Adding left/right swiping to navigate back and forward in Adobe Lightroom on mobile devices would greatly enhance the user experience and streamline the editing workflow. With a swipe gesture, users could effortlessly move back saving time and reducing the need for trying to tap the backwards arrow, which can be missed requiring additional taps to get back. This interaction would provide a fluid and natural way to navigate, empowering users to focus more on their creative process and make quick adjustments on the go. It's all about convenience and efficiency, making editing in Lightroom a seamless and enjoyable experience for mobile users.

I found out you have to go into the settings, then early acccess and finally you have to turn tech preview which allows you to swipe but you would not be able to swipe whilst editing which was something we could do before, hope this helps you a bit.

Understood but why isn't that a general funtion? Adobe has been going strong for at least 10 years this should be a no brainer for them, to implement into the lightroom system,

Well said OP (original poster) I do not understand why they took away that function because before signing up for premium, I could swipe left/right before, during and after editing now I can do none of that. Truthfully I wish I never signed up for the premium but we live and learn

Why can't I scroll through my photos anymore?

  • You can turn on the Swipe through device photos toggle in the Technology Preview to quickly swipe through the pictures in the editing mode. This toggle is turned off by default.
