P: Support for Live Photos

Something funny I noticed is that Adobe Spark supports them. Gave me a bit of a laugh.

Just curious if there is any kind of update on a possible ETA for a feature like this?

Yes please add Live Photos support, if not everywhere, then at least to the iOS apps specifically. I stopped using Lightroom for a while to see if I could live with just photos and Google Photos, and to be honest I found it really hard apart from one thing - Live Photos. They are a game changer for capturing not just the photo but the context, background noise laughter music wind etc. Brings the memory to life. Please support this at least similar to Google Photos, if not better 🙂

Checked in on this every several months hoping for full Live Photo support. That is, being able to export a Live Photo from Photos import into Lightroom, have Lightroom show it as a state where you can choose which is the featured image and if I export it back to Photos, it should show up as it did originally with the special Live photos UI where its not a video but a photo with multiple photos inside and you can choose the exact one that captured the moment. Same with Portrait mode, being able to export portrait photos edit depth of field in Lightroom and being able to export back to Photos later on. In the meantime I leave all Live Photos and Portrait photos in Apple Photos until we can be assure we can move them back later without losing any functionality.

Live Photo’s WHEN

No, don't like that plan. 

Something interesting...when I do a search I see the pics as individual hard to tell if Live Photo and original pic however, if not searching on Mac it does show them as a stack (see pic). Confusing, trying to figure out this puzzle.



I will make it work one way or another as I see LR CC worth it!

Good luck..that's literally why I didn't start using LR cc.
Maybe you can delete all pics(& videos) taken by iPhone in LR and manage all iPhone pics in Photos.

Ok, so now that I have done the Apple Photos migration to LR CC and all of my Live Photos are appearing as videos what do I do? Fine, do want the video file but also need the pic so I don't have to see the "play" button blocking it??? What is the process to fix this?

I had started a discussion about why I am not seeing Live Photos in LR CC on new pics taken after the migration but at this stage I would rather have Live Photos reside in the Photos app and pics in LR CC until they can address this.

Please advise....feel like I have quit a bit of manual work to do to fix this.

You don't, though. You only get the image file, and therein lies the problem. Not much point to a cloud backup service if it's not backing up everything.

Let's keep it friendly in here Digital. I get emails with everyones replies, which might be the same for him.  What is expected to be said?  The general consensus is it doesn't work as it does with Apple Photos of Google Photos.  There's not much to say.
