Adobe Max wishlist
With Adobe Max coming up, what are some things you would like to see come to Lightroom this year? I'm primarily a Cloud version user, so mine focus on that. I doubt I get all these, but it was just kind of fun to come up with some ideas.
I'd like to see:
Geotagging in the cloud versions. With a map view.
Real right click support on iPad. Lightroom for iPad was one of the first really good iPad creative apps I remember. Its kinda fallen behind on adapting new features.
Smart albums or at least saved searches on cloud versions.
HDR display support (editing and viewing). An iPhone photo shows much more dynamic range in the iOS photos app than when imported into Lightroom.
Real Live Photo support. I maintain an Apple Photos library just so I don’t lose those memories
Better depth data capabilities.
- "Not in any Album" search on mobile.
- Ability to expand out versions of photo. Think like an expander arrow in the corner of photos with named versions or something like that.
- Widgets for mobile version that take from your own photos. Not the Discover and tutorial sections.
- All adjustments available on a mask.
- More AI based mask creation.
- AI based item removal from photos. Pixelmator Photo does a good job with this.
- Could do lots of cool AI based tools honestly.
- "Choose Best Photos" on desktop. Run automatically in the Cloud or in the background so I don't have to manually generate them.
- Might be controversial, but keep building Discover out. Could see it becoming a good Instagram alternative now that Instagram is all Reels. Maybe make it free, with possibly even a seperate app.
- Camera lockscreen widget and ability to create a Shortcut that opens the camera so we can use a 1x1 icon to quick launch. Not a 4x4 widget.
- Full feature parity with mobile and desktop (enhance, HDR merge, Pano merge)
- Very long shot: Sync an edited version back to the same photo in iOS photos app. No idea how that would work, but I'd like it. The more seamless Lightroom works with native Photo apps the more people I think will be willing to use it.
