Any news, ideas thoughts of the next iteration of Lightroom?

Correct answer Lee Jay

When i HAVEN'T adjusted a particular slider at all, it's default value is displayed (normally a zero). In the Lightroom options I would like to be able to toggle the display of these default values on and off, i.e display nothing there instead of the default value.

I like to check all my sliders for each picture after i have finished editing them, and find all those zeros a big distraction. Far better to have nothing displayed there if i haven't touched that slider.

An option to turn this on and off in the Lightroom options would be great (for me at least).

I'd be interested if anybody else agreed?

I disagree.  The numbers should show the current setting, whatever that might be, even if the default is there and the default is still set at zero.

Was thinking more on the lines of

  • will it be more efficient
  • will there be less issues with bottlenecking, hyperthreading, waiting waiting
  • will it work better
  • will it be more streamlined
  • will the keywording be better
  • will the book option be tied into a company that does not exist in many countries in the world making shipping very expensive

I can see some value in your idea Pbeck1. - I often will enter a tiny value near zero just to mean "zero as adjusted / intentional", as opposed to "not yet considered".

Cheers,

Rob


I personally don't see the value in it as it presumes every slider should be adjusted and there are other ways of tagging where an image is in a workflow.  That said, I'm all in favor of configurable user preferences as everyone's workflow is different.  So long as it doesn't interfere with LR's operational performance which is 100% of my v5 wishlist.  Pure performance enhancement in every aspect of use.

Interesting idea, though.

Standard response - "those who know can't say, and those who do say don't know".

But feel free to chat about what you'd like to see!
