Is it possible to sync stacks between devices in Lightroom CC. I don't mean the photos, I mean the fact they are in a stack. I sorted loads of photos into stacks on my Mac and figured they'ed be stacked on my iPad but they are not.

Lightroom CC and Keywords. It appears that the CC version only has limited support for keywords. For those of us who have spent years collecting or building controlled vocabularies, this would be a critical requirement and is a potential game-changer in respect of migrating to the CC version. Dealing with 10,000 bird species in a variety of languages including scientific binomials ain't going to be fun in a flat keyword list. I recognise that for people who only want 'blue', 'sky', 'holiday' this won't be important, but for digital asset management it is pretty up there.Support for a continuation of hierarchical controlled vocabularies would be much appreciated.

I would like a feature to remove dark circles, a skin cleansing option, and a background remover.

I am really enjoying Lightroom's generative removal feature. Would you kindly think about incorporating generative fill, which allows for text generation similar to Photoshop?

This can be applied across all apps that are both in PC and Mobile Phones(Android & iOs) I propose Adobe to introduce for mobile devices a lifetime Premium subscription option i.e. like other competitor apps. Obviously iOs app will be more expensive than Amdroid. But currently your yearly pricing is close to a lifetime subx price for competitor apps.  Obviously not affecting the computer subscriptions.  With such a move you'll definitely have more loyal users in both mobile phones and computers. Though for sales increase you put an offer for 1st time Lifetime mobile app subscribers get a 1 month free app use, then subsequent monthly or yearly payments as per the PC app subscription. 

Hi, Importing images in lightroom mobile feels a bit bare bone: My usual workflow involves connecting a memory card to my laptop, and filter using the star rating. Then I import images with one star or more. (I rate my photos straight on the camera, it is much more convenient for me). When on holiday, I find myself stuck, as there is no such option on the Android app. (Importing all the photos is unrealistic, as I take thousands of them)  Would it be possible to have star (and other)  Rating systems on import please?      

Since we cannot manually enter custom aspect ratios in Lightroom mobile, I would like to have a 65:24 preset aspect ratio for getting that x-pan look.    That's all. 

Really would like to be able to organize my presets groups into folders and be able to rename the the folders/groups too. It would be easier to navigate if I can sort them by season or type specific.

I was (and still am, I guess) so, so excited about the launch of the new CC. However, I was extremely disappointed to find that there is no local adjustments folder to add custom brush presets. I chatted with an Adobe Support rep and they said that it "may be added in the future" and to post on here.I cannot believe that I have to post on here asking for Adobe to add a main chunk of my workflow back into Lightroom. I can't be the only one whose LR workflow is affected by the lack of this capability.

I recently took a bunch of exposure bracketed shots and now I'm merging them together into HDR photos. Doing one is very straightforward (select all 3 and then Ctrl + Shift + H), but then I have to wait 35 seconds (I timed it) for the merge to complete and the interface to become responsive again. When I have a hundred HDR photos to produce, this takes an inordinate amount of time, where 95% of it is just waiting. I know Lightroom Classic already has batch processing options. Can we please get it in Lightroom Cloud?   Better yet, could Lightroom just detect it on import? The procedure I follow to find my bracketed shots is very straightforward. Just find a group of 3 pics that have identical composition where the last one is overexposed and all were taken within 1 second of each other. I'd be happy to specify certain parameters, such as that all HDR merges should be made of 3 shots because that's how I always set my bracketing.

The People option in masking available in web browser in laptop/desktop isn't available in my ipad or mobile device. Would be more helpful if that feature is also included in other devices.

Why is the mouse scroll wheel still scroll up/down? Why can't we just set it to zoom in Lightroom CC? I have NEVER needed to scroll an image up and down only. Having the wheel quickly zoom in and out while dragging to pan is the most natural thing to me. Am I the only one that thinks the scroll wheel should be default zoom in any image editor / viewer application?

When shooting straight down, the tilt meter comes in handy. When trying to get the camera flat with no distortion, it shows tilt from left to right. But it doesn’t show tilt up and down. In other words, when the lens is perfectly flat, the reading of the tilt meter should register in 2 ways. This is the tilt meter from the Pro Camera app. Easy to see when the camera is flat and the V + H colors align: 

The default sharpening is 40% for anything shot with the LR camera. It would be great to be able to adjust this. I can set the import sharpening level for anything shot with the phone camera app or a 3rd party app, but not the LR camera.  One thing I'd like to know is that if the photo has increased sharpening in the Develop mode, is any output sharpening added to this amount? If so, a good reason set a default low or off for the camera.

The method of changing lenses would be simpler/faster with 3 different buttons, and not the one that I have to press/toggle through. Floating down a stream in a kayak trying to get a quick shot would be so much better not having to go through the lenses. I almost never shoot Ultra Wide, so that as a choice just slows down the process. And the shot floats away.

The shoot through Pro profiles (esp. the High Contrast B+W) are a great feature. It would be helpful if they could be user-modified/created. That way users could add the effects/adjustments they want to be their shooting defaults.

Imagine a scenario: I have tonnes of gallery folders in my lightroom account that i have accumulated over many years and I need to look for a photo of a person that i know I had taken a photo of some time back. I have a photo that I see online of that person, if I can download as a sample and use it in my Lighroom photo search to find the same face of the person that I have in my gallery - this would be a great feature, esp. for those of us who get last minute request for a personal photo.

  1.  Current Behavior     1.1 Already imported photos (from device library → Lightroom)   Marked with an (Lr) icon in the import media grid. Prevents reimport and gives clarity.     1.2 Photos uploaded to Lightroom Cloud (but still present in iOS Photos / iCloud)   Not marked as “already available” in the import grid. App treats them as new import candidates even though they already exist in Lightroom Cloud. Leads to duplicate uploads and confusion.           2.  Problem     2.1 User confusion   Users can’t tell if a photo shown in the iOS import grid is:a) New and not yet in Lightroom Cloud,b) Already imported but not deleted locally.     2.2 Redundant uploads   Same file is reimported into Lightroom Cloud → wasted bandwidth and cloud storage.     2.3 Inefficient workflow   Users have no reliable orientation whether they can safely delete a photo from device sto

Hi at all!  I would like to propose to extend the voting and culling features for the LR online selection.  Synchronization with the cloud works most of the time perfectly fine and it is very easy to get customer feedback on your projects through likes and comments. However the functionality is limited to only those 2 options. It would be tremendously beneficial if there is a similar set of functions for the clients available in the public panel which is shared with the customers. Also the possibilty for filtering and advanced culling would help customers quite a bit if they have to reduce their selection. I am not sure on how the core mechanics are working with the synchronization, but I assume it should be possible to match meta-data with the shared portal. I'll attach a screenshot on how this could look like. 

I'd like to see LR Classic-like plugin support for things such as https://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies or https://www.negativelabpro.com/Primarily on Desktop, but if you can do it on Mobile and Web somehow, more power to ya. I know this past thread was marked as solved:https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-ideas/p-3rd-party-plugin-support-for-lightroom-desktop/idi-p/12355007 but it was really only for the round trip feature of editing raw files. Searching on  here is difficult so if an existing request exists, my apologies.

I believe the filter options need to be greatly expanded upon in Lightroom. Currently, the Filter options are:   Let me explain -- I do a lot of batch editing due to the nature of my photo work. In Lightroom, when filtering images, the "Edited?" filter currently only includes "yes" or "no". While I can think of several reasons and ways to expand, an example of how this impacts my typical workflow is that images that have been rotated are included in the "yes" filter, implying that "yes, this image has been edited".   I imagine the Filter options expanding to include many specific functions, relatively simliar to those we are able to choose when Copying Edits on an image. Here's that Copy Edits options menu -- imagine if when you wanted to Filter large batches of images, a similiar set of options appeared: Imagine being able to filter by if an image had the remove function used, or not. Or if images had been straightened, or not. I can't think of a photographer I know who wo

I have not found a way to search for FOLDER names, or ALBUM names in the new Lightroom CC. If a person has nested folders or nested albums there should be a way to search for keywords in the folder or album names.

Є побажання щоб була наступна функція - коли завантажуешь з фотоапарату фото (превью jpeg) в мобільний пристрій і відбувся відбір фото, то була б така синхронізація з настольним персональним компьютером при яком було б запропонованно програмою завантажити тільки відібрани ARW файли а не всі !!! ЦЕ ДУЖЕ СКОРОТИЛО Б ДО ОЧІКУВАННЯ ОТРМАННЯ  КІНЦЕВОГОРЕЗУЛЬТА

With the advanced possibilities of generative AI it would be awesome and relatively easily to have a tool/feature in Lightroom that automatically generates and fills in the blown-out parts of the highlights and/or lowlights in a picture. Blown out skies and textures in dark areas could be generated quite easily. Thus having fewer "failed" photos when exposure was set incorrectly. 

I am requesting an import filter in lightroom mobile in order to see which fotos have NOT been imported from my mobile device into lightroom. Currently I see all pictures including the ones which have been imported already
