Feature Requests

I'm preparing a bunch of files for the web and would like to use Google's WebP format. How can I export photos in Lightroom to WebP?

Nikon cameras stores the focus point that was in focus and the exposure was taken. This would be extremely valuable to see for a sports/action/wildlife photographer.

I would dearly like to see the Lightroom 4 Beta team implement an additional feature in the final release. That feature would be the ability to take a camera+macro lens image of a B&W negative -- essentially a camera-based scan of a negative -- and invert the negative image to a positive image at the beginning of the development process in such a way that the resulting sliders in the LR4 Develop Module would not operate in reverse. As I understand it, this capability exists in Photoshop, but I don't own Photoshop. I do own Photoshop Elements 9, but that program only supports an 8-bit workflow, not 16-bits per channel, and round-tripping between LR & PSE9 requires the reimportation of a TIFF file that is more than twice the size of my NEF RAW files. Since this programming wizardry already exists in Photoshop, I would think that it would be a relatively simple matter to transfer and adapt that code for LR4 -- but then, I'm not a programmer, so what do I know...I've been digitizin

As a timelapse and landscape photographer, I need this feature so much! Birds suddendly appear in different parts of the frame & look like rubbish in the final video.   I know some tricks in AE/Pr how to remove them fast with the Lighten blend mode by duplicating the same footage and moving it 1 frame forward, but it doesn't always work perfectly. It often gives artifacts. Being a perfectionist, I do it manually frame by frame in PS with the Spot Healing brush. Can you imagine how time consuming it is? 300-500+ images to clean... At sunrise the birds wake up and are very active. Almost the same thing with the sunsets. That's why I need the feature like birds removal. I'm sure it would be useful for many landscape photographers.   P.S. I can even provide a few timelapse series (hundreds of shots) to train your algorithms.  

It's high time to add this useful feature from Capture One to ACR 🙂 Skin uniformity.   Very often people have some skin issues like a red nose, uneven skin tone, etc. It'd be a great timesaver in ACR (rather than solving this in PS). By the way, it exists not only in Capture one. There's also Infinite tools plugin, called Unify.   Adobe, what are you waiting for?! We need this in ACR & LR!    

I need a way to have ACES in Camera RAW natively so I can load RAW photos that use ProPhoto since that doesn't exist as a color space in ACES 1.3 in AE. It would be so much easier to convert my stills directly to ACEScg and not need to double convert to external files.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Color_Encoding_System 

In Camera Raw, there is a half-buried setting to write changes to XMP. Unfortunately there is no way to specify that settings should always be written to XMP, so every file I process, I have to manually run that command.   How about adding a preference to always write changes? I move files between machines as my workflow, I use presets and dng profiles, and everything blows up if changes aren't saved out.

SInce last update - I am on CR 17.5.12319 now - the inner circle (feathering amount) has not been visible. I can still adjust the feathering on the slider, but the graphical interpretation has gone.It's on two Windows 11 machines - a laptop and a very well spec. desktop, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.I don't know if this is on purpose, or perhaps somebody has made the same observation.Jan, DK

I shoot video using the Red Epic camera, which shoots super high resolution video. I often pull high-res photos from the camera and use them in Lightroom. However, I'm hoping to add a feature that supports anamorphic lenses. These lenses shoot natively-stretched pixels. Meaning, the images are stretched vertically 2:1. It's a classic way to shoot movies, and I wish Lightroom supported a way to select the pixel aspect ratio so the images can be viewed undistorted. Currently, I have to stretch them in Photoshop and export. Which is a bummer because the Red Camera's raw files are supported in LR, and I would love to use those files straight from the camera rather than make new ones. Anyone else agree?

  Why don't we have a Saturation Range Mask here yet? 🤨   A separate saturation adjustment tool would help us quickly target and fix oversaturated and undersaturated areas, without navigating through multiple tabs and other sliders.

Many people have beautiful, natural freckles that often get softened. Manually enhancing them in Photoshop (with dodge&burn or channel masks) is effective but time-consuming. Add  a one-click "Enhance Freckles" filter within Adobe Camera Raw. Smart Auto-Detection: the filter should intelligently identify and select freckle patterns.Adjustable Sliders: Lightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation. A wide range of values should allow us to do everything from boosting freckles to mostly eliminating them. This would provide a fast, intuitive, and non-destructive way to accentuate a subject's natural character.

currently when you use the amazing camera raw on a layer, it opens a separate interface which is great, but... alas, if you are in need of color matching you are facing a problem because you can't see the color correction in the composite psd document until you close camera raw.if camera raw could be applied in both windows or have a view of the composite in camera raw as one of the views at the bottom this would be amazing. (btw, spliting the views with a way to actually move the split vertically or horizontally and not the layer would be nice)if you want an example this is same as a color correction is applied to layers as an effect in after effects.

Please consider adding a Midtone Adjustment slider to the Develop Module in Lightroom Classic and ACR.  This adjustment slider would be in addition to the other sliders.

Try to crop a 6003 x 4002 image to 6000 x 4000 in one go.   You click and drag, then release your LMB. Now your image is 5999 x 3998. You zoom in your image to get better precision and try again, and this time you get 6001 x 3999. ....   Please implement Photoshop's Canvas Size (⌥⌘C) feature into ACR.

This seems very obvious but having the thumnail strip on the right hand side of the image in camera raw would save a lot of mouse/pen movement across screen when editing mutiple images. I wonder how many miles my cursor has moved this route over the decades:) Apologies if this has been discussed before.

Please give us an option to permanently disable the new-ish toolbar that pops up over the image when using the Color Mixer in Camera Raw. It’s distracting and keeps getting in the way, and I'd rather not have to hit close every time it pops up.

I'd like to see different shape options for the Adjustment Brush and Clone/Heal tools. Circles don't work to well on linear objects. I'd like to see squares. If it doesn't require a great deal of additional code-writing, I'd like to be able to rotate and change the size of the square brush. Just a thought.Jimwww.JMartinHarris.com

Hi Adobe team 👋 First of all, I want to say how impressed I am with the new “Remove Dust” feature in Camera Raw. It works incredibly well — the AI mapping and automatic cleanup of lens dust is a huge time-saver and very accurate. I’d love to suggest an extension of this feature to cover other types of image contamination, especially dead or burned pixels caused by sensor damage. In my case, my camera sensor was hit by a laser, and now I have a few fixed pixel spots that appear in every photo. When I use a fixed lens, the position stays consistent, which makes it easier to correct. But with zoom lenses, the location of the damaged pixels shifts slightly, so I have to manually fix each image one by one. It would be amazing if Camera Raw could include a “Remove Pixel Damage” option — something that detects and corrects these recurring pixel artifacts across a batch of images. I believe this could be implemented similarly to the dust removal logic, and it would help many photograph

I know the sliders allow to fade in and out the selected range, but this still produces bad results in several situations. Blur is different from fading, and it gives better results under many circumstances.

Hey, Adobe! why isn't it here yet?! It's a super handy feature to compare the files. Especially when they are shot with different camera settings / lighting conditions, but you have to make them look similar.   Lightroom has this feature for ages, but as a retoucher I have small series & process them in ACR.   (the screenshot is from a Youtube tutorial)  

It would be good to have an "are you sureyou want to dismiss" request after pressing ESC in ACR. I have occasionally pressed it by accident and it dismisses ACR instantly which can result in hours of lost work. It would be good to demand a confirmation to save us from our own finger trouble!

I'd like to have the cross closing icon at the upper right corner of the ACR window.The same function as the Cancel button, but in a more user friendly location, IMHO 🙂When I open files for a qick review and then want to close the window, intuitively I move the cursor to the upper corner... again and again. I believe, I'm not alone, heh

It works for ages in LR, why don't we have it in ACR?One scroll of the mouse wheel changes the value by 5 points (or 0.1 for the exposure). It's very handy.
