Feature Requests

The issue is that the app has features like generative expand and generative remove, and I want these to not be in my app. I will migrate from Adobe completely if this isn’t fixed.

I'm primarily a Lightroom Classic user but use the cloud-version on my ipad so I also. have it installed on my Macbook. Today I discovered that "Community" and "Learn" takes up a lot of screen space on the left side panel. But I can't find out how to remove these from my left panel.   I use Lightroom for my own photos and have no interest in using it for browsing other peoples photos. Do I have to go back to a previous version or will this bug be fixed?

how do I recreate the smart album for photos without keywords in the cloud based version please

I’d really love for the “Remove Extra People” button to be removed or removable. It is in my way almost 100% of the time that I try to use the removal tool on Lightroom Mobile. I’m sure it helps some people, but for working professionals who don’t remove people from photos because it’s unethical, it’s a persistent hindrance. Thank you for considering. 

Feature Request: Filter Photos and Videos by Date RangeLightroom Mobile on iOS currently does not provide an option to filter photos and videos using a custom date range.It would be very useful to have a “Date Range” filter, where users can select a start date and end date and see only the photos/videos captured or imported during that period.For example:Start date: January 1, 2025 End date: March 31, 2025 Show only photos and videos from that periodThis would be especially useful for users with large Lightroom libraries, making it much easier to find, organize, tag, move, or manage media from a specific trip, event, or period.Please consider adding custom date-range filtering to Lightroom Mobile for iOS.

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.

There is only one color-based Adaptive profile. The Adaptive Color profile is quite good overall and works well on most images I take. It saves a significant amount of time.Occasionally, it will not do a good job. This is often when making a picture too bright when it’s not needed. I would like to see more adaptive profiles to handle more situations or provide more options. It is clearly better than those which do not change based on the image.

I’m about ready to rage quit lightroom over this one issue. I want my delete button to actually delete my photos. Everywhere and at all times. I would never ever ever, hit that button if I just wanted to unorganize them out of my folders. What a stupid feature.I know I can right click delete, but I don’t ever remember that I have to do that so I always just end up with thousands of unorganized photos before I realize that my delete key is unorganizing photos out of my folders and not actually deleting. Your Pop up warning that it is only deleting out of the folder looks exactly like the Pop up warning to say that All Photos are being deleted. So it’s basically a useless pop up. I just want the option to make my DELETE key actually function like a delete key, the way it functions in LITERALLY EVERY OTHER PROGRAM!!! I don’t want a work around for this issue. My keyboard usage is ingrained in brain. It’s second nature for me to hit delete if I want to delete something. I break down crying

Please add the ability to increase/decrease exposure or shadows with the (+/-) buttons in Lightroom (CC) NOT classic. Not having the ability to alter the sliders with the keyboard on MacBook Pro running Lightroom is frustrating. In Lightroom Classic, you can modify the lighting in the develop panel with keyboard shortcuts. But with a Mac laptop that is running Lightroom Creative Cloud version, it does not allow you to use the same +/- keys to change the slider amounts and when you aren't using a mouse when traveling and it’s a big inconvenience for workflow.  Thank you!

This capability of filtering by orientation (landscape/portrait) is already implemented in the “Cloud”portion of Lightroom.   It is obvious some of the more resource intensive capabilities are limited to just being able to handled on the “Cloud” side but filtering by orientation is not resource intensive and seems can be easily handled locally as well.  In fact - There is a simple implementation of filtering by orientation in Bridge.  Currently it is necessary to export from Lightroom, only then to have to go over to Bridge to filter by landscape/portrait.Thank you for your consideration of giving this same orientation filtering capability to the local implementation of Lightroom!

In Lightroom mobile: Is there any way to keep the watermark in the "Add Border and Share" option? Makes no sense that you decide to remove that from that option but to keep the same for all the other share/export options.

it would be great if the size of the images in the grid view could be adjusted using the command +/- (Mac) or similar on windows keys.This currently works in detail view, adding it to the grid view would be great.Thanks,

I use Lightroom on iPad to cull large numbers of portrait photos.My workflow is:Scroll through the grid (for example, image 463 of 629). Mark several candidate photos with the Pick flag. Filter the view to show only Picked photos. Remove the Pick flag from the weaker candidates until only the final selections remain.The problem is that when I disable the Pick filter and return to the full grid, Lightroom always jumps back to the beginning of the album instead of returning to my previous scroll position.On Lightroom Desktop (cloud-based), the scroll position is preserved, so this behavior is inconsistent between platforms.Preserving the previous scroll position on iPad would significantly improve the culling workflow for photographers working with hundreds of photos.Each subject typically has around 10 photos. I first Pick about 5 candidates, then filter to Picked photos and narrow them down to the final 3 selections.

Hello,   I've encountered a bug in Lightroom Web: I am unable to reorder the photos of an album which sort order ("Sort by") has been set to "Custom Order".   Information: OS: Windows 11 Profesionnal - 25H2 - 26200.6899 Web browsers: tested on the latest versions (including in incognito mode) of both : Chrome: 142.0.7444.135 Edge: 142.0.3595.69   Reproduction steps: 1. Create an album with some photos 2. Set sort order to "Custom Order" 3. Try to drag-and-drop some photos (a single one or several selected ones) to reorder them → nothing happens   Expected result: A marker appears where you drag the selected photos, allowing you to drop them and reordering them.   Workaround: Photos can be reordered in the Mobile app: The new order appears in the Web app after refreshing:   However, this is not satisfactory as it is impossible to drag-and-drop several photos at once, which makes reordering big albums extremely time consuming.   &

Would appreciate the ability m Lr mobile to be able to select the aspect ratio of the Hasselblad x-pan (24x65)Alternatively, the ability to create and save user created aspect ratiosThanksEd

I shoot wide open a lot, and so I see a lot of chromatic aberration. I would love to see this tool in mobile, as it would save a lot of trips back to the computer.With this tool I would love to see what you have on the computer plus a better way to "stack samples" with the desktop you are only able to grab 1 hue range, and I've found this just doesn't work that often. I want to be able to grab once and then grab again if I still see it. Close to what you do with the shift key, but being able to have more then one sample with the green or pink hues.I would also love to see better detection in Lightroom, so I'm not doing this in the first place.

Many many times I’ve struggled with seeing the lines in the grid that appears while cropping and rotating. The lines are too transparent and do not stand out against a lot of photos.Can you make them a stronger color? Or an inverted color or something? They don’t need to be thicker, they just need to be easy to see.  And can you add an option to have them visible all the time, not only when you’re actively cropping or rotating? (The screenshot isn’t there to show how hard they’re to see. It’s there to show what lines I’m talking about. I’m talking about the lines in the grid when cropping.) 

How about camera support for Pixel pro phones? I'm using pixel 10 pro and id love to be able to use camera optical zoom within the LR app. Is this ever going to happen?

I would like to be able to set a anchor point or point of which the RGB values takes it information from. This would make it easier to adjust images to the RGB values, and not needing to hover over the images all the time. I also would like to be able to have more persise editing with the curves tool. such as that you can manually type in your own values to the points on the curve. Or make certain parts bigger, or just be able to make the entire thing bigger somehow. thanks.

It’s true that Lightroom Mobile currently lacks OCR (optical character recognition) and in-app text search functionality, which are available in Google Photos. In Google Photos, you can search for images containing specific words or phrases thanks to built-in OCR and AI-powered search. Lightroom Mobile, while powerful for editing and organizing photos, does not yet allow you to search images based on visible text within them.   Photographers who rely on text recognition for organizing receipts, documents, or images with signage often need to use external applications or workflows to perform OCR before managing those files in Lightroom. For now, Lightroom Mobile remains primarily focused on editing, tagging, and cloud-based syncing, rather than AI-based content recognition.  If Adobe adds OCR and text search in future updates, it would significantly streamline photo management for users who handle text-heavy images.

Hello,   in the Thumbnail the Overlay for the File Informations are missing. In older Versions are displayed File-Names - Exifdata, Ratings, Flags ...     I Apple iOS App for iPhone and iPad it's available. Why do you delete this Feature?   This feature are for see the File Information in a list of may files and I can select the needed Files. For Example for Add to a Album or to export all files with 5 Ratings or Flags.   Currently I only use the Filter.   Dear Christian

I use Lightroom Cloud to maintain large shared albums that are continuously updated with new photos.Today, shared albums always open with the default sort order of oldest to newest, and the album owner has no way to change this for viewers.This becomes a problem with large albums because viewers are often interested in seeing the newest photos that have been added since their last visit. Instead, they have to browse through thousands of older images before reaching the latest additions.My goal is to maintain a single, continuously growing shared album. I am not interested in splitting the content across multiple smaller albums as a workaround, since that makes browsing and managing the collection more complicated over time.I would like Lightroom to provide a way for viewers to see the newest photos first when opening a shared album. One solution would be to allow the album owner to define the default sort order (for example, Newest to Oldest). Another would be to allow viewers to choos

I'm super happy about recent upgrades on filters of likes and comments in the online galleries however there is still a missing piece to the full workflow puzzle. When I send an album of let's say 100 photos to my client, they go in, put likes to 15 photos, but the can't filter just those 15 shots. Nowadays I have to create them another gallery with their liked shots. Feature request: It would be amazing if the share published galleries have filters for clients to filter out liked photos from the album.

Why have to change tab to edit title/caption and keywords? More user friendly to have both on same "page".

This is not so much an enhancement to my workflow, but a general change to increase the usability and satisfaction with the UI. I am not interested in the least in Assisted Culling and Community items. Unfortunately, they are placed at the very top of the LH side panel, implying they are the most important key item to my usage. I have never used either and likely never will. Please allow me to move them to the bottom, or even better, hide them altogether. My biggest complaint with LR Cloud is the inability to customize the panels. Thanks!
