P: Manage Profiles / Profile groups

In Lightroom Mobile I desperately need a proper camera profile management option, that allows for hiding and deleting of entire profile groups.

 

In my editing workflow I rely heavily on custom profiles (not to be confused with presests) and over time I imported quite a lot of them - most of which I do not use anymore. 

 

Now in Lightroom CC Desktop (not to be confused with Lightroom Classic) one can only (but at least) hide profile groups. Even if I prefered an option to delete an entire group at once as well - going through hundreds or even thousands of individual profiles deleting them via right-click isn't really an option for me - this allows me to only show the profile groups I use on a regular basis and keep my workflow simple.

 

In Lightoom Mobile on the other hand, there is no way to hide or delete entire profile groups (yet alone single profiles) and neither is the information about which profiles are beeing hidden in Lightroom CC Desktop beeing synchronized.

 

When editing an image I need to scroll through the entire list of profile groups every time I want to change the profile (which is the starting point of my workflow).

This makes the otherwise amazing support for profiles in Lightroom Mobile virtually unusable for me, since it's just too cumbersome of a process. 

And I know about the possibility of creating a preset that only applies one specific profile, but creating dozens of presets and updating them every time the profiles are updated isn't much less of a pain.

 

I really would appreciate it if Lightroom Mobile would (at least) get a feature that allows to hide entire profile groups (including the default ones from adobe). 

 

On top of that, it would be even better if there was an option to delete entire profile groups too (in Lightroom Mobile as well as in Lightroom CC Desktop).

Hello! All the functionality you described was actually mostly possible and available not too long ago. Sadly was removed from mobile version sometime between the summer and now. 

I definitely need them to re-enable this.

Hello! Sometime in the end of the summer, Lightroom mobile was updated, and the profiles section is messed up now.

No way to hide unused profiles or groups. Also, it does not open the favourites section first like it used to. I use profiles every day, PLEASE fix this and let me manage my profiles like I was able to before.

I have tried re-installing the app and no use. My app version (as of posting this 29.10.2024) is 10.0.1 450863/171

Hello @TaneliFoto 

I think you are referring to Presets, as that part of the Lightroom iOS app was indeed revised recently.

 

If you open the Presets UI in the editor, you can tap on the 3-dot button at the top right and choose Manage Presets.  There, you can toggle on/off which preset groups the app will show.

 

This help page for LR Android is close to the iOS experience and may help if you read it: https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-cc/using/presets-lightroom-android.html
