Feature Requests

I am writing to express my appreciation for Adobe Lightroom, which remains one of the most reliable and innovative tools for photo editing. The app’s design, efficiency, and continuous improvement have made it an essential platform for creators of all levels.I would like to share a suggestion that could further enhance the user experience. Currently, advanced features such as Masking, Background Removal, and Actions are available only to premium users. It would be highly beneficial if free users could access these features on a limited daily basis (for example, 5 or 6 edits per day).Allowing limited daily use would help users build a stronger connection with Lightroom and encourage long-term engagement, instead of feeling distanced from the app due to unavailable features. Over time, this familiarity could also motivate more users to upgrade to premium.Additionally, I suggest maintaining a dedicated feature preview page within the app—where users can view, understand, and test the resu

E.g. negating search parameters such as a certain person is NOT found in these pictures

I can't remember the last time I ever had to worry about duplicates but recently I imported pictures manually from my camera roll and it clearly has imported hundreds of duplicates (with identical filenames mind you). This exclusively happened to HEIC and JPGs from my iPhone's camera roll so it feels like a bug specific to iOS perhaps.   All this brings up the very odd choice of not offering the same deduplicate feature available within the import flow *after* the images are already in the library. In my case, that's hundreds of photos I have to hunt for manually, when the process would be instantaneous if the dupe finder was available outside of the import flow.    It would also be incredibly useful to be able to group photos from the library that are not *quite* duplicates but very identical (think bursts or multiple edits of the same shot) and allow me to find them, pick the ones I want to keep and either delete or mark the others as rejected.    I'm not qui

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"

I work with 1000's of pictures at a time. I process images in bulk, as many are under similar lighting conditions. When I copy the edit settings from 1 pic and paste them throughout a batch, I have to wait for the process to complete before I can start my next pasting job. Could you build a feature that stores "copy/paste" settings in, say, five or more 'slots' of 'copy/paste memory' so I can run several batch pasting processes in async mode? I see that "Export" and "Paste" operations can run in parallel. Multiple export sessions can also run in parallel. Something similar for "Paste" would be nice.

Enjoying the new CC for the most part, but one of the concerns I've got so far is that some of my most-used keyboard shortcuts have been changed.For instance, I used to quickly cruise through new imports and use the Pick flag shortcut to find my selects. This used to be a very intuitive key—P—but in LR CC it's now...Z. And there's no way that I've found to change it back.Could we please have configurable keyboard shortcuts? Or at least some sort of legacy mode so our muscle memory is still effective in the new environment?

Lightroom offers advanced AI-driven features like auto-editing, culling, and stacking. My aim is to use Lightroom as my sole program for reviewing and editing local photos, eliminating the need for both Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. Here are the Lightroom features I need to fully switch from Adobe Bridge:   Allow adjustment of the Info Panel (I) width, similar to how we can resize the Photos Panel (P). Make it possible to display the filmstrip across the entire bottom of Lightroom while keeping both the Info Panel and the Photos Panel open, mirroring the modular panel functionality in Adobe Bridge. Improve the display of long filenames when viewing local files in Zoom mode (spacebar), possibly by showing the full name underneath the photo. Support importing local folder structures (and their photos) into Albums. Enable exporting the Cloud Albums folder structure (and photos) locally without relying on the destructive Archive Folder Locally feature. Provide "Stacks" functionality fo

I can't find a specific feature request that exists for this (there is a discussion thread here, but it is marked as "solved" with a link to a totally unrelated feature).   I often want to share a photo from my library in Slack, imessages, e-mail, etc., and the easiest workflow on Mac these days for most apps is to be able to copy (cmd-C) the image and paste it into the other app. Dragging the photo to the other app is a nice alternative (though one I use less often).   For desktop lightroom, the best solution seems to be one of: 1. * export photo * drag the photo from Finder to the app of your choice * delete the photo when done   2. * cmd-ctrl-4 (for cropped screengrab) and drag the rectangle to match the edges of the photo as best you can * paste poorly compressed photo into app of your choice (I just did it on a photo covering less than half my screen, and it resulted in a 25.4 MB file)   Surely it wouldn't be that hard to integrate Lightroom into the copy-

How do I display file names in grid display for the cloud based Lightroom CC on my desktop?   I see how to do this on the mobile version, but I'm not having any luck on the desktop one.  ThanksSteve

I would propose to either change or remove the presentation option in LR mobile. I presume it is meant to show pictures as a kind of slideshow or comparable to a photoframe but showing pictures at a rate of 60 pictures a minute does have an unhealthy impact on the human brain. If you look at pictures changing every second you will get overstimulated,  and it may cause headaches and sleeping problems. That has been proven in psychological studies. Please make this option 'presentation' presentable in a way photos can be enjoyed again

Hey. I see and use Quick Actions on my Android but do not see it in LR on my iPad Pro. I gather it is not available yet. Does anyone have any inside gos as to when that could happen. It's make or break for me. Thanks  Andy

Using Lr cc, and I would like to add GPS coordinates to multiple images. I'm copying the coords from Google maps but can only paste it into the GPS field one image at a time. Is there a way of adding it to multiple photos taken at the same location?

Now that Adobe is committing to LR Mobile, it would be great if LR had better support for comments and likes:- Ability to filter and search in smart collections for comments and likes. The Sort: Last Comment Time is helpful but not sufficient -- it only works with collections synced with LR Cloud, and you can only sort one collection at time (huh??).- The same support for other publish services like Flickr that also sync user comments. Why did Adobe implement Last Comment Time and comment notifications just for LR Mobile? The underlying structure is already there to implement it for the other services as well. These other services have a diversity of features that many users find valuable and that are unlikely to ever appear in LR Mobile, so asking them to switch to LR Mobile just to get the trivial ability to sort by comment time is frustrating.- SDK access to the comments and likes, so that plugins can manipulate that metadata just like they have the ability to manipulate other metad

It would be helpful if when identifying a person in Lightroom, it would be able to be recognize various parts of the body more specifically insted of assuming the human is not a person once they are wearinng wings, or other items of clothing. I am in fashion and lengerie and wings make it diffuicult for ai to adjust. and masking doesn;t always identify a person when they are wearing wings or other unique items of clothing. OrahsPlayHouse

Buongiorno a tutti, non riesco a collegare in tethering la Leica SL3S al Mac con Lightroom Classic aggiornato all'ultima versione. qualcuno c'è riuscito? grazie  

I'd love to see some sort of intelligent auto stacking in Lightroom CC.

It would be incredibly useful to have the auto stacking by capture time ported over from Lightroom Classic into the cloud version, at least on desktop. Many people still shoot in JPEG+RAW, and this relatively simple organisational tool can be a great help. Even better would be the ability to choose a max capture time delta to stack by, since that would also help organise burst shots.

Hey Adobe Team,   It’d be amazing to have the option to change folder icon colors in Lightroom Mobile! Right now, every folder looks the same grey, and when you’ve got a ton of projects, it’s easy to lose track.   Being able to assign colors (even just a few presets) would make organizing and finding folders way faster and more intuitive. It’s a small tweak that could make a huge difference for anyone managing multiple shoots or collections.   I would love to see this added in a future update! Thanks! 😊    

I would like to be able to share a whole Catalog/Library of Albums with another Lightroom CC user, that also allows them to upload/edit/share (dependant on restrictions).   At the same time I would like other sets of Albums in another Catalog/Library from being included.   This was a great feature in Adobe Revel and would like to see, at least similar, in Lightroom Cloud (although can understand it may not sync well with Classic... but what does?!)

Please allow for image "stacks" or "groups" on Lightroom for iPad. This would be relevant for (at least) the following workflow:   * Maintaining copies of both Raw and JPG images alongside each other, without seeing the images twice in the catalog; also, allows you to reject/accept both Raw and JPG forms in a single step. * Collecting in-camera bracketed images into a single group.   Even with this, you'll still need Lightroom Classic to do any sort of stitching (HDR, Pano, etc), but this would at least allow my iPad catalog to stay organized until I can make it back to a computer with LrC. Thank you.

Using the iPad when traveling or on smaller projects for editing and reviewing is a great thing, but we need the option to get the edited images to a desktop without cloud sync. Slow WiFi in some countries, limited mobile data, and simply too many images make sync via cloud a real pain.    Being able to export an album as a catalog to an SSD on an iPad Pro would be a great help for this. Even being able to export Originals with Edit, as the desktop version of Lightroom allows (non-Classic), would be great. Because Originals Export to an SSD already works, but losing all edits makes this workflow useless.   It is slowly getting there, with direct SD import already working. But the full offline, non-cloud workflow for professionals with the iPad should be considered further.    Also, when using the iPad with a keyboard, the use of shortcuts, selection, and interaction is still very inconsistent.    The filter options are limited too; a great add-on woul

This option never 'takes' or 'stays' for the next import and I don't see anything related in preferences. I think I can only ask if there is a way or if there will be a way in the future. Now, with the new mirrorless cameras and hefty megapixels and large file sizes, the CF cards are a boon to handling these images for capture and then to upload to Lightroom folders. Would love to not have to remember to 'include sub-folders' as nothing will show from the inserted card until that box is found and checked when importing into Lightroom... 

My wife and I do a lot of event photography and need to categorize photos in albums for social media and client use. Since you added the Alt Text and Extended Descripiton fields, the area where the albums are shown is almost always off the page for me, especially if the photo has a location.    A photo's location is often useful but it's decidedly not for those of us who work a single venue over a weekend. So please make the location area collapsible (with persistence), which will allow the albums and sync information to be seen. It would also be nice to have the extended description fields collapsible so they could be left collapsed if not used.

Lightroom CC - Renaming in bulk. This is another important feature from Lightroom which appears not to have made it (yet) to Lightroom CC.Everyone has there own renaming strategy (don't they?). Once I have  applied keywords and corrected location details, I bulk rename to include date, location and primary keyword in the file title. OK - that may be overkill, but does help people I am selling images to.Bulk renaming - for whatever reason and using whatever system - is an important tool for DAM and support for it in Lightroom CC would be appreciated.

It would be great if you could share smart albums the same way you share normal albums.     I shoot sports events and when go through the shots I tag them with the club of the athletes and then set up smart albums to populate photos based on keywords.  The problem is I can't then share these albums and have to take a static copy of the photos and add them to normal album which I then share.  This is not ideal as the normal album  is a static snapshot in time where these events go over 3 days so as I tag more shots I need to repopulate the static album from the smart album.    It would make much more sense if smart albums could just be shared (please please please)
