Lightroom Classic

New Feature .

This should be a pretty easy feature to add and it would be a great help in the setup for auto-stack.   The relevant window shows how many stacks there will be, but it does not currently say what the sizes of those stacks will be.  A line listing all of the stack sizes, e.g.       Stack sizes:  1, 3, 5 might tell a user that the setting is right whereas a line showing:      Stack sizes: 3, 26 would probably suggest shrinking down the interval a bit.   

The removal tools in Lightroom are very good and I'm very happy with them but the removal tool in Photoshop is really a game changer. It would be nice if the removal tool from Photoshop was also available in Lightroom

I'm trying to repair an old Rob Cole plugin with Chat GPT, and it's occurred to me that it makes no sense how hard it is to determine the preset folder. Rob had a process that fell over if you had two catalogs with different settings under the same Windows user environment. I'm redoinhg it so it reads the largest file in the preferences location, parses it for the storewithcatalog setting, defaults back to appdata if it isn't there, otherwise takes the respective setting and then uses the respective path from the SDK. Any chance Adobe can augment the SDK PathUtils to find the applicable presets root path along with the other standard folders? Can't help feeling that anything we can do is rickety and could fall over. And imagine there are a few similar bits of rickety code out there...

I'm trying to write a new preset that resets the new Point Color section and I am unable to reset that particular section.   Any ideas?   Rich

Hello, I would love for Lightroom to offer the equivalent to the Photoshop "marquee" tool so that I can easily select and deselect a specific area. The reason I need this tool is to have an accurate histogram reading of the selected area.  For now I'm using the crop tool but it's very time consuming. Thank you for your consideration!

Right now there's a single automatic "subject" selection for the focal range. Any surface I want to add is manual, using brushing, which is tedious and inaccurate. It would be nice to be able to point at other objects and have the AI detect them and add/replace them as the focus surface. Add is even more important than replace, because selecting a person as the initial focal surface is usually appropriate, but fixing errors around the subject person is difficult at the moment.

Editing smart collection criteria is cumbersome. Write an edit utility that runs outside Lightroom.  Make this utility open source (e.g. github) so people can enhance it.

List out all the unique photos in each catalog and all the photos contained in both catalogs.  For duplicates, list out the DEVELOP history and highlight differences.

I see a lot of questions about features and configuration in the BOOK module.  Third party plug-ins could address many of these points.

Facial Recognition has serious issues, and in my experince, often suggests the wrong name for a person.

I use the filmstrip in the map module, but never in the library view or the develop module. It would be desirable if it is remembered module-specifically whether the filmstrip was shown or not.

Hello After upgrading to LR Classic 11 (Windows 10 21H1) I realized that the icons for crop/resize, repair tool and the new masking functionality are too small on my 4k screen - on my second monitor (2k resolution) everything looks fine. I attached a screenshot: Left = 4k screen, Right = 2k screen. Can you check and fix this for the  next release? Thanks, Thomas  

Hi all. In order to jump directly into HDR editing we could have a practical "Create HDR Virtual Copy" option in the "Photo" menu. I suggest also to assign the following KBSC for the option: Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + '    Without an Adobe kbsc one could still assign a custom kbsc to the option via Any Shortcut by @johnrellis    I know we can do the taks in 2 steps "Create VC > activate HDR" but I think the most common and best workflow is to create a VC for HDR so the option and the direct KBSC would be practical.   Creating a HDR VC could also be achievable by "Shift + click HDR button = VC is created with that mode already enabled"   .      

Lightroom displays a histogram as a line chart with semi-transparent areas under the curve making it easy to see each individual series. Lightroom Classic displays an area chart for its histogram making it impossible to see hidden details of those series behind the front ones. Is there a way to configure Lightroom Classic to be the same style chart?  

I suggest to implement the ability to hover over  a History Step and/or Snapshot to preview them full screen. This would be like the Hover Preview for Presets but for History Steps and Snapshots.   I understand this would a be an intensive task and could be slower than for presets but it would be still better than actually having to click/summon the History Step or Snapshot to view them full screen.    

I love the Color Grading tool - which is a global edit - to highlights, midtones, shadows, and global.  I often use this tool to get my whole image the right color feel.  It would be really useful if there were also an additional color grading tool for masked areas, such as when I wish to adjust masked skin tones.  The global Color Grading tool (and global Calibration tool) provides much better color control, for my uses, than the color options available in Masking ("color temp, tint, hue").  

I use the Develop Panels in Solo mode to avoid scrolling. The problem I run into is when I'm in my rapid workflow, I click to expand the 'Basic' panel but often end up choosing one of the tools that lives directly above it. I'd like to see a little separation between expanding the Basic panel and the tools that live between it and the histogram panel. The histogram panel gets a little separator between it and the tools, but the same courtesy isn't given to the Basic panel directly below. I know I could be more careful with my cursor, but it feels like there shouldn't be so much crammed in there anyway.    Thanks

Hi All,   I have a request to have the option of having the before view in the Enhance menu to show the image with the default / basic and/or the applied noise reduction setting you have made before. This way you can compare the image noise reduction with ENR versus the noise reduction in ACR / Develop panel.   Right now the enhanced before preview shows the image without any processing / camera raw presets, which no matter how noisy the image is would be a mess anyway. It would be better to actually be able to compare how the image looks in lightroom with the default noise reduction.   If this could be a feature or a setting in preferences that would be great. Thanks!

While Lightroom has ‘Open as Smart Object in Photoshop’ and ‘Open as Layers in Photoshop’, there is no ‘Open as Smart Object Layers in Photoshop’ I do quite a bit of compositing work in PS, and use LR for asset management and preparation. I prefer to insert them into PS as smart objects while I assemble the composites, so I can make final raw file adjustments once placed in situ. However, the only current option to export to PS as smart objects puts them all in separate PS documents, which can be tedious to combine when there are a large volumes of images to be inserted in a single composite. I’m not sure if this is an easy fix, or if other people have similar desires, but I would greatly appreciate if you would considering adding ‘Open as Smart Object Layers in Photoshop’ to a future LR CC update.

hi,  I would like to be able to add the new noise reduction AI feature to preset during importation. I know it will take a lot of time with a lot of photos. but at least I can do somethink else during the process versus do 3000 pictures one by one. or select them after import ...  it's just me that need that ? 

Yeah, I took the title straight from the "How To Write a Feature Request" post.  Sometime in the past stylus pressure was supported when using the brush tool.  I forget the exact details, but think it might have varied the opacity of the applied brush.  In the current version of Lightroom Classic the pressure feature of my Wacom stylus is ignored in Lightroom Classic.   I've two use cases for pressure sensitivity when using the brush maskiung tool: 1) Sometimes I'd like to be able to adjust brush size; but mostly 2) I'd like to be able to adjust brush flow. I suspect some might want to adjust feathering, too.   Please Adobe, add back support for stylus pressure in Lightroom Classic.

After a conversation with support I would like to sugest an 'Auto Optomise Catalogue' option. proberbly on a schedule weekly/monthly etc with on opening or on closing for example.

On light subjects, the white alignment lines are difficult to see and use. I'd like the ability to change the color of the lines to make it easier to see the lines when using the Guided Transform tool in LrC.
