P: Restore Editing in Landscape Mode on iPhones?

[pjglad]

Does Lightroom Mobile work in landscape mode on an iPhone?

[PVBdawg]

Many many updates, including today. .. and Adobe still withholding this core feature.

A good year has now passed. When will we finally get horizontal editing back?

I used this option very often to edit my photos on the go. Editing photos in landscape simply doesn't make sense in portrait mode.

[Swissmac]

I wanted to give the vertical view another chance today. But unfortunately it doesn't work for me just in the rating of the photos, because photos taken horizontally in the vertical view on the cell phone are too small to judge them well.

Therefore my urgent request: Please allow rating and editing in landscape view again. It is still incomprehensible to me why useful and flawless functions are being removed from an app that I pay for every month and have already paid for for many years to come.

Ich wollte heute wieder einmal der vertikalen Ansicht eine Chance geben. Doch leider funktioniert es bei mir nur schon in der Bewertung der Fotos nicht, da horizontal aufgenommene Fotos in der vertikalen Ansicht auf dem Handy zu klein sind um sie gut zu beurteilen.

Daher meine dringende Bitte: Ermöglicht wieder das Bewerten und Bearbeiten in der Landscape Ansicht. Es ist für mich noch immer unverständlich, warum man nützliche und einwandfreie Funktionen in einer App entfernt, wo ich monatlich Geld dafür bezahle und auch für viele weitere Jahre bereits bezahlt habe.

I was so disappointed that the latest major updates didn't include this... It's just so much more difficult to edit vertically. 

@Charlie.D - any chance of at least a progress update here?

Hello @umlautnord 

Unfortunately, I can only comment on released functionality.  I am not allowed to share roadmap and schedule info.  

A colleague or I will update this thread when there is news we can share.

[pjglad]

Charlie.D - I understand that you cannot share Roadmap or Schedule Info. However, can you share why Lightroom iPhone was regressed and the Landscape option was removed? Obviously, there was rationale for that decison. Please articulate the rationale. Thanks.

[PVBdawg]

Exactly. Why was it removed? This was functionality that I used every single day and I'm definitely not alone.

[umlautnord]

@Charlie.D Thanks for replying. I totally understand you're limited in what you can say! In the pinned post, however, you do say "lack of edit while in landscape is a matter of the implementation not being complete yet"—that indicates to me that it's at least coming. Can you at least confirm that statement remains true—that it's still planned/in the pipeline/someday?

Hello @umlautnord 

I am here to help users by sharing functional knowledge I have about the LR iOS app.  It's not my role to set priorities or talk about product roadmap.

I see now that me including the word "until" implies product plans, but that's poor word choice on my part.  I'll amend that now to be clearer to new folks who visit this thread.

[umlautnord]

@Charlie.D OK! I understand if the status really is just unknown at this point (will happen, won't happen, and/or when). Or if you can't share any info at all. I was picking up on the semantics out of hope, perhaps... 🙂

I appreciate the clarification. I'm just pushing on this because of continued strong interest in the feature returning!

Thanks again.

Adding my voice to the list of users requesting this horizontal editing functionality back. The mobile app is nearly useless on iPhone without this feature.

Stiill no  landscape editing on iPhone 😞 , but on my android device it is working fine.

[Wurstkrapfen]

Don't say that, they might notice they forgot to take it away there too.

Hello Adobe team,

I am a content creator who regularly uses Lightroom Mobile on iPhone to record screen tutorials. In earlier versions, the editing tools were available in landscape mode, which made it much easier to record and demonstrate adjustments.

Recently, the tools disappeared in landscape orientation, and this significantly affects content creators like me who rely on horizontal view for quality screen recordings.

Please consider bringing back full editing functionality in landscape mode on iPhones. This feature is still available on Android, and it would greatly improve the iOS experience.

Thank you!

[PVBdawg]

They don't care. Simple as that. Look how long it's been. Tons of comments here. Tons of negative reviews. They simply don't care about our feedback. Our best option is to find alternatives. 

[umlautnord]

I return to this thread occasionally and it just boggles my mind that this is feature (apparently) still available on Android, that previously existed on iOS, and there is no clear commitment to return it to iOS.

I have no doubt that Adobe employees see these posts, including those who share my—and many others'—perspective. I beg them to get a decision maker to try to spend some time editing in vertical-only mode on an iOS device and compare it to being able to edit in horizontal mode.
