Feature Requests

Identifying people in a large collection can become kind of a mess, because then I might have lots of people identified and struggle to find the right people. I wish there would be the chance to create folders to group specific people, such as Family, Friends, Work colleagues, BTT Group, etc.

Following a discussion on the LR4 beta forum: Converting to CMYK and soft proofing in CMYK are two completely different things, so at least we need a CMYK softproofing. During the last years I ran into a lot of problems due to modern LED lightning on the scene, it is able to produce colors (especially in the blues) far away out of the CMYK color space. Converting pictures to CMYK later after my initial processing can change a picture dramatically, a bit similar to a conversion to b/w. So even if you have to deliver your material in RGB and someone else is doing a professional conversion later, you should be able to predict what can happen to your material! So if you deliver material that will be converted – earlier or later – to CMYK: You need at least a simple soft proof. Otherwise it can happen that you deliver material that simply can’t be published.

I would like too see the mask marked in red (my mask) in the list marked in blue (options) in attached screen shot. Better if LR can automatically (using AI like body parts in portrait pictures) create some luminance and color masks too.

Can we please get a client review system from Lightroom Classic or Lightroom Web for shared albums that allow the client to see, view, and sort their hearts and others hearts.  They need the ability to turn on and off all the other photos that have not been rated by them or others as well.    It’s impossible to use Lightroom and I need to switch from using the application and platform because there is no easy way to share an album that allows a client control over the review process.The client currently does not have the ability to sort images by my ratings, flags, or color labels.   They can’t see flags, color labels, or ratings no matter the access level given.  They can’t sort by their own hearts or comments.  They can’t see others hearts or comments.   The whole ecosystem only allows one person to do anything and no way to have a client satisfied with their control to review the images in a shared album.  This current ecosystem makes Lightroom non-professional and not fitting for a

Hi Could you please consider replacing the current jpeg export code used  by Lightroom / Camera raw with jpegli ?   I tested it and it's compression efficiency is much better than the one you currently use, resulting in smaller jpeg files for same quality or better quality files for same size   Thank you   https://opensource.googleblog.com/2024/04/introducing-jpegli-new-jpeg-coding-library.html   https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/main/lib/jpegli/README.md   https://github.com/google/jpegli  

Currently the Previous button is useful, PROVIDED you only want to apply those setttings on the next image you select. But what happens if you are scrolling past multiple frames of the same scene and then decide you want to apply those ‘previous’ settings, then you have to go back to that original edit and copy/paste it. It’s a total waste of time, especially if, like me, you use copy and paste to store your preset look adjustments to speed up workflow (so you don’t have to go up and click on the preset for each image for large volume event / product edits). Please modify the Previous button so it doesn't forget the last edit when you click on more than one other thumbnail (as happens now) and the workflow will be supercharged. Or at least make this AN OPTION YOU CAN TOGGLE on/off on the PREVIOUS BUTTON. I cannot tell you how much going back and forth this would eradicate - with Copy/Paste for your preset look together with previous for the last ‘entire’ edit (incl. crop / remove, etc)

Let me add text notes to photo, stacks of photos, and directories of photos so that I can record shot and processing details. I'd like to be able to print the notes along with an image thumbnail.

Dear Adobe Lightroom Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I would like to formally request the addition of full Arabic language support in the Adobe Lightroom application. As one of the most widely used photo editing tools globally, Lightroom serves a large and growing user base in Arabic-speaking regions. Currently, the absence of Arabic language support creates usability challenges for many users, particularly those who prefer or rely on Arabic for navigation and workflow efficiency. Adding Arabic as a supported language would significantly enhance accessibility, user experience, and adoption across the Middle East and North Africa. Given the importance of inclusivity and localization in modern software, I believe this enhancement would provide substantial value to your platform and its diverse user community. Thank you for your time and consideration.I look forward to seeing future updates that support Arabic language integration. Kind regards,Hatem Alshammari.

Lightroom Classic already supports USB tethering for a wide range of Sony cameras. Adobe uses Sony's proprietary PTP extensions, which are documented in Sony’s “Camera Remote Command” documentation.Sony has released an updated version of its “Camera Remote Command” documentation, which explains how to add PTP-IP network support for cameras supporting Camera Control PTP 3 (models released from 2020 onwards: A1, A1 II, A9 II, A9 III, A7R IV, A7R IVA, A7R V, A7S III, A7C, A7C II, A7CR and A6700).Please add PTP-IP support to the current Lightroom Classic tethering code, so that users of modern Sony cameras can tether their cameras by Wi-Fi, built-in Ethernet or a USB-C-to-Ethernet adapter (depending on the networking support in their camera).Not only would network tethering support be a worthwhile feature enhancement, but adding network tethering will help to overcome user frustration and Adobe’s support burden from the USB driver clash between Sony Imaging Edge and Lightroom Classic on Wi

Please, oh please, add a simple liquify or warp tool to the Q panel! Wedding photographers adore Lightroom, but round-tripping 1500 photos over to CC just to give errant armpits and dress straps a five-second cleanup is an enormous bog. Lightroom, I love you. This is all I ask to make my world complete. Please, we beg of you, let us move some pixels!

Would like the ability to create the grid thumbnails in grid mode outside of generating standard previews. It’s my understanding these are separate 160x106px previews. This is helpful with large collection - for example after clearing preview file. Right now, the only option is to scroll the grid view and wait for them to populate. I’ve pulled the Lightroom window out to make the window extra extra extra wide to save in having to scroll to generate, but this obviously isn’t ideal. Thank you!

If one takes a panorama , it can be that the photos when joined show colour differences, or haze, or glare etc, and if the join made by photoshop runs through differing areas of haze, or grass, or sky, its a fail. There is NO MEANS of opening these images anywhere and equalising the photos. Lightroom I am shown allows a reference photo to left of one being matched to it, by use of all the sliders and human eye and input. A lot of fiddling to try and marry all 12 pics. By the time you get to the 12th picture a certain amount of difference will creep in. If as I am doing, working with somobody elses photo of a pump compartment for photogrammetry, to have the same exposure/hue/tint/saturation/lightness etc for each pic, is very tricky, yet AI would solve this, lightroom doesnt even show which pic in the thumbnail strip is the one on screen ! Very bad experience. I gave in, To be able to select the images and say match to the reference shot, such is needed. A post called color match as in

Dark mode in Windows would be very useful, I use it on my system and everything is very eye pleasing, but the LRC toolbar is still white which ends up being distracting when working on dark photos since the rest of the UI is dark. It makes no sense that the toolbar does not follow the OS system theme, or at least have a proper dark mode option in LRC settings somewhere?   Pic related,t hanks!  

Description: I am requesting a UI update for Lightroom to ensure all pop-up menus, specifically the "Copy Settings"dialog, respect the selected Dark Theme.The Problem: Currently, when working in the dark interface, copying settings triggers a bright white pop-up. This creates extreme visual contrast ("light flashes") that causes eye strain and breaks the editing flow, especially in low-light environments or during long professional sessions.Proposed Solution: Update the "Copy Settings" and "Paste Settings" dialog boxes to have a dark background and light text, matching the rest of the Lightroom Pro/Classic interface.Why it matters: Consistency in UI is crucial for professional photo editing. A unified dark mode will improve accessibility and reduce eye fatigue for millions of users who prefer working in a dark environment. 

Very small feature request; when exporting large batch of photos, and Lightroom Classic in minimized, hovering my cursor over its icon in the taskbar (Windows 11) shows the percentage completed, but upon maximizing the application, that percentage is nowhere to be seen, even when hovering the cursor above LR icon in the task bar. I’m requesting the percentage completed is shown adjacent to the export progress bar. 

As a long term user of Lightroom Classic, it is great to see AI enabled object selections. Makes the workflow of a property photographer much easier, so THANK YOU for that.One object we often need selected is WINDOWS (excluding the window frame) to enable us to match the indoor exposure with the brighter outdoors. At the moment, this is achieved by selecting a window pane using the object selection tool, the adding every other window pane to the selection before reducing the exposure. It would be GREAT if a feature could be implemented where there is an AI text prompt for object selection where we could type “select window panes” or “select ceilings”, both tasks done repeatedly everyday. A text box under the object selection pane in which one can prompt what to SELECT. This would be FANTASTIC, please please please implement team!Thank youJosh

Could Adobe Lightroom Classic incorporate a feature that automates window masking in real estate photo editing, facilitating 'window pulls' without the need for manual brushing?   Love the products!   greets!

if we can upload in our cloud space multiple diffrent catalogs and have them organized as folder in our cloud would be very nice

Hi,A tool frequently used by photojournalists is to use the lock to flag pictures for import and filing. This allows you to review and flag on the camera as you are shooting a lot of frames, rather than taking the time to import and review hundreds of pictures while you're on a tight deadline.PhotoMechanic allows the photographer to only import the locked images. Would it be possible for Lightroom to have this feature?From what I understand, all that happens is that the file system flag for "read-only" is set and that is how PM recognizes it. Why can't Lightroom?

Is it possible that you can place 2 watermarks/logos in the watermark edit. So place a watermark at the top right and bottom right at the same time. Thanks, Roy Froma

Feature: allow users to provide criteria for name-space search (face-name matches) that exclude (prefer) according to user-specified criteria. Most important criteria for matching is capture time, but other criteria (keyword / keyword groups, for example) could be used. Fuzzy logic implementation would also be possible (e.g. heavily weight likely results by year of capture, presence in collections/collection sets, etc)This will GREATLY reduce the number of false-positive matches.Example using capture time:-User has large catalog containing many photographs, including images going many years.-Selects a group of photos (by collection set, folder years, search criteria, etc) that all have capture times of 2025.-In suggested matches, Lightroom currently displays potential matches for names that are only in images prior to 2005 (real world example). -Provide an option for user to specify capture-time periods (eg 2020-present), and the number of false matches drops dramatically. -All of this

I have a main catalog to which I occasionally add photos using the Import from another catalog option. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes those photos are already in the main catalog with edits and other metadata. When faced with duplicates, Lightroom offers the option to Keep old settings as virtual copies, but it seems more logical to me that when faced with duplicates, the opposite option should be available, i.e., to add the photos from the imported secondary catalog as virtual copies while keeping the existing ones as Masters. This would allow users to compare both versions side-by-side and delete the unnecessary one without risking the integrity of their primary edits.In my case, there are usually no edits in the imported catalog, but to be on the safe side, I would like to import it (as a virtual copy) so that I can compare, check, and delete them if necessary.

Lightroom Classic, like Lightroom CC (what a confusion this naming causes!) should be able to upload full raw files to the cloud and not just smart previews. This is clearly a missing feature. This is especially handy if you mainly use Lightroom Classic because of its much more powerful editing and ability to actually print but would love to edit the full image from other machines.

Es wäre super, wenn man ein Bild aus LR in FireFly sendet und man anschliessend wieder mit dem korrigierten Bild in den LR Katalog zurück gehen kann. So wie das auch ist, wenn ich von LR in Photoshop bearbeite und das Bild dann automatisch in den LR Katalog übernommen wird

The AI for masking is brilliant. What would be nicer is if when I send an image to edit in Photoshop, it sends the mask too. After all, it's already created.   Alternatley, If I open an image in Photoshop's ACR, and I create a mask, why can't it open with the mask as a layer. It seems, again, since the mask is already created, it should be no problem, barely an inconvience.   Thank you for your consideration, Vito S.
