P: Lightroom Desktop: Ability to print

Where to start!!!!

 

(1) Have you transferred the images from your camera to your computer?

 

(2) Did you install Photoshop on your computer?

 

(3) Did you set your OS to use Photoshop as the program with which to open a picture file?

 

(4) Did you open a picture? (doubt that you did based on your statements above)

 

(5) Do you know how to send a picture from Photoshop to your printer?

 

(6) Is your printer's driver installed on your computer and is the printer connected to your computer?

 

(7) ..... it goes on from here:  Basic knowledge of basic operation of a computer needs to be learned.

Please can you get this feature added. The syncing features of lightroom don't seem to exist anywhere else and are fantastic - my wife and I can each take photos, have them automatically sync to the cloud, and then edit / organise them once anywhere on phone, ipad, laptop, Mac. This isn't "pro" use, just family with lots of photos like everyone these days. But as well as using print services we also like to print our own photos at home. How is it possible that this isn't built in? Given how well this works I don't really want to have to ditch the whole thing and try to move to some other cloud storage and photo application just to simply the things like printing

Just like everyone else, I understand that Lightroom CC is a cloud backed asset (image) management software but I cannot understand Adobe's push to Creative Cloud, if the cloud apps are going to be so limited.  It has taken me a while to move from Lightroom Classic to Creative Cloud and I'm starting to get use to the interface.  Not having a simple print facility is beyond me.  I use to love going into Lightroom Classic and print 1 or more photo's per A4 page knowing that the images would be correct size on the paper ie. printing an 8x10 on an A4 page.  I was really hoping that Lightroom CC was going to replace flickr.com for web-storage and nicely integrate my mobile photos with my camera photos into one spot but that opinion is being shattered.

Yeah, marketing pages aren't known for listing the things they don't do. There is face recognition in Classic.

It's dumbfounding that there is no print function on Lightroom CC.  This is a very basic function.  It frustrating that this isn't mentioned on any of the product page or in the tutorials.

And also that there is no facial recognition on Classic.  

Yet, printing has always been an essential part of top professional photo editing applications. Adobe is definitely pushing to go the CC route yet they omit this basic option? Priorities change...I get this. But the lack of printing option for long time users shows the priority is not the end user. I can see asking for some other type of non common feature but this should be a given. I cannot comprehend how Adobe does not get this. Say what you want about teams and our priorities changing but it is just defending a ridiculous omission.
The simple fact is Adobe decided to go this route with Lightroom a few years ago. At that time they obviously had the "resources" they needed to do this. That is the time they should have add a print module. 

I may not keep my trial subscription to Lightroom CC without print capabilities. 

> Why don't you give us either the list of priorities

I'd love to, but they won't publish it because it changes constantly, based on feedback from users, operating system changes, things that other teams are working on, all sorts of things. But then, I'm sure your priorities change frequently too. That's just life.

The votes here are taken into account when prioritizing though, so the best thing you can do is vote on all the requests that matter to you.

Hum...

Probably because if you see some request / problem at the end of the list, you are aim to cancel your subscription. 

I imagine the frustration of the man how is in charge of create this snag list. 

To not forget, the list is probably huge. LR classic is an old piece of software. Mobile is brand new (2YO). And Adobe a really big and old company. Big dinosaur are strong but slow.

Don't forget the simple Acrobat Reader is a 500Mo piece of software only to open, print and fill formular.
Everytime you open Acrobat, a message prompt you something for you to accept (document preparation or I can't remember what) and you need to search internet how to disable this functionally in a very long setup menu. This functionality cost so much to users in lost time and Adobe don't care about.

So how do you want them to add a such complex feature.

They are not even able to create a proper import windows on Classic (Mac OS) without overlapping problem in GUI...
