Question

P: (Mobile) Presets panel, under Recommended, I do not see the preset categories (Warm, Dark, Bright, Cinematic, HDR, etc.)

In the Presets panel, under Recommended, I do not see the preset categories (Warm, Dark, Bright, Cinematic, HDR, etc.) that appear in Adobe's documentation and other users' screenshots. The app is fully updated, I've already compared it with Lightroom on my phone, and the feature is missing only on my iPad. I'd like to know if this is a bug, a staged rollout, or an account-specific issue.

    @Rikk Flohr_Photography — following up once more as this thread has now grown to 86 replies and over 1,100 views and continues to receive activity daily.

    I know this decision wasn't yours personally, and I appreciate you engaging with the thread earlier. At this point, though, I think many of us would really appreciate an update from Adobe on whether the Lightroom product team has seen this feedback and whether restoring the Recommended Preset categories is being considered.

    This clearly hasn't been an isolated reaction to a UI change. A number of paying customers have explained why this specific workflow was so valuable and why the current Recommended feed isn't an viable replacement.

    Even if there isn't a decision yet, simply knowing that the product team has received and is considering the feedback would be appreciated. For me, this feature remains the deciding factor in whether I continue paying for Lightroom.

    Thanks

    I really hope they fix this problem , it has become a problem getting editing done faster . I might be canceling my subscription.

    I’ve had subscription for the last five years with Adobe Lightroom 

    The fact that they removed the presets completely heartbreaking, I’ll give it a month

    After that if it’s not back, Everything’s going on a solid state Drive and I’m canceling my membership

    When doing the presets, the slider bar for warm, cool, etc. is completely gone and missing

    Please bring this feature back. After reading other comments I see others are just as hurt and affected by this change. I’d even be willing to pay more. Why take the sole reason people used presets completely away.

    There's no way we should have to pay more to get back a feature that we were already paying for, that was taken away. 

    I hope developers are reading this thread. It's crazy that they'd just remove the presets like this.

    One of the reasons I renewed again this year was because I use a lot of these presets on the go when I need a quick edit. The fact that this has happened is a massive problem. I've paid the same subscription but lost some of the product. How is this fair?

    Will be making a complaint. Very disappointing.

    I thought I was going crazy. Are they bringing this back? This has severely hurt my business as I use my phone to edit way more than my computer due to the amount of travel I have to do. What other apps are there? This mobile version is not cutting it and I no longer want to pay for this anymore. Are there any plans to fix this issue or is this the standard moving forward?

    I am so cut they decided to remove this feature! It was 99% of the reason why I use Lightroom, the variety, categories and limitless options were fantastic, so I just cannot comprehend WHY they would decide to do this??? I will definitely not be renewing my subscription since the options now are just crap and practically the stuff you’d find better on Instagram :/

    Are there any new other apps? Not from Adobe.
