Feature Requests

Feature request: Display live auto-selected shutter speed and ISO in Lightroom camera In the Lightroom camera (Pro mode) shutter speed and ISO can each be set to either Auto or a specific value. Current behaviour:If I set ISO manually, the interface shows the shutter speed the camera selects. If I set shutter speed manually, the interface shows the ISO the camera selects. However, when both ISO and shutter speed are set to Auto, neither value is shown. The selected values are also not shown when adjusting exposure compensation. This means that when using full Auto exposure it is not possible to see what shutter speed or ISO the camera is choosing before taking the photo. Please display the live metered shutter speed and ISO even when both are set to Auto, updating continuously as the meter changes. These are fundamental exposure parameters that most physical cameras display at all times. An even better implementation would be to display and lock the metered exposure values when the shu

I have several collections in Lightroom Classic on my desktop computer that are sorted in a custom order and sync to Lightroom Mobile. The order displays correctly in LR Mobile app on both my iPhone and iPad. But when I want to view the pictures on the LR app on apple tv, the sort order is not correct, even when i select "custom" on TV screen option next to the photos,   Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

The restriction seems arbitrary.  We should be able to do it.  Same with “Recently Added”  

As seems to be typical of Adobe, they will implement a “feature” that completely breaks things used previously. In Adobe Lightroom, I would like to request the “feature” of filenames in the custom filename field of the export settings to carry over the history of the most recently used name. This feature I am requesting is how this has worked for years, until the most recent “update”. It would be nice to not have to competely retype or copy and paste every time I export.  While you are at it, it would be a nice new feature to have a choice of custom set phrases I can click to “paste” what I would normally type in. IE: “set x” “item x” “branded” “ unbranded” etc. for use in a setting where one shoot will yield multiple photo sets to export with specific naming. It would also be thoughtful to have a toggle to allow LR to automatically add an incremented number in these custom phrases. 

After loading the photos from your SD card in the app, there should be a way to display the ratings selected in cameras. This way you would be able to select to import those photos you already know are good for work and development. I always rate the best photos I took in camera before start editing, because this way I can import them to Lightroom and save time working only in those I’ve ranked. 

Add tethered support to the Lightroom Desktop product

Applying more than one watermark simultaneously during a single export pass will be usefull in Adobe Lightroom Classic. Alternatives like plugin LR/Mogrify 2, needs rosetta on Mac and rosetta will be phased out soon.

I know that Lightroom allows me to move Presets to a different Group / Folder on an individual basis, but I have hundreds of Presets spread across multiple Groups.   I would like the ability to select multiple Presets to be able to move them to a different folder in bulk.

Please add a feature to mass select presets / import directly presets into groups. Having to individually select / move presets is tedious.  What is this? 1986 or 2026?

Hi there. I'm left-handed and i would like to use de Lightroom Mobile app as a left handed person, so i need to put the adjustment bar and another features to de left side of the screen of my tablet. Can anyone help me with that?     {Thread title edited by moderator}

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"

Of course, full support for scanned negatives will be lovely, including masks, dust and scratch removal, geometry enhancement, automatic rotation & cropping, and, why not, AI enhancements, etc. I also believe this option for scanned negatives will be a strong point for Adobe in supporting real photography and photographers, especially in the new AI era, where the future of photography is in a state of uncertainty.

When creating a Smart Album, the only boolean operator when using different search rules is AND. Other options typically available for computer searches are OR and NOT. This is what I would like from a smart album in LrD:People = John DoeORKeyword = John Doe However, this is the only option available now:People = John DoeANDKeyword = John Doe Attached is a screenshot showing AND being the only way to create a Smart Album when there is more than one rule.  

this is available on desktop, should be pretty easy to add for iPad. the big reason to use LR and PS is the easy integration, we desperately need this in LR iPadOS

Under “Distraction Removal,” the desktop version of Lightroom has automatic detection of dust spots (and other things, but that’s not why I’m writing in):This is an extremely useful time-saving feature.Unfortunately I do most of my editing on the go on an iPad Pro and these edits don’t transfer over to your photos when you view them on the iPad version of Lightroom. You’re invited to “update AI edits,” where the app tells you essentially that there’s a version mismatch between the canonical photo (w/ dust removed) and the one your iPad can load (because it doesn’t support dust removal), and tells you your only choice is to take away the dust removal:This is really bad for users and not how cloud software should work. My iPad has an M4 in it; it’s more powerful in performance terms than my desktop computer. At a minimum you should allow read-only loading of dust removal on the iPad. Please implement this on the iPad!

Hello Adobe Team! I´m the Chairman of FREELENS, a professional association for photographers in Germany with over 2000 members. We are currently dealing with the question of how we can protect our photos from being used as training material for AI image generators without authorisation. In Europe, this requires a machine-readable objection.The IPTC organisation has created a standard for this in the metadata:https://iptc.org/news/exclude-images-from-generative-ai-iptc-photo-metadata-standard-2023-1/There is therefore a "Data Mining" field in the metadata according to the IPTC standard with which you can object to data mining.However, this field cannot be filled out in either Lightroom or Photoshop; I have already been in contact with the support team about this.I would ask you to set this up as quickly as possible, as it is very important for us to be able to object in a legally secure manner.It would also be very helpful if we could talk about these issues and you could give me t

As in Classic, I would like to create a Smart Album of “Most Recent”, using the parameter “Last X months” or “Last X days”. Currently, we are limited to specific dates; e.g. “16 December 2025 to 16 February 2026”, which requires constant updating.  

Why have star ratings for contributors in shared albums not been added yet. It's been half a decade!Why has a feature, that has hundreds of forums posts about it, not been added yet?Why has a feature, that takes no more than a day to program, not been added yet?Why has a feature that is actually required within creative teams not been added yet?

Feature Request: Integration of Masking Selections into Generative RemoveThe ProblemCurrently, the Generative Remove tool operates in a silo. Even if a user has already generated a precise AI mask (e.g., Select Subject, Select Sky, or Objects) within the Masking panel, they must manually re-brush that same area using the Remove tool’s independent brush. This leads to: Redundant Effort: Painting a mask twice for the same object. Inaccuracy: Manual brushing is often less precise than the AI-powered "Select Subject" logic, leading to poor Generative AI fills. Proposed SolutionIntroduce a "Convert Mask to Remove" bridge. This could be implemented in two ways: From the Masking Panel: Add a "Remove with Generative AI" option to the "..." menu of any existing mask layer. Within the Remove Tool: Add a "Use Existing Mask" button that allows users to pick a selection (like Subject or Sky) as the source for the Generative Remove brush. Use Case ExampleA photographer wants to remove a distract

Please, please, please add the color calibration tool into Lightroom mobile!     I've mostly converted to editing on the iPad, but darn... just can't do without that tool for setting a global style to my images.

I have over 160k pictures in Lightroom.  I use my MacBook for most of the heavy lifting, but use my iPad extensively for browsing and making edits on the move.   I’ve used the Smart Album feature very heavily on my MacBook when it was introduced assuming it would soon come to IPad, but over a year later it’s still not.   One of the most vital pieces of working in an Ecosystem like Lightroom is the reliability of going device to device to find the picture in the same location.  But not having Smart Albums sync across devices, Lightroom as a photo organizer is no longer reliable.  

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!

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 added thousands of photos (other than those in Synced Catalogs) and now I cannot differentiate them other than by the standard filters provided because I have used color labels to identify certain criteria. Color labels are just as important as Flags, Please add them!
