P: Batch Rating, Flagging and Keywords

[Vitigreen]

On the desktop version of Lightroom CC I (and many other photographers I know) use batch rating and flagging to select a large amount of keepers or reject photos I might later want to delete. This works by selecting multiple images and than pressing the corresponding number (0-5) to star, p to pick, x to reject and u to unflag. As the promise of the iPad was to be a professional working device it would immensely speed up my workflow. I don't think this would require any change in the UI (because most of us use Lightroom with a keyboard), although adding a star bar and flags would make it easy for the touch users as well.

Batch keywording and metadata editing would help with the organization of the photos and one could easily correct a time delay if the camera wasn't set up properly. This would definitely need new buttons in the UI, but I think it's worth it in the long run.

Yes, I want this too. It sucks that this isn't implemented already. I've been subscribed to Lightroom for almost 2 years now, and nothing has functionally changed on iPad. Still this, and still the marked popup midphoto, instead of on the bottom or side. Often blocking someones eyes, so slowing down my workflow because I can't judge a photo.

This would be a good new feature in the mobile version ... along with the need to auto advance when rating or flagging a photo.

For it to be useful with keywords though, it'd need to sync keywords with Lightroom Classic which it currently doesn't do!

I'm not able to multi select pictures and then add/update keywords.  I currently have to add/update one picture at a time.  Given I have 10s of thousands of pictures, this is not going to happen.

I'm assuming I can do this on the desktop app, but part of the reason for the cloud was so that I could manage my library without having to be sitting at the computer.

Correct you can only set keywords multiple images at a time in the desktop app. Adobe should provide an interface to do this multiple images at a time also in the mobile versions. It is not there right now that I can see.

While waiting for Adobe to add the ability to keyword multiple images in Lightroom Mobile, be aware that you can do this using the LrWeb interface in your browser on the iPad (or phone). The biggest challenge is easily selecting multiple images, though that is easy enough if you have an attached keyboard on your iPad.

On iPad it is still not possible to mark a selection of photos as wanted/unwanted, or rate a batch. 

I could almost do my entire workflow on iPad, but this super simple feature is preventing me to do it.

This feature has been asked for since quite a while (also by me), but while I pay a lot for Lightroom each year, this basic feature still isn't there.

Please give me the ability to mark a selection of photos as wanted/unwanted, or rate a selection of photos.

Are we seriously the only ones missing this basic feature? I love editing on my iPad because of the Apple Pencil, but because of this I can't do my entire workflow on iPad. Adobe is constantly pushing annoying useless emails about whatever new tutorial they've created, but improving the basic functionality of Lightroom Mobile seems to be too far fetched. I can't get in contact with Adobe in any other way, so there is only hope anyone ever reads this.
