Feature Requests

So an extremely useful and time saving feature of Lightroom classic is missing from CC and is stopping me from switching entirely (and therefore spending more on cloud hosting); the + and - hot keys that could be mapped to any adjustment to super quickly tweak a particular adjustment. In my workflow I use it to quickly adjust exposure as I go through my event photos, generally my presets get me 90% of the way there and I just need to tweak exposure a little. Currently on CC I need to lift my hand from the keyboard that I was using for navigating/rating photos to the mouse/touchscreen in order to change exposure, which disrupts my flow and increases editing time. This one small tweak would make a big difference to my workflow and in turn make me fully switch to CC.

All of my searching has led to results for Lightroom Classic. I am wanting to extract frames from videos in Lightroom and I do not see anyway to do this. When you click on Edit, you get the message "video editing not supported" and no way to extract a frame. Is this a limitation on the Desktop version of Lightroom?   This post’s title has been edited for clarity and search-ability. 

Using Adobe Lightroom - Photo Editor & Pro Camera app I can slow down the shutter speed as slow as 1s. But it's not enough for low light shoots. My device supports camera 2 API and I tried Procam x which enabled up to 6s. It would be great if Adobe Lightroom - Photo Editor & Pro camera support to slow down the shutter speed as slow as 20s.

I noticed that issue using lightroom on a Samsung Galaxy tab S7. While importing photos, lightroom checks on previously added photos to find any duplicate and if so it will skip import of the duplicate content.   The apps checks only by filename, in any case by file size or exif information.   So if you have 2 different photos bearing the same name (taken at different times), only one will be imported since the second will be considered as a duplicate of the first one.   Either you consider file size since the file date might be erroneous, or read that beautiful exif information and figure out that they are different.

Lightroom Mobile on Android   If I make some changes using, for example, the Curve tool, I want to be able to quickly see the difference between (a) how things look now and (b) how things looked before I adjusted the curve. But there's no way to do this in Lightroom Mobile on Android.   Of course, pressing and holding the screen doesn't help here because this shows the state of the image before all edits, whereas I want to see the state of the image before the current edit only. The Undo feature also doesn't help, because this undoes each curve adjustment individually. I think the only workaround is to use Versions, which is far too tedious and time-consuming.   This is such an important feature that I am surprised it hasn't been implemented yet. Its absence makes Lightroom Mobile almost unusable for me, even though I pay for it. Snapseed already has this feature. Note that my request isn't restricted to the Curves tool—ideally, this before/after button would be availabl

Using latest 4.4 Lightroom on Mac desktop. Filtering by "edited" doesn't work at all. My expectation of this setting is the following:  - No - no change has been made since the import of the photo Currently the "no" setting displays non-logical non-accurate results. It displays some non-edited images, but most of the others are edited (a lot).   Some background why I need this filter to work in the first place... My Hasselblad X1D photos all give "missing profile camera standard" error when opened on iOS devices. After months of long searching on the issue I found a workaround to show the Legacy camera profiles folder and add the "Embedded" one as a favourite. Now I want to filter all photos with the default Camera Standard profile and batch change it to Embedded. But this is not possible, so I had to look for other options - such as filtering by edited, which just doesn't work, hence this topic.  And while we are at it, why there's no filter or search by Camera Profile

Hello,   I would very appreciate to have some import options for pictures. When I'm travelling, I would like to only use Lightroom mobile to import, relate and sort my pictures.    When I import photos on Lightroom desktop, I always change the file name, add some keywords and change some meta data. This is not possible on the mobile version. Could you please add it, so it's possible to keep my workflow with the ipad too.   Thank you very much and best regards Melissa

I am often working images from multiple trips/events at a time. As such, each trip/event is in its own folder.By forcing me to go to all photos  I have to perform the following steps. 1. A performance hit, since my all photos is roughly 25K photos, Lr is always slow initially switching. 2. Multiple mouse and/or keyboard steps are required. 3. Performance hit waiting on Lr to filter first on "rejected" 4. Annoyance having to then select the working album as part of the filter criteria. 5. Then I can finally delete.   Would be much easier to filter on rejected within the album I am working. On the confirmation dialog ask .

When importing to cloud based Lightroom, you can see a nice little icon indicating if an image is jpeg or raw for example. It would be a huge step forward to also see if the image is rated.   I want this on the cloud based and also the mobile version as I often import images on the ipad.    Like many photographer I sometimes run in to session where I have to shoot BURST of images. I come back with thousands of images but only want to import the images I have pre selected on the camera. 

When editing a crop, and many selective editing tools, you have to select another editing panel/device to get it to apply. If you jump back to group, or deselect so you can use your mouse to move via the filmstrip or try and use the arrow keys, your crop edit is lost. Current work around: switch to another edit tool, each switch is half second or more.   Example flow: I work images in batches; so I perform all cropping of one image after another and use the arrow keys to switch images  

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.
