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!

I certainly like all of the new features, but I wish they would work harder on feature parity with LrC.

I'm sorry but which kind of answer is this?!?

After the last update (Lr 8.2) still no labels. For sure is not difficoult for Adobe to add this feature so I'm very courious to know the reason why they decided to not add this feature in Lr. I understood you're caring more about consumers but you know also that pros use Adobe apps and for every pro is important to have labels also in Lr, not just in LrC, ARC and Br.

 

I hope that some Adobe staff member will answer to tell why they decided to not add this feature. We're paying and we deserve to know.

Why isn't there an option to use color lables in Lightroom but there is in Lightrom Classic?

I decided to start using the most recent version on Lightroom for all the new features but the most basic feature that I use on an everyday basis in Lighroom Classic isn't available in Lightroom version 7.5. I thought Lightroom is suppose to be used to edit and ORGONIZE photos, yet the color lable option isn't even an option.

Color Labels are in Bridge and Lightroom Classic. They have never (so far) been part of Lightroom Desktop.

I agree!  Please add them with the little box next to the stars as in Classic.

The best thing will be to do ONE Lightroom version, with all the features of LrC and L with the L'GUI. STOP

I see most of these things have been requested at least since 2018. Please, can you make this somewhat resemble a pro option for photographers already? Best case, attempt to make this feature parity with LRC.  SO FRUSTRATING. If you need to charge more for a 'pro' option, fine.

Agreed. It makes no sense to me at all. I have built my entire workflow around the standard features in LRC. The workarounds suggested are unsatisfactory and logically just not necessary. We are talking about missing basic functionality. This issue alone prevents me from using the web based LR for anything more than sharing galleries of proofs.

I hope that one day, not so far, you'll add "Labels" and "Sync edits" in Lightroom (CC).

...and "Versoins" on the Local tab.

Can color labels for making selects still be used in the current version of Lightroom?
I see how to rank and flag individual photos but no way to color code each photo.
Am I missing something here?

Colour Labels aren't a feature in Lightroom yet.
