With the really wonderful lens blur simulation tool, I would really love to see other optical simulations such as halation to simulate film glow or blackmist lens filters. Halation for those of you who don't know is a glow on bright light sources that spills further into the image. If you've ever had a foggy lens, that's sort of an extreme version of the effect. It creates a dreamy effect, and softens it while still retaining clarity (not quite sure how to properly describe it, but it's kind of a perfect meld of filmic softness and digital clarity). It would be very useful to do this without having to use a filter, which is an additional piece of equipment and can effect exposure and focus, and is ultimately a "destructive" effect that you can't change in editing once you've shot with the filter. It's possible to emulate this with a roundtrip to photoshop or other tools, but that's time consuming and is quite fiddly and takes up additional hard drive space with copies. I'd love to have it built into lightroom as another nondestructive tool with sliders to adjust things like the luminance threshold/curve, size and opacity of the blur to be able to create more stylised filmic images.

It's correct, but you do not have to drag the images back into 'All Synced Photographs'. Just turning on sync again of the {China_Trip} collection will already do that.

Hi, I have had images 'stuck' syncing ever since 13.4 release. Bulk deletions in LRC were not syncing to the cloud. More recently, DNG images generated by AI noise reduction were not synced to the cloud. A number of conversations with Adobe support didn't lead to any conclusions. However, I upgraded to release 13.5 today, and, surprisingly, all images now seem to sync. I'm left with no indication of any stuck images but with a 'sync error' for which there is no information either in LRC or the cloud.

Just bought a LoupeDeck + as I edit thousands of photos regulary due to a fast paced sports photography workflow. Upvote this and help Adobe finally add plug-ins for Lightroom instead of making use the slow and antiquated Lightroom Classic!

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.

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.

Oh and I did already have the adobe database team look at it for the catalogue import and sync issues, but I hadn't discovered the history issue at the time. They returned the catalogue but it exhibited the same symptoms, it was only after that I created the new catalogue. But the history issue exists on recent backups too.

Since this is a request, I'd add the following:
1. Option in Enhance dialog: do not embed a copy of the original (which is what is happening, a copy in lossless DNG). That would also allow users to know this can happen, which they do not today.
2. Option to extract that Lossless DNG so you could, if so desired, delete the original. As it stands now, you have two "original" raws, which seems unnecessary.

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.

Also, I'd imagine screen specs (amoled/lcd/etc, dpi, resolution etc) are extremely critical for lightroom to work well. Only a coupe of options with an iPad, infinite options with Android tablets
