P: Compare Photos and Survey Mode

Please add Survey View to Lightroom CC for Desktop. Sometimes I have multiple photos that are similar and I need to decide which is the best. 

yes, and it's not the only thing. See my recent post...

Just upgraded to latest Lightroom CC. Still no compare/survey view. Still no smart albums. Well, I guess that means I won't open up the app again until the next update to see if these NECESSARY features have been added. Until then the app is a waste of hard drive space. It's unfathomable to me that Adobe expects people to use this app without these basic features. Crazy pills! 

You can change sort order, but you can't really customize it one off. On the desktop you can select multiple photos from the thumbnail row on the bottom and then move between them.

It's frustrating how I feel like I need to switch between devices - it's a lot faster to edit on my iPad Pro vs 2016 MBP, but the iPad exports photos in a random order which makes file names / time stamp useless for sorting, and I can't select arbitrary photos to compare.  It'd be nice if I could either choose the laptop or tablet as ideal editing device vs switching between them.

Gotcha. Abc Dfg asked for custom ordering to swipe back and forth. That's not available on the desktop yet, but is available on mobile already.

Some kind of compare view certainly gets my support though, as I agree it's a pain to compare photos that aren't next to each other.

Original comment: "Even if you can't make the "compare" feature, then at least allow custom ordering so you can compare two photos by hit/swipe left/right."

You can't swipe between photos selected using the select tool. I guess you could save a certain star rating to only use for photos you want to compare and then filter and then remove it once done... but that's a PITA for a pretty simple feature. Just add a compare button along with add / move / share / delete at the bottom.

You should be able to swipe between photos on a phone right now.

The idea that they won't introduce features (like comparing photos) on tablet or desktop because they won't work well on a phone.

It's been out for over a year now, being able to slide between selected photos on phone shouldn't be a massive deal.

What are you saying you can do on the desktop but not mobile Carl? They are aiming for feature parity but they're not there yet.

You can do this on the desktop version, but not mobile, which gets around their "feature parity" excuse as well.
