I was (and still am, I guess) so, so excited about the launch of the new CC. However, I was extremely disappointed to find that there is no local adjustments folder to add custom brush presets. I chatted with an Adobe Support rep and they said that it "may be added in the future" and to post on here.

I cannot believe that I have to post on here asking for Adobe to add a main chunk of my workflow back into Lightroom. I can't be the only one whose LR workflow is affected by the lack of this capability.

I would love to be able to use my saved brushes on desktop in the mobile versions of LR. Does anyone know if this is an upcoming feature?

Hey!

I'm a photographer, and I use the cloud-based version of Adobe Lightroom to edit every single one of my photos. I really love how easy it is to navigate, especially when I am working against a tight deadline.

Nearly all of my photos require touch ups using the "Brush" tool. I think a feature that Adobe should add is the ability to create your own brush presets to use while editing, rather than moving the sliders over and over again for each photo. I know that Adobe Lightroom Classic has this feature, but I would really like to see it in the cloud-based version of Lightroom as this is where I primarily edit.

I am sure many others would benefit from this update as well!

This is astonishing how this feature was requested in 2017 and I am still having the issue in 2022!!! The ability to adjust and create and save custom brush presets is an absolutely necessary feature for many photographers and I don't understand why it wasn't included in Lightroom CC when it has been a staple feature in Lightroom Classic for a long time. Can we please get an update as to when this feature will be available @Rikk Flohr: Photography ? Thank you!

I want to install brush presets. I've read all the tutorials but there's nothing for this LR version 5.3. They say first you have to go to "preferences", then select the "presets" tab - I do no not have this tab. If this tab exists, I do not know how to add the presets either. Please help 🙏

super frustrated, and thanks for your help

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. This topic can be confusing. Let me clarify this for you.

Adobe Lightroom (v5.3) currently does not support Brush presets. The tutorials or guides you are referring to for help are pointing towards Adobe Lightroom Classic, which supports Brush presets, also called 'Local Adjustment Presets.'

Please check this article to learn more about the difference between Adobe Lightroom (Cloud) & Lightroom Classic (Which stores everything locally on the computer): https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/kb/lightroom-feature-comparison.html

We hope this helps,

Thanks!

I doubt ost of the examples you gave will ever end up in Lr. Making eyes bigger, and many other effects are better served in a pixel editor like Photoshop.

Hey Community!

Has Adobe, ever considered adding effects like, make person eyes bigger, or brighter, or make teeths more white etc. in Lightroom?

I know I can do this manually, by adding in the bursh section, and increase exposure, increase white etc.

But it would be really cool if they added these effects, to people like me who are beginner.

But is it just me who wants these effect though?

Kinds regards

While it seemed like feature parity mostly in CC vs the legacy version, seemed most likely it's been very odd that after 3 years items like this still haven't been added or at least promised. And makes you wonder if these core features will ever be added. Or if Classic will stick around forever, I wonder when that will finally get a design refresh to match all other modern Adobe apps. Unless like Apple, the plan isn't to bring feature parity or continue classic forever but instead abandon the pro app, and focus on the consumer based app that has makes a lot more and has a much larger market of users. Though that would then only leave C1 for Pros. So imagine if that is the case it will be many many years away. Here's for hoping either CC gets all these core features or a major design refresh is coming to classic (though I imagine they would have called Lightroom Pro rather than Lightroom Classic if that was the case ).
