Feature Requests

For me, there’s only one thing missing in Lightroom for iPad: HDR merging. It’s particularly frustrating to have to use a PC or a Mac just to combine my RAW files, especially since M-series iPads are more than powerful enough to handle it. When traveling, this becomes especially frustrating. Please do it  ;)

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"

on the mobile app version of lightroom you can export photos with borders that have lovely convenient preset aspect ratios to choose from. why cant this feature exist on the desktop version of lightroom? lightroom version: 8.5 x64

Lightroom for Android supports HDR editing in all HDR capable google pixels aside from the Pixel 10 series, even though the screen technology is the same as what was found in the previous 9 series which is supported. Could you add this feature to these newer devices? 

Please add multplay subject and removed in one picture. This is very annoying on picture one subject automatic sleact. Please This option add next update.it is requared very much. Please add this futcher i strongly insist.

Feature Request: Local Albums/Collections in LightroomI’d like to request Lightroom to support local albums or collections similar to Lightroom Classic.  This is really the feature holding me back from completely switching over to Lightroom (Lr) from Lightroom Classic (LrC). Clearly sidecar and/or embedded edits are the future instead of a database Catalog. Easier to backup/sync work across devices, etc. But creating Catalogs is essential for long term projects, especially as someone who shoots with 100mb raw files. I have professional hardware and storage locally. Lr is just such a better and faster editing experience than LrC. Ideally, local albums would behave like normal Lightroom albums, but with a clear “local only” status and option to ‘sync’ it to the cloud. Why not bring Lr more in parity in terms of features to LrC? maybe a ‘Pro’ mode or module that can be enabled.

I always have my iPhone with me and ding that I'm capturing some great shots.  The issue I have with its native camera is you can't shoot in RAW.  I like that Lightroom now had a RAW camera feature.  I would like to request an icon shortcut to the RAW camera.  Maybe a widget.  Thank you for your consideration 

It would be useful to assign an album the photo about to be taken with Lightroom mobile app is saved to. This setting could be set as a default on app level so it is set automatically when user takes a photo with Lr app. Obviously user should be able to change it at that point as well

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.

Hi Adobe Team, Please consider expanding tethering support in Lightroom, bringing it closer to the functionality currently available in Lightroom Classic. This would help streamline studio workflows and reduce reliance on multiple applications. Best,Anders

Add tethered support to the Lightroom Desktop product

Subject: Improve Client Review Workflow in LightroomHi Adobe Team,Please consider adding a star rating system for client reviews (beyond likes/hearts) and allowing guest access without requiring an Adobe ID.This would significantly improve the client experience and streamline selection workflows.Best,  Anders

Subject: Custom Background Options in LightroomHi Adobe Team,Please consider adding the ability to customize the background in Lightroom, including the option to upload a custom image.This would improve presentation and allow photographers to better match their visual identity.Best,  Anders

The ability to manually tag people in Lightroom CC. When a face is missed by face recognition, partly covered (e.g. face mask), or turned away from the camera, the user should be able to manually tag the person.Quality in meta data is essential when working with larger photo collections. Without the ability to ensure correct tagging, the search functionality looses much of its value.Many people have been asking for this feature in Adobe user forums for a long time. This is a fundamental feature that is needed in the product, and will be popular and extremely useful for the users. 

I want a mask that removes dark circles and makes my face look prettier.

Please add the auto mask feature for LR Mobile. Also please add color swap as well for IR.

On the desktop version, when we select to store an album locally (for offline access), it always downloads the full resolution images. My understanding is that the same feature on mobile only downloads the “smart preview” versions of the photos. I would like to have an option, either in the settings or when downloading an album, to select if I want the full-size files or the smart previews. There are two options I’m asking for this: I mostly use this when travelling. Having all the full resolution photos takes unnecessary spaces. When I travel with a less powerful devices, having full resolution photos slows down Lightroom a lot and uses an unnecessary amount of resources to process the images.

I really miss the ability to pick 1-2-3 similar photos from a shoot and compare them during my editing process to pick the beset one of the three.Please bring that back to this version.

I have been hoping to get Survey view in Lightroom for years now as it is a feature I depend on extensively in Lightroom Classic, to the extent that I struggle to use Lightroom.When judging a set of images, it could be a selection of images, or just seeing if they are coherent (could be crop, white balance etc) it’s much easier to just select images and open in survey view than it it putting them in an album and looking at them in a grid.A variation could potentially be a light table view (like the one that used to exist in Aperture) where images can be freely arranged on a canvas.

The Info panel on my iPad version of Lr Mobile has plenty of blank space on it. Please use some of that empty space to display any Location data associated with each image. Even better would be the ability to add/edit Location info on the iPad. This would save time and trouble and make the iPad version more like the version I see on my laptop. What is baffling is that my iPad Pro has an M1 processor that is more than capable of handling the minuscule extra data that is displayed—so why are you handcuffing the Mobile version?

I would like to suggest adding a leg selection mask, similar to existing subject and skin detection tools, to allow targeted adjustments

I’d like to request proper support for Smart Albums syncing to iPad within Adobe Lightroom.At the moment, Smart Albums (or Smart Collections) created on desktop do not carry across to mobile devices in a usable way. While I understand collections can be synced, the actual rules and automation behind Smart Albums are lost.This is a real limitation for workflows like mine.I manage a large, structured image archive (40,000+ images), using Smart Albums to organise content by:Location (e.g. streets and areas) Subject (buildings, features, etc.) Status (new, ready, published)During the working week, my primary device is an iPad,  it’s what I use on the go to review, select, and prepare content. Desktop access is limited to evenings or weekends.Because Smart Albums don’t sync, I have to:Manually recreate album structures Copy images between albums Rely on workarounds instead of automationThis adds unnecessary time and increases the risk of inconsistencies.What would help:Smart Albums syncing

hello! I recently added a custom camera profile to test out some settings in Lightroom CC. But now I want to delete that profile, is there a way to do so?

The extensive HDR support across all versions of Lightroom is amazing. However, sharing the images is still challenging and it would be incredibly helpful if Adobe Portfolio supported HDR photos (ideally shared as gain maps).   The existing HDR support in LR Web Galleries is great (example). However, it lacks the capabilities many photographers are seeking to share their work. Adobe Portfolio is a much better fit for many people, especially given it's included with Creative Cloud and the excellent Lightroom integration.

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-
