P: Ability to change the interface background color

LEGEND ,
May 22, 2016 May 22, 2016

I would love to be able to change the background color of the Lightroom Mobile interface while I'm editing an image. Working freelance and traveling a lot and commuting, I use my iPad a lot to make adjustments so I can save time. Several of my jobs have required me to have backgrounds close to white but without being white (specifically e-commerce photos). Even though I'm using the clipping mask to see my white and black points, it would still be nice to have a white background during those projects to make sure I don't make my models look like they're floating in the middle of nowhere. It would be one more step I could get done before even getting to the studio! Thanks!

This was released for desktop but remains an open request for Mobile. 

Looks like no one marked it released....

I was looking for how to change the background on the lightroom app on iOS. I would like to change it like I do on photoshop. I am amazed the first time it was asked was almost 9 years ago, and it's still not available. 😳

Same, I went to change the setting and was amazed its not there. LR is missing some things and they aren't changing. We can agree that the argument that products improve with ongoing revenue so we should accept subscription for service is debunked here, right?

Editing photos against a black background, as the app is currently set up with, produces files slightly darker than is normally appropriate when viewed against white backgrounds, such as web pages and matted prints. This has long been known by those of us who worked in a wet darkroom!

Being able to accurately adjust exposure for both he histogram and the end use (e.g. white backgrounds) should be an essential feature--therefore allowing the user to choose the canvas background colour (as can be done in the desktop/laptop version) should be easy to implement (e.g. View Options > Choose Canvas, and have a selection of black, neutral grey, white, etc.)
