P: be able to create custom aspect ratios with numbers.

I need a specific aspect ratio for my photos. And the lack of a way to input that ratio into the iPad version of Lightroom is a HUGE hassle.

 

Can we please have a way to use numbers to create the perfect aspect ratio when cropping?

Great another thread pointing out how Adobe is not adding features people want, merged with another thread that is abandoned. 

Adobe, why are you so against adding stuff that users want and thatypu already have given users on other versions of your apps?

 

These aren't unreasonable requests. In fact, some of the features are already in the iPad version of Lightroom, but you haven't implemented the controls for them. Why is that?

 

Seriusly? Don't you see how making the iPad version of Lightroom feature complete (in comparison to Lightroom Classic) will make the app more desirable? 

You guys does (unfortunately) have the best RAW editor on iPad, but for some reason your resting on your laurels and assuming that will last forever, only adding some tiny features no one asks for. (Like AI crap.)

Aspect ratio with numbers for accuracy.

 

Calibration sliders for more control over colors.

 

All adjustments for masks in Classic.

 

Enhance Details for Fujifilm X-Trans sensors.

 

Panorama stitching.

 

HDR stitching. This one feels extra wild that it's not on iPad. Some iPads now have HDR compatible displays and can already edit HDR in lightroom.

 

It has been YEARS and these things are still missing on the iPad! Why? Can we at the very least get an answer to why you're keeping the iPad version from being as good as Classic?

 

The wild thing is that adjustments to things like the calibration sliders and the masking adjustments that aren't on iPad, still gets applied on the iPad if you import a DNG file with those adjustments. And you can even make presets of them. 

I made a preset that applies noise to only shadows by transferring a DNG with a mask that does that. For some reason the iPad version of Lightroom is able to do these things, but Adobe doesn't want to put in the sliders and buttons for them.

 

Why Adobe?

I don't need free form cropping, I need specific dimensions, if that makes sense.
