🔍 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.

I have installed the new lightroom cc in my windows pc recently, i like the integration between the different platforms.But either i'm missing something or it is missing. I can'f find a slideshow in the desktop version of this version of lightroom, in the classic and android version it is readily available, but i can't find it in the desktop version. Is this feature missing?

Lightroom Classic allows filtering by photos with snapshots.   Lighroom should allow filtering by photos with versions.     This wll allow Lr to match the feature of LrC.     Thx  

It will be good function of Lightroom If It will be possible to convert RAW photo to JPG without exporting to file system out of application. I am using Lightroom for photo management there really missed this functionality. I have really many photos in RAW format, but It could be fine to convert them to small JPG, because of just looking on them on phone or tablet in small quality. I have to export them to small JPG, after that remove original RAW photo and import them again in JPG to Lightroom, that is stupid. 

The latest smartphones are equipped with multiple cameras so for photographers they are a bit like having a DSLR with interchangeable lenses.  I just acquired one with telephoto and ultrawide lenses in addition to the default wide lens.   With the PRO mode of the phone's built-in camera app, it is perfectly possible to select a lens/camera and capture RAW files (DNG format) for editing later in Lightroom.   However with the camera included in Lighroom Mobile, you can only use one default lens.  To fully exploit the phone hardware and the nice features of the Lightroom camera, it would be really good to be able to select any one of the available physical cameras/lenses.  I appreciate that this might mean manufacturer-specifice code in Lightroom but it could be worth exploring what is possible to enhance the interest of the Lightroom camera with the latest phones. [I only have experience of Android phones but I have tagged this post for i

  Feature Request: Screenshot Filter for Cloud-Stored Media in iOS     1. Current Limitation:   In the iOS Photos app (local library), users can easily distinguish between screenshots and regular camera photos (e.g. via the “Screenshots” album). However, once images are uploaded to iCloud or stored in iCloud Drive, this classification no longer persists in the cloud environment.     2. Resulting Problem:   During search and filtering within the cloud-stored media (especially via iCloud.com, Files app, or shared albums), there is no way to isolate screenshots. This impacts productivity and search efficiency, particularly for: Professionals using screenshots for documentation Users managing large media libraries Developers, educators, and content creators       3. Comparative Benchmark:   Competing cloud storage providers (e.g. Google Photos, OneDrive) already offer: Persistent screenshot classification across cloud and local

Hi! any chance lightroom mobile can allow push notifications just like any other app when there has been activity on the photos/videos? I'd like to get notified when someone likes a photo. Seems like a nobrainer. For people who dont like it, they can still turn it off within the settings of the phone. thanks

I primarily shoot analog film photography and have used software like SmartConvert, Negative Lab Pro, FilmLab, and VueScan to all first invert and normalize RAW files from my camera before importing into Lightroom.  This is extremely wasteful and time consuming as the Lossless Compressed RAW files from my camera being re-saved into a de-moasiced TIFF increases the file size 4-5x, then to only re-import into Lightroom for final color adjustments, grading, dust removal, and sharpening.   I have attempted many times to do all of this editing within Lightroom and Photoshop but because my photos are inverted to begin with almost all of the controls become backwards, ex: exposure, contrast, white balance.   A feature in which I could apply a set of masks and edits, and then "flatten" those changes then continue editing with further edits being "stacked" on top of the previous ones would save me over an hour of time when I scan more than 4 rolls of film at once.

I'm probably at the low end of the prosumer category when it comes to photography. I've been using Lightroom for a couple of years. I love the multiple platform feature on the new CC, but geotagging images has always been important for me (enough so that onboard GPS is a mandatory feature when I look for a camera). I had been adding locations to older images in what's now CC Classic. Are we going to get that ability in the new CC? Even more importantly, will the new AI-based search allow us to do things like pull pictures based on location? And, if so, will we be able to do things like define a radius? This was all possible when we had the maps panel, but seems to be challenging now.

Pouvoir filter des photos en fonction de l'appareil (ou autre) sans avoir besoin de connexion internet : commencer le tri de ses photos en voyage (entre iPhone, APN, drone...) pourrait être super utile mais quand on est dans des lieux sans réseau on ne peut pas le faire avec cet app ! Les fonctions de filtre sont limitées en absence de réseau, pourquoi ?

Using my iPad I am trying to edit the capture date of a photo I scanned I scanned on my Mac. Is this possible? I don’t see where to to this.ThanksMonty

Currently even the shortest drag on an image in the grid view will trigger the "reordering" operation (where the blue line appears to indicate where you want to place the image. Not only is this function too easy to call accidentally (especially when using a trackpad where accidental touches can register as a click/drag), but once it is called, it's unintuitive to cancel without consequences (you need to drag the image to an area where it doesn't allow you to drag an image to, such as the top bar). If you try to drag the image back to where it was (which feels more intuitive), you're punished by the sort order switching to Custom Order, and you then have to go back and set the sort order back to what you had.   tl;dr: the sort order should only change from a click/drag operation if the image is actually dragged to a new position, and not when it's dragged back to its original position.
