Feature Requests

In a similar way that the desktop application manages print preparation, the mobile app should provide for improved social media prep.   Features that might be useful include  Image frames  Actually posting? Image splitting (panorama split across multiple)   This seems like a pretty straightforward and helpful feature for a lot of mobile users.

Imagine 5 photographers, collaborating on a book for example: clustered around an actual light table with slides, everyone would be able to shift images in the sequence or groupings.  With shared albums (collections) I know I can share with permission to edit and contribute; does this extend to custom order? Would everyone see the same order that each other would display? (Obviously not simultaneously, but perhaps "live"? Or is there another app that facilitates this kind of live interaction? If you've solved this kind of live collaborative workflow - how did you do it?   Thanks.

It would be great if the desktop app showed the # of photos associated with each keyword, just like the mobile app does.  

Something that may be super simple and just pure convenience. I would love it if I could reset my indevidual curves chanel but just double clicking on ech chanel color icon. This way I wouldn't need to click into each chanel and remove each point.

My previous setup was like this:X-T1 + lightroom 6 + loupedeckafter upgrading to X-T3 my lightroom 6 turned out to be outdated so I upgraded to lightroom CCbut now loupedeck is not working at all, and here is a statement from that company:Currently only Classic CC is supported due to the way Adobe has constructed their software. Lightroom CC does not have the required framework to support SDK or extended plugin support. We would love to support Lr CC but at this given moment it is not possible.It would be great if my loupedeck can work out of the box with CC on desktop for windows 🙂

It would be extremely helpful to add possibility to perform this annoying task of date time capture adjustment also on Lightroom web based interface https://lightroom.adobe.com/It's an annoying task I perform sometimes on different device where I don't have Lighroom Classic neither Lightroom CC installed. It would be a specific, restricted, isolated feature task I would really love to do everywhere I'm connected thru a browser on Lightroom web. Could you make it possible?🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺 Thanks!

Issue:  When I have an album loaded for editing, I will select "Store Locally" as well as make sure that "Only download smart previews" is not selected to ensure I have downloaded the original pictures.   When I start editing the pictures (34MP RAW from a Canon R7), Lightroom will take ~3-4 seconds to load the picture.  I can see the Image type in the info panel change from "Preview" to "Smart Preview" to "Original".  If I've downloaded and processed the original pictures, Lightroom should load the Original copy automatically.    There should be a method to force Lightroom to render these pictures all at once, much like "Generate 1:1 Previews" exists in Lightroom Classic.   If I swipe from Picture 100 to Picture 101 and back again to Picture 100, the load from Preview to Original is almost instant, as it should be.     Device: 5th-gen M1 12.9" iPad Pro - Model# MHNW3LL/A Lightroom Version: v. 9.2.2 47FEED/137 iPadOS Version: 17.4.1

Please add selective edit auto-mask

Idk if it's just me, but it's damn near impossible to get the correct image rotation with the rotation wheel. Every time I pull my finger off it throws the wheel off around a half-degree. 99% of the time I am rotating an image under 1 degree, so this is super annoying and I end up just shooting darts until I get lucky and it lands close to where I want.   This could be solved by just adding manual value entry. Another idea, is largely weighting the wheel to under 2°, so that you have to rotate it much further at the start, and then it can ramp up as the values get higher. Again, idk if it's just me, but RARELY am I ever rotating an image more than 1 or 2 degrees.

Feature request  - upgrade the business capabilities of the share a link function. It would be great if there were more client, communication tools, analytics, and notifications a real client center portal. -  integrations with CRM like Salesforce and Hubspot and other tools. - Maybe merge some of the frame.io. features  -  maybe plug ins for financial transactions using the client portal (potential new revenue source for y'all).  

Using the current Lightroom CC app for Android the gallery tab only allows you to delete photos when you long press. It'd be great to have the same ability to sort & cull images locally as the lightroom tab. At the very least an option to delete the photo when I've got it open full screen. Thanks!

A lot of peoples' computers are too slow to run lightroom classic so they have to resort to the website version which is pretty far behind Lightroom Classic. All I'm hoping for is the option to add Watermarks in the website version. Thank you!

It would be quite useful to be able to add notes to albums.For example, what film was being used, the weather, lens data, etc. I know there are some metadata options on individual images, but oftentimes I group photos with similar characteristics into albums and I am sure I'm not the only one. So having the ability to add notes to those albums with info would be huge. Thanks!

It'd be nice to have curves for video editing like there is for photos.  

"Not In An Album" would help me sort through the mass of the unsorted a whole lot. When I'm creating albums from the mass of unsorted photos with zero metadata context because they're all film scans it's not simple because I have to sift through everything for each album. I want to assign each photo to an album once, and flick down the list of the un-albumed until they are gone and everything is assuredly in an album. Thanks. 

We need LAB values displayed on Histagram like Lightroom Classic. It is important especially for portrait photographers as we need to get correct exposure and skin tone. Please consider adding this feature to cloud ecosystem. 

  I have a new feature suggestion - when using Healing tool (Q), there is no option to twist a new layer of healing tool. I would like to remove something with round edges and can not copy due to uneven lines. But if we could twist it (like it is possible with Linnear Gradient for example), then we could have a line that is natural to its shape. Just a tiny option of horizontal turn/twist could help when Healing must be added at the uneven edges. Thank you ❤️  

Hi,   another issue driving me nuts is that the editor does not remember the set aspect ratio. Thus if I want to readjust the selection, everytime I have to select the aspect ratio again. Over and over...   Please give us: a) A default you can set for all images (free aspect ration should be a valid choice for that too). b) For each image the option that the aspect ratio should be remembered until the next edit. It would already be a big improvement if it would be remembered during the current editing session.   I'd very much appreciate thise improvements.      

Hi,   You first sweep through the shots from a session in Rate & Review, and then start working on the selected ones in Edit. But I quite frequently have the need to adjust the ratings during editing, for example when a shot doesn't work out after all and need to be dropped from the selected picks.  It's clumsy to swich mode to Rate & Review to do this, and then back to Edit. Rate & Review provides the ability to change the star rating and flags by swiping up and down in the left and right parts of the picture. These gestures does as far as I can see not conflict with anything in the Edit mode, except when using tools like Crop or Masking. I propose adding these gestures to the Edit mode in all tools that doen't use gestures in the picture.    Micke   My device: Lightroom version 8.5.1 on Galaxy S22+, Android 13, UI 5.1

Suggestion from Lightroom fan here. The majority of the editing tools appear the bottom of the interface for Lightroom iOS, but the undo button appears at the top of the screen which feels very clunky when quickly making edits and undoing them. It would feel more intuitive to have the undo button at the bottom near the rest of the editing tools.    many thanks carls 

I love the option for an auto add photos, but I use a secondary service for tethering on mobile and I would love a way to change the auto import file location for iOS.  Specifically have a draw folder with organized subfolders.  I'm trying not to have duplicates continuously loading and unloading from the photo app on iOS and would rather have a folder that they would go into instead, then a single export at the end into my photos to share or send places. This would also help me in organizing when I only want to pull a single photo or two from a set to quickly edit and be able to move the whole folder over to my computer. I know there are cloud options for file sharing but I'm trying to give myself an option without any signal services for transferring that way.

Zero options to add audio to videos. There needs to be a feature to add your own audio to videos. I won't pay 5 bucks a month and not have the access or availability to do this.  It's that simple. 

When is adobe going to add export keyboard shortcut and other usefull functions via keyboard keys?    I recently edited a batch of work on my mac and opened lightroom cloud there, and realized how easy and quick having keyboard shortcuts. I've been using my ipad pro for work flow and been hoping for such keyboard shortcuts to come to the ipad pro lightroom cloud as well.

Color channel swapping is frequently used for editing pictures on infrared photos. Would be awesome if light room had this! I know you can in Photoshop, but mobile Photoshop doesn't have this, and would be nice to stay in one app anyways.   Also on mobile, haven't tested on desktop yet, but when you open IR raw files that have a white balance less than 2000 Lightroom sets the white balance to 2000 and won't let you even set it back to normal. IIRC there is a workaround on desktop by creating some profile but none on desktop.   Would be nice if on mobile somehow you could set the white balance below 2000

Simple as that. Time and time again I can get the geometry PERFECT except I need to skew the image slightly to make the horizontals and verticals 90 degrees. I can't think of any reason why this would be difficult or impossible, and I'm frankly supprised it's not already an option. Maybe there's a "skew Horizontal" and "Skew Vertical?" Alternately, you could just include a perspective warp tool in lightroom geometry, which I think would be even better.
