In effects and presets tab, when you make a preset in the preset properties tab, there can be a label color selector! (just like markers and clip tags)
Hi! I would have only one small request.I usually use Icon View in my muster bin. Match frame and Reveal in Project are frequently used featrures too. Now in Dark Mode this way (Match frame + Reveal in Project) selection is barely visible. It's a dark grey field on a darker grey background.Can we have a better visibility for the selected file? A lighter selection would be much better with this dark background. Thank you!
I work with images creating slideshows and it would be quicker if i could duplicate an image and drop it at the start of the marker, rather than copy, paste then drag to marker. Thanks
Synced CTI between PP & AE when using dynamically linked comps. I can't tell you how many times I have to bounce back to AE to guess at timing, when this feature would elimintae any more guesswork.
1st choice would be a complete set of stack ops, but my present need is just to be able to expand a stack so a photo can be selected that's under another. Another solution to my immediate need (and some others) would be to have the 'setSelectedPhotos' method always expand stacks as necessary *and* make active whatever source is needed to make the specified photo(s) selected (at least as an option...).
In LRC it can use "+" "-" to adjust the exposure. But LRC really slow....LR is fater than LRC, But why didn't have shortcut key??
I would suggest putting the Change to Color plugin back in premiere. I went to use these features recently and noticed that they removed it in this version.
Say I'm processing a series of files, making similar but not identical changes to each file. I'll probably have a source directory and a destination directory that's common throughout the sequence of operations. These directories might be on different drives and with differing levels of hierarchy. This necessitates a relentless repetitious sequence of mouse clicks as I change from input file locations\ to output file location. It'd be useful if PS could learn what I was doing and helped me out here. Perhaps before I started, I could identify the two locations and PS could remember and use them automatically until I told it to stop.
Firstly, I have searched the discussions here and found plenty of gripes by others, but nothing indicating a workaround or that Adobe is doing anything about it, so please try to resist crucifying me for not being diligent. Adobe Lightroom Classic 13.0.1; Build 202310121438 (but this behavior has been present for years) Any time Lightroom is 'working', i.e. importing photos, removing photos from catalog, things that take minutes not seconds, I have found I can't even use Alt-Tab to switch to another window. When I do, the screen flashes and resets my attempt, prevents it, multiple times per second. When Lightroom is not actively working, it still takes two alt-tabs to get to another application in Windows. This behavior is unacceptable. I can only assume Adobe forced this behavior to 'help us', but how can they still believe this is helpful in any way? It diminishes my love for Adobe products significantly, and makes me wonder what they're thinking. Is there anyone out there who appreciates this behavior? If so, I can't imaging they are more than 0.01% of users. Adobe, please offer a setting to turn this behavior off. It serves no purpose other than to annoy users. PS: Just alt-tabbing from this web browser window to Lightroom About, Lightroom actively tries to prevent me from alt-tabbing away from it. Seriously??
I’m reaching out regarding the “double-tap spacebar” function in Premiere Pro, which currently returns the playhead to the beginning of the timeline (or to the in-point). While I understand that the single-tap spacebar is configured as a “Play/Stop Toggle,” the double-tap feature often disrupts my workflow by unintentionally sending the playhead back to the start.Could Adobe consider removing this double-tap function or allowing users to toggle it on or off? Ideally, I would love to continue using the spacebar as a “Play/Stop Toggle” without any additional functionality, so playback simply stops and resumes from wherever I am on the timeline.Thank you for anyone considering this update as well—it would greatly improve the editing experience for those of us who need precise control over playback without unintentional jumps to the beginning.
Would like an export function for the Adobe Stock License History page.This would help with allocating costs based on usage.Functions for limiting access to a particular user or user group would also help.
The Track Matte effect in Premiere Pro almost never works the way we editors need it to, and it's high time this essential effect gets fixed!When creating a Track Matte, changing the Motion parameters of the clip the effect is applied to also changes the resulting matte. For example, if I zoom my clip to 120%, the clip zooms 120% but so does the matte. This makes it impossible to move a clip within a matte's 'window' without nesting. The current way to get around this is to nest the clip, apply the Track Matte effect to the nest rather than the clip itself, and then edit the clip's Motion settings/keyframes within the nest. Unfortunately this is a HORRIBLE workflow, since it forces editors to edit their clip's motion settings and keyframes out of context of the master sequence. It also involves the extra steps of nesting.After Effects handles masking the way it should work: making any changes to a clip doesn't affect the resulting matted effect. This is the way it should also work in Premiere Pro!!!!!!!!!!A simple way to fix this problem, that would serve the needs of everyone, would be to simply add a "Motion Settings Affect Matte" checkbox to the Track Matte effect, and leave it unchecked by default. This way, the 0.0001% of users who want track mattes to work the way they currently work in Premiere could continue with the current workflow, just by clicking the checkbox, and the 99.9999% of users who want PP's matting to work the way it does in AE could finally have AE's far superior matting workflow inside Premiere!The AE team gets it. Why can't the PP team understand how track matting should work???Adobe, Track Matte is one of those effects that pro editors use all of the time! We would really, truly, greatly appreciate it if you could finally make time in your busy schedule to fix this essential tool before resuming attention to other features that are used by far fewer people.Thank you!!!!!
I would like to have the option to choose the location when exporting photos. I would also like to have the option to see thumbnails of photos in the gallery while editing, like in LR Classic. Better optimization of the layout for tablets
Hey all, I'm building MOGRTs more and more, and I often use a ton of expressions as I find it can really help speed up the animation workflow. I'd like to ask for some kind of global object to use in expressions. This would make expressions many times more efficient and lightweight to run. It could be a global function or class, but I think an object would be preferable. An example from a recent project is where there are many moving elements that are adjustable via the EGP (essential graphics panel). Depending on the user inputs in EGP, the layers move differently or at different times. Due to the way AFX expressions work, I had to write a script and then copy and modify it for every single layer, and in that script there was a lot of duplication in the script. When there was an amendment to the script, I had to edit every instance of that script and account for any unique properties of that layer. Imagine then, I have a global object that is iniated at begining of project and is accessible to every layer: const global = {};Using this, I can create a single layer that runs a streamlined, lightweight version of the expressions and outputs it to global like this: t = thisComp.layer("controls").effect("type")("Menu"); s = thisComp.layer("controls").effect("size")("Slider"); d = thisComp.layer("controls").effect("duration")("Slider"); // Calculate how the inputs affect the properties if (f == 1) { output1 = linear(time, 0, d, 0, s); output2 = linear(time, d, 0, s, 0); } else if (f == 2) { output1 = linear(time, 0, d, 50, s); output2 = linear(time, d, 0, s, 50); } else { output1 = linear(time, 0, (d*2), 0, s); output2 = linear(time, d, 0, (s*2), 0); } s = thisComp.layer("style").text.sourceText.style; s = s.setText(val) global = { "layer1" : { "position" : [0,output1], "opacity" : linear(time, 0, d, 0, output1), }, "layer2" : { "position" : [0,output1], "opacity" : linear(time, 0, d, 0, output1-output2), }, "layer3" : { "position" : [0,output1], "opacity" : linear(time, 0, d, 0, output1+output2), } } Consider the above script, I can do a round of calculations and assign those to the global variable, and then in layer1 I can simply call global["layer1"].position in an expression in the position property. This saves recalculating everything for every layer, which is what I currently have to do. I did try to find a workaround: I created a text layer, set it up like so, and set the text output to: "JSON.encode(global)". I then read the text layer with other layers and used JSON.parse() to read it in. It worked a bit but it was buggy and clearly didn't like it. I'd find a global object that could be used in expressions very useful and valuable in AFX please!
I have nothing 2a plus model (Android). Adobe aero is compatible with this model but it's loading only after opening app. I wanted to work on few AR projects but it's not supporting. It will be so helpful if Aero starts working in Nothing 2a.
I would like to see some way to know if a raw file contains saved snapshots, especially in Camera Raw. In Lightroom Classic Virtual Copies become visible so you know what other versions you've saved. In Camera Raw there is no easy way to tell if I've saved a snapshot (for example a b&w version) with a raw file without opening the snapshots panel. I have made extensive use of snapshots in raw files I edited in the past so that I may not remembere that I've created any snapshots for that image when I open it again. Having an indication (like a dot or making the snapshots icon lighter/brighter) would really help find such features. (A snapshot indicator would also be helpful in Lightroom Classic.)
The Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) is widely considered to be one of the best ways to manage color in the color grading phase of post-production and is essentially an industry standard.I noticed in the 2024 update for After Effects that it now implements the OCIO color management solution for supporting the ACES color workflow. So anyone working in After Effects can now use the ACES color workflow.I would like to also see this implemented for Premiere Pro as well so that editors and colorists can now work in the ACES workflow. Even though most professional colorists aren't often using Premiere to color grade, this can still be useful for encouraging editors, content creators, freelancers, as well as independent filmmakers to be able to dive in and understand the ACES color workflow.Other editing platforms, such as DaVinci Resolve, support ACES; so I'd love to see Premiere Pro also join the party.I personally believe including ACES support for Premiere Pro will make the ACES color workflow more accessible as well as making color management more simple and consistent.
A feature I've wanted for a long time in Photoshop is session restore, which some other image editing programs have. More than just a list of recent files opened, this feature would attempt to re-open files that were open when Photoshop was last closed, and also try to position each file's window/tab like they were when Photoshop was closed. This enables a user to stop work for the day, close Photoshop, even restart their computer, then seamlessly resume work later when Photoshop is reopened. This can be big QoL for users that often work with a lot of files open at the same time.Of course, files would still need to be saved before Photoshop could successfully close. For example, this test Photoshop session depicted below could potentially be restored if Photoshop was closed then reopened (all files would of course need be saved first): 🙏
Although LR provides a way to preview an output by going into the UI that allows the parameters to be selected to export an image, it is rather cumbersome. It would be very useful to provide a one-click preview of the contemplated export. Capture One provides this with an icon that looks like a pair of eyeglasses. LR has a "Soft Proofing" check box, but I don't know what if anything it does other than turning the background white. I use my watermark / signature in three colors (white, black and gray), and I use one of them depending on the image. Currently I don't have a good way to tell which signature might best work for a photo without first exporting it as a JPEG. Instead, if the Soft Proofing showed me what the exported image actually looked like, I could change my watermark. Hope this is useful input.
I'm sure most photographers who shoot thousands of images rename their files. I typically have more than one camera and multiple lenses for each of my project, and before I start shooting, I synchronize all my cameras to the same local time. When I bring up the raw images in LR, I sort them in the order they were shot, and I rename the images using the following convention: YY-MMDD Event-#### (Camera, Lens) <other qualifiers> For example: 23-0913 Istanbul-0563 (LEICA SL2,APO-SUMMICRON-SL 1-2-90 ASPH.) 23-0913 Istanbul-0564 (Fujifilm GFX100 II, GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6 WR) There are very good reasons for me to be able to rename these files further with a "Search" and "Replace". The camera and lens names (obtained from the EXIF data) are typically unweildy and create long file names. I would like to be able to do a search and replace text strings, so I can streamline the names, e.g., into something like: 23-0913 Istanbul-0563 (SL2, SL90APO) 23-0913 Istanbul-0564 (GFX100 II, GF35-70) At other times, I may have misspelled a name, e.g., "Taznaina" instead of "Tanzania". I would like to search and replace the word for all my files. It would not be practical to simply rename them all, since I might have culled and deleted some images, output and shared some others, etc., so to rename all files would also renumber many files, and that would cause a lot of confusion. So I hope LR will provide the ability to batch rename images. This is a feature Capture One provides, and I have found it extremely valuable. Also, while at it, I highly recommend providing a "Rename" by right-clicking any image, either in Develop or Library mode. Such a renaming feature would be extremely handy. Hope others find these inputs useful.
Hi, I have three suggestions for the Reference View UI that Capture One provides, and I hope LR will also. First, I should be able to use the Shift key to drill down into both images, and also, pan within both images, as long as I am holding down the Shift key. This lets me quickly compare two images for sharpness, micro contrast, color, etc. at different parts of an image. Second, I should be able to click to select either image in situ and be able to edit it. I might be comparing two images from two different cameras, and I might like the way the greens were rendered in one and the magentas were rendered in the other, and neither image might have been perfect. So I ought to be able to tweak either image to bring it closer to the other. If the Reference image is a "gold standard" that should not be disturbed, then it is easy to provide an edit lock for that image. Currently, the only way I can edit the reference image on the left is by also making it the working image on the right, which is very cumbersome.Third, as a follow up to the above, currently if I try to crop the Reference image, I get kicked out of the dual-image mode altogether. Frequently, I am trying to crop two images to the same size, by having the same margins around a subject in the center. I should be able to adjust the cropping on an image with a reference image on the left. Hope this is useful feedback others will also find useful, and they can be implemented.
Hello there, this is a improvement proposal to the channel manipulation in the layer stack.So far you have a selected channel at the top of the layer window, and you have to drop down select the one you want to operate on, this is time consuming. 1) Add an indicator on each layer/folder that uses that channel and have a contribution on it, even a color dot in the layer should be enough. Right now you pick a channel and you see every layer blending mode and amount but you don't know if it has that channel in use in the first place. 2) Add the posibility to: custom shortcut layers channel switch, ctrl+cllick the channel you want to switch to on a layer channels view (since ctrl + click has no use so far)
In my opinion, Adobe have given up the amateur enthusiast photographer customer segment. The amount of marketing doublespeak required to "justify" Adobe's decisions points to its major flaws: Adobe promised (https://blogs.adobe.com/.../lightroom-and-the-creative-cloud....) to keep offering a perpetual license in future versions, thereby influencing buyer decision for Lightroom 6. Then they made it very hard to actually buy the perpetual license version of LR 6, and now they argue that buyers were deliberately choosing the CC version. I believe a significant number of LR users are in the same segment as me: Amateur enthusiast photographers who need a photo management and RAW developer tool, but do not use it on more than one or two devices. For those users, the choice of the perpetual license made the most sense. I am unwilling to pay a monthly amount which will add up the normal upgrade price in under a year, unless it provides me with significant advantages. So, about those advantages... Adobe argued that the 2015 CC version would regularly get new features, which would have been an incentive to choose it over the standalone LR 6 version. Looking at the list of features that have been added to LR 2015 CC, I must say that it's neither long nor that impressive. It certainly does not point to continuous development of the CC version. It would certainly haven't justified the higher cost for LR 2015 CC for me. Nevertheless, Adobe might argue that the new Classic CC version is the right choice for me, as it offers new features and performance improvements. Let's see... The Classic CC version offers some badly needed performance improvements - finally, one might say. However, those are limited to a few specific functions. If Adobe were really serious about LR's performance, they should have really worked on that in LR 5 and 6. Adobe also promise that they will continue to support and develop LR Classic CC. Just as they promised to offer a perpetual version? Honestly: As the development effort seems to have gone mostly towards the new cloud version, visible in the fact that the new LR Classic CC does not really offer that many new or improved features, how likely is it that LR Classic CC is a good choice for the next few years? Well, Adobe might say, if you want the latest and greatest, get the new CC version! Apart from the very unfortunate and confusing choice of product name, the cloud version is not even feature-complete when compared to the classic version, as I understand it. It offers cloud support, though - but I really don't need that as an amateur. Even some professionals seem to balk at the cloud-centric design. So why would I choose a less powerful, but more expensive version? To summarize: Adobe's past behaviour indicates that they can neither be trusted to support the classic CC version long enough nor that choosing the new, much more expensive cloud version will offer true benefits for amateur enthusiast photographers. The most rational choice for me seems to keep using LR 6 with the perpetual license for as long as it is viable, while researching other options for my next toolset.
A MUCH needed tool for the high volume professionals / teams. HIGH VOLUME: Corporate headshots School photographers Sports photographers The ability to use Lightroom's already powerful facial recognition neaural tools for making crop/resize/repositioning adjustments across hundreds or even thousands of photos would be a massive time saving update and likely a feature that would win back many professionals who have converted to: Capture One Pixnub Third party AI tools By way of using a simple reference image or outline the program could run automatically making these adjustments subtly while conforming to a predetermined crop. Please implement this feature. The world of pros who use these tools will thank you.
