Insert the possibility for collaborators to be able to use the V (selected) and X (reject) flags in the shared photos and also the star rating. Additionally, contributors can't use tags in shared albums.
It is very important that these possibilities are active because it helps to work the photographs faster between the various teams to which the photo albums have been shared.

Can someone PLEASE explain to my why back in 2019 Adobe removed the ability for collaborators through "share and invite" cannot contribute by filtering photos with stars and "flag as picks"?

I need help from my assistants to go through thousands of photos on my behalf remotely and they cannot do this in adobe.

Why did Adobe remove this feature?! Does anyone know of a workaround? Please help.

Thank you,

Cody

When I share a catalog, even thought the guest can contribute by adding pictures or develop pictures, there is one thing he cannot do, he cannot change the star levels of the pictures.

This is a big issue because I would like others to help me rating my pictures, but this is impossible, even when I put "can edit and contribute". They can see the star levels of the pictures, but they cannot change it.

Can you please help me ? Is this a bug or I did something wrong ?

Thank you for helping,

Nicolas Frobert

No, you did nothing wrong. Currently the client/guest can do nothing more than apply "likes" and "comments". There is an existing feature request already in place for that functionality, so I expect that soon a moderator will merge your post with that existing thread.

Hi

We recently upgraded to enterprise so our teams could upload all weddings and share with our inhouse editor (as promised would work by Adobe support). Then after we had to 4x our cost with additional licenses, we find out today that she is unable to cull the albums by using flag/pick or star features on any shared albums. This is just crazy that this feature is not available at all and I am at a loss. Can advice (other than going back to the old school way of exporting catalogs).

We are sharing images from shoots with remote teams in Lightroom, although they can comment and like, it would be great to have the ability to have those with access to the albums to be able to star rate them.

Thanks,

Simon

I have shared some albums in Lightroom, and invitees can like or comment, but I don't see a way for them to star rate the images. It would be really helpful when selecting images remotely.

Am I missing something?

No, that's currently not possible.

I would imagine there's an existing feature request for this functionality, it would be worth adding your vote to it.

When my colleague and I are working together in a shared album, it would be great if both of us would be able to pick / flag images, not just the one who created the shared album. This would improve our workflow so much.

We can do every thing else in the shared album, why not this?

When sharing an album with collaborative editing turned on I'm missing the ability for the invitee to change the flag and rating on the image. I think that's an essential part of being able to edit, is this functionality missing or deliberately left out? Collaboratively deciding which images should be part of an album would be great and the reason for me to setup a second individual account for my partner.

I moved your feedback from Bugs to Ideas, as the current functionality is working as intended: only the owner can apply flags and ratings, while other members in a shared album can only Like and Comment.

To have a partner help apply flags and ratings would be a next level of collaborative permissions for the team to consider adding. Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Hello,

I have shared some images from Lightroom Classic to thecloud using the collections and sync feature.

I then opened and shared an album with someone as an editor and contributor.

That person can not rate or flag photos, but they can edit and everything else.

Can someone explain this?? It would be very helpful if that person could have access to the rate and flag function.

Is this because the files were originally synced to the cloud using the Classic program, and not the new app?

Thank you in advance.

No, it's simply that the functionality to allow editors/contributors of shared albums to rate/flag/keyword the images has not yet been made available. To date, only the album owner can do that. Adobe are aware of the request, but only they know if they intend to do anything about it.

What a terrible implementation. I'm the editor, but I need my team members to be able to select their favorites images.
