In Lightroom Classic we can press "Y" to view the original next to the edited one. I know I can press "\" to view the original but it only switches back and forth.It would be nice to have the ability like you can in classic to view the original side by side. Scenarios exist where you are unsure whether a specific edit improves the overall image or not, and more often I like to show my editing work to others and it's much easier to take a screenshot of the original next to the edited to send it off for either validation or feedback.

I have two ideas for the Camera: 1. as an architect i always edit my picture with the upright tool. I would find it very useful, when there would be optional live upright correction while taking pictures  2. I have a shortcut for the lightroom camera at the lockscreen (iPhone) would be great if I would be possible to open the camera without having to unlock the phone first 

If I enter a term into the search field, I'd love to have the results include any matches with my photos' "Alt Text". 

I'm using light room on Android.  <deleted> And if I saved as a copy, the Exif Metadata not maintain the original creation date...       So to give my example. I want to edit a photo, apply some filters and effects, after I don't want to keep the original.  And if I tried to post it Facebook or Instagram from the apps the new photos (edited) keeps on top... losing the original chronology... and this is really bothering.       Hope soon apply some feature to allow this... maybe is not expected on all cases, but add an option to "save and replace original"       Regards

I hope that Adobe could add a function to the slideshow in Lightroom, namely to sort the slideshow in a random way. Right now you have to sort the slideshow by creation date or change date or similar. Regards  Kenneth 

  Hi Team,   I’m Saurabh Shukla from India  a software engineer by profession and a travel content creator by passion.   I love using Lightroom Mobile, especially for color grading on the go. However, I’ve noticed that videos with camera movement (like pans or tracking shots) become jittery after export, even though the original footage is smooth. Static clips don’t have this issue.   It seems like the export process struggles with motion-based footage.   Suggestions:   Add motion optimization (e.g. frame blending or smoothing). Provide export settings (Resolution, FPS, Bitrate) to give users more control.     Would really appreciate if there’s a fix or if improvements are planned. Thanks for the great work on the app!   Best, Saurabh Shukla shuklaje012@gmail.com | @Streetwala

Provide segmentation features on desktop to match iOS app

Please consider adding histogram for Lightroom Mobile that appears on screen when shooting photos with camera.

Adobe needs to include IPTC information in the file INFO in Lr CC. This is the industry standard for file information and a requirement of most photo agencies, so why isn't it in CC? Cloud storage is great but without IPTC it's not of much use to those submitting to an agency.

Missing Feature of green overlay within pro mode and manually focussing in Lightroom mobile app for android users. Does this feature exists? If not will you develop it?  

I need a specific aspect ratio for my photos. And the lack of a way to input that ratio into the iPad version of Lightroom is a HUGE hassle.   Can we please have a way to use numbers to create the perfect aspect ratio when cropping? 

🔍 Problem Currently, new masks in Lightroom are generated based on the already edited image, which includes all global adjustments such as exposure, contrast, and color changes. This causes issues like: Lost dynamic range: Blown-out highlights or clipped shadows are impossible to isolate cleanly. Limited slider headroom: Mask adjustments are relative to the modified state—not the untouched RAW—so fine tuning the sky or subject becomes tricky after global edits. Unpredictable behavior in layered workflows: Subsequent global changes can affect earlier masks in unexpected ways. 💡 Proposed Solution Introduce an optional toggle in the mask settings: “Base this mask on original RAW image” (✔️ default off) What it does: Makes mask previews and initial slider neutral positions refer to the unedited RAW. Allows sliders (exposure, contrast, whites, etc.) to operate using the full dynamic range available in the RAW. Ensures consistent and predictable m

I’ve been testing out Lightroom CC for a bit. I am considering a switch from Apple Photos. Is there a reason you cannot support Live Photo’s? Google Photos does on apple device, so I know its not a totally closed down format. Even if you could only view them on apple devices it would still be nice. Sometimes the Live Photo feature captures really special moments. I’m not sure I could give them up.

Hola, me gustaría sugerir que integren una función nativa en Lightroom para poder filtrar fácilmente las fotos que he marcado como "me gusta", o que permita ver una lista de mis favoritos personales sin tener que usar banderas o estrellas. Sería útil tener un botón tipo "❤️" como en otras apps, para hacer este proceso más rápido y visual. ¡Gracias!

In the community section it would be awesome to be able to post a series of photos to practice photographic story telling. 

Description: When adjusting certain parameters like Texture on a mask, it would be helpful if Lightroom could provide an additional option to apply the effect gradually near the edges of the selected subject. This would help prevent the subject from becoming overly blurred. For example, when reducing texture on a person’s face, the current implementation applies the adjustment uniformly across the entire masked area. This causes the facial contours to become flat and lose definition. Since Lightroom already has the ability to detect subjects, it should also be able to recognize the edges. Why is this valuable to you? If we could apply adjustments in a gradient fashion toward the edges, it would save a lot of time manually refining masks.

Hello, it would be amazing if the Copyright filed auto populated with the copyright information assigned in-camera. Thanks!

There is no option to disable the function of "Eject Memory Card after Import" for Lightroom CC (not Lightroom CC classic). How could I solve it?

The Lightroom Desktop sliders are incredibly difficult to activate. The "hot spot" appears unreasonably tiny. I find myself unable to grab and move the sliders. I do NOT have this problem with Lightroom Classic. I appreciate the more modern UI of version 8.4 over version 14.4; however, the usability has taken a serious step backwards. Please offer a setting to more closely similate the slider responsiveness in the older Classic version.  

On the desktop version of Lightroom CC I (and many other photographers I know) use batch rating and flagging to select a large amount of keepers or reject photos I might later want to delete. This works by selecting multiple images and than pressing the corresponding number (0-5) to star, p to pick, x to reject and u to unflag. As the promise of the iPad was to be a professional working device it would immensely speed up my workflow. I don't think this would require any change in the UI (because most of us use Lightroom with a keyboard), although adding a star bar and flags would make it easy for the touch users as well. Batch keywording and metadata editing would help with the organization of the photos and one could easily correct a time delay if the camera wasn't set up properly. This would definitely need new buttons in the UI, but I think it's worth it in the long run.

Hi there,   I've had various problems creating masks using Subject, Sky, Landscapes, and more on Lightroom Mobile on Mac, and it won't export.  It tells me that the masks need to be updated, and there's NO OPTION to update the mask.    Manually rebuilding masks is painstaking and I'd really prefer for the program to recompute things and I'd make minor tweaks.  Please fix this in the next update!   Thank you. 🙂   Details:   macOS 15.4.1 Adobe Lightroom 8.4 (Mobile) 

I'm unable to find the number of images in an Album. Correction: the number of pictures in an album appears at the bottom after scrolling to the last thumbnail.  (This is a bug; it should be displayed next to the Album name.)   This is valuable to me because I want to see the number of images in an album when the album name is displayed.     {Moved to Ideas by moderator}

In Lightroom CC I can only share albums. I like this option, but I need it also for folders. At the moment I export all photos for my clients to Dropbox. They have permission to see specific folder with the folders (albums) for events inside.For example:Client 1- Event 1- Event 2- Event 3Client 2- Event 4- Event 5Client 3- Event 1- Event 4When I have the option to share folders in Lightroom I can cancel my activity in Dropbox, because in Lightroom CC I can change something on the photos an my clients will see this change without extra export. For this it would be also necessary to have one photo in more than one album.

Es ist sehr schade, dass man nicht die Option „nach name sortieren“ haben kann, wenn man ein Album erstellt.  (online auf lightroom.adobe.com ) Philippe Bodinger

As someone who uses adapted lenses on my GFX it is becoming extremely inconventient that I cannot manually select a lens form the optics menu on iPad. I have to open the same image on my Android phone and select the lens manually there. I should have at least the same capability on a powerful tablet like an iPad Pro.
