Feature Requests

I really miss the ability to pick 1-2-3 similar photos from a shoot and compare them during my editing process to pick the beset one of the three.Please bring that back to this version.

I have been hoping to get Survey view in Lightroom for years now as it is a feature I depend on extensively in Lightroom Classic, to the extent that I struggle to use Lightroom.When judging a set of images, it could be a selection of images, or just seeing if they are coherent (could be crop, white balance etc) it’s much easier to just select images and open in survey view than it it putting them in an album and looking at them in a grid.A variation could potentially be a light table view (like the one that used to exist in Aperture) where images can be freely arranged on a canvas.

The Info panel on my iPad version of Lr Mobile has plenty of blank space on it. Please use some of that empty space to display any Location data associated with each image. Even better would be the ability to add/edit Location info on the iPad. This would save time and trouble and make the iPad version more like the version I see on my laptop. What is baffling is that my iPad Pro has an M1 processor that is more than capable of handling the minuscule extra data that is displayed—so why are you handcuffing the Mobile version?

I would like to suggest adding a leg selection mask, similar to existing subject and skin detection tools, to allow targeted adjustments

Once the indexing has been completed and Lightroom CC has found all the potential faces, it would be nice to have the ability to add People Tags to pictures that were "missed" where no faces were recognized.  The idea of People Tags is to be able to search for people and generate all potential results.  Right now it's messy because you have to resort to keyword tags to identify people that were missed with facial recognition and makes searching and cataloging a tedious task.

I’d like to request proper support for Smart Albums syncing to iPad within Adobe Lightroom.At the moment, Smart Albums (or Smart Collections) created on desktop do not carry across to mobile devices in a usable way. While I understand collections can be synced, the actual rules and automation behind Smart Albums are lost.This is a real limitation for workflows like mine.I manage a large, structured image archive (40,000+ images), using Smart Albums to organise content by:Location (e.g. streets and areas) Subject (buildings, features, etc.) Status (new, ready, published)During the working week, my primary device is an iPad,  it’s what I use on the go to review, select, and prepare content. Desktop access is limited to evenings or weekends.Because Smart Albums don’t sync, I have to:Manually recreate album structures Copy images between albums Rely on workarounds instead of automationThis adds unnecessary time and increases the risk of inconsistencies.What would help:Smart Albums syncing

hello! I recently added a custom camera profile to test out some settings in Lightroom CC. But now I want to delete that profile, is there a way to do so?

Lightroom for Android supports HDR editing in all HDR capable google pixels aside from the Pixel 10 series, even though the screen technology is the same as what was found in the previous 9 series which is supported. Could you add this feature to these newer devices? 

The extensive HDR support across all versions of Lightroom is amazing. However, sharing the images is still challenging and it would be incredibly helpful if Adobe Portfolio supported HDR photos (ideally shared as gain maps).   The existing HDR support in LR Web Galleries is great (example). However, it lacks the capabilities many photographers are seeking to share their work. Adobe Portfolio is a much better fit for many people, especially given it's included with Creative Cloud and the excellent Lightroom integration.

I can't find a specific feature request that exists for this (there is a discussion thread here, but it is marked as "solved" with a link to a totally unrelated feature).   I often want to share a photo from my library in Slack, imessages, e-mail, etc., and the easiest workflow on Mac these days for most apps is to be able to copy (cmd-C) the image and paste it into the other app. Dragging the photo to the other app is a nice alternative (though one I use less often).   For desktop lightroom, the best solution seems to be one of: 1. * export photo * drag the photo from Finder to the app of your choice * delete the photo when done   2. * cmd-ctrl-4 (for cropped screengrab) and drag the rectangle to match the edges of the photo as best you can * paste poorly compressed photo into app of your choice (I just did it on a photo covering less than half my screen, and it resulted in a 25.4 MB file)   Surely it wouldn't be that hard to integrate Lightroom into the copy-

On the desktop version, when we select to store an album locally (for offline access), it always downloads the full resolution images. My understanding is that the same feature on mobile only downloads the “smart preview” versions of the photos. I would like to have an option, either in the settings or when downloading an album, to select if I want the full-size files or the smart previews. There are two options I’m asking for this: I mostly use this when travelling. Having all the full resolution photos takes unnecessary spaces. When I travel with a less powerful devices, having full resolution photos slows down Lightroom a lot and uses an unnecessary amount of resources to process the images.

put the watermark option on the web page for Lightroom cc, I have the option on my ipad but not on my MacBook.

Years and months are ordered in opposite directions on in the hierarchical date view. This is broken. Here's what happens if you do an interval selection between 2024 and 2023, you get the non-interval (non-contiguous) selection consisting of Jan23, Feb23, Nov24, and Dec24 Please fix. 

Couldn’t find this feature, but I think its a pretty simple and easy feature that they can add to the sorting menu in the albums. Typically when you share a cloud album so multiple people can see and edit, it would be nice to be able to sort by people. So you can seperate who sent what etc. It would also be nice to be able to filter out people. Thanks. let me know if its already possible. should at least be more easily accessable if so... :) 

A huge part of using the Lightroom cloud is the ability to edit and show albums on the go. I use IPad on the go and lack of this feature is a major pain in both editing workflows and on-site client workflows. This doesn’t even sound like a big uplift when compared to other features your team is working on (e.g. Assisted Culling)… Can we please get this is prioritized ?Another related feature that is super useful is to allow “not-equal-to” operation in Keywords. For example, specify a filter likekeywords not-equal-to “TODO”

I would love to be able to create smart albums (aka smart collections) in the all-new Lightroom CC. Basically, a folder that contains a set of photos based on metadata information and updates automatically. The feature set should ideally contain all the options that exist in Lightroom Classic for smart collections. Thanks!

It would be great if you could share smart albums the same way you share normal albums.     I shoot sports events and when go through the shots I tag them with the club of the athletes and then set up smart albums to populate photos based on keywords.  The problem is I can't then share these albums and have to take a static copy of the photos and add them to normal album which I then share.  This is not ideal as the normal album  is a static snapshot in time where these events go over 3 days so as I tag more shots I need to repopulate the static album from the smart album.    It would make much more sense if smart albums could just be shared (please please please) 

Just like I can share a link to a static Lightroom Album, I would like to share a web link to a Smart Album. Currently there is no way to do so.

Add virtual copy feature from desktop app to mobile

Currently, if you try to share a photo to the community that has been denoised or upscaled with Lightroom’s AI denoiser or upscaler, it gives you an error and says that it is not yet supported. Seems like a pretty easy thing to add support for it, but I could be wrong. 

Native FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) Filter for Pattern, Texture, and Moiré RemovalI am writing to address a critical, long-standing gap in Lightroom’s toolset that has remained unresolved for decades: the lack of a native FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) filter.As a photo restorer and long-time Creative Cloud user, I frequently work with archives where physical paper textures—such as "silk," "honeycomb," or linen finishes—create repetitive patterns that severely degrade scan quality. While Lightroom has made incredible leaps with AI-powered Denoise and Generative Remove, these tools still struggle to distinguish between high-frequency noise and the structural, mathematical patterns of paper textures and digital moiré.The Problem: Currently, to remove periodic patterns or heavy moiré interference, we are forced to export files to Photoshop and rely on outdated, third-party 8-bit plugins or complex manual workflows. The current "Moiré" slider in Lightroom is often insufficient for deep textu

Please add new 3:4 aspect ratio for the IG “add border and share…” feature. IG has updated its max vertical aspect ratio in 2026. Or just allow me to pick custom aspect ratio under the “add border” feature.

In Lightroom Mobile I desperately need a proper camera profile management option, that allows for hiding and deleting of entire profile groups.   In my editing workflow I rely heavily on custom profiles (not to be confused with presests) and over time I imported quite a lot of them - most of which I do not use anymore.    Now in Lightroom CC Desktop (not to be confused with Lightroom Classic) one can only (but at least) hide profile groups. Even if I prefered an option to delete an entire group at once as well - going through hundreds or even thousands of individual profiles deleting them via right-click isn't really an option for me - this allows me to only show the profile groups I use on a regular basis and keep my workflow simple.   In Lightoom Mobile on the other hand, there is no way to hide or delete entire profile groups (yet alone single profiles) and neither is the information about which profiles are beeing hidden in Lightroom CC Desktop beeing synch

At the moment the panel on both Lr and LrC is basic and lacks functionality that users would expect in today's world. Renaming, manual organization, and overall refinement. With the rise of LUTs and profiles like https://lumenaryvision.com/ this is badly needed - especially for users who use both LRs on multiple devices and/or create their own profiles using Color Checker cards. Users cannot currently delete these or ensure they’re shared properly between apps.
