I agree with everyone's sentiments in these replies. I would love to see all of them integrated.

For me the key thing is that the Touch Bar can be whatever anyone wants it to be; so make it exactly that. If people don't want it used, then have an option to delselect it; if people want it as a film strip have the whole thing as a film strip; if people want to flag/rate/keyword, then do that; have it do different things in each module.

The world really is your oyster with this thing guys and I'm amazed (and hugely disappointed as I just got myself a new MacBook Pro) to see it's not being utilised.

PLEASE sort this out, even if you improve it in later updates, get something out that uses it in some way, because having nothing there feels worse than having normal "F-keys"...

i would love to be able to control the sliders with the touch bar as opposed to having to click as you drag with the touch pad

The touch bar would be so useful in so many things... flagging/unflagging, star ratings, sort by ___, color coding, adjustment sliders, preset shortcuts, sliding through the bottom photo strip... Where is this update?

I would love to see presets being added to the touchbar... that would speed things for me a fair bit

When will it arrive? The touch bar would be amazing when you are rating your images.

would also love to see an option to display an image in full screen/black background using just 1 touch

Would. be nice to have the ability to have it display the image thumbnails and scroll through them the way it is done in Apple Photos.

I'd like to adjust common photo adjustments ex. white balance, exposure, contrast, shadow, highlight, etc. and in the Library tab it can use to add keyword, filter by colour label or flag

I like Andrew Holman EXIF idea. My stray touch interactions vastly outnumber my deliberate ones on the Touch Bar and I'd like something useful but passive.

I'd also love to see the Touchbar provide EXIF data while in fullscreen mode.  I like to flag photos in fullscreen mode.  Often, I'll have multiple, similar photos, with slightly different settings.  Currently, I have to leave fullscreen to view the settings.  It would be nice to just look down and see all the info.

I also agree that white balance and exposure sliders would be awesome!
