P: Add Color Labels

yeah they were, but i was dog sitting for a week and only brought my ipad, not my laptop. definitely doing that in the future though 

I hope you're right 😉 But Adobe doesn't comunicate on their roadmap, so I doubt they'll tell us anything about their dev team or even their buisness plan. The only measurable we have, as users, are the updates and the bug fixes. And everyone can judge by in what direction the feel it going 🙂

I must repeat. I want colored folders.

Colored dots called labels are too small.

I want colored folders for all Adobe products.

I must repeat. I do not want colored labels. I want colored folders.

Labels are too small and, visibly not strong enough.

I want them for all Adobe products.

@antoine_hlmn That time may come in the future, but it's a loooooooong way off yet. They're targeted at different audiences, and the Lightroom Classic engineering team is bigger than it's been for a long time. There's more than enough customers from each audience for them to maintain both Lightroom versions.

@gary_degruccio You will never get this as an official answer, but it's quite obvious Adobe's main goal is to 'gently suggest'  to switch towars LR 'Cloudy'.

• It's expensive for them to maintain both softwares
• Selling cloud is a way more profitable model
• Once you're in that model, getting out is more difficult
• Ther ML tech (Sensei) turns on their servers, not on your machine
• Where is the focus right now? On the "learn" and "discover" section, not on LR
• 'Cloudy' was (is?) far from ready, so they had to maintain both in //
• Ask yourself what the latest updates brought to classic...
• On their webpage, there's almost no mention of Classic

The target audiance has also shifted: the pro / enthusiast photographer market is probably way less profitable than the smartphone user using Insta filters (presets, sorry...).

Classic is probably ment to die, sooner or later, in profit of cloudy. I suspect we'll (continue to) see fewer and fewer updates with time, until a day where some modules will stop working (such as maps...) or become incompatible with a future OS or even technologies.

Hey Rikk

thanks for the reply and I do still use classic. Not just for the color labels but I make use of the cc mobile app as well and sync the changes between them. That’s a key feature that keeps me using Lightroom. I’ve changed my work flow a bit to accommodate the color label omission. But my question to you all at Adobe is WHY it’s not a feature. I can’t believe it’s a technical issue so I’m assuming it’s a philosophy issue. I’m curious what you all are thinking that makes using color labels such a no-no

thanks

Gary

This is not a replacement for Lightroom Classic. It is a different program entirely. If you need Color Labels you should stick with Classic. 

Please add this feature back to Lightroom. I don't understand why Lightroom classic had to disappear and this is the replacement. It seems all the basic functions are gone and there's nothing new to be excited about. 

@Alli Carpenter 

Are they still in LR Classic? If so, filter by color label and assign a flag or star rating instead.
