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 would like to be able to use color-ratings in all Lightroom products - right now it only works in Classic.

 

It currently keeps me from including color-ratings in my workflow in any significant manner because I cannot even filter out my photos using their color-ratings when using my phone, iPad, web browser versions.

 

The use in the Lightroom (not classic) software on my computer would have limited use because when I am on my computer, I have access to my Classic version. I would imagine however, that having it across the different Lightroom products would make a ton of sense and would allow me to have a more complete workflow going forward.

 

Thank you.

1. Please provide COLOUR CODING for Lightroom Cloud so that we can better organise images in our albums and folders.

2. Please provide a search methods whereby we can identify photos not in any albums or folders ie.they have been missed. I have tried the 'not in any album' search ,it does not work.

             ThankYou.

Hi there, I've seen some older posts on a similar topic (Color labels in Lightroom CC) and wondering if there is any support currently for using color labels in Lightroom Mobile / iPad? I see the flagging and rating functionality, but color labels would be very useful as well. 

Thank you!

Hello! Is the color coding cababilty still available? I only see the star rating which does not apply to a photo when I attempt to add? Also, how do I create a copy of a photo to apply a different edit? And lastly, where is the teeth whitening tool? If removed, which sliders to I use to whiten?  Thank you!

Hi Melissa,

 

There isn't any colour coding/labels, or teeth whitening tool (I'd do selective edits and probably use exposure or whites).

There are probably feature requests for these in the Ideas section you can search for, you can then Upvote.


In the Cloud Based Desktop you can Make a Duplicate (not on Mobile though). Also checkout the Versions feature...

Star Ratings should work though, check out the shortcuts in the top menu.

I used color labels with Classic, more because they were there. Most of my process depended not on keywords, presence (or lack of) of certain meta-data, and editting information (such as if photo was cropped).

 

Due to many other constraints, I re-invented my workflow when I switched to the cloud ecosystem.

So my question is, for those that are focused on just the cloud ecosystem, not syncing to Classic, how would labels improve your workflow? What am I missing?

Why should we stick around with Lightroom when this feature has been asked for now clocking 4 years. It's not that the community isn't voting. We're sick of voting for stuff that never sees the light of day

Please, make the color labels availableon LR mobile. Í have over a million photos color labeled in LR Classic CC. I was very happy when I first time used the LR mobile, but I am not using it now, because it doesn't fill my basic requirements, the ability to color label photos. As mony others wrote before, it is a good thing to label the photos on the road back to office, it saves a lot of time. Please make it available and let us know when will it be.

I have synced a collection from by desktop app in hopes that I could use my phone to narrow down my photos. My workflow relies heavily on colour labels when culling and identifying my best work of a session. I was expecting that the app would have colour labels that would sync back to the desktop app.
