P: Restore Editing in Landscape Mode on iPhones?

[pjglad]

Does Lightroom Mobile work in landscape mode on an iPhone?

Can you tell us what app you are using on your phone? Is it the Acrobat Reader Premium? Adobe Express? Something else?

You posted to Using the Community (for questions about the forums) and we will be happy to move your post for you when you tell us which mobile app.

Hi, I don't understand why Adobe has removed the editing in landscape mode, I literally used that on every photo edit. Bring it back please Adobe 

[Ptraye]

it used to. but, it looks like they took that away. hopefully, they'll allow landscape mode editing again.

I see from the pinned reply that this is coming back soon (apparently as part of the revised UI - which I know there are some other issues with people aren't happy with). But it needs to be prioritized to come back ASAP. Phones are frequently going to have some of the most capable screens, especially when it comes to HDR—it's vital to be able to edit in landscape!

[tschnurr]

"one can still rotate" haha yes of course thats not in  question at all but this limites the edit due to fact that this horizontal screen is then smaller and of course less convient to edit compared to landscape mode. Seems you didnt edit a lot via phone which I use often even as a professional a MUST have!

"Why was the rotate feature removed while editing in Lightroom Mobile, especially on iOS? It significantly impacts my workflow in the Lightroom Mobile app. Can you provide information on why this change was made, and is there any consideration for reinstating this feature?"

[umlautnord]

Do you mean the ability to rotate the phone and edit in landscape mode? If so, it was apparently removed as part of a rework of the iOS interface for some reason. They are indeed working on/planning on restoring it per the pinned post on this idea thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-ecosystem-cloud-based-ideas/p-restore-editing-in-landscape-... Upvotes on that overall idea can't hurt to hopefully have it restored ASAP, though!

(I assume you don't mean rotating the image itself—I have no trouble with doing that still in the Crop/Rotate section in Edit mode. Just have to do it while the phone is in portrait.)

They said their tracking metrics said no one used it. It's now been almost 4 months since they said it would be coming back. I've already cancelled my sub.. may come back if edit in landscape returns. 

[umlautnord]

Just noting that the pinned statement re tracking metrics was corrected to say that it's being worked on, essentially—the original tracking metrics statement was made in error.  But 4 months is a long time to be "working on it" for an important feature. I think that if they were/are updating the mobile UI, it was a mistake to release changes that disabled the landscape edit ability, but obviously we don't know the full story on roadmaps or whatever. Just that it's not good for us as users to have lost the feature!

When I try to edit any picture on my iPhone XR in landscape veiw, lightroom get struck and the phone becomes brick. The phones switches off and I had to turn it on and work in potrait veiw. IOS version 17.0.2

How long does it take to re-insert a removed function? I can't explain why nobody has used this function. After a concert or theater, I imported the images into Lightroom Classic and synchronized them with the cloud so that I could make selections and light edits on the go the next day. That way I could make good use of my free time to work on photos. Always in landscape mode, otherwise it makes no sense for me with landscape photos.

Honestly, it's incomprehensible why a useful function has been removed just because people were too lazy to get to grips with it and learn how to work with it. On the other hand, it's actually quite simple, you just have to hold the phone horizontally.

Wie lange braucht es denn noch um eine entfernte Funktion wieder einzufügen? Ich kann es mir nicht erklären, dass diese Funktion niemand benutzt hat. Nach einem Konzert oder Theater habe ich die Bilder in Lightroom Classic importiert und mit der Cloud synchronisiert, damit ich am Folgetag unterwegs die Auswahl und leichte Bearbeitungen machen konnte. So konnte ich gut freie Zeit nutzen um an Fotos zu arbeiten. Dies immer im horizontalen Modus, anders macht es für mich keinen Sinn bei horizontalen Fotos.

Ganz ehrlich, es ist unverständlich warum man eine nützliche Funktion entfernt hat, nur weil Leute zu faul waren um sich damit auseinander zu setzen und zu lernen wie man damit arbeitet. Zum anderen ist es eigentlich ganz einfach, man muss nur das Telefon horizontal halten.

Actions speak. Adobe isn't bringing it back. 

[Wurstkrapfen]

I wonder if they will remove it for Android too.

  Olá boa tarde, recentemente tive um problema, tentei fazer edição com iPhone 15 na horizontal e não consigo, não aparece barra de ferramentas.

Try genuflecting...

Hello Charlie.D (Adobe Employee) - where are we with the Landscape Implementation?

[Charlie.D]

Hello @pjglad 

Apologies for the lag -- I was on PTO last week.

I can't share specific dates for upcoming work (company policy), but will say that the team has heard the feedback here and continues to weigh this against competing priorities.  

[nikcotten9]

It would be so great if Lightroom brought back being able to edit sideways on Lightroom mobile! I really miss that feature, I feel it really makes it easier to compose my crops and get a better idea of the more intricate edits I'm making. 

Does anyone know if it's still possible or have they done away with it completely on mobile?

[PVBdawg]

Look at how long we, the CUSTOMERS, have been hard pressing to have this CORE functionality brought back.. yet no ACTION from Adoble.. Adoble is not listinging to US, the CUSTOMERS. 

[PVBdawg]

It makmes no sense that it was taken.. I turn off Data Tracking.. as do many users.. This was core funtionality for MANY. 

[Lemac]

Wait Android still has it?
