Feature Requests

There is still no good solution for geotagging available from any vendor of either cameras or photography software. This is quite frustrating in this day and age. The cirteria for something I would consider a "good solution": Not tied to a specific camera brand No additional manual steps when importing photos Does not require a PC/Mac Does not require a smartphone (for getting postion data, because of limited battery life)   So how could that work: Many hikers already track thier position using GPS watches like Garmin (or others) and those tracks usually get synced to some cloud service (like Garmin Connect, Komoot, Stava,...) so the idea would be to connect Lightroom, wich is also a cloud service, to those services to automatically add position data to photos based on timestamps.   If that is too much to ask, an alternative could be for Lightroom to provide an API to add location data so that external parties can implement such a service.

Lightroom have significant feature differences across the supported platforms, which result in a quite different user experience depending on the platform. My request is to implement the existing feature set in all platforms, especially those features concerning image review and classification. So far, Ihave used LR on Win, android and ipad On windows version I miss the filter by dates, or at least date segmentation as in mobile. On ipad/android. I miss many things: compare 2 images, apply a tag to multiple images, add location info, add gps data, search on tag list, check the albums assigned to an image, see all content contained in an album group... Many of those requests are apparently not so hard to implement, and would contribute to reinforce the multiplatform aproach, that plays a significant role in my subscription decision. Thanks for your great job!

i hope you will add chromatic aberration effect. Because that effect give you amazing vintage style. Lightroom it's the best editing app on ios. I like to see that option in the app. Im forced to pay to other app to get that effect on my photos. Please make that happen.  thanks for the amazing work

Hi,It is my first suggestion here. I have searched for a already similar idea posted, but no result. I am quite always annoyed by the import process: I often feel losing my time by comparing Photo N-1, Photo N & Photo N+1 to get the best One (Rafale Mode for example). I would like Lightroom goes further in terms of pre-filtering, pre-sorting photos based on focus & subject. 

New Mac user (M1) chip is amazing!   In Lightroom CC where is has connections if it linked to your Google Photos would be amazing.....    Any other suggested way to import from Phone be it Android or do I have to surcome and get an iPhone too? but that still doesm't allow me to import, unless I use Lightroom for mobile I guess?  

why can't you provide Search in discover of Lightroom mobile iOS app same how it is in Android???

Hello, you know what would be awesome if on the Galaxy Z Fold u give us a setting option that allows the user to have the sliders on the bottom screen and the picture on the top in flex mode. I'm actually shocked no one thought of that while using Lightroom on the Fold4. Thank you very much. I love the app either way, just thought this could take it over the top! 

It would be very useful to allow the user to create preset GPS locations that can easily be plugged in to photos, rather than having to go to the Google map, copy the GPS location, and then paste it in. If you could have named presets for your locations in a list that can be maintained, it would be so much more streamlined when you're updating thousands of photos at dozens of locations! 

Dear Adobe, it must be an oversight: I have to export all my versions of images SEPERATELY with 3 (!)clicks. (three dots, export, choose folder, export)   In lightroom classic I can export all my versions (its called differently there, whatsoever)    Please let us export all versions of a image with 1 click. And include them in any export I do. They are just not included. Why?

I have many folders on my hard drive containing well organised images all in appropriately named folders.   It would be great if Lightroom (desktop) could use that folder name to create a new Album when I import the contents of a folder, and it would then save me typing in the name - I know it seems a bit lazy, maybe, but when you have several hundred folders for images it does make the process a bit slicker! This could be an option on import (check box?) that you just click and LR would then confirm to you that a new album of that name will be created and used for this import.   I guess it should only be an available option when selecting 1 folder - would be too complicated to allow multiple folders imported, or files from separate folders. 

As an event photographer where the event participants are often the same, the most frustrating thing I find with Lightroom is that when I share albums using a web public link, the recipients will have to dig through their WhatsApp's to find my link if they ever want to see an album a second time.    They only get visibility of one album at a time by following the link.    Contrast that to google photos, where you're forced (frictionlessly) to log in, meaning any album you're given a link to automatically gets added to your portfolio of albums, and every time I visit Google Photos I'm bombarded with great old albums that increase my engagement with their platform.    Desired user experience - every time I receive a public share Lightroom link, I want the option to add it to my account along with all the others I've been shared into. Specifically I want this feature on behalf of people I'm sharing with.    Actual user experience - people look at th

 I would like to see the option in Lightroom mobile that allows the image to be cut at the crop.  For example, I want to take a 16x9 photo and crop it to 5x4, then re-scale the image to create a white boarder without having to export the crop, then import the image, scale, then export again.

Add support for 2 screen devices as the Surface Duo. 

Hi all,  Will be really nice and time saver to add "recently edited" file in Lr mobile.  In some cases I am exiting the app. And when I go back I would like in one tap to continue my work.    Please back me up.  Thank you.

I bought a new, fresh M2 SSD on which I wanted to run Lightroom... But jezus Christ, Adobe makes such a mess of all the files and locations, it's terrible.   - I cannot chose where to install Creative Cloud, only on C: - Lucky I could in Creative Cloud, where to install apps. I chose my new SSD for Lightroom - Lightroom is installed on new M2 SSD, but data still ends up on C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local\Adobe\Lightroom CC\Data In settings I could change a lot of folders, but not the main one where it holds the data, see screenshot... - Only for originals, i can decide.... So whatever I try, it still forces me to work with C:   I feel like I am working with an App that was built in the 90's.   DO BETTER.   [Moderator: Moved to the Lightroom eco-system forum]

Hello, I'm very much enjoying this version of LR. It would be great to have a slider in the masking panel using the brush tool to allow opacity changes for the mask. This would allow a blending of existing image and a finer tuning of the changes made. Just a thought and if i have missed something please let me know. Thank you.

I really need at least one level more regarding Presets, so it easier to organize them. I.e My Presets       Color            ...            ...       B&W           ...           ... Your Presets ----   Or even better My Presets       Color            Landscape                 ...             Portrait                 ...       B&W           Landscape                ---           Portrait              ... Your Presets ...  

Need the ability to apply copied setting or presets in batch mode to a selected group of images. 

Need the ability to delete photos with one touch. 

Hello. LR Desktop is getting so close to being at parity for editing features with LR Classic! One thing that is still missing though is a manual option for lens corrections. Currently, if there is no matching profile for your lens, you cannot resort to correcting distortion and vignetting manually like you can in LR Classic and ACR. The vignette tools in the Effects tab or not an adequate substitute for manual vignette correction - they seem to work differently than the manual vignette correction tools found in LR Classic and ACR and do not produce the same results. Please add these lens correction tools back to LR Cloud!

After the upgrade to Lightroom iOS 8.0 on an iPhone 13 Max Pro, even though all images were previously  stored locally in full size, on first app  run it said it needed to do some "housekeeping" and reindexing, and suddenly now needs to re-download thousands of images (that were previously there, locally, full size). Furthermore, and to make things worse, it seems to be stuck and there is no progress in the sync/download count. The same is happening on my iPad. There should be no need to re-download the albums/images to local storage, and this never happened in previous upgrades.   Why is this happening?   Ideas?  Solutions?

Feature request for Lightroom on iPad: when exporting a DNG, add an option to enable lossy compression.   Why this is valuable to me: To save storage space and bandwidth, I like to store photos that aren't critically important as compressed DNG files so I can still have some of the editing flexibility of raw without the large file size. In trying to create an iPad-only workflow, this is the final thing hanging me up because I can't find a way to convert files to compressed DNG without going through a computer.

Apple now supports RAW format for Ultra Wide (UW) lens: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211965   Please add support for DNG format for the Ultra Wide (UW) lens on the iPhone LR camera app, then LR users can use DNG format for all three lenses without having to open the Apple camera app.   Thanks !  

Love the iPad version of Lr. As a long time Lrc user, I'm stoked to now have an iPad that can crank out content! Are we able to get double tap functionality with the Apple Pencil?   Being able to redo with the pencil would be game-changing!

I would like to have the possibility to edit EXIF data in Lightroom CC.  For example the data for the used lens and the used camera. Currently it is only possible to edit the data of the file. This would be very usefull, when you e.g. import scans from fotos that were taken with an analogue camera. Or if you import pictures that were taken with a lens, that does not report its type (like when you are using adapted vintage lenses) I currently I use an external software (EXIF Editor), and import the pictures afterwards. This is (I think) possible in Lightroom Classic, but not in Lightroom CC Desktop
