I provide captioned photos to my editorial clients. A shoot may share the location and event info, in the caption, and different photos may have different people/subjects that need to be identifiable with their names. I can do that in Lightroom Classic. But in Lightroom Cloud based the "Caption" field is only one line. Making coping pasting a paragraph of text with the event info on the whole shoot and typing the sujects' names really hard. It does not allow checking fro line breakes either. Most editorial photographers need to provide captions that describe what/where/who and include the photographer's name for the credit in the caption field. Unexplicably the "Caption" box in LR is only one line. I understand that for the "Title"  field, that is usually just one line/headline. "The recent LRC 13.3 update has been problematic for me, with terribly slow and buggy performance. SO I tried to use LR as an alternative, but the inability to properly and quickly

Hi everybody,Lightroom mobile is shaping up nicely getting new functionalities and I find myself using it more and more often these days.One features I would love to see added is support for casting to our shiny big TV:- Chromecast (Android & iOS)- Airplay (iOS)What do you think?Thanks for your feedback.Best regards,Arnauld.

Adding left/right swiping to navigate back and forward in Adobe Lightroom on mobile devices would greatly enhance the user experience and streamline the editing workflow. With a swipe gesture, users could effortlessly move back saving time and reducing the need for trying to tap the backwards arrow, which can be missed requiring additional taps to get back. This interaction would provide a fluid and natural way to navigate, empowering users to focus more on their creative process and make quick adjustments on the go. It's all about convenience and efficiency, making editing in Lightroom a seamless and enjoyable experience for mobile users.

I store tens of thousands of images in the cloud using Lightroom CC and have also made a local copy using Lightroom CC.  I used a plugin with Adobe Bridge 2024 to write each image's filename to the IPTC Title Field (so that each image can be identified in my Adobe Portfolio website) and now want to sync the local copy metadata changes back to the colud files.  Adobe support told me this is not possible so I am posting it as a suggested addition because certain Bridge plugins allow mass metadata changes that are not possible to make image by image.

I would like to be able to rename individual image file names when offline in Lightroom.

In LR for iPad and also the one for iPhone, thumbnails are blurry when zoomed to larger thumbnails.  Is there a way to get it to render the larger thumbnails to maximum resolution?

It is strange that LR on iPad can show camera settings in the top left corner, but the macOS version can't. And there's certainly space for it, much more than on the iPhone.  Also, what is the point of having stars and ratings when you can't see them in the filmstrip? There needs to be a view option which turns all of this view settings on and off.    Also, slightly apart from the topic, but it's very buggy when I stary searching while in fullscreen view on Mac. Then I can't remove the focus from the search bar and my shortcuts don't work anymore (they are typed instead of triggered). I have to exit fullscreen and go back in. Note this is the Mac fullscreen mode when the whole app is in full screen, rather than LR's fullscreen when you have pressed the F key. 

I would like to request that Adobe put the auto advance feature in Lightroom as it is in Lightroom Classic. I miss this feature when "picking" and "rejecting" photots.

DESCRIPTION:   I would like to be able to select which preset is applied when importing images into LR on iPad.  Currently this is an option in "app settings" only in the LR iPadOS app.    This would be similar to the implementation in LrC where there is an option to select a preset in the import dialog in the  "Apply During Import" section.   BENEFIT: The benefit is that we would be able to select which preset (e.g. to reflect different cameras / noise reduction settings / film simulations, or for B/W vs color) to apply at the time of importing new images.  Having this option in the import dialog box avoids having to go into "app settings" for each image import.

Right now, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Classic lets you assign a thumbnail image (or a frame) to a video, but Lightroom (the cloud version) doesn't have this feature. It would be really helpful for organizing my videos and my family if Lightroom could do this too. I think it would be a great addition to the app, and hopefully, it can be added in a future update.

I cant zoom in and out by touchpad on my magic keyboard. Please fix it

Please add a setting for the default sort order. Every Lightroom app (Classic or Cloud ecosystem) should have a setting for the default sort order of an album. And every device should stick to this default sort order.  I have a sore index finger from constantly changing the sort order in every album on every device.

Would really like the very simple addition of your flagged photos showing that flag while in album view, on android. It's has had this since the beginning.   When your in an album, showing all the thumbnails of photos. It's has where if it's flagged rejected, the photo is grayed, and if flagged it shows the tiny white flag on it. Like on the thumbnail.   When colming through thousands of photos for an event, on its you can literally see where you left off and jump right in. Android, you must leave album view and go onto a single photo, have info and rating selected, and then just keep scrolling just keep scrolling, until you finally see where rejected stops and you can finally continue.   This makes it so time consuming it sometimes literally takes longer to find where I left off than the time I even have available to colm through.   Literally, only reason I have an iPad, just this 1 feature, literally questioning on1 route just so I can be done with this.

Please add the ability to scroll through presets in Lightroom using the arrow keys. This would allow for quick and easy previewing of different presets. Example: In Photoshop, you can click on a font and use the arrow keys to scroll through and preview different fonts. Implementing this feature in Lightroom would greatly enhance the preset navigation workflow. Me and my colleagues have been waiting for this feature for years. Can't believe in 2024 we still don't have it? For those of us who have many presets we find it very annoying to have to hover over each preset with the mouse instead of quick scrolling with up and down arrow keys.

Hi Team, Can someone please explain what the lightroom team photos album is used for? what photos do I need to add? Thank you, Phillip

I would love to have the ability to apply the Lens Blur effect to multiple images at once, through either copy & paste or stored in a preset. This would significantly reduce my editing time.   Thanks,  Jack.

Hi,   I'm using Lightroom (not Classic) on Windows 11 with Photo Mechanic.   When I update metadata in PM, for example a star rating the change is not reflected in LR.   I've checked the xmp file and it's being correctly updated.   I've tried clearing the LR cache.   If I make an update in LR then PM sees it without issue.   If I restart LR then the correct metadata is displayed.   Is there a way for LR to automatically watch xmp files or at least perform a re-read if the image is selected?   Thanks.

Hi,   I've found that if a file is passed to Lightroom from Photo Mechanic for example then there is no option to process that file locally, it needs to be synced to the cloud.   As Local Mode has now been introduced it would be nice to be able to process passed files locally?   Thanks.

Hi! Is there a way to export the same image to several iPhone shared albums at once? Can I export to a shared album and save the image my iPhone's camera roll at the same time? I am currently having to do a different export process for each destination. Thanks!   Jason

Having to export full DNG files to get edits and metadata is very cumbersome, especially for someone working from an iPad to desktop workflow. Please add the ability to export just the XMP sidecar files. Cloud syncing is limited when traveling abroad (a recent work trip resulted in 300gb of photos that the hotel wifi was not cooperative with) and it would be so much faster when moving from one device to another.   Example of how a workflow with XMP support would work: Copy RAW files to iPad Pro, backup to external hard drive, import to LR Mobile, cull and edit, export XMPs to external drive alongside RAW files, import to Lightroom Classic upon return from trip.   Currently I either have to wait until I get back to the desktop setup to cull and edit, or I have to duplicate a bunch of RAW files as DNGs in the meantime, essentially doubling the space necessary for file storage on the go.    Cloud storage and sync is not a good option for traveling abroad where internet

Could we have an option to auto stack images by a number (by 3's, 5's, etc) in addition to time in between?

While editing hundreds of wedding photos though the years I use to add a sphere shaped "radial filter" adding a higher exposure to the couples faces (I think it looks better than vignetting).   If I add a centered sphere in a landscape photo and then batch the same settings onto the next 50 photos all editing will be copied but the sphere will become and ellipse in att the portrait photos..    The customer service gave me this answer: What you are encountering is the normal working feature in the Lightroom since again as I mentioned both the image you are taking for comparison are different proportions where one is horizontal and other is vertical and radial filter circle that is created on the horizontal image is based on the size and position on the horizontal image. So if your positional for circular radial filter is at the center of the image in horizontal image when you copy and paste this setting to horizontal image this position settings is also copied to vertical

1. Mirror front camera option on the in-app camera  2. create iOS shortcuts, specifically one that automatically opens the front camera of the in-camera app

In Lightroom Classic, there used to be an option to only import RAW files and use Jpegs only as smart previews, if I recall correctly. It is kind of confusing that this feature is missing from Lightroom CC. You have to import everything from a card or a camera, or you would have to manually select raw files only in the "review for import" window.   I am aware of the workaround where you filter out jpegs in the regular finder/explorer import dialogue window, but this only works with memory cards. If you connect the camera directly to your PC, it doesn't support multi-select through the explorer dialogue, so the user is out of luck. The only way then is to first copy all the RAW files to local storage and then import them into Lightroom, which is an incredible hassle for something that should honestly be an absolutely normal function of the software out of the box. If there were at least some sorting options in the review for import dialogue, the user could at least sort the files b
