P: Enable photo merge (Pano & HDR) with imported images

Hi Rikk, I get this but not sure why this is relevant to my remark.
When are stacks/virtual copies coming to iOS/iPadOS? Are there any plans at all to bring panorama stitching to mobile? It would be great if anyone could share a rough roadmap of what to expect. The mobile versions are lagging behind tremendously in comparison to their Windows/macOS Lightroom CC counterparts.

@11600604 Updates are pushed on Adobe Servers prior to any announcements, acknowledgements, and other notes being made.  The reason for this is to ensure that most persons worldwide have the update available at the time off official announcements. 

Fixed bugs, released features and other notes have been added to the appropriate threads starting at 6 AM Pacific Time. Blog posts and help document updates are live across the system as of the same time.

What a lousy update ! Nothing new and reported bugs, acknowledged and announced to be fixed are not fixed at all...

Another update released (5.2).... Sadly, again without any real features added. No panorama/HDR stitching (which is perfectly possible in Affinity Photo so hardware can handle it), no stacks or virtual copies like on desktop, ...

As many who like to work on the go, I'm solely dependent on iPad for most of my workflows and would love to keep it that way without duplicating my images / works onto a desktop (with limited cloud storage for sync).

I can 100% switch to ipad if I am able to:

1. merge Pano / HDR
2. store catalog or raw onto an external storage along-with edits

with limited storage on device and cloud it has become cumbersome when using ipad on the go. The above two features are badly needed by many many lightroom users. Hope Adobe takes this ahead, since the new ipadOS provides better external storage features.

I'm not talking early subscription days Antoine, I'm talking days of LR1. They're able to be a lot more open when they're dealing with very young software, because there's a lot less complexity, so they're far more likely to be able to do what they say they will. It gets harder as software ages, as there's a whole bunch of additional stuff that can go wrong when they attempt something. You'd hate it even more if they gave a roadmap and then found they couldn't fulfill it.

I want this too! Please add panorama & HDR merge asap!!

I didn’t remember because I didn’t jump into the subscription based model until the reviews were better 😉 I think it’s a major complaint about PS and in a lower measure (but still) LR: paying full price (subscription) for a software still in beta phase.

But my point in my comment was about receiving (almost) official information about LR not revealing a roadmap and why the couldn’t, but then revealing one. Like they do it when it’s suits THEM and not when customer are worried about development en energy invested in a software.

When I pay so much for a software, I’d like to be sure my money is used well (or even at all!) and know where it’s heading. And it is not the case 😉

Antoine, you might remember that they did something similarly open with Lightroom when it was still a baby. Things gets more complicated as programs grow up though.

You won’t get an ETA, Adobe does not provide it because [stupid excuse]... Oh, wait! They did when they released PS for mobile and was so badly received. Then they can release a roadmap!
Bottom line is: Adobe decides when they release a feature, maybe it’s already developed, but it’s in their interest to retain updates as long as the market is sain. Their is no commitment whatsoever.
