Feature Requests

Hello all,   I have a feature request for Lightroom on iPhone and iPad: please implement the progress bars like they are also in Lr classic. An iPhone or iPad does not have a sandclock or spinning beach ball (like Mac) and there is also no fan on this devices. So you don't know how busy these are. Sometimes you don't know if the app is frozen and you have to kill it or if you just have to wait!  Progress bars for the different tasks would help.   please vote up!   thanks Sebastian 

Plss add sorting image with lens type and exposure info

I find it extremely annoying to use Stamp/Remove/Heal tool in mobile Lightroom app. When I try to mark desired area of my photo to stamp it, my finger is covering the areas I'm marking. So I don't see what I'm doing... It gets very hard especially when I want to be precise, so when I use very small brush. Very very annoying.   Why don't you update the app, so when using the brush tool with a finger, next to the zone which I touch with my finger,  a "cloud" with live preview appears, so I can see what I'm currently "brushing"?

I would like to extend the wonderful feature of being able to save images with the border so that it can be done also w multiple images. It could/should be set so that vertical/horisontal/squarded automatically get their correct dimensions/alignment so that non landscape/portrait are both treated like only landscape or vice versa!   I'd also love being able to put a white border to the fullscale saving feature...like it was in the old days. (When it also had month and year "May • 67" (super-useful when sorting old images)   don't know if this is the eight forum for improvement suggestions, if not maybe someone could help me take it to the right people!!   Regards,   Johan

Right now, if I have a photo that is received/edited in an app, I can "share" it to "import to lightroom", and then it is added to the "all photos" category, then I can go and add that photo to a specific album. If this is done for a large number of photos, this can be difficult to do.    Idea: ability to "add to album" directly -- it will open lightroom, and pop up a dialog "What album to add this to?". Or at minimum, allow a variable to the "import photos to lightroom" shortcut.    Several other apps support this functionality via "shortcuts" automations, however lightroom doesn't currently. Right now, the only parameter to a "Import Photos to Lightroom" shortcut is to "apply preset", it doesn't accept an album name or have an option for an album selector.   

Can't save edits in versions manually, in lightroom mobile? Why doesn't the button, that let's you pause auto sync, also let you manually quick save the current edit, to retrieve in versions?  I closed lightroom like 3 times tonight because I kept getting so frustrated. I couldn't save my versions manually to look back at different edits, choose the one I want, and delete the others, like to with a multi check box select. It only saves an edit to versions when it wants to.

I accidentally deleted a preset today. I went to a photo, didn't like the preset on the photo, selected delete, and it deleted my preset. I purchased and downloaded this preset in July 2021. There is no way I am getting the preset back from whereever I purchased it from. Then I contacted Adobe Lightroom and it is gone forever with absolutely no way of restoring it. I have been using a series of presets very similar to this one since July 2021. I am not sure what changed, or what happened, but this absolutely should not be a feature available with no option of restoring it.    The change I would like to propose - is be to restore a preset from a trash bin or the like. 

Please can 'Badge Overlays' in Grid View as available in Lightroom Classic and Lightroom on the web be brought to the new Lightroom CC client?  This will make it a LOT easier to review picked and rejected photos in context of the rest of the album.

Versions are good but very awkward on iPad. They require a lot of tapping around in the UI to get very small tasks done which make them a very casual feature and far less usefull than what they could be.    What I'd like to see are keybaord shortcuts (and potentially gesture shortcuts): - Open the versions picker in normal mode - Open the versions picker in 'named' mode - Create a named version (even when the picker is closed)  - Cycle through previous/next (named) versions   We can't duplicate photos or create variants on mobile yet and the advise is to use versions instead, but those keyboard shortcuts are urgently needed to consider them more as part of a normal workflow 

Abro lightroom; abro una carpeta, voy al album donde se encuentra la sesión en la que deseo trabajar y abro una foto.  Selecciono un perfil de color, aplico las correcciones de lente y empiezo a trabajar con las máscaras inteligentes.  Con ellas trabajo sobre el sujeto y sobre el fondo; aplico correcciones de lus, color, detalle y efectos y cuando estoy conforme guardo los resultados.  Luego aplico algunos ajustes sobre la imágen general y procedo a crear un ajuste pre establecido con todos los aspectos (Por si lo necesito luego) y copio todos los ajustes incluidas las máscaras aplicadas sobre la imágen. Salgo de la fotografía sobre la que estaba trabajando, selecciono todo el lote de imágenes y pego los ajustes recien copiados; en este punto la aplicación se pone a trabajar y luego de un rato me dice que todos los ajustes se han aplicado a las fotos.  El problema es que no computa las máscaras de forma automática lo cuál vuelve el ejercicio de edición anterior un p

Lr Android 8.3.1 introduced a new drop-down menu for undo, redo, versions, and reset. With this change comes the addition of an extra tap to undo - first you have to drop down the menu, then tap the undo. To me, this was particularly jarring because the menu's icon changes to "Undo" when you perform an action that can be undone, but tapping it doesn't actually undo anymore.   Personally, I appreciate having all of these icons in a logical "history" grouping, but another part of me really doesn't like that now we have to tap into a menu just to do a simple undo -- previously, this was just a single tap and done. I use undo a lot, especially when messing around with presets and profiles.   I am curious to know how other users of Lr Android feel about this change. Does it bug you as much as it bugs me?  

Ok, this is just an idea... I've just installed the Lightroom (I always used the LR Classic) and I was playing with the HDR feature... I have a lot of questions! (bad english spoiler) 1. What is the best export format? I tried the avif, but I can't see on my iPhone or with finder on my Mac. I can't share an hdr photo on instagram for example, the avif file doesn't upload well 2. This is the idea... Is it possible to export the "View HDR" mask as a "mask", alpha channel or something like that? I'm thinking on print it or cut a MDF to put light behind the print, what do you think?

lightroom cc 2019 add photo button greyed out. I cant import photo

Adobe needs to add in iOS LrMobile an easy access to mask -> background. This requires more clicks then necessary as you need to invert every time eg. the motiv. Enough space is availiable to easily add that important mask. 

One of the fastest way for me to cull albums on Lightroom Classic, is the caps-lock "on" flagging feature. When Caps-Lock is on, you can just fly through the album by using "u", "p" and "x".Also many of the keyboard shortcuts, such as + & - to adjust say "exposure" doesn't work at all in the Lightroom Cloud app.  Why isn't this implemented in the Lightroom Cloud, nor the Lightroom Web? Also occasionally on apple m2, the arrow key to advance to next photo wont work until restart. 

I would love to be able to filter by lens type, similar to how you can filter by camera body. Would make it easy to see all photos taken with my 50mm, 23mm, 90mm etc. at a glance. Would also want to be able to see my raw vs JPEG files without the cumbersome searching of “.jpeg” in the search bar.

Please make it possible to close the Schreen or exit the app while exporting, without the export to stop. It is really annoying to sit and wait and watch as the photos are exported.

  I'm hoping it's a bug not a conscious decision to remove the hashmarks a attempt to show in my screenshot because it decreases the utility of the histogram tool. Please re-enable whatever the case and thanks very much. 

Hi, If i do screen mirroring from my iPad to OLED TV (using apple airplay), with Apple Photos App i am getting HDR brightness for presented picture, even this picture was exported from lightroom to Apple Photos App.  However, if i see Lightroomw App using same screen mirroring, no HDR is visibleon presented Lightroom pictures.  It would be nice for HDR support over screen mirroring for Lightroom App, at least for presenting photos. Laci..

We really need an option to input tezmxt overlays in adobe lightroom for phones

When selecting photos to import on mobile or desktop flags which have been assigned in-camera (Sony A7RIII) are not visible on-screen. Once the photos are in my library the flags are visible but if they were visible on the import screen it would allow users to avoid importing unnecessary images. 

Option to have just the DNG file after using the tool, instead of the duplicate stacked together.   Tool to be available on mobile application.   Option to have it automatically pick what level of noice reduction to process ( speed up workflow ) & on top of that being able to select multiple files to have the effect applied to.   Thank you, hope to see these features considered and added soon 🙂  

  Greetings. I would like to write a suggestion/idea for improvement in the case of sliding controls. Would it not be possible to have a haptic response using a light vibration and to scale one step at a time. It would perhaps be easier and more accurate to manipulate the sliders. Now it happens to me quite often with the S-PEN that when scrolling down the menu, I accidentally pull a slider that I don't want to pull. There are unnecessary steps back in editing. Thank you, good luck. You are doing a great job.        

There are instances when Lightroom Mobile might crash either due to low ram or storage. This might happen while you're saving 100+ for a wedding shoot and you discover that only 60 out of 100 were saved before it crashed. The only way would be to start all over and save all 100 images again though you already saved 60 because you have no clue what got saved and what didn't. It's a process. SOLUTION : Develop the Lightroom Mobile app so that there are indications of images saved from the app. For example there could be a blue box with tick on a photo already saved to the device gallery right inside the app. So if the app crashes you'd know which ones didn't save to the device and you'll continue where you left off. Please try to do something about this issue. I'm pretty sure its a hindrance to many creators out there. 

I wish Adobe would create a "LR View" only app for mobile devices. No edits, no additions, no deletions or downloads. Such an app would be perfect for my spouse, other family members and friends that I give access to. Arend
