Was going through bunch of photos I took at an event and using the tilde key (~) to check my picks for edit. Was more or less through all of the 1.2K pictures, when I accidentally hit ESC key located right above, and lost all progress. Is it really that hard to put in a "Do you really want to cancel?" pop up here? Lost like 30 minutes of work. This is UX 101 guys

Exposure Bias is not currently a searchable field, pleaseinclude it in the Metadata Library Filters. Multiple reasons why this is useful, from photographers who use bracketing, and want to sort through images at 0ev, using fixed exposure compensation on shoots and wanting to select and increase exposure in sets. The list goes on. As this is a Metadata field, and can be displayed in cells, please allow filtering by it too. Thank you.

Love the new feature for AI distractions of people and reflections.. Lets expand on that!!   As a wedding photographer I am constantly removing power lines, stop signs, or just signs in general, exit lights.. It would HUGE if these were added as additional AI options for distraction removal. Feels like it would be a fairly easy addition.    Posted a screenshot as an example.. AI generative fill defintely takes care of it no problem but would save time if we didn't need to manually select it. 

I just updated to Lightroom Classic 14.4 and although I do like the fact that I can Denoise without creating a DNG file, I still would like the option to select a series of images and menu: Photo>Enhance... to let it create dngs in the background which enables me to work on other images while it;s doing those. Currently, in 14.4 it takes a long time, especially if I have multiple images that I am denoising and I cannot do anything elese while it's doing that process. Is there still a way possible to do it the old previous way of creating a DNG Denoised file? Seems like an oversight when implementing this new way and slows down my whole workflow.

The new lens blur function generates a depth map from images without depth information. It would be nice to be able to use this depth map for mask creation. Right now only lumance and color range is support here, but depth range is disabled if the image doesn't contain a depth map. In this case an AI generated depth map could be used to enable depth range based masks even if no depth data is recorded in the image.

HiI do a lot of video editing and really like using the RGB Parade and Vectorscope. Histogram for photos aren't as detailed. Is there any plugins or features that have similar functions like RGB Parade and Vectorscope for use inside Lightroom or maybe as an external editor? Best regards Simon

Currently in the SDK we have LrApplicationView.getSecondaryViewName()We need to have the same BUT for the “main screen” view and thus be able to detect which view we are in the Library module.So Please implement an API to get the current “main view”Hypothetical API LrApplicationView.getMainViewName()Returns the name of the view currently showing on the main screenReturn valueviewName (string) The name of the main view being shown, one of: "loupe", "live_loupe", "locked_loupe", "grid", "compare", "survey", "slideshow", or nil. 

How to turn off display of milliseconds (capture time). Milliseconds are useless to me, but they clutter the grid view and make it impossible to quickly review capture time for long burst of bird photos when trying to determine when a burst ends and a new beginning. Just want to turn off the milliseconds and keep the seconds (as in the previous version)  

The panel scroll bar and close panel bar arrow section are annoyingly close together. On a 4K monitor (and possibly lower resolutions) the panel scroll bar is so thin that it's easy to press the close button instead. This is frustrating when trying to select the appropriate tool and you just keep closing/unclosing the panels. Is it possible to either increase the size of the scroll bar, be able to lock the panel in place or a mix of the two. Cheers,

Just an ability to add different textures to an image.

I would appreciate if LR would support images with 65k x 65k pixels (i.e. drop the overall 512M-pixel limit). I have several stiched images, that I can not handle with Lightroom, and I do not want to use two different Applications to manage my images. P.S. and please make the limit 2^16 x 2^16 and not 65000x 56000.

I use a 13" Samsung laptop Windows-11 PC.When I open the preferences interface tab I cannot see the lower left corner button to restart Lightroom Classic after making changes to any options such as the Font Size option. Please allow user to proportionlly resize the window by grabbing a corner or top or bottom of window just like cropping an image in the Develop Module "Crop Overlay" panel.

Customizable keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom would be great. I just find it so confusing that crop and brush tools and things like that have such odd keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom. I understand that changing that all now would be awful for many existing users, but being able to override them like I can in Photoshop would be helpful. Doesn't anyone else out there find they use to wrong keyboard shortcuts in the wrong program?

Mouse Scroll wheel does not work on Lightroom sliders on mac. Comming from windows these function is missing a lot on Mac.

In Development module, color mixer or sharpening the idea is to press and hold with mouse, and move the slider left and right. This is not a very accurate way of changing the settings and I believe using the scroll (mouse or mousepad) would enhance this part of the edit process. For example: One could select the exposure setting, go in to ‘move slider by scrolling’ feature and scroll comfortably up and down, until a preferred lighting has been achieved. Can you understand my explanation, and what do you think?

I asked a question about the different defringe tools in masks vs. global, but no one knew the answer.  I am now requesting a new feature.  Please add the mask Defringe to the global edits.  It works much better than the current global Defringe and also is much easier to use without all the bad side-effects that the global one often has.  Currently the kludge is to create a linear gradient that covers the whole image and then use the mask Defringe, but it would be easier to just make the mask version of Defringe in the global edit controls.  Sure, keep the old one too for those who want to use that one.https://community.adobe.com/questions-675/defringe-mask-vs-global-1556459In a mask we can use the Defringe control and it works well.  Sometimes I create a mask over an area using a brush or gradient solely to use the Defringe tool.  Why is Defringe in a mask so easy to use, effective, and without the bad side effects of the complex Defringe in the global tools?The global Defringe tool r

Identifying people in a large collection can become kind of a mess, because then I might have lots of people identified and struggle to find the right people. I wish there would be the chance to create folders to group specific people, such as Family, Friends, Work colleagues, BTT Group, etc.

Hi, Nikon has released FW 2.0 for the Nikon Zf two weeks ago, which finally enables Flexible Color on the camera (similar to the Z6III). This enables users to create "recipes"/LUTs so to speak within NX Studio, and export them as .NP3 files onto the Zf/Z6III/Z50II.    Upon importing the JPEG + RAWs to Lightroom (as of the latest release 14.3), there is no "Flexible Color" Camera Matching Profile on the Zf like there is on the Z6III. Please see the attached screenshots for your reference. I believe this should be fixed/added via an update to Camera Raw.   As someone who is 95% satisfied with my "custom .NP3 flexible color settings" on my Zf to achieve the images I want, there's only a slightly edit I want to apply to the RAWs. But, importing them into Lightroom automatically applies Camera Standard (and not Flexible Color, like it does on the Z6III). As expected, this results in a very different look and strong color shift since it isn't saving the Flexible Color inf

Following a discussion on the LR4 beta forum: Converting to CMYK and soft proofing in CMYK are two completely different things, so at least we need a CMYK softproofing. During the last years I ran into a lot of problems due to modern LED lightning on the scene, it is able to produce colors (especially in the blues) far away out of the CMYK color space. Converting pictures to CMYK later after my initial processing can change a picture dramatically, a bit similar to a conversion to b/w. So even if you have to deliver your material in RGB and someone else is doing a professional conversion later, you should be able to predict what can happen to your material! So if you deliver material that will be converted – earlier or later – to CMYK: You need at least a simple soft proof. Otherwise it can happen that you deliver material that simply can’t be published.

I would like too see the mask marked in red (my mask) in the list marked in blue (options) in attached screen shot. Better if LR can automatically (using AI like body parts in portrait pictures) create some luminance and color masks too.

Woudl love to be able to select a previous mask when adding/removing. For example, I shoot a lot of lifestyle/product images on a Fjord in Alaska like the ones attached. I mask the beach, water, mountains and sky separately.   When masking the mountains, it would be great so select background, subtract sky, then subtract pre-existent mask "Ground" and mask "Water" that I have already created. That would ensure a perfect boundary between the two and make the flow really quick.     

Can we please get a client review system from Lightroom Classic or Lightroom Web for shared albums that allow the client to see, view, and sort their hearts and others hearts.  They need the ability to turn on and off all the other photos that have not been rated by them or others as well.    It’s impossible to use Lightroom and I need to switch from using the application and platform because there is no easy way to share an album that allows a client control over the review process.The client currently does not have the ability to sort images by my ratings, flags, or color labels.   They can’t see flags, color labels, or ratings no matter the access level given.  They can’t sort by their own hearts or comments.  They can’t see others hearts or comments.   The whole ecosystem only allows one person to do anything and no way to have a client satisfied with their control to review the images in a shared album.  This current ecosystem makes Lightroom non-professional and not fitting for a

Hi Could you please consider replacing the current jpeg export code used  by Lightroom / Camera raw with jpegli ?   I tested it and it's compression efficiency is much better than the one you currently use, resulting in smaller jpeg files for same quality or better quality files for same size   Thank you   https://opensource.googleblog.com/2024/04/introducing-jpegli-new-jpeg-coding-library.html   https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/blob/main/lib/jpegli/README.md   https://github.com/google/jpegli  

Currently the Previous button is useful, PROVIDED you only want to apply those setttings on the next image you select. But what happens if you are scrolling past multiple frames of the same scene and then decide you want to apply those ‘previous’ settings, then you have to go back to that original edit and copy/paste it. It’s a total waste of time, especially if, like me, you use copy and paste to store your preset look adjustments to speed up workflow (so you don’t have to go up and click on the preset for each image for large volume event / product edits). Please modify the Previous button so it doesn't forget the last edit when you click on more than one other thumbnail (as happens now) and the workflow will be supercharged. Or at least make this AN OPTION YOU CAN TOGGLE on/off on the PREVIOUS BUTTON. I cannot tell you how much going back and forth this would eradicate - with Copy/Paste for your preset look together with previous for the last ‘entire’ edit (incl. crop / remove, etc)
