When you summon the white balance selector tool (dropper icon) on mobile, it will spawn in the center of the image, regardless of where you're zoomed into on the image. You may for example zoom into a corner of the image which contains the WB sample you wish to use, but upon clicking the dropper icon, the tool will spawn off screen and you will not be able to select your WB sample. This would be better if the tool spawned in the center of the screen, instead of the center of the image. 

First, I'm sure that has been discussed, so feel free to point me to that conversation.   I am a professional photographer who shoots thousands of raws weekly. I keep ALL of my files and I don't mind paying for the external drives to do so.   As such, I fill up a couple of 4TB drives per year. These are all categorized, marked by date, and meticulously organized by client, location, project, etc in my Lightroom Classic catalog.   The problem? The new Lightroom, even with its local storage option, is completely useless to me. I LOVE the UI and would be very happy to migrate from Lightroom Classic, but making copies of my terabytes upon terabytes of files is asenine, and I have no desire to wait 5 years to upload them to the cloud.   Why can I not migrate my lightroom classic catalog to the the new lightroom without copying files, keep them on my drives, and keep all of my folders and metadata in the same structure?   If I can, please let me know how 🙂&nb

There should be a way to convert the file type within Lightroom.   I have some large .tiff and .psd files where I am done editing them and want to convert them to .jpeg to save space, since I will never need to edit them again. Currently, the only way to do this is to: 1) Export the .tiff/.psd file as a .jpeg. 2) Import the .jpeg into Lightroom. 3) Delete the .tiff/.psd file.   There should just be a simple step to convert the file within Lightroom without having to export and re-import.

Please enable the feature to set a password protection to open Lr on mobile devices and on PC/Mac.  A hidden album option would as well be appreciated. 

I used a shared "gallery” last year to allow me to share individual games with the parents of my grandson’s little league team. Each game would be a new album in the shared gallery.  It worked beautifully.  I shared one link at the beginning of the season and could easily add games as they went through the year as albums. The problem is when wanting to do the same thing this year I realized the gallery link is not unique.  In other words it remains the same whenever you enable a shared gallery.  Sure, I can change out the albums but anyone who had the link from the previous year would see this year’s pictures.  While in the context of Little League it’s probably not a big deal but I could see other applications where this would not be good. In the image below there should be an additional option to allow you to refresh the gallery link.  

I would like to see Photoshop's image detection feature added to Lightroom mobile (at least on powerful enough devices) for creating/modifying masks.

In "EDIT" tab the sorting options are how the should be. It is possible to sort by capture/import/modified date, name or rating.   In "GALLERY" tab the photos are sorted by god knows what and the segmentation funtion in pretty useless too.   Can the same soting options in EDIT be implemented to GALLERY as well please?   I'm using LR mainly on android tablets with latest android.   Thanks

1，Add text function. iPhone App editing photos does not have the function of adding text, so it is recommended to add this function.   2，Add mosaic function. iPhone App editing photos without adding mosaics. It is recommended to add mosaic function to the APP.

Can you please add to the "add border and share..." feature the border size "16x9" ratio? thanks a

Hallo, ich würde mir wünschen, dass Lightroom Mobile (für Android) GPX-Dateien importieren kann. Beispielsituation: Bei einem Foto-Ausflug um einen See herum werden an verschiedenen Standorten Fotos gemacht. Parallel wird mit einem Tracker eine GPX-Datei mit den Koordinaten und der Zeit generiert.   Aktuell muss ich, um den Fotos in Exif GPS-Standorte zuzuordnen, das Programm "GeoSetter" nutzen, das meine Anforderungen technisch gesehen innerhalb von 3 Minuten erfüllen kann. Leider funktioniert GeoSetter nur auf Windows-PC's und ist somit im Alltag eher unpraktisch.   Ich würde mir wünschen, dass es für diese Herausforderung irgendwann eine Funktion in Lightroom Mobile gibt, sodass ich die GPS-Standorte auch unterwegs in die Fotos schreiben kann.   Vielen herzlichen Dank!

Seems that Lightroom mobile doesn't use capabilities  of HDR display in HDR mode editing on OnePlus 12 (shows HDR in histogram as red and in info "HDR display not supported on this device"). As OnePlus 12 shoots "ProXDR" style of images natively and shows them, could this be possibly bringed to Lightroom mobile?

In Lightroom, it would be helpful to have a visual indicator on the photo thumbnails that shows whether a photo has been added to an album or not. Currently, the only way to check if a photo is in an album is by clicking on the photo and checking the info panel. This can be time-consuming when managing a large library of photos. Adding an icon or other visual cue to the photo thumbnails in the library view would make it much easier to quickly identify which photos have already been added to albums. I think this would greatly improve managing and organizing photos in Lightroom.

Hi,   Just an idea but if Lightroom (not Classic) supported file short cuts / aliases we could build our own file system based collections without having to duplicate the actual image and xmp files?

For video editing on mobile phone , I recommend actively using "clarity, dehaze, and mask tools" in Lightroom. We need realy it! 

Can we please have brightness feature in normal editing (thus, in non-HDR editing) 

Please show foto information directly on the preview of a foto in addition to the info panel on the right. At lease iPad LR CC shows if a foto is raw. I am talking about the feature which can be switched on in LR Classic CC by pressing "i" key

It would be great to add an option to disable Apple heavy handed HDR image processing when taking JPG format photos in Lightroom Camera.   If Apple camera doesn't allow it maybe a good way would to achieve this would be to temporarily save a DNG file and then converting it through the Adobe raw conversion engine.   I hate Apple image processing and would really love to take non HDR pictures without using so much storage space

Hey!   It would be extremely useful to have the option for exporting the files with the Custom name + Original file number name format (which is available on desktop versions such as Lightroom Classic CC)   As of now there is only custom name or original file options but no combination which is useful.   So requesting feature / improvement for export: Custom name + Original file number.

Hello, I don't have premium version of the app but I would if I get what I need. I don't know if this feature is already there in the app or not... I want to be able to crop videos(not to be confused with cutting video length)... What I mean is zooming into the video and saving it like that (with the same crop effect applied on all frames of the video).

Palm rejection on Lightroom should work the same as Fresco. 

I'm wondering if anyone has found a way to filter for images that are being edited with HDR enabled (ie, the HDR toggle). Currently, I can only find a file type > HDR filter. That just finds Lightroom-created images that are HDR composites—i.e., an auto-bracketed image shot and composited with the Lightroom camera, or multiple images manually bracketed and merged using Lightroom. It doesn't look at whether the photo is being edited in HDR, as they're ultimately two entirely different definitions of the term.   I realize this may just need to be a "stay better organized with keywords and albums" thing, and if so, all good. But it'd be useful if there's a way: I tend to edit them at least partly on my phone (better XDR screen), and will often end up with just one or two out of a largely SDR batch to run with HDR. I usually end up exporting them differently from the rest of the batch as well, given HDR + file format fussiness.   Anyone found anything, or have strategies

Hi there it would be nice to be able to get an overlay of the exposure information in iOS (speed, aperture, iso) in the details view.  Urgently you can only cycle between histogram and general info (date and such) but not the exposure info like you can in the grids view. thanks for listening.  Romain

I would value a darken, lighten or overlay blend mode for healing brush or cloning work. This would help in the editing out of horizon halos.

Hi, im using Lightroom on my pc as well on my iPhone. Over time, this program has become my standard. However, one or two functions are missing. One would be, for example, the possibility of using color gradients when editing the images on the mobile phone in order to give the images even more expression.

I have created multiple versions of the same image using Lightroom CC.  Is there a way of selecting two or more of these versions to display them side by side or horizontally above one another? This is easy to do in Lightroom classic using the virtual copy funtion, but I can not see how to do this in the CC version.
