Lightroom Classic

I have started using tethering in Lightroom Classic rather than using a competitor like Capture One as I am very much embedded with the Adobe ecosystem. However, I am finding LRC clunky, unreliable and by no means a good alternative to Capture One, who seem to making big inroads into Adobe’s market. For example trying to tag an certain point on an image to check the RGB levels as you adjust strobe power is not possible and you have to guess where you previously checked the RGB levels. The question is, does Adobe have any plans to “take the action to the enemy” and put some serious development into Lightroom Classic’s tethering capabilities or are they going to continue to allow Capture One to take market share? 

I'd like to enable Masking in combination with Remove (Generative AI). Masking features save a lot of time. Unfortunately, I was unable to use the masking (people, objects) while switching to Remove. Masking results are gone when switching to other tools. Remove is a powerful tool that might take a few tries to reach the result. Their combination could multiply the value added by both.  Example use casesCorporate sector.I have been asked to edit the photo by keeping the executives and removing the other staff for a publication.I have been asked to remove a colleague who has moved to a different section from the team photo.Individual customer.My friend asked me to remove her former boyfriend from the group photo.

OK, I have 1000 headshots, shot al all different focal lengths. I edit it down to 100.   I crop one to the client's standards and would love to be able to auto-crop the others to a similar crop. Yes, this will require VERY SIMPLE AI. 

I think all portrait photographers would like to have any AI portrait retouch system on Lightroom classic and photoshop, like FACEAPP. We really need something like that. And I know that Adobe can do better than faceapp

Please add a way to zoom in on the live preview image while in tethered shooting mode in order to really dial in focus. Both Capture One and the Canon Software (back when it used to work -- it stopped connecting to my camera a couple of years ago) have a way to double click the live view of a shot to get an extreme zoom of the shot, so you could really ensure your product is in focus. I would REALLY love Lightroom Classic to have this feature. The current auto-focus is not good enough when shooting products where you want a specific thing to be in focus while using manual focus. Since I am using flash and not continuous lighting, the preview can be a bit dark and tends to look blurry/out of focus even when full screen and even when it is in focus.PLEASE I am BEGGING you to add the ability to zoom in on the live preview!

Hi Adobe, I am not shure, if it is possible to add such a possibility of an adjustment to Lightroom Classic. My idea is to have the possibility to add an adjustment brush to the skin of a model on the photograph. Afterwards a KI scans the skin for acne (mainly red colored), pimpels (mainly red colored) and varicose veins (mainly green or blue colored), and repair these areas with skin tones of the close environment of the model. Moles shall not be removed (or can optional be removed, if a user likes sterile skin).   Warm regards, Markus

lightroom cloud has many presets not available in Lightroom Classic. share the wealth!

It would be great if the curves panel in Lightroom was physically bigger. The current panel is too small. While it's easy to make big adjustments, fine tuning is difficult and imprecise. I've attached two screenshots showing the curves panel for Lightroom (LR 4 beta) and Aperture (3.2.2) for the same image. In Lightroom, I've selected a medium contrast curve; in Aperture, I've used the "auto" curve option. Physically, the Lightroom curve panel itself measures 160 pixels per side. The Aperture one is 260 pixels per side, 60% bigger linearly, and three times the area! (67,500 pixels versus 25,600.)Aperture's bigger curves panel gives three big advantages:-- it's easier to see the changes, particularly in relation to the linear slope;-- it's easier to make changes, particularly precise ones; and-- it's easier to either select a current point or make a new one without accidentally doing the opposite.I'd also say a bigger panel encourages you to use it: just grab a point and yank it, withou

Offer color options for the crop and grid frame.  The default frame is difficult to see on light colored images.  Even a limited choice of simply white, black or red would be a vast improvement.

ConceptWhen editing, it’s easy to unintentionally push sliders into ranges that degrade image quality (e.g., overuse of clarity, dehaze, or contrast). I propose a user-configurable system where each slider includes two thresholds (warning and limit zones). As sliders approach these zones, visual feedback (color change) and optional resistance could guide users toward more natural results without removing creative control.Helps beginners avoid over-editing Reinforces good editing habits Improves consistency Still allows full manual override User presets for thresholds Toggle on/off Works with masks and global sliders

The Object select is a great addition to the masking tool. However, it is very frustrating not to be able to select multiple objects in order to apply the same fixes using the masking tool. I have a tricky photo in which I have had to tediously select each object, at least 20 of them, individually. It would be helpful to be able to Cmd-select for multiple objects.

Sometimes sveral masks in a photo need the same edit. It will be effective if I can edit more than one mask in the same photo in a Autosync or Sync workflow.

When I import photos from my Nikon D-750 and Z8, I choose the "Make a second copy to..." option to a directory on my Windows Home Server, where they are backed up into the cloud by a backup service and are also monitored by Amazon Photos for backups. I have hundreds of backup folders and they all have names like this: These names are utterly useless for finding an import backup that contains a specific date and the date created/modified is not helpful. Please allow me to specify a name for the folder, using a pattern. I'd prefer a name like YYYY-MM-DD Lightroom Import so I can find the folder containing photos taken on a specific day. I'm using Lightroom Classic 13.0.1 on Windows 11, with the backups over SMB to a Windows Server 2016 Essentials host.  

I would love to have a white Lightroom interface, just like Photoshop has.Please adobe, consider making it !!!

I am requesting a dedicated metadata field in Lightroom Classic that allows photographers to track the copyright registration status of each image. As more photographers register their work with the U.S. Copyright Office—especially using quarterly unpublished group registrations—there is currently no built‑in way to mark which images have been submitted, which batch they belong to, or whether they are safe to publish.Lightroom Classic is the central catalog and workflow hub for many working photographers. It already manages flags, ratings, keywords, EXIF/IPTC metadata, and custom workflow states, but it does not provide any field related to copyright registration. As a result, photographers are forced to use workarounds such as keywords, color labels, or collection names to track registration status. These methods are inconsistent, easy to break, and not scalable for large catalogs.A dedicated metadata field (or small group of fields) would solve this cleanly. Examples of useful fields

I use a couple of smart collections for every wedding client. One contains only flagged photos that are also virtual copies, these are using for sneaky peeks for the couple, social media, etc.The other is flagged photos that aren’t virtual copies, these are the final selections from culling that will be exported for delivery.Being able to use the same smart collection that simple looks at the currently active folder, rather than have hundreds of duplicates, would be ideal and no doubt far more efficient than each smart collection needing to constantly check for changes.I’m sure there are many other reasons why other users would also find this useful.

It would be nice & very helpful if there would be an indicator, that there exists a synched collection under a stacked and collapsed collection. Here is an example for what I mean.  

For those unfamiliar, Median Stacking it is a process where you stack multiple images of the same scene, then a Median filter averages them out to retain only details that exist on all images.   It's commonly used to to eliminate high ISO noise in nightime photography or astrophotography while retaining stars and other details. ISO noise is random and easily filtered out with this method. It's a much better approach to standard noise reduction which adversly affects the whole image.   It's also used to remove crowds of people from a scene – you do a timelapse of the scene and then Median Stack the images remove anything that doesn't exist on multiple photos. Very nice.   It currently has to be done in Photoshop, which is a one way trip (there's a nice overview of how it's done here with some nice examples https://iwillbeyourphotoguide.com/reduce-noise-median-averaging-photos )   Instead, it should be an option inside of Lightroom Classic. A

I marked many photos to create previews and changed star rating of thousands of photos without noticing right away. Using the “edit/ go back one step” functionality wasnt too helpfull, because it didnt gave me enough info about the steps. A history menue like the one in the editing menue would be helpfull to go back a few steps when working in the library module. 

Quanto tempo si perde, dopo aver esportato le foto, nel raccoglierle e organizzarle in cartelle, suddividendole e raggruppandole per non disperderle in folder contenenti centinaia di file? Il modulo di esportazione di LrC permette di esportare contemporaneamente immagini da molte sorgenti. Usando le esportazioni batch anche in molti formati diversi, ma sempre e solo verso un unica destinazione. Non sarebbe utile poter applicare una logica di esportazione flessibile e articolata come quella d’importazione?Uso LrC dal 2007 e gestisco collezioni di centinaia di migliaia d’immagini, organizzate in cartelle e sottocartelle con molti livelli di profondità. Conservo i file originali (convertiti in DNG) e spesso li riprendo per rielaborarli per utilizzi e pubblicazioni sempre diverse. Per valorizzare l’ordine con cui sono suddivisi i file ho sempre trovato utilissimo un semplice plugin donationware sviluppato da Timothy Armes chiamato LR/TreeExporter.Con questo strumento posso esportare interi

The current AI Denoise implementation uses a static default value (50) and requires manual activation per image or batch. This is inefficient for professional workflows: Unnecessary Processing: Currently, Lightroom doesn't distinguish between a clean photo and a noisy one when syncing settings. It applies Denoise even if the image doesn't need it, wasting time and storage. One Size Doesn't Fit All: Every photographer has a different "noise tolerance." Some prefer a clinical, smooth look, while others want to preserve some natural grain for aesthetic reasons. I propose a smart and adaptive AI Denoise system with the following capabilities: Noise Detection: The AI should first analyze the image to determine if Denoise is even necessary. If the image is clean, it should skip the process or apply a 0% value. Intelligent Auto-Intensity: Instead of a fixed number, it should calculate the minimum intensity required to clean the specific grain of that file without washing out textures. U

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.
