Feature Requests

Hello Adobe team,   I'm a dedicated Lightroom Mobile user with a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, which has powerful hardware and Super HDR capabilities. Despite this, Lightroom Mobile's HDR viewing and editing features are only available on select Google Pixel devices, leaving out other high-performance devices like the S24 Ultra. Given the advanced capabilities of the S24 Ultra, there is no technical reason it should be excluded from full HDR support.   Expanding this functionality to include more devices would enhance the experience for many users who have invested in top-tier smartphones. I hope Adobe considers updating Lightroom Mobile to enable HDR features across a broader range of supported devices.   Thank you for your attention to this matter.

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

Hi, I have an issue with Lightroom (installed from the adobe cloud).  Search is broken for me all the time when searching for words in file names. I can't get it to come back with any results for anything.  It says "Oh no! A blackhole"

When a client picks favorites through a gallery tool like Pixieset, the delivery workflow is: copy the list of filenames, paste into Lightroom's search, pull up just those photos to edit. Right now pasting more than 1-2 filenames breaks the search entirely, either no results or an actual error screen ("Oh no! A black hole"). This happens on both Lightroom desktop and the web app.Lightroom Classic already handles this correctly (Library Filter > Text > Filename > Contains Any, works with any number of pasted names), so the underlying logic clearly exists. It's just missing from cloud/CC search.This would help any photographer who delivers galleries and needs to pull a client's exact picks back into Lightroom to edit, which is a pretty universal part of the job, not an edge case.

En la aplicación de android me pongo en máscaras y no viene la función para seleccionar objetos para cambiarles de color

I have a workflow where I convert my Sony ARW files to DNG files as they are much more space efficient. Currently I have to do this through Lightroom Classic using the Library menu -> Convert to DNG. It would be incredible convenient to do the DNG conversion direcly in the cloud, on the android app or at least on the windows lightroom. This way I would not have to deal with the brittle sync between Lightroom Classic and Lightroom, and everything could be done on the go.

I'm probably at the low end of the prosumer category when it comes to photography. I've been using Lightroom for a couple of years. I love the multiple platform feature on the new CC, but geotagging images has always been important for me (enough so that onboard GPS is a mandatory feature when I look for a camera). I had been adding locations to older images in what's now CC Classic. Are we going to get that ability in the new CC? Even more importantly, will the new AI-based search allow us to do things like pull pictures based on location? And, if so, will we be able to do things like define a radius? This was all possible when we had the maps panel, but seems to be challenging now.

Allow bulk "Update Ai Edits" for Lightroom Mobile. Context:I was bulk editing a set of photos. I did this by selecting the photos and pasting the settings.When I attempted to bulk download these edited photos, the app prompts that the photos need to have "Update Ai Edits" performed.  Doing the "Update Ai Edits" is tedious, hence this feature request.

Bring back the catagories for suggested presets..   why was it removed it was so useful for finding the vibe while editing?

Please bring AI Denoise to Lightroom Mobile on Android. It would be extremely useful for Android photographers working with high-ISO RAW files.As an event photographer, I often have to work in low light, with high ISO, and using standard noise reduction sliders makes the image soft, whereas using AI denoise maintains detail.Lightroom Mobile already supports RAW editing and other advanced AI features on Android, so having AI Denoise available as well would greatly improve the mobile workflow and provide better feature parity between platforms.

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.

Please add motion blur effect in blur effect list, motion blur like panning photography, 

The issue is that the app has features like generative expand and generative remove, and I want these to not be in my app. I will migrate from Adobe completely if this isn’t fixed.

I pay for a subscription mainly to access community presets in the recommended tab. You changed this section to no longer include the sub categories (dark, warm, cinematic, etc). No idea why you’d remove that. Without it I won’t have a need for a paid subscription any longer 

I'm primarily a Lightroom Classic user but use the cloud-version on my ipad so I also. have it installed on my Macbook. Today I discovered that "Community" and "Learn" takes up a lot of screen space on the left side panel. But I can't find out how to remove these from my left panel.   I use Lightroom for my own photos and have no interest in using it for browsing other peoples photos. Do I have to go back to a previous version or will this bug be fixed?

how do I recreate the smart album for photos without keywords in the cloud based version please

I cannot understand why some tools are implemented on only  the mobile (iPad/Phone/Web) platforms.One example is "Add Border and Share" - this should be on all platforms (especially the desktop version) .. Maybe this is down to the feature name "share". Would a better name be "Export with Border"

Please add “Add borders & share “ or “add borders” option to Lightroom and Lightroom classic. Why would you only make this option available for the mobile apps? Borders on photos is a massively used tool for many photographers professionally posting and print photos for clients and family. It’s an easy update why are you not doing this? So frustrating…...

I’d really love for the “Remove Extra People” button to be removed or removable. It is in my way almost 100% of the time that I try to use the removal tool on Lightroom Mobile. I’m sure it helps some people, but for working professionals who don’t remove people from photos because it’s unethical, it’s a persistent hindrance. Thank you for considering. 

Feature Request: Filter Photos and Videos by Date RangeLightroom Mobile on iOS currently does not provide an option to filter photos and videos using a custom date range.It would be very useful to have a “Date Range” filter, where users can select a start date and end date and see only the photos/videos captured or imported during that period.For example:Start date: January 1, 2025 End date: March 31, 2025 Show only photos and videos from that periodThis would be especially useful for users with large Lightroom libraries, making it much easier to find, organize, tag, move, or manage media from a specific trip, event, or period.Please consider adding custom date-range filtering to Lightroom Mobile for iOS.

Please allow for image "stacks" or "groups" on Lightroom for iPad. This would be relevant for (at least) the following workflow:   * Maintaining copies of both Raw and JPG images alongside each other, without seeing the images twice in the catalog; also, allows you to reject/accept both Raw and JPG forms in a single step. * Collecting in-camera bracketed images into a single group.   Even with this, you'll still need Lightroom Classic to do any sort of stitching (HDR, Pano, etc), but this would at least allow my iPad catalog to stay organized until I can make it back to a computer with LrC. Thank you.

There is only one color-based Adaptive profile. The Adaptive Color profile is quite good overall and works well on most images I take. It saves a significant amount of time.Occasionally, it will not do a good job. This is often when making a picture too bright when it’s not needed. I would like to see more adaptive profiles to handle more situations or provide more options. It is clearly better than those which do not change based on the image.

Please add multplay subject and removed in one picture. This is very annoying on picture one subject automatic sleact. Please This option add next update.it is requared very much. Please add this futcher i strongly insist.

On the desktop version of Lightroom you can select objects like the front windshield of a car which makes it so much easier to edit like darkening or dehazing, i would like to have this feature on my iPad so I can edit while I travel
