P: LrC Book Module - add spell checking

Please, pleas, peas, add a spell check feature to Lightroom for the PC. Bad spelling and simple typos can make it hard to find a photo with a missspellled word! Please add soon! I beg you!

Your other requests are already topics as well that you can add your comments/vote to:

Great Product

Would be enhanced with a spell checker to help with the text insertions.

It would be even more powerful if, in addition to the photo and page caption features, a floating Text box feature could be added to add text particularly in two page spreads and other layout types such as clean.

You might also consider custom page layouts that can be created and stored. Ideally creations could be from blank or a variant of existing types.

Now with the book module added in Lightroom 4 beta, I feel a spell checker is absolutely ness... necce... necessary.

If there isn't, there should be. It is not the place of an app to offer this. There are also small programs that will do this for you.

How about a spell checker for Lightroom 4? I produced stock photos and having a spell checker for all text (especially keywords) would be very helpful.

Is there such a thing (system-wide spellcheck) in Windows?

As far as spell-check, Lightroom should just hook into the system-wide spellcheck service (if it does not do so already) instead of doing it themselves.

Font size for the whole panel (among many other things) can be controlled using jf.Friedl's Lightroom configurator:

Also, you can size the boxes themselves however you want using metadata tagsets, for example, if you put this in a file called Experimental.lrtemplate and store it in the "Lightroom app-data folder" / 'Metadata Field Lists' subfolder (then restart Lightroom) you will have a minimum 3-line caption box, if you select 'Experimental' in the drop-down in the metadata section of right-hand panel.

return {


  version   = 1, -- format this file is in (format version #1)


  title     = "Experimental",


  id        = "doe.jane.metadatafieldlist.experimental",


  type      = "MetadataFieldList",


  -- keep plugins alphabetical


  items = {


        --   A D O B E


        { "com.adobe.label", label = "File Info" },

Hi Victoria I should have been more precise in what I meant for larger caption box.

What I really was asking for is to be able to enlarge the font size, something along the lines of the metadata box in Photoshop or Photo Mechanic. For me the font size or caption box is to small for me to read sometimes.

I was thinking maby they could implement a zoom mode for caption box or any other metadata boxes.

But definitely a better spell check...I've tested the spell check in Lightroom and it has let things go by that it should have caught.
