I really miss the ability to pick 1-2-3 similar photos from a shoot and compare them during my editing process to pick the beset one of the three.

Please bring that back to this version.

It's still exactly where it was, in the ... menu when you're in an edit view.

I am no longer seeing the option to compare a RAW to the finished photo in the newest update.  Anyone have any idea where this moved to?

A focus mask would help when culling, too. It'd be a bit more useful than just watching two images side by dide.

I need survey mode to help me to process event photos quickly. It is one of only a few features that make me want to fight the terrible sync process to try to use Classic to process photos.

I agree, how else can you go through hundreds or thousands of photos? Sensei should group similar photos and autosuggest the best one, user selects which one they want, then auto advance. Point it at an album or an import date, also let the user select a series of images on the fly, not just what sensei thinks belongs together.

Agree, lac of a compare mode is a big reason not to switch from Classic. It would be a great help to have mobile and desktop on the same program.

Please consider adding Survey View to Lightroom CC. It is very important to be able to compare 2 or more similar photos. The lack of this feature may force me to go back to using Lightroom Classic. It is a huge time saver when editing for a client.

I absolutely agree, Lightroom CC needs to have Survey View. It is pretty critical for professional use.
