I added thousands of photos (other than those in Synced Catalogs) and now I cannot differentiate them other than by the standard filters provided because I have used color labels to identify certain criteria. Color labels are just as important as Flags, Please add them!

Are there any plans to add color labels to Lightroom CC mobile? I use color labels in Lightroom Classic on my desktop system. When I move over to mobile, I can't see any of my color labels. When organizing photos on mobile, I am not able to use my typical workflow because of the lack of color labels. It would be great to be able to view sync color labels and apply labels when using Lightroom CC when I'm on the go!
Yeah but sometimes you need more than one metric to filter and sort by. I'll admit I don't use colour labels all the time but when I need them I REALLY need them and its really saved my bacon a number of times particularly when I'm working as an onsite editor for multiple photographers.
Voted, and agree, we should have color labels in Lightroom CC, I use them for final images. Also personalized watermarking ... why can't we watermark our images with a graphic that is saved in Adobe Creative Cloud. This really limits us to exporting and sharing our images with our regular signatures while working remotely.
Hello, Would it be possible to add the functionality of color labels synchronized with Lightroom Desktop in order to be able to find our color labels even on the mobile version (smartphone and tablets) via a dot or a point for example, unless there is already possible but I have not found how to activate it ...? Thanking you, Regards,

Bonjour,
Serait-il possible d’ajouter la fonctionnalité des libellés de couleurs synchronisés avec Lightroom Desktop afin de pouvoir retrouver nos libellés de couleurs meme sur la version mobile (smartphone et tablettes) via une pastille ou un point par exemple, à moins que ne soit déjà possible mais que je n’ai pas trouvé comment l’activer... ?
Is it possible to have the color labeling feature added to Lr ? i guess you guys left it out because you want to make the app more simplistic? Would be great to have it since at LrC i use that more often then stars since the label is more visible in grid view.
Has there ever been a note from adobe as to why this feature is not present? This has been a request for years now.. Other software I use like PhotoMechanic actually have a preference setting to align Color Ratings with Lightroom's. So what is the why omission?
RICK i took over a thousand water drop photos and labeled the good ones with colors and if i have to go through all of those again i will lose my mind and probably die from dehydration because i will never be able to look at another drop of water again
Please add this feature back to Lightroom. I don't understand why Lightroom classic had to disappear and this is the replacement. It seems all the basic functions are gone and there's nothing new to be excited about.
thanks for the reply and I do still use classic. Not just for the color labels but I make use of the cc mobile app as well and sync the changes between them. That’s a key feature that keeps me using Lightroom. I’ve changed my work flow a bit to accommodate the color label omission. But my question to you all at Adobe is WHY it’s not a feature. I can’t believe it’s a technical issue so I’m assuming it’s a philosophy issue. I’m curious what you all are thinking that makes using color labels such a no-no
@gary_degruccio You will never get this as an official answer, but it's quite obvious Adobe's main goal is to 'gently suggest' to switch towars LR 'Cloudy'.
It's expensive for them to maintain both softwares
Selling cloud is a way more profitable model
Once you're in that model, getting out is more difficult
Ther ML tech (Sensei) turns on their servers, not on your machine
Where is the focus right now? On the "learn" and "discover" section, not on LR
'Cloudy' was (is?) far from ready, so they had to maintain both in //
Ask yourself what the latest updates brought to classic...
On their webpage, there's almost no mention of Classic
The target audiance has also shifted: the pro / enthusiast photographer market is probably way less profitable than the smartphone user using Insta filters (presets, sorry...).
Classic is probably ment to die, sooner or later, in profit of cloudy. I suspect we'll (continue to) see fewer and fewer updates with time, until a day where some modules will stop working (such as maps...) or become incompatible with a future OS or even technologies.
@antoine_hlmn That time may come in the future, but it's a loooooooong way off yet. They're targeted at different audiences, and the Lightroom Classic engineering team is bigger than it's been for a long time. There's more than enough customers from each audience for them to maintain both Lightroom versions.

I hope you're right 😉 But Adobe doesn't comunicate on their roadmap, so I doubt they'll tell us anything about their dev team or even their buisness plan. The only measurable we have, as users, are the updates and the bug fixes. And everyone can judge by in what direction the feel it going 🙂
We want our color labels back please! The idea that Adobe would drop an organizational metadata element like that that it’s users have invested countless hours into is heartless or thoughtless.
Working in IT, I'm reallw supprised that a so simple feature is still not implemented.
I will try to explain how I'm working. In lightroom , after import and after deciding which image I will rework (I use the star rating for it) then I create a virtual copy of this image. The imported one is flagged with a Yellow Label. Then I do my post processing in Lightroom. I flag my image in purple. Maybe I will edit a copy in Denoise and flag it in Purple. Then I edit in Photoshop a new copy. After being back this copy is also flagged in Purple. At the end maybe I will have still some adjustment or not, I will flag my final version with a green label.
And maybe I will crop my image in different format (new virtual copies) depending of the support (Instagram feed, story) and flagged them in blue.
So at the end, I have a clear view of each of my big steps So I can publish easily an image for each step in a tutorial.
If I want to work on my images on Ligthroom CC, I can't because I can't differentiate a similar image to another because I haven't my color labels.
For exemple, I will work on 20 images on Lightroom Classic and then go on a Business trip. I would expect to be able to publish some of them on Instagram, but I will have nothing to help me to filter the images and see which one are the final version
I'd like to post another request for the most useful (and visual) of the rating, flagging, labeling methods - color labels! For those of us with visual impediments, color labels have been crucial over the years - it's so much easier to discern the difference between the color red and the color green than to count the number of dots at the bottom of an image to see if it's 2 or 3.
Please Adobe, be kind to the visually challenged, and bring this feature you've had for decades into the cloud Ecosystem.
