Lightroom v9.5 Is Live! Extend Photos with Generative Expand, Refine Masks with Precision, and Edit More Smoothly The August 2026 update to Adobe Lightroom (version 9.5) introduces AI-powered photo expansion, more precise masking controls, and performance enhancements to help photographers and creators work more efficiently and stay in flow. What’s New:Lightroom (version 9.5) brings more control and flexibility to everyday creative workflows with the introduction of Generative Expand, one of the release's most significant additions. This new Firefly-powered feature lets you extend photos beyond their original borders and intelligently generate content that blends naturally with the existing image, making it easier to recover poorly framed shots, create new aspect ratios for social media and marketing formats, reconstruct missing edges, or fill transparent gaps left behind after perspective corrections. Photographers can choose between Firefly Fill & Expand, which generates multiple

Adobe is excited to receive requests for additional features you need to enhance your workflow. What can you do to increase the chances of being heard? Don't use the words "Feature Request" in your post's title. Search for and add to existing feature requests rather than creating duplicates. There is no advantage to creating a second request for any existing feature request. One request per thread! When creating an Idea or Feature Request thread, please keep requests for features to ONE request per thread. Doing this will allow others to vote on a single, specific feature and not confuse Upvotes amongst a list of feature requests. If an Idea thread has multiple requests in it, a moderator may ask you to split the multiple requests up into multiple threads so others can vote. In the event there remain multiple requests on a thread, the first item requested will be the arbiter of where the thread will be cross-referenced or merged. Describe how the feature will help your workflow. Des
After the update, during a cropping process there will be a red vertical and horisontal line forcing the image to be centered. We dont want to be forced to crop in the center, we want to crop the image freely like before. Thanks
On the desktop version of Lightroom you can select objects like the front windshield of a car which makes it so much easier to edit like darkening or dehazing, i would like to have this feature on my iPad so I can edit while I travel
How do I disable the automatic centering that now occurs when cropping in lightroom mobile with the latest update? The app automatically centers the crop on what it believes to be the subject, and I don't want to keep fighting the app to edit my photos the way that I want to edit them.

After the Lightroom 11.5 update on Android 16 (Samsung S24 Ultra, OneUI 8.5), we can not any longer make minor adjustments when cropping and moving an image, as it jumps back and forth due to the guidelines "guiding" the photo. Before the guidelines were introduced yesterday, everything worked flawlessly. We really need to be able to make minor adjustments without these restrictions, just like we used to!Thank you.
Hi! The RAW files I've shot with my new Canon R5 Mark II don't open on the cloud-based Lightroom (my favorite lightroom app). I've already installed the newest MacOS Sequoia (15.3.1) and restarted my macbook and lightroom app. When I try to open a file I see the image attached under this message. I really hope somebody can help me. Thanks in advance!
I have just migrated my desktop lightroom classic catalogue to lightroom cloud and think I've made a big mistake. I've lost the album and referencing system for the photos remaining on the desktop. Is there a fix for this please? I have managed with collections and folders on the desktop with Lightroom Classic for over 10 years, and never had significant issues apart from speed with large catalogues. I have now take the plunge and gone to lightroom on the cloud thinking that everything would be synced across all devices, but now see that only the folder view remains on the desktop, and this does not replicate the cloud view of albums (previously collections) . It is also taking an inordinate amount of time doing the first sync . I have a fairly high spec desktop but it is going at a snails pace. Is there a work round for replicating the album structure from cloud to device without having to re- download everything that has been uploaded? Any ideas please? Or is there a good manual avai

Bring back the catagories for suggested presets.. why was it removed it was so useful for finding the vibe while editing?
Hello, I have a question about a Lightroom subscription refund.My Lightroom subscription was automatically renewed because I forgot to cancel it before the next billing period. The payment was charged two days ago, and I cancelled the subscription on the same day after noticing the charge.I understand that refunds are usually only available within 14 days of the initial purchase, but I wanted to ask if there is any possibility of getting a refund for this renewal payment as a one-time exception.Has anyone had a similar situation, or does anyone know if Adobe support can help with this kind of request?Thank you for your help.
I have some presets that I'd like to load into Lightroom mobile, but it seems impossible for me to do that, is there a specific feature in the app that I have to use?
from version 9.5 just downloaded today (Aug 7, 2026), cannot set the exposure or any value to format "x,y", just can set "1, 2, 3, 4, or 5"
Recommended preset options (headlines/sections for Subtle, Bright, Dark, Cinematic, HDR, etc) are no longer visible on the app. They went missing after the app was updated yesterday (most recent update)
LR Mobile 11.4.20 - iPhone 17PM - iOs 26.5.2 Just completed the latest LR Mobile update and went to work. Immediately I noticed that I cannot make any fine cropping adjustments. Image in crop mode jumps to +/-50 and straight back to zero. Nothing in-between, unfortunately.
One of the main reason I and many others stick with Adobe, is that with Portfolio it offers a built-in portfolio website builder. Since I have created my website four years ago, no updates have been made to the system and it’s starting to feel out of date. Adobe really needs to keep this feature up to date if it wants to keep users from ditching Adobe for a cheaper alternative and different portfolio website provider. Edit: I have no idea why this post has been moved to the Lightroom board, but the fact that there is no dedicated Portfolio board underlines my point.
I can’t get this open on my desktop
I bought Lightroom monthly subscription on my AppStore. At AppStore it is written as “active” but in reality my Lightroom app says that I don’t have any subscription plans purchased. I don’t understand the issue. What should I do as a next step
After the latest update last night, lightroom ipad freezes when pasting copied settings to a number of photos. When exporting hundreds of photos the screen freezes- ipad mini 7th gen a17 pro
Ich kann Bild automatisch bearbeiten, in dem ich auf den „Zauberstab“ klicke und dann im Untermenü auf „Auto“. Gibt Möglichkeit mehrere Bilder auszuwählen, diese alle automatisch bearbeiten zu lassen?
After using Remove tool for AI removal once or twice it freezes lightroom so I can't click anything and has a select remove to get started blue box. Nothing works. Have to restart again and again. I open up lightroom, remove one item or maybe a few at times, then it freezes and I’m unable to click anything and unable to get back to the remove tool. It just shows the select remove to get started box. I have a project to get to a client tonight so this is very frustrating that I have to re-open lightroom again and again. I updated to the latest version and it still gives me this issue. Also the yellow AI updating is not working at all.
I was a member of the Lightroom Beta channel/forums back in my Community Professional days. I would like to get removed from tat forum as I keep getting e-mails when there is a new update.
