Lightroom Classic

There are already features that create new images in LR, so why not add collage, and perhaps compositing. There are a whole bunch of ways in which such a UI could work, but ... here's something fairly easy to visualize in the case of collage. User has a panel from which to select collage layouts. Let's say for now they're all rectangular.User selects a layout, along with color/gradient/photo to use as background, etc., then selects photos to drop into it.With photos in the layout, drag to swap them, click and hit delete to remove, etcResize with scroll wheel, also the usual "fit/fill" etcMove borders by grabbing the border and draggingWiden/narrow borders by grabbing border edge and draggingDraw new slots with right click-drag rectangle, or whateverOverlapping slots should be fineDelete slots in one of the obvious ways, right-click context menu, click-select delete key, whateverBorder changes have optional snapping to make it easy to keep things aligned Ideally the colla

Lightroom clasic has great new features with AI masking, however I am still missing animal detection. I believe this would be very helphul for equine, dog, wildlife photography and even for basic home users.    Current solution is use of AI feature subject detection, however it often fails as it does not predict well shape of an animal, this results as manual corrections needed on every mask when batch editing is used.

Exporting HDR images from Lightroom with HDR gain maps appears to embed a three channel gain map of equal size to the image. As someone who works with high resolution (60MP) images, the increase in file size from this is not manageable as it can nearly double the size of images that can themselves be 40MB+.   ISO 21496-1 accommodates for this by allowing the gain map to be smaller than the actual image by an integer scale factor, and allowing for a single channel version that is effectively a luminance map.    As an example, Apple uses a 1/4 size (scaled down by factor of 2 on each axis) single channel gain map for photos taken on iPhone. This minimizes the increase in file size. Putting aside image compression, you have 1/4 the number of pixels, and 1/3 the bits per pixel, so the parameters Apple uses may take up something like 1/12 the size of a 1:1 size three channel gain map.   In a use case like mine, a scale factor of 2 would still be a 15MP gain map whic

It would be very useful if the smart collections could work recursively. What I mean is that the filters on the upper lever would work on all collections under that collection and the lower level collections could have additional filterse.g.| Landscape| |- 5 stars| |- marked redPortraits| |-John| | |-5 stars| | |-B&W| |-Mary|-5 stars|-B&Wand so forth. This would make lot of organizing much more straight forward.

Would love it if my Lr Mobile and Browser would mimic the organization that I’ve set up in my LrC collections. Moving images and albums around in Mobile and Browser is cumbersome, practically impossible, frankly. I only use Mobile and Browser to share albums, or to show images from my phone when away from my computer. I find they are difficult to find in Browser or Mobile once synced, and manually organizing them in browser or mobile is way too many steps. 

Je travaille avec des copies virtuelles de mes Raws pour avoir diverse versions d’une même image, par exemple un cadrage en portrait, un autre en paysage, une version en noir et blanc, une autre recolorée etc, Ce ci sur plusieurs images d’une même collection, pour en conserver les divers développements dans les .xmp associés à l’image originale et les retrouver si je souhaite ouvrir une des version directement en ouvrant le Raw dans CameraRaw, sans passer par LrC, il faut que les divers développements soit enregistré dans ce .xmp pour que je puisse sélectionner la version désirée. Actuellement, je dois créer l’instantané photo apr phot, je ne peux pas en sélectionner plusires dans le film fixe, je souhaiterai que ce soit possible comme ça l’est pour d’autres paramètres ou EXIFs 

Can you please add the ability to allow “Shot Name” as a token in the filename presets within the Tether Capture Settings?It’s possible to change the Shot Name as you shoot, which is great especially when doing headshots or products - but there is no method of including that in the filename during tethering.It should be easy to implement - if it can create a folder from the shot name, there shouldn’t be any difficulty in allowing it in a filename either.Thanks.

I would like to request that we add to the export options. Currently I have been using "Export to: Same folder as original photo" and then moving the sub-folder it creates in Library View, but it would be great to just have the following option:   "Export to: Parent folder of original photo"   Here's my use-case... My photography drive structure looks like this:   Working Drive Pictures Clients YYYY-MM-DD-ShootName RAW Edited-JPEGs High-Resolution Low-Resolution Rejects   When I am editing a shoot, I begin with the RAW files. After culling, I move over all 0-star images to Rejects folder. Next, I perform all basic edits in Lightroom and I then export full-resolution full-quality JPEGs to a folder named Edited-JPEGs which currently goes under the RAW folder, then I manually move it to the parent folder in Library view. Then I do any retouching to the Edited-JPEGs in Photoshop. Once I've completed any retouching I then go back into Lightroom and export H

Lorsque l’on veut supprimer un élément dans une photo par la suppression générative par exemple, plusieurs variantes sont proposées. Il est difficile de choisir celle-ci dès lors qu’il y a un contour blanc épais autour de la zone à supprimer.

Is it possible to show the folders (like in the ‘Library’) when you’re in the “develop-mode? So you can navigate directly between the folders, in stead of going to the Library first?

Currently, LrC detects “Modified” edits and displays the Eyeball icon on the relevant panels, marking them as “Active”.We should have APIs that provide the same.The API could be: •For settingsphoto:getDevelopSettingsModified() so a variation of getDevelopSettings() and LrDevelopController.getValuesModified() a variation of getValue()These APIs would return a table of edits. •For Panels I think  we could have something like LrDevelopController.getPanelsState() that would return a table of panels and their state, one of “deactivated”, “modified” (the eyeball) or “default”.I post here to see if other plug-in authors would be interested in these API ​@johnrellis ​@drtonyb What do you say?EDITTitle should have been:SDK / Implement APIs to get the "Modified" settings and the "Active/Modified" panels.I can’t edit it, sorry.

Hello Adobe team,I would like to request an improvement for Lightroom on Mac.When Lightroom starts, the scroll position in the photo grid is always at the top. In my workflow, I sort photos so that the newest photos are shown at the bottom. Because of this, every time I launch Lightroom, I have to manually scroll all the way down again.Please add an option to remember the last scroll position, or allow Lightroom to open at the bottom of the grid when sorting order places the newest photos there.This would make reviewing newly imported photos much faster and more convenient.Thank you.

I find myself keeping the info overlay on while editing to be able to see the lens and exposure settings I used, however I would rather not have it on all the time when I can just glance over at the histogram panel to see that info, yet usually when I do it’s showing me the RGB values of whatever pixel my cursor is hovering over. This is not really useful to me (at least not in Lightroom) and I would rather turn this off so the exposure and lens values are always present. This typically comes up when I click on the image to view at 100% to see if I have any motion blur and then glance over to see if what my shutter speed was… only to find the RGB value instead. 

I have a large catalog and my workflow is this:Import photos onto my local computer. Store pictures in the Pictures folder in a subfolder with year/year-month-day folder structure. Edit my photos Move my photos to my NAS storage by dragging the folder in Lightroom to the storge drive. I have photos on the NAS going back many years. Dragging in Lightroom is a complicated process:Expand the NAS drive letter Expand the year target folder Roll up any other year folders because the list is extremely long Grab the folder and drag it down. The target folder is off the screen. Drag close to the bottom and get the list to start scrolling. Scroll scroll scroll until I get to the target year, and then release.  In the middle of scrolling if I pause for even a moment, it will expand a year folder that is NOT the intended location. So I then have to scroll through all the photos in that year to move to the bottom of the list and get to the next year.All this maneuvering is done while holding the mo

I’d like to request a master catalog feature in Lightroom Classic that lets users browse thumbnails from multiple catalogs in one unified view without fully merging them.Why this mattersMany photographers organize work into separate catalogs for practical reasons such as client jobs, years, shoots, or business divisions. That structure is useful for performance and organization, but it creates a major drawback: there is no fast, visual way to search or compare images across catalogs. Right now, if I want to find a photo, locate similar shots, or review older work, I have to open catalogs one at a time, which is slow and inefficient.What I’m asking forA master catalog or global browser that can: Display thumbnails from multiple catalogs in one place. Search across catalogs by filename, keyword, rating, date, and other metadata. Let users filter by catalog, project, client, or folder source. Open the source catalog when a photo is selected for editing. Optionally sync or referenc

Request: Allow Queueing/Batching for Generative Remove to Prevent Workflow InterruptionThe Problem: Currently, using the Generative Remove tool requires a strict "one-by-one" workflow. After painting a mask, navigating away to another image before clicking "Generate" discards the mask. This means I am forced to click Generate and sit waiting for the AI to process before I can move on to the next image.Because the generation process takes time, my entire editing momentum is derailed. The majority of my editing time is now spent waiting on progress bars rather than actually editing.The Solution / Proposed Feature: I would like to request the ability to paint Generative Remove masks on an image and navigate away without losing them, allowing Lightroom to cache or "hold" the pending mask.This change would unlock two massive workflow improvements: Asynchronous Editing: I could paint a mask, move immediately to the next photo to keep editing, and let the background generation happen without

Brushing over an object to be removed is not always accurate.  The Rectangle Select for objects in masking works really well.  Would it be possible to add this means of selection to the Remove Tool?  Thanks

Hi, It's a simple request and an enigma, why it hasn't been done yet. When Syncing a settings of a photo, which has been automatically straightened, just recompute the angle for every synced picture. Make it selectable / deselectable in the sync menu.   Greeting Eckhard

Please add an option to disable the on-screen Undo/Redo notifications that appear when using Undo (Cmd/Ctrl+Z) and Redo (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+Z) in Lightroom Classic.This has been requested by many Lightroom users for years across Adobe forums and community discussions, yet there is still no way to disable these notifications.For many advanced users, Undo and Redo are not only used to correct mistakes but also as a very fast visual A/B comparison tool between two editing states. This allows us to evaluate subtle changes while keeping our eyes focused entirely on the image.Currently, every Undo or Redo action displays a large black notification overlay showing the name of the adjustment that was reverted or restored. This overlay partially covers the image and makes it difficult to accurately judge contrast, color, local adjustments, noise reduction, sharpening, masking, and other fine details.The issue becomes even more noticeable when working in Full Screen mode or with Lights Out enabled,

In the latest versuion, the cenral window indicating estimated time is gone, this is an important feature for busy profesionnal photographers, who need proper centralized task manager, now, the only indication left is that vague user unfriendly bar at the top. This doesn’t work, the estimated time allow us to plan work but also free time, if the estimated time is 30 min, we can go cook, take a shower, run to the post office whatsoever we need to do in between.. Thanks

Please Adobe - make such an option. To just completely disable this absolutely useless for most feature. I want LRC to never show these white areas, at all. I am an architectute photograph, i sometimes have a thousand pics a day to run through LRC and a lot of them Auto align with white parts all over. I know a can make a preset for this to be on, but so much simpler just to disable this. Thanks!

I find the sky selection mask one I use frequently but it fails to select accurately around complex areas such as foliage, especially where the sky is not one continuous body i.e. separate sections may appear through gaps.  There are complex work-rounds such as selecting everything but the sky and inverting but this seems a waste of time.   I am aware of the updates to ACR including Mask feathering and Edge Control which are a welcome help but these wont help in cases where the sky is divided.  Can the underlying AI model  be updated to improve the basic sky selection please.  Thanks

This would be very useful for underwater photographers who use Lightroom Classic as their main RAW workflow and want to remove backscatter without having to export every image to Photoshop. Backscatter removal is especially important in underwater macro and wide-angle photography, where particles in the water often appear as bright spots across many images from the same dive. Ideally, the tool should work non-destructively inside Lightroom Classic, preferably as a Develop module tool, masking-based tool, or plugin-compatible workflow. It would make the editing process much faster for photographers who need to clean up large batches of underwater images while keeping the full Lightroom Classic catalog, RAW, rating, and batch-editing workflow. A Lightroom Classic-compatible backscatter removal tool would be a major benefit for underwater photographers and would reduce the need to round-trip many images through Photoshop only for this specific correction.

Preset Masking: Apply Presets Non-Destructively to Specific ParametersThe ProblemLightroom presets currently apply to the entire image and overwrite all settings — making it impossible to combine multiple presets selectively. This creates real friction in certain workflows.A concrete example from my own practice: when I want to apply my black-and-white preset to a color-graded image, I have to export a JPEG first, re-import it, and then apply the B&W preset — otherwise it wipes out all my color work. This roundabout workaround degrades image quality and breaks the non-destructive editing philosophy Lightroom is built on.The IdeaAllow presets to be applied as parameter masks — meaning a preset could be scoped to affect only a defined subset of parameters (e.g., tone curve, HSL, B&W mix) without touching the rest of the edit.How It Would HelpCombine presets freely: apply a color grade from one preset and a grain/vignette look from another, without either overwriting the other. B&

Curves are one of the most powerful and most sensitive tools in any photo editor, but Lightroom's curve editor has limitations that hold back more precise color/tonal work. The curve panel is locked to a small, fixed size with no way to enlarge it, so fine-grained adjustments become a game of how small I can make my mouse movements. Enhance the curve editing experience with:A scalable or detachable curve panel that can be resized or popped out into a floating window for more room to work Snapping and precision controls for control points, including (enchanced) snap-to-grid, axis-lock (constrain movement to horizontal or vertical)A larger curve panel would make subtle adjustments practical rather than imprecise, especially for skin tone corrections, highlight rolloff, and shadow color balance. Snapping and axis-lock would prevent the accidental point drift that currently forces undo/redo cycles.
