Feature Requests

I probably am not the only one where I often have multiple images in sequence. It therefore would be logical that the people in one image are in the next. Therefore, when assigning people to an image, the system should be able to guess that the same people are in the following image, especially if the capture time is less than a minute apart.

Having the list of people randomly change order each time you get to the screen, or add a name is not only annoying, but has caused me to enter the wrong information multiple items. The sort order should be idempotent, preferably based appearance in the image (left to right, top to bottom to my way of thinking).

I would like Lr to expose some performance metrics if possible showing what resource is the bottleneck on my machine. e.g. is it my GPU? CPU? Disks? If I want to improve the performance of the machine where is Lr running into resource performance constraints.

After importing, I often make sure multiple things are done. Such as apply CA, Lens correction, "Auto" button under light, setting copyright (already available), setting title. It would speed up my workflow to have the ability to set these and other items. (I am ok with a phased approach) Tim

Yes I can mark phots as rejected but the problem is I can't turn them off in the grid view and they don't get greyed out, I can't easily see if its rejected or a keeper. So that's makes the mobile editing process a little annoying.   And no I can't delete them yet, because I have them synced with LR Classic. And if I delete them before the "rejected" status had a chance to transfer onto my desktop PC I would still have them in LR Classic and would again have to decided which ones to keep or not.   So please make the rejected status visible by marking these photos somehow, just show them greyed out like on desktop.

I am a new user of Lightroom and noticed that LR does not pernit wildcards like ? and * as usual in lots of other search applications.   Why not?   Regards - Jan

Please release a Lightroom subscription for non-commercial use?! I've recently moved away from an iPad, where I used Lightroom mobile (I even paid for premium at £4.49/month), however for a similar package for my macbook, it's double the cost!

Lightroom on iPad Pro has the functionality to backup albums on the local device, however there is no way to access these back ups on the iPad through the native file directory or be able to restore from these albums through the Lightroom CC app on the iPad. Would love to see the ability to properly back up and restore Lightroom files and presets on the local device.

Keywords are currently case sensitive, for example I have three variations of the following three keywords which should really be just one. "kids performance" "Kids performance" "Kids Performance"  

The new Lightroom CC would be ideally suited for family use. A shared family photo library in the cloud can be built and maintained. The mobile devices (iPad, iPhone) can be easily integrated already.Not so for PCs: The installations are limited to two. Even when an additional subscription is purchased, it can't be integrated with the existing cloud based photo library (one gets a new, independent one).Please allow a reasonable set of PCs to access the shared cloud photo library. A ballpark number would be 5 (similar to the Microsoft Office Family License).

One thing I think the mobile and new LR CC are missing is the Develop History information. I think this is particularly important in this cloud based context: for example I may have done an edit on my phone that is not quite right (I fumbled it, screen was too small or whatever) and then need to back it out or change it when I see it on a desktop. If this could also be synced with the LR Classic develop history, this would be very powerful.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or is the way it is designed so I'm going with the latter. I am editing a lot of scanned family photos and so enter a lot of titles, descriptions, captions and keywords for my photos. After I select a text field, let's say "Title", by left-clicking in the text field, I take my hand off the mouse and begin typing. I have found that if I have left my mouse cursor over one of the Tools on the right side of the screen, the tool that the cursor was on will become active. When that happens the text cursor is removed from the text box and whatever keyboard shortcuts get invoked by the text I am typing begin modifying or deleting the image I am working on. I try to swipe my mouse to the left after selecting a text field but all too often I forget and my mouse has found its way to the right side of the screen. I wish the cursor behavior for the tools would change to not take the cursor from a text field until a tool is clicked on. I see that is is good to have the

I always need to go in to each and every gallery in the AppleTV Lr to get them sorted by capture date in reverse order as I think it is normal to view the oldest picture in a story first. I would appreciate if the default for this could be changed as it is wonderful using Lr on the TV!   The sorting of the galleries is a second problem: The newest gallery is at the bottom. A reverse order would be prefered as default or as a setting.

I use a lot the "None" filter to know if I have any pictures I still haven't document. I think it's easy to implement and extremely useful.

If I’m unable to access my normal workstation, I typically upload my photos to Adobe Cloud and then make on the fly edits using Lightroom via the Web. I then export the photos to either a Dropbox folder or to a thumb drive.    It would be very beneficial to be able to select multiple photos for export, and be able to save them as a batch all at once rather than having to go through every photo one by one and doing an export.     Thank you! 

Hi there,I wish Lightroom CC had the ability to "watch" local folders on my computer where my files would be uploaded to from devices and automatically import them into my lightroom catalogue.I understand this is a 1.0 release and I hope this sort of feature can be included in the future as it is in Lightroom Classic.Currently for example, my main cloud storage for my PC, phone and tablet is OneDrive. Any photo I take on my phone or tablet is automatically uploaded there, and my DSLR photos are automatically imported into the OneDrive camera roll as well. It's just super convenient that any photo I take is automatically imported into my Lightroom for sorting and organising at a later date no matter what device I capture the photos on.

I recently discovered that the 16x10 standard crop size is useful for creating side-by-side 10x8 posts on Instagram. This was removed on the latest update. The 1x2 size is helpful for creating side-by-side square posts, but most of the time I prefer the 10x8 format. Please bring this back. 🙂 This would also be helpful on Lightroom mobile.  Thank you!

As I've spent years sorting all of my photographs out into folders and sub-folders I naturally want to maintain that in Lightroom CC. How can I import hundreds of different folders and sub-folders into Lightroom CC and maintain their structure? Even when importing from an existing Lightroom Classic Catalog, there doesn't seem to be a way to automatically maintain the folder structure. I don't want to add 50,000+ photographs and have to re-organise them Any thoughts ??

I like to filter out non organized (not in albums, nor folders) photos in order to delete them after having saved them on external disk in order to save space on the cloud. 

When using the Auto Add new photos feature now Lightroom Mobile searches in every folder in the device. I'd like to choose which folder to look for. I don't want Lightroom sync WhatsApp images.

Lightroom CC takes up too much bandwidth when uploading. Need to add a feature to control this so that people with large collections don't flood their internet connection.

I made some presets for me to use on my Lr mobile (android) and now I wanted to share them with my friends. But, I could only find people explaining how to di this in the deskop version. Can someone help me? Or this is actually impossible?

When I use the option to specify a different storage location than my C: drive (another drive that I use solely for storing media) Lightroom shows a bogus file path ' ""\Photos' and still shows that I have no space on the C: drive, despite me setting a different drive to store my photos.This makes lightroom unusable on my setup.
