P: Introduce image stacks/groups for mobile

[highwayhigh]

Please allow for image "stacks" or "groups" on Lightroom for iPad. This would be relevant for (at least) the following workflow:

* Maintaining copies of both Raw and JPG images alongside each other, without seeing the images twice in the catalog; also, allows you to reject/accept both Raw and JPG forms in a single step.

* Collecting in-camera bracketed images into a single group.

Even with this, you'll still need Lightroom Classic to do any sort of stitching (HDR, Pano, etc), but this would at least allow my iPad catalog to stay organized until I can make it back to a computer with LrC. Thank you.

One of the biggest reasons I cannot use my iPad (or phone) as a laptop replacement is due to my panorams/HDR photo stacks not showing up properly on mobile apps. I am not asking to be able to create panos/hdr on mobile... simply for them to show up properly while scrolling through photos.

Thanks for considering. Hopefully this can be fixed soon.

Years waiting for this. Hopefully, Adobe decides to listen to the customers in 2023.

Can we stack or layer images on mobile? If not could we get that feature added?

I vote "YES" for adding "Group Into Stacks" functionality in iOS as in MacOS! I use it when taking multiple photos of a subject as lighting changes or any situation when there are groups of images that show be grouped together under a representative image.

Request for AI people face feature masking and HDR photo stacking features like on PC. I use LR for IPad 

[PrenticeShalamar]

Can we get a limited (30 or less frames) stacking option for Lightroom mobile?

The ability to Focus stack, Exposure stack, and stack to Denoise would be extremely useful.

[scot.hacker]

If I use the Denoise feature in Lightroom, it automatically creates a Stack in Lightroom (cloudy). That's handy. When I then open up LR Mobile, I find two versions of the same image, and it's hard to tell them apart on the small screen, so I can't quite tell which one is de-noised (i.e. which one to post). 

I later realized that stacks simply aren't supported in Mobile and that this problem applies to all stacks, whether created manually or automatically (e.g. by using Denoise).  And that people have been reporting this problem in Mobile for a very long time.  

Please support stacks in Mobile! 

[stephenpyle]

I think this is something that prohibits using the mobile version for me - the stacks are Lightroom generated when you do a denoise - so it really seems that all Lightroom products should respect what the program creates.

I had a noisy shoot - so 500 becomes 1000... if you use the online gallery to preview - it makes scrolling through, very tedious.

Please fix!

[umlautnord]

As someone who goes back and forth between the iPad and desktop versions of Lightroom, this drives me nuts. Particularly annoying with the denoise-created stacks, and just ungodly annoying with a panorama stack with 5-10 source images in it! There's a reason there's an option to create a stack—because it's useful.

I'd probably use stacks more for organization if they actually translated into mobile, but right now I just fight with them on enhance and panos, and avoid them otherwise.

It beggers belief, that such a basic feature is still missing, 6 years after the start of this thread...

So much of their products now feels like the project brief was: "do the bare minimum, so that people keep paying the subscription"

[otherguy]

I second this. The M4 iPad Pro is powerful enough to do all Lightroom editing on it, yet I cannot stack photos or merge HDRs or panoramas.

[Rick.Williams]

Please this! I have started taking a lot of panoramas, and in the desktop version the individual photos stack nicley with the panarama it creates. In the iOS and iPadOS version it makes the whole gallery messy.

[JuniorJr]

And ANOTHER two years gone from your message, and STILL no stacking

[Rodrigo Murta]

Wow! 6 years and nothing... Adobe can di better. 

[luxBorealis]

Nowadays, with burst shooting, image stacking , panoramas and HDR, grouping photos is an ESSENTIAL part of any editing suite. OMG, Adobe, what is taking you so long to bring this to LrMobile for iPad???

[Zenodroid]

Sad to see Adobe just ignore this, even though it got a lot of attention and support by users. 

[JuniorJr]

Only thing I’ll say is Windows on ARM isn’t a last week surprise.

[gregs268362]

How is this still not a thing? Stacks work perfectly on desktop but outside of that are broken. If I create an album on desktop and include photos with stacks it displays correctly, with only the stack cover image show in the grid. If I look at the same album on my Android device, or if I share the album and look at it on the web, all the different versions in the stack are shown as separate photos. Even worse is there's no way to remove photos within a stack from an album - I have to remove the entire stack, then open the stack, right-click on the cover photo and add that to the album. Such frustrating!

[Beep_Beep_24]

Hi - I'm wondering whether it's possible to stack photos in Lightroom mobile, please?

[JohanElzenga]

No, that is not supported in Lightroom mobile at this time.

[JuniorJr]

Nope 😞 There's quite a bit missing for feature parity between the
two and that's one of them. Color labels too and other 'things'.

[AlexJz]

@JohanElzenga this is pretty much what you said back in 2018. 
When it's been 6 years and Adobe hasn't done anything to implement a basic feature, there's no need to put "yet" or "not at this time". 
You can pretty much replace it by "not ever will be".

Not only is this quite a crucial feature that existed since very early versions of Lightroom, but it breaks the workflow if you start stackong on your computer and want to continue work on iPad
