Insert the possibility for collaborators to be able to use the V (selected) and X (reject) flags in the shared photos and also the star rating. Additionally, contributors can't use tags in shared albums.
It is very important that these possibilities are active because it helps to work the photographs faster between the various teams to which the photo albums have been shared.

We are sharing images from shoots with remote teams in Lightroom, although they can comment and like, it would be great to have the ability to have those with access to the albums to be able to star rate them.

 

Thanks,

Simon

I have shared some albums in Lightroom, and invitees can like or comment, but I don't see a way for them to star rate the images. It would be really helpful when selecting images remotely.

 

Am I missing something?

No, that's currently not possible.

 

I would imagine there's an existing feature request for this functionality, it would be worth adding your vote to it.

When my colleague and I are working together in a shared album, it would be great if both of us would be able to pick / flag images, not just the one who created the shared album. This would improve our workflow so much. 

We can do every thing else in the shared album, why not this?

When sharing an album with collaborative editing turned on I'm missing the ability for the invitee to change the flag and rating on the image. I think that's an essential part of being able to edit, is this functionality missing or deliberately left out? Collaboratively deciding which images should be part of an album would be great and the reason for me to setup a second individual account for my partner.

I moved your feedback from Bugs to Ideas, as the current functionality is working as intended: only the owner can apply flags and ratings, while other members in a shared album can only Like and Comment.

 

To have a partner help apply flags and ratings would be a next level of collaborative permissions for the team to consider adding.  Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Hello, 

 

I have shared some images from Lightroom Classic to thecloud using the collections and sync feature. 

I then opened and shared an album with someone as an editor and contributor. 

 

That person can not rate or flag photos, but they can edit and everything else.

 

Can someone explain this?? It would be very helpful if that person could have access to the rate and flag function.

 

Is this because the files were originally synced to the cloud using the Classic program, and not the new app?

 

Thank you in advance.

No, it's simply that the functionality to allow editors/contributors of shared albums to rate/flag/keyword the images has not yet been made available. To date, only the album owner can do that. Adobe are aware of the request, but only they know if they intend to do anything about it.

What a terrible implementation. I'm the editor, but I need my team members to be able to select their favorites images.
