I really need a feature where lightroom classic can do both: downgrade photos that are stored as originals in the cloud to smart previews, and the reverse. It should keep all current settings such as face recognition. It would also need filters for sync status/type in order to find images.    Closer integration and control between LR classic and cloud eco system would mean I would pay more for cloud storage. As is stands, I don't use my cloud storage or import via LR CC because of the volume of my work (33tb) and the unavailability of controls to manage that storage.   Current workaround: As it stands, the only way to clear cloud storage is to unsync the collection in classic, then remove the images from all synced images, then resync the collection. However there's no indication in classic what images are stored as origionals so you have to use LR CC desktop to filter sync status images, and find what collections they are in as LR mobile doesn't have that option. This process also removes the albums position in CC folder structure and likely removes CC specific things like face tags. This is a huge pain, so I don't import photos using lightroom CC, making lightroom cloud less useful for me.   If this were to be improved, I would upgrade my cloud storage and find CC mobile and desktop far more useful. While it's yet to be fully detailed or announced, Capture One has said they are working on a more robust system for cloud syncing between devices and their mobile ecosystem beyond their current one way transfer system. I hope adobe strengthens their syncing in response. ... View more

It would be really useful for me if there was a list of locally stored albums available in the Local Storage settings section. I use folders heavily and use multiple devices so it's easy for me to lose track of what albums are locally stored without drilling down in each folder to find what is stored. A simple list in the settings with an option to remove would make my life a lot easier. ... View more

I'm having an issue where my entire back catalogue before a certain date has all of the edits in the image's history, but with no step selected, meaning the photo is unedited. There's no way I am aware of to bulk restoring history steps and with 200k edited images, doing them one by one is pretty impractical.  I had a full corruption of my catalogue in october, and restoring to an earlier october backup I discovered this issue with images earlier than september. This backup catalogue also couldn't be imported into other catalogues and couldn't sync to LR cloud. I exported all my photos as a new catalogue and the sync and import work now, but the unselected history step issue remains the same. Is there a way to fix this or am I going to have to sit down with adobe support to get them to fix the database? ... View more

So the new AI denoise feature is game changing. Love it. But it does spit out 90-150mb files for 20mpx raws, which is not practical for me. I have to then compress them using convert to dng > lossy compression. It would be GREAT if this was an option to do this during the denoise process so I don't need to do extra steps. Since it's a stacked additional file, I don't personally mind lossy compression but I do mind an additional 30gb of storage required for the workflow. ... View more

So an extremely useful and time saving feature of Lightroom classic is missing from CC and is stopping me from switching entirely (and therefore spending more on cloud hosting); the + and - hot keys that could be mapped to any adjustment to super quickly tweak a particular adjustment.  In my workflow I use it to quickly adjust exposure as I go through my event photos, generally my presets get me 90% of the way there and I just need to tweak exposure a little. Currently on CC I need to lift my hand from the keyboard that I was using for navigating/rating photos to the mouse/touchscreen in order to change exposure, which disrupts my flow and increases editing time. This one small tweak would make a big difference to my workflow and in turn make me fully switch to CC. ... View more
