I added thousands of photos (other than those in Synced Catalogs) and now I cannot differentiate them other than by the standard filters provided because I have used color labels to identify certain criteria. Color labels are just as important as Flags, Please add them!

Please add the ability to name color labels as is the case in Bridge and Lightroom Classic.

Hello everyone,

 

The MAX release for Adobe Photography products includes an update addressing the requested feature.

 

If the update isn’t visible in your Creative Cloud app, refresh it using [Ctrl/Cmd] + [Alt/Opt] + [R].

Please note: It may take up to 24 hours for the update to appear.

 

Thank you for your continued patience.

It's impossible to work between the two apps without consistent sorting methods. I use color sorting on classic to differentiate between the images for different uses. It is impossible to accurately transition to LR in synced images without. 

Please add this to LR!

Seems like they're not caring about it.

I would like to see support for color labels in Lightroom, like in Bridge. I use both programs and switch between them.

You're dreaming more than us! If there are no labels on Lightroom for desktop how they can add them on the mobile version? Of course all the Lightroom versions should have labels but we're still waiting... How Adobe cares about pro users really I don't know!

Could we support viewing Lab Color values in iPad Lightroom?

We're talking about a basic feature that every photo app has - in Adobe suite Bridge, Lightroom Classic and ACR - not about some futuristic feature like AI.

For pro photographers is not normal that Lightroom doesn't has labels.
