P: Compare Photos and Survey Mode

[donderhaas]

I really miss the ability to pick 1-2-3 similar photos from a shoot and compare them during my editing process to pick the beset one of the three.

Please bring that back to this version.

I am no longer seeing the option to compare a RAW to the finished photo in the newest update.  Anyone have any idea where this moved to?

It's still exactly where it was, in the ... menu when you're in an edit view.

Hmmm. Nothing in 2 years. Even a very simple side-by-side view would be better than nothing...

[JohnnyPixel]

it would be useful to have the possibility to compare 2 or more images as in lightroom classic

Years later and still nothing, this is really a very easy request to implement

I also find the lack of this fundamental feature to be very frustrating.  Get on it, Adobe.

That is why there are 2 Lightroom programs.

Adding my vote to this.  The ability to compare two photos side by side is a very important need that is still missing from LrCC.

Please make the survey feature available in LrCC!

Hi! I would LOVE to use LR more than Classic, but the inability to compare photos together is a deal-breaker.  PLEASE add this feature.  Especially for client presentation and sorting, it is a feature that I use the most.  Thanks!

[Cameron Braun]

The new version of Lightroom is still missing a huge number of features that are absolutely critical, but the one that seems most obvious to me is Survey View. This is a desperately needed function. Please continue to port over critical features from Classic.

Lightroom classic and capture one have modes where you can display multiple images that are large at the same time.  It makes it easy to show clients their images and makes editing easy because you can compare them side by side.  Adding this to the newer version of lightroom would be fantastic as all my images are saved on this.  I have to download all the images and then upload them to classic to present my images which is a hassle.

I think this will never happen. Actually we all gave the answer why. It is the only thing holding us back from switching fully to CC. That means less money for Adobe. You get CC for 10 bucks, if you want classic you pay 20. So it will never come, cause it will cost them subscribers.

Hey adobe

Do you know if Lightroom CC will ever get the compare option?
Lightroom CC currently only has the option for users to view a full-sized version of your original image. There is no way to view this as a side-by-side, top/bottom or split screen comparison.

I switched from Lightroom Classic to Lightroom (or Lightroom CC) a few years back and I love everything about it except for the lack of a compare feature! I can't be the only one who takes a few photos of the same thing, making slight adjustments to focus or angle or exposure. And then in Lightroom I want to pull up both photos at the same time, compare, zoom, move around, and pick my favorite. Can that feature PLEASE be added?

If I understand your request correctly, what I do is rate them the same, or flag them, and then use the filter to have only those on my screen for comparison.

@andrelaubner I have never understood this option from Adobe. Why would I want 2 different Lightrooms? There's no way to interface between the 2. Do they really think I'm going to export a photo from one, edit it in the other, and then import it back? The main difference between the 2 shouldn't be features but should be storage. Lightroom CC is for families/hobbyists who have less than or around 1TB of photos and want it on the cloud. Lightroom Classic is for pros, those who have many TBs of photos, or those who want local storage. But a compare feature really doesn't seem like a PRO feature. Like I take a family photo, snap 5 or 6 versions to make sure everyone is smiling, and want to compare these photos. That seems like a logical feature for Lightroom CC.

Hello,

I want to compare 2 images side by side in Lightroom CC. In Lightroom Classic this works with: Select images (X / Y) and then "C". In Lightroom CC, pressing the "C" key means CUTTING.

Please support how I can get pictures side by side in Lightroom CC 2, so that I can select the better picture and continue to process it, thank you very much.

Greetings Wolfgang

So hilarious you would think Adobe is listening, and even more hilarious you think Adobe would fix something that is obvious for human.

I'll give you an example: you can drag files into an album to import, but you can't when it's empty, but I'm sure such an amateur bug maker(s) is still getting a payroll every month from the Lr team.

Good luck for those asking a question here.

[shawn_lee]

Oh did I mention this can't-drag-files-into-empty-album bug is there for 2 YEARs! not some negligence then quickly fixed next update.

Good luck to those of you still think Adobe is a great company.

Lightroom Desktop doesn't have a compare mode at this time, increasing the Grid view to maximum is as close as you can get right now. I'll merge your post into the existing feature request to add your vote, as the number of votes is taken into account when prioritizing feature requests.

[shawn_lee]

to the queen, "increasing the Grid view to maximum is as close as you can get right now", nice, compromise well done!

the old house has a mirror which is essential, then people asking why this new house doesn't have one, what you said is well, you can use the window glass as a mirror right now.

really? r u a queen, or an unconscious evil defender.
