Shoot Lightroom Camera Photos directly into an album?

[joec80289945]

I am using the Lightroom CC app on my Iphone.  In reading several posts, I get the impression that if I create an album, and then select the camera and capture an image, it should go into the album I selected.   That is not happening though, the only place my images turn up are in the LR Camera Photos folder.  

Any way to shoot directly into an album I create?

That actually sounds like a cool feature to have. But I'm almost certain Lightroom CC app doesn't works that way. I do know you can have photos automatically add to an Album from your camera roll (the feature is called "Auto Add From Camera Roll").

The behaviour was changed from shooting into the current Album to shooting into the LR Camera Photos Album (apparently due to customer requests).

Add your vote here to request the return of the old behaviour (I have!):

Hi there

I want to be able to take photos with the Lightroom camera app on y iPhone and add them to the album I am in bout it is only adding Lr camera photos

i Have seen a post saying this feature was removed but this was from 2020 but when you read this documentation it clearly says it should add to the album

https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/lightroom-cc/how-to/lightroom-mobile-manage-albums.html

this is dated 25/8/22

this behaviour is on both my new iPhone 14 pro max and my iPad Air 4 both phone running iOS 16.1.2 and iPadOS is 16.1.1, Lightroom is version 8.0.1 on both devices

any ideas how to solve this as don't want to be paying for copies to be stored in nboth iCloud and adobe and have to remove unwanted photos in both too!!!

thanks

Hi rikk

one question above describes the Lr camera photos as an album but when I go into a photo in there I have no option to remove it from the album unless I delete it

is this right?

 one of the things I like about Lightroom is the ability to organise and this goes against everything that you can do in terms of organisation and May as well 

just use Apple photos

thanks for your help
