Feature Requests

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

写真の回転が時計回りしかできないのは不便です。毎回、ボタンを３回押さなければなりません。反時計回りのボタンを作ってください。

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.  

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!

When sharing an album with others please allow all liked/commented on photos to be viewed in a separate sub-album for both parties. This would be extremely helpful, especially in cases with hundreds of photos. 

When using the sliders, the feel is dead. I would like either a haptic feedback or a snapping to each change or increment in the ISO and shutter speed. I strongly think this will give a better feel for using the app without looking at the screen for whatever the reason may be. Any sort of feedback just feels natural and this will surely be a good option to have. 

Hallo, ich würde mir bei Lightroom Cloud eine Dauerhafte Info-Overlay wünschen. Mich nervt es, wenn ich jedes Mal auf "Info" klicken muss, damit ich die Blende, Iso, etc. ansehen muss. Optimal wäre es unten im Bildschirm, evtl neben den Sternen.   Viele Grüße   Andreas Huber

When editing in Lightroom Cloudy (Detail view) it would be nice to see some basic image data as an overlay -similar to Classic. At present, we don’t even know if we’re editing raw of jpeg without having to leave Editing, open Info then return to Editing.

Since LR has this option in the latest version on desktop, it would be great to add tone curves inside masking tools on iPad as well. 

-love the app...can you consider giving us the golden spiral overlay for cropping? thanks keep up the fabulous work!

Allow bulk "Update Ai Edits" for Lightroom Mobile. Context:I was bulk editing a set of photos. I did this by selecting the photos and pasting the settings.When I attempted to bulk download these edited photos, the app prompts that the photos need to have "Update Ai Edits" performed.  Doing the "Update Ai Edits" is tedious, hence this feature request.

When editing photos in Lightroom mobile on iOS it would be great if we could organize edits into folders. This would help to better organize photos in the edit area instead of organizing them by date or keywords. 

still no super resolution for the iPad mobile versions this is completely unacceptable. 

On the desktop version of Lightroom, HDR images can be saved in PNG and various other formats; however, this functionality is not presently available on the Android platform. Implementing this feature on mobile devices would be a valuable enhancement.

The mobile app is powerful for color grading, but the absence of a text feature even in the premium plan limits workflow for many creators. Please consider adding a built-in text tool. It would be a huge upgrade! 📌
