Please create a function to toggle on and off all of the "remove tool markers" at once, as well a keep the current one by one editing step.  REASON:  If you have several images that are similar and you copy/paste the edits to the next image(s), by activating all of the markers at once, you can reshape the colored overlay to match the differences from the previous images and receive a similar desired result as the previous image(s).  This would prevent having to click on each marker one by one to shape the colored overlay, which is teidious and time consuming, and sometimes causes us to miss or overlook a possible necessary edit. 

Lightroom’s new masking tools are powerful, but refining a mask’s edge still lacks precision tools that Photoshop users rely on. One feature that would significantly improve control is a Smudge (Push) tool for masks — similar to the Smudge tool in Photoshop. This would allow us to: Push or nudge mask edges inwards or outwards with a brush Correct fringes and overlaps manually without re-masking Refine object edges (hair, fabric, architecture) visually and intuitively   Current methods like subtracting a brush or adjusting feather are too coarse. We often need subtle manual tweaks, especially after AI masking or Range Masks. Please consider adding a “Push” or “Deform” brush for masks — even a basic version would be a major upgrade for local editing.

  The current workflow for batch processing is fragmented and inefficient. Simple batch tasks require switching between Lightroom, Photoshop, and Bridge — often using outdated or redundant panels like Image Processor, Export Presets, Actions, or Scripts. What we need is a single, unified batch processing tool that allows us to: Convert between formats: TIFF, PSD, JPEG, PNG, WebP Change color spaces (e.g., ProPhoto → sRGB → FOGRA39) Resize images by long edge, width, height, percentage, or megapixel target Rename files using dynamic templates (EXIF time, sequence, metadata) Apply actions, develop presets, ICC profiles Preserve or modify metadata     All of this should be achievable without manually chaining exports across three different apps with conflicting settings and limited output options. A proper cross-application batch engine is long overdue — especially for photographers working with thousands of files across color-managed workflows.    

With all the great AI stuff Adobe is rolling out, I con't understand why Lightroom classic doesnt have a duplicate finder function.  I have used both Teekesselchen and duplicate finder for years and they are ok imo but not near as good as Peakto or Excire.  I currently am subscibed to peakto would rather give Adobe my money (because I aready do).  Excire is expensive for a plugin and it does not make sense to me why this technology is not baked into lightroom.  Is there a reason im not aware of?  Is in coming?

What I would like to see - and is hopefully easy to program - is the facility to collapse and expand similar actions in the HIstory panel of the Develop module. For instance, if I have made several consequative brush strokes, it would make viewing the History panel easier, if I could collapse the series of Brush Strokes.

Hola! Me gustaria saber si en algun momento le pondran la herramienta de "Relleno generativo" a Lightroom Classic, para no tener que volcar el archivo a photoshop para utilizar la herramienta,

I am looking for a shortcut for the new denoise Function in Lightroom Classic (no DNG intermediate step anymore necessary) - it would be a game changer on a button of the Loupdeck+ !!!

I noticed there is a third party plugin called: https://www.evlaa.com/   why on earth in 2025 are we still using crappy web galleries designed 20 years ago?  Why should i need a third party program to do something you guys should have done 10 years ago? Why is there not: a. AI powered separation of a photo shoot into collections using facial recognition b. automatic generation of web galleries based on those collection names (last name of person for example) c. a client rating system that will let them drill down, compare favorites, and email me their selects d. A better looking modern design of the web galleries where the clients can zoom, view full screen, etc.   It's great to use Adobe AI to remove powerlines, and turn horses into zebras and unicorns, but implementing these other real world features would actually save us time and money for working studios. Thanks.    Robert S.

[Update: See this reply for a list of third-party plugins providing automatic image tagging: https://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/automatic-image-tagging-with-google-cloud-vis... -- John Ellis]Hi all,who of you likes organising and tagging pictures in your image catalogue? I don't. I'd love to keep my focus on taking photos. When I read about the Google Cloud Vision API, I thought this cloud be the solution for my problem that I don't like organising, but love having things organised. Cloud Vision is a service that takes an image and returns a set of keywords, places, brancs, etc. it detected. Why not let Google do the work? So I started learning Lua and Lightroom development to create such a Plugin by myself (hold on, it is nothing there yet).When I started thinking about the actual plug-in, the question came up what would other Lightroom users expect it to look like? And what other features do you expect? So I forwarding these questions to you. What do you

As a professional photographer working regularly in live music and indoor sports environments, I rely heavily on Lightroom Classic to manage and process high volumes of low-light, high-ISO images under challenging lighting conditions — often featuring strong blue or red colour casts and fast motion.  I’d like to suggest the following enhancements that would significantly improve efficiency and accuracy in my workflow   1. One-Click Colour Cast Removal Tool A dedicated “Remove Colour Cast” button (similar in spirit to “Auto Tone” or “Dehaze”) would be extremely helpful — particularly for removing dominant red or blue casts that arise from tungsten or stage lighting. While manual white balance tools are effective, a one-click starting point using AI analysis would save valuable time in batch edits   2. Denoise: Default Setting Control Currently, the Denoise feature defaults to 50%, but I consistently apply 30% to most images. It would be helpful to: Allow users to set a

When exporting an image with the option "Custom name - original file number", LrC fails to do so if the image is denoised using the new AI functionality. Instead you get the "Custom name - Sequence" instead.OS: Windows 10,LrC build no: 202304101834-a085245cSteps to reproduce: Denoise an image using the new AI-function (button above the denoise sliders), export using "Custom name - original file number".Result: The images get sequence number in the file name instead of image number. (The "Enhanced" addition to the name seems to confuse the export function. Should be fairly easy to parse or link back to the original file.)Expected result: The exported images should have the original file number.  

Hi,   every time I want to play a Slideshow, it takes several minutes to calculate this, due to the fact, I have many big panoramas, HDRs etc.. It's been like this for years, app. it's not easy for Adobe to improve performance here.  The real problem is though: the cache is deleted, as soon as it's played / you change to another program etc.; and if you wanna play it another time, it starts from scratch again - I keep wondering, why on earth has this been coded like that? Why can't it at least keep the cache of those images, instead of deleting this right away, or give an easy option to save this?I can only export this as a video (or PDF) file, which again takes ages - and for this reason, the app is completely useless for showing slideshows to colleagues / clients etc., it simply always makes a bad impression, unless you export everything in advance (for which you don't always have the time). Also when exporting, there's still no 4K option there, something like 20 years afte

When I'm in Preferences, there's a button that takes me to Catalog Settings, but there's no similar button in Catalog Settings that returns to Preferences.    I'd like to see this very much.

My workflow for Adobe Denoise. Edit RAW image in Lightroom Use Denoise AI which saves and changes my file name – adds Enhanced-NR Open the DGN in Photoshop and do more edits Close DGN and it saves my default LR file type as a layered TIF. Delete the DGN and rename the tif. Step 6 is a pain. I haven’t figured out a fast way to get rid of the extra words “Enhanced-NR” in the file name. And if I use Lightroom to export the DGN as a TIF it flattens the layers created in Photoshop - not good.

When I want to soften a bokeh, I can create mask by clicking the "Select Subject" button, invert it and decrease Sharpeness.   But the problem occurs at the edges of subject, the edges of subject are blurred too. The only way is to create another brush mask, paint around the subject and subtract it from original mask.   1. It would be nice if there was a feather control in "Select Subject" that would extend the mask.   2. It would be great if there were an option to automatically recalculate AI mask after synchronization or if mask was copied to a new photo or when applying preset with AI mask.   With this features softening the bokeh could be saved as a preset and it would be very easy to apply it.

After LR upgrade to 14.4, I get a popup stating: You have enabled "Use Smart Previews instead of Originals for image editing" in the preferences.When using the latest AI features, it is highly recommended that you always work on Originals.For best results disable this preference !!!Suggestion to Adobe: Make LR smart enough to use the Originals when they are needed/beneficial (like - if I am right - when zooming in to adjust sharpening ?) but keep using Smart Previews for speedups when the Originals are not needed/beneficial.   Otherwise, we always need to toggle this under Preferences->Performance 😞

I've resorted to multiple solutions to this BUG for years, there's no excuse for this. Adobe: I'd love to hear a *good* reason why, when exporting a slideshow to 1080p video, that contains a mix of video footage (1080p or HIGHER) and photos that are cropped far larger than 1080 pixels tall that Lightroom can't figure out that it does NOT need to *reduce* the 1080p video clip(s). Been this way since the beginning, can we please get this right. Not doing any panning or zooming, just asking LR (v3 Perpetual - Classic 14.1.1) to *first* survey the size of every element in the slideshow and do the right thing (if the smallest image is ≥ the export size, only *reduce* any images larger than this, do NOT reduce the images that meet the export size). Been using "PhotoStage" because it's the smoothest option vs. LR.   [Moved from 'Bugs' to 'Ideas' by moderator. This is no so much a bug, it is poor design. So this is a request to improve this design, not a bug report]

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  

I'm on Mac (M1 Max with 64 GB RAM) , and RAW display performance is really painfully slow, about 1.5 s for a random jump in Raw mode.   Adobe asks me for years what to improve, and I would just like to point them to (relatively cheap) competition:Meet FastRawViewer, which displays images directly from RAW within fractions of a second has useful helper functions to quickly check focus plane and sharpness and also allows to quickly inspect highlights and shadows   In combination, this speeds up image culling to less than half the time it needs in LR. I would expect these from the software company with the biggest development budget in the industry.   Lightroom was the only tool I used to use. Now I use other tools for key processes, like FastRawViewer for culling and DXO Pure Raw for developing.

LR 4.1rc2 under Windows 7 x64The reverse-geocoding function of LR4 is a great feature and a potential time-saver, yet it can lead to some minor disasters.Specifically, there is currently no way to "stabilize" the location metadata that has been automatically filled by LR (displayed in gray italics). Editing any value by hand e.g. a misspelled City name, leads to all other fields (Country, State, Sublocation) being emptied - problematic when filters are effective on these fields, as the photo suddenly disappears and end up with partly missing location info.Possible remedies: when location info has been automatically filled by LR :- provide (only in such a case) a checkbox offering to "keep these values", so they can from then on be appear as 'normal' metadata, and be edited as such without some tricky behaviouror- make these auto-filled values separate from each other, allowing to edit one without discarding all the others. That would also allow the reverse-geocoding feature to work wit

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.

Please add Ascending/ Descending Toggle to Folders/Collections in LightroomClassic   I just asked adobe official tech support and they sent me here.   Say you have 100 Folders or Collections, or Collections sets. You currently cannot sort the folders in the collection pannel so that folder named "100" is at the top!   So you have to Scrool Down 100 Collections folders to get to the lastest few collections you were working on. I know I could rename my folders but I dont want to.    The sorting available now is "sort by Kind or Name"   There is no Toggle for Up and Down (Ascending / Descending) for Sort By Names.    That's all I'm asking, This would be great and would help so many people that are currently renameing or scrolling a lot just to get to their preset panel or to see the latest collections they were working on.   Sorting feature just like already exists within a collection for the Photos.   A Toggle for top to bottom 

This has been going on for long time now, haven't had time to post about it as I resent having to spend so much of my time doing so.   Adobe, please make you metadate panels in Ps, Br and Lr the same. Please make them work properly and make them consistent to each other. I'm about to lose my mind bc of this.    Photo 01 shows that i am unable to scroll down any further, note the scroll bars have topped out. What IS that? I can't work like this. Can't see entire fields.   Photo 02 show nice big readable metadata fields in Lr, bravo. HowEVER, if you go into Lr's metadata "edit presets" you get Photo 03, completely useless metadata fields that make me want to jump off a bridge. The "Rights Usage" field only allows one to see ONE LINE at a time. Omg. I have one client who loves to pack info into these field, it used to be so easy and smooth, now its a ridiculously frustrating and amature affair. How does Adobe allow this sort of thing to happen and continue? I hold out

In Lightroom, please "remember" the currently select images in each folder as I move back and forth. This would be such a time saver!
