Lightroom offers advanced AI-driven features like auto-editing, culling, and stacking. My aim is to use Lightroom as my sole program for reviewing and editing local photos, eliminating the need for both Adobe Bridge and Lightroom. Here are the Lightroom features I need to fully switch from Adobe Bridge:
- Allow adjustment of the Info Panel (I) width, similar to how we can resize the Photos Panel (P).
- Make it possible to display the filmstrip across the entire bottom of Lightroom while keeping both the Info Panel and the Photos Panel open, mirroring the modular panel functionality in Adobe Bridge.
- Improve the display of long filenames when viewing local files in Zoom mode (spacebar), possibly by showing the full name underneath the photo.
- Support importing local folder structures (and their photos) into Albums.
- Enable exporting the Cloud Albums folder structure (and photos) locally without relying on the destructive Archive Folder Locally feature.
- Provide "Stacks" functionality for local photos.
- Allow the Navigation Bar to be hidden.
- Add a menu option and hotkey to apply crops and edits directly to local photos, enabling destructive saving (overwrite the original photo).
