When can we expect generative expand as in ACR to be in LRC?

    You can already use this in Lightroom Classic via a workaround:

    1: Save metadata to files in Lightroom Classic.

    2: Choose ‘Photo - Show Photo in Explorer/Finder’.

    3: Double-click the image to open it in Photoshop/Camera Raw.

    4: Expand the image in ACR. Click Done when you are finished, do not open it in Photoshop.

    5: Back in Lightroom Classic, choose ‘Read Metadata from File’.

    Adobe does not usually comment on future developments. And anybody who knows, will be bound to silence because of an NDA.
