P: Please stack RAW+JPEG files

Contrary to Lightroom Classic, Lightroom CC doesn't automatically stack the two photos of a RAW+JPEG pair together. This creates quite a bit of clutter. Could you please implement this feature? Thank you.

I would need this feature as well. I am fairly disappointed that Adobe hasn't addressed this issue either by fixing it or at least commenting on it. This issue is currently the 17th most upvoted topic in the ideas section - certainly not the most important, but important enough to comment on within 5 years.

That is for Classic. It is not available in the cloud version.

Hi all, there is a quick solution.

Enable import of both Raw and JPEG by:
- Go to Lightroom Preferences
- Genera --> (enable) Treat JPEG files next to raw files as separate photos

Then in the library:
1) Select all pics
2) Right click
3) Stacking -> Auto-Stack by Capture Time...
4) Bring the slider to the far left (Smaller stacks 0:00:00)

It's incredulous that a basic feature present in Classic, and has been requested in the Creative Cloud version since 2018  still hasn't been implemented. It is now 2023. That's 5 YEARS.  To copy over code or at least an algorithm that already exists in Classic. It's almost a sick joke at this point (together with dual monitor support), except we users are the butt of it. I know it's no consolation, but I reconfigured my camera to shoot only DMGs.

This is such basic functionality, I don't understand how Adobe haven't implemented it yet. I'm on the verge of cancelling my all apps CC subscription and moving to a competitor, the workflow with Lightroom as it stands is awful if you wish to keep JPEGs and RAWs.

When importing RAW & JPEG files (of the same photo), please can there be an option to automatically stack these in Lightroom CC.

 

This option already exists in Lightroom Classic (see toggle "Treat JPEG files next to RAW files as separate photos"). Please can it be made available in Lightroom CC. Should be easy to do as the feature already exists!

I like all the wo is me posts. How can Adobe not have implemented X?

I will admit I disagree with Adobe on how they prioritze (e.g. I would much rather have manual facial tagging then a new mask). But Adobe does (sort of) listen and fix a number of issues or implement a number of items from the forums. Soon after a release, watch the forum, and you will see a number of threads show up. When you open them it often is a message from Rikk F that it has been implemented or fixed.

My anecdotal number is usually around five to ten bug fixes and at least one/two features implemented. Now, can they just fix facial tagging?

Not likely to happen, I guess it is time to migrate of off Adobe Cloud, since they do not care about the customers at all.

Adobe!!! Please! Is this feature really so hard to implement! You are making the workflow have extra steps vs Classic, I't annoying. Please implement this feature.

wtf it is 2022 and this issue is still there?? oh my gosh I thougt Lightroom CC would be way better than the free Nikon Capture NX-D which supports the stacking but I am shocked that this feature is still not implemented... Sadly I did not knew it before I subscribed to 1 year of Lightroom CC 😞
