subject selection will select the bird but also select the areas between the splayed feathers on the wings. Can this be corrected to select only the bird?   My configuration: Windows 10 Home, Lightroom Classic CC 11.0.1, Alienware Area-51m R2,Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700K CPU @ 3.80GHz, 3792 Mhz, 8 Core(s), 16 Logical Processor(s), Installed Memory (RAM)64.0 GB,NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super (8GB), Nvidia Studio Driver 472.47 (November 2021)

MacOS 12.0.1 Apple Silicon M1 Lightroom Classic version: 11.0 [ 202110120910-0bccc70d ]Language setting: en-JP Bridge 12.0.0.234   HelloI use Adobe Bridge to add keywords and explanations to my photos.I'm importing it into Adobe Lightroom Classic.I'm arranging the keywords in order of priorityIf you import it into Lightroom and then output the fileThe order of the keywords is different from what you want.I think the order is "will Export".Please let me know if there is a way to change the order setting of this "Will Export".Or, from Lightroom, keep the order of the keywords arranged in Adobe Bridge.Please let me know if there is a way to output it.   こんにちは わたしは、Adobe Bridgeにて写真にキーワードと説明をつけています。 それをAdobe Lightroom Classicにインポートしています。 わたしは優先度の高い順番にキーワードを並べていますが Lightroomにインポートしてから、ファイルを出力すると キーワードの並び順が希望するものと異なっています。 ”will Export”という並び順になっていると思います。 この"Will Export"の並び順の設定を変更する方法があれば教えてください。 もしくは、Adobe Bridgeにて並べたキーワードの順のままにLightroomから 出力する方法があれば教えてください。      

Search does not always find all terms used in Lightroom. I tried to search for Albums (referred to in Adobe Stock as an easy way to upload images from Lightroom) and no useful results were returned. The problem seems to be interchangeability of terms under some circumstances - Albums for Collection as well as Publish for Upload as examples. The search engine should be able to find all terms used by Adobe programmes.

[This post contains formatting and embedded images that don't appear in email. View the post in your Web browser.]   When the user tries to save a metadata import preset with blank fields checked, LR should issue a warning:   ------------------------------ Warning: You've checked the following fields but left them blank: User Comment, GPS, Altitude (and 5 more fields). This will clear those fields on photos imported with this preset. Is that what you want?   [] Don't show again                        Cancel   Confirm ------------------------------   Rationale:   A frequently asked question in LR forums: Why isn't LR importing GPS coordinates or (less frequently) some other metadata field?   Invariably, the user is applying a metadata import preset in which GPS or another field is blank but checked. LR does try to inform the user that this will clear the blank, checked fields:   But

I just found out that somewhere along the line, executing a CTRL-S or CMD-S no longer works with DNG files.  Instead, I need to head up to the menu and select: Metadata > Update DNG Previews and Metadata   I gather this is NOT the case for other file extensions.   While I don't like this, I am sure there is a reason, but Adobe NEEDS to provide a shortcut to do this for the many of us who are keystrokers and used to shortcuts ...   Maybe an ALT/OPTION-S or some such.   Please, this is critical for many of us.

I would like to see an option that lets the user decide a certain behavior in LR develop module.   I start my editing in LR, then go to PS for additional work.  While the PSD is saving, I typically jump back to LR and begin to select next image(s) to work on.  Often I'll have a few selects up in survey mode then POOF all of a sudden, LR deselects the image(s) I had been reviewing and selects the newly saved PSD file that got imported from PS.   I'd like to be able to tell LR not to do this when the newly imported PSD file was automatically imported into LR from PS (as opposed to manually imported from card or other source).   Thank you.

Much as the masking tools have now been grouped, is it possible to include 'crop' with the transform tools? It is a real pain to have to switch between the two when you want to correct perpendiculars and then crop the result (auto limit isn't ideal most of the time).   Also, if you have crop open and want to transfom, you don't get the guide lines. Really, really frustrating!

Issue:   After upgrading Lightroom Classic to version 11.0 where the new masking features have been introduced, and you try editing an existing local adjustment (Brush or Gradient filter) that had a Luminance Range added to it, LR asks you to update the Luminance Range Tool to its new version.   After updating the tool, the adjustment changes dramatically and it looks nothing like it used to (it affects different areas compared to your original one). This means that you have to reconfigure your entire adjustment from scratch (Luminance Range wise).    This is an example of an adjustment before the update:     And this is what happens when you hit "Update":     Personally, i have hundreds of images that i used the Luminance Range feature on. This means that whenever I would like to adjust my previous edits (which happens very often), i would have to re-adjust every single edit from the begining - which translates into a significant amount o

When displaying pictures in the Library module Loupe view, there is always a noticeable (2-3 sec) time lag to display a picture in full detail. E.g., at 100% magnification, either by zooming in from "Fit", or when displaying next picture while at 100% magnification, the picture is initially fuzzy and refreshes to sharp detail in about 3 seconds.   Since I always generate 1:1 previews on import, I believe this delay is because edits that I've made in the Develop module have invalidated the previous previews. Typically I will have viewed the picture at 100% magnification in Develop, so a full-size image has been generated by Lightroom.   IDEA:  when changes in the Develop module invalidate the preview, save subsequent views generated in the Develop module as previews. E.g., if the image is displayed at 100% in Develop, save that as the 1:1 preview. This would avoid the several-second delay to generate the 1:1 preview in Loupe view.  

If you do not save metadata to xmp, and you try a Open as Smart Object in Photoshop, Snapshots are not available.   Request for Change   Add a popup warning stating metadata is not being saved to xmp, snapshots will not be available.   this comes due to: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-snapshots-not-available-in-exported-smart-object/td-p/12480072

There should be a keyboard shortcut that opens the mask panel with the top most mask already selected. As it stands, Shift+M opens the radial gradient mask window with a new mask. But when I'm copy and pasting settings from image to image, the radial gradient has already been created and pasted to the new photo. So I just need to open to the mask window and preferrably already have the topmost layer selected so I can immediately move the radial gradient around to where the subject is in the new photo. Instead, I have to press option+arrows buttos to navigate to the layer. Even clicking on the Mask tool button doesn't open the panel with a layer preselected. Why not have a shortcut just to open it with the top most layer already selected? It will save clicks when making small adjustments to masks that are being copy and pasted from one photo to the other.

Hello,   Finally the new masking tools solve all previous problems , synchronisation between virtual copies cropped or not is perfect, even the clone tool has been corrected.  The ability to substract from a gradual filter and to finetune this substraction is amazing. Bravo !!!!!!   Now I am a bit surprised that they din't think about a shortcut to toggle between activation and desactivation of a mask, it is such a pain to leave the effect ajustment pannel in order to reach the toggle icon next to a mask to activate or desactive it. It is such helpful to be able to toggle on/off a modification to finetune it. Before V11 I just reset the effect by double clicking on the text "effet", then a ctr-Z bring me back and allow me to toggle. Now the mask color incrustation always appear (BUG) after after the double clik on "effet", so it doesn't work anymore. A shortcut is high needed.   Didier  

Method:   1. Create a new Blurb book with the default size, Standard Landscapes2. Pick a page, and add a new cell to it. Photo cell or description cell does not matter.3. Change the book size, say to Large Landscape4. You get a message "Your pages will be migrated to the new size, but positioning and layout will change. Some existing content may not fit and will be removed."5. The cell you added will be deleted.   Result: You lose your work.   Expected: Keep all the cells, scaled to fit the new page.   Workaround: None. You lose your work.   Note: The current resize algorithm is complex and wrong. It seems to remember the original page layout and revert to it. Nobody wants that. It is a bug. The correct behavior is simple. I assume that each page is represented by a data structure that is a collection of cells, and that each cell has coordinates. If the coordinates are zero-based to a corner, then after resizing the new coordinates should just be multiplied by

Hi Dear Adobe Team, Can You Please Add in update to be able to organize Presets Like we have in Develop Module, where you can drag and move around and make it to your style, so to where you can make presets the same way instead of being In Alphabetical Order. Let's say someone uses certain presets the most so they can move those to top, but the rest still be in Alphabetical order.  thanks.

In Lightroom 11.0, to delete a layer mask, you have to click on the . . . icon and then select delete. However there is plenty of room right next to the . . . and the disable mask button for a trashcan icon. That way you wouldn't need to click into the . . . menu. You could just click on the trashcan icon, which would save you additional clicking and searching for the correct delete option in the . . . menu.

I'd love to have the option to add my graphical identity plate to PREFERENCES so that it will be displayed automatically with each new catalog that is created.  Thank you.

Google Pixel phones sometimes produce files with an .MP.JPG extension. These have an embedded mp4 in them: https://medium.com/android-news/working-with-motion-photos-da0aa49b50c (Earlier versions of the Pixel named them MVIMG)   I can use third party tools to remove the mp4 and then edit it. But this post is not about the technology, but about the business issue for Adobe.   A Pixel user can edit the moving photos on her Pixel phone, or for all I know, in Google Photos. But she cannot see or edit them in Lightroom. This seems like an obvious ploy from Google to move Adobe users from the PS/LR ecosystem to the Google ecosystem.   I would think that Adobe might be worried about that.   How might Lightroom display a jpeg with an embedded mpeg? I think it should show each frame of the mpeg as stacked photos. It would also be nice to export frames and then delete the mpeg, which is very large.   If it's any encouragement, I hate exporting frames using the Pixel

Working in LrC v11, both MACOS and WIN, but this for all programs and ACR   Please consider the following request for change in the Select Subject Mask   Ability to make multiple selections Ability to move pin  

Here we are up to LR11 and still no CLOUD BACKUPS for CATALOGS and PRESETS.   Honestly, I've been wanting this for years and seems like something that should have been included since Adobe went cloud-based.   Why can't we have nice things? 😞

In previous versions when I would move from one photo to the next the mask tool would stay set up in the same way. I need to brighten areas of lots of photos one after the other using the brush tool. In the previous version this was easy but now when I move from one photo to the next now the brush tool doesn't stay selected and needs setting up again to increase the highlights. This will cost me a lot of time!! HELP!!!
