LightRoom 4 feature

One thing missing from LightRoom 4 is the ability to have a slpit window in the development module where you can have the color checker and a target picture showing at the same time but separate making it sooo much simpler to see what happening when you go through the color and white balance adjustments. Currently the synch function is more of a global event (nothing wrong with that eiter) but sometimes a indib=vidual adjust memt or a more rtefined set of adjustments are needed. This can be similar to the current before and after set up but using two different pictures (refernce and target).

Thanks for the information about the work around.
I am a firm believer in the KISS principle and as such still think
the feature should be incorporated as a "one click" feature / option.
It does not take much of coding to do this action and would be a
great benefit hence well worth the effort.
So my request is that this be seriously considered!

Lightroom features/bug fixes I would like to see in next version

I love the Adobe Lightroom Application. It is very intiutive and out of the different RAW processing programs I've tried, it is the only one that has most of the features I need and has the least amount of complications. However, I think there are still places to improve upon:
* Decouple raw processor from the monolithic software executable so that updates to the RAW camera component to add new cameras can be made without requiring huge downloads or reinstallation of a new software program but simply updating a few DLLs and files.
* Improve performance of the Develop panel. It is extremely slow on my laptop running 32bit Windows 7 and 3GB of RAM with dual core processor (pre-Core duo). 8 to 10 seconds for the "loading" message to disappear per image no matter how often I have loaded or edited the image. No caching is being done at all.
* On my higher powered Desktop (Quad Core2 processor/4GB RAM,Windows 7), Adobe Lightroom frequently will start behaving strangely after only a few hours of running. It seems like it is leaking resources or something because eventually functionality will start failing. Specifically, right clicking on images will no longer bring up menus for example. If i shutdown and restart the application, the problem goes away.
* Photoshop-like healing brush. Many times I want to "brush" over areas of image defects but the only choice in Lightroom is the healing tool which always creates a circle and does not allow "brushing". This only works if the defect is a spot and not an irregular area.
* Adjustment with Arbitrary Mask tool. Bibble 5 has this nice concept where you can mask out a section of an image and then apply adjustments to it without affecting the rest of the image. You simply draw a mask and then you can apply adjustments to it. The only option in Lightroom is to select the "Mask" option but that leaves the decision of where exactly you want to mask to Lightroom which only uses edge contrast to determine masking area.
* I'd like a way to tell Lightroom to update the metadata (write out) on all images that are out of sync. Right now the write metadata function will write out metadata to all files whether or not it is required. This means that it is inpractical to try to update your entire catalog as tens of thousands of files will be written to and not just those that are out of sync. This is very important as a way to preserve editing metadata in case of loss of the Lightroom catalog.
* Option to write import metadata to imported files. For example, I have an import metadata for copyright and keywords and I want the imported JPG or DNG files to permanently have this metadata so that even if individual files are copied my copyright and other metadata are preserved with it.
* Option to append text labels to automatically generated import destination folder names. So for example, I can still import into date based directories but append a description to help me remember what the folder contains when I'm later browsing it. Right now it is either/or. You can either choose the name of the import folder destination OR you can have the software generate one for you.
* A google-type search box at the top of the library panel so that ad-hoc searches can be done without having to fool around with the filters. Everybody is used to a single search box for simple textual searches.
* some way to filter images by whether they have been exported previously or not
* Please support lens and shooting information for Sony DSLRs in both JPG and RAW files. Also support 3rd party lenses on Sony DSLRs without assigning the wrong Minolta lenses to them. I want to be able to see both Lens name, max aperture, focusing distance (if available) etc...
* Some way to edit the Shooting lens information to support lenses which are not known to Lightroom, and if suggestion above won't be implemented, some way for the user to edit the lens id --> mapping table so that I can properly map my own 3rd party lenses.
* Facial recognition/tagging option. Some way to have Lightroom apply people tags after I have tagged representative images. Handle multiple people in a scene.
* Automatic (batch) export of images on schedule. I would like a way to configure Lightroom to automatically generate particular export configuration of all my images in a catalog (or some defined subset) such that new files or files that have been edited since last export are automatically exported on a schedule even if Lightroom is not running. Perhaps a Lightroom batch service. This is so that I can always have up to date processed versions of my images for use in my media center display. I would like to configure the Lightroom batch service to run weekly at say 2am every day, run a particular export function and export all new or modified images to a network share accessible by the media center. That way, I can always have access to cropped and edit images without manually doing exports all the time or having to remember which files I've edited and then export them. Also by doing this at off hours it would not slow down my computer while I'm using it.
* Better profiles for Sony DSLRs and support for their picture styles the same way that Canon and Nikon camera are supported.
* Teethering support for Sony DSLRs that have this feature
* Support for parametric plugins -- Plugins that do not require the image to be exported before running.
* Simple support for "picture frames" when exporting. Some way to apply a frame to an image as part of export with a dozen or so frames included and a way for 3rd parties to create more.
* A better way to safely share catalogs or pictures between multiple computers/users in a networked environment.

Did these come to you all at once, or have you been saving them up for a while?
Anyway, Adobe *should* be able to handle long lists of FR, but another option is to break them up and submit them for voting on the new FR/Idea site that will shortly replace this one: (It was really hot for a while, but has cooled down lately...)

They are already decoupled - you can update ACR independently for new camera support, however it's released at about the same frequency as Lightroom itself, so that doesn't help much. Perhaps this should be reworded: "Provide more timely ACR updates..."

I've been complaining about this for a long time - ACR cache is worthless for me too - if dev image not in RAM cache, takes same amount of time to render whether in ACR disk cache or not. Some say ACR cache speeds things up for them - perhaps you need to *believe*...
PS - After new motherboard upgrade, this went from 15 seconds to 3 seconds average.

Yep - Lightroom still has some leaks - gotta restart it from time to time...

+1 vote - arguably the most desired addition to the dev tools. I bet Lr4 will have this (no inside info though).

Frequently requested - some use pre-startup database query + plugin to make collection in the mean time (I dont).

RC Importer supports this - its an import plugin that bypasses the import dialog box - not for everyone...

Maybe the seeds of a good idea here, but may be worth some refinement/clarification - what would be searched? Would special syntax be supported? Personally, I mostly hate all 1-box search fields, because one never knows what's being searched and how, e.g. does it search the whole catalog?, is it case sensitive? On the other hand, I get the convenience factor... - I think if accompanied by help and/or the ability to pop up a dialog box for refinement or options, this might make a nice addition. Along these lines, I sometimes think a quick-smart-collection would be nice too - for when one wants to search 2 text fields, instead of just one. I keep a temporary smart collection just for this purpose, but still...
HopeSpringsEternal2008 wrote:

Change detecting export plugins have mostly solved this for me (and publishing for some folks), although adding export info (and metadata change info) to catalog for searching / sorting still sounds like a good idea to me...

Yes, better export management would be welcome. Export Manager might help you (if you have multiple export destinations to update), but its not a panacea... Many of us ultimately "consume" our photos outside Lightroom, having the consumption copies kept up to date more fluidly would be good. Using change detecting export plugins (along with export-manager) and/or publishing helps..
HopeSpringsEternal2008 wrote:

Yep - much room for plugins to get better integrated with Lightroom proper, to participate in image enhancement, as well as other things...

That would be nice. Although support for 3rd parties to add frames *upon export* already exists (export filter plugin + export post-process actions), as well as adding text overlays and such. But since its not built into Lightroom, one has to find them and configure them... And there is no good way to preview them in Lightroom... I think this would go nicely with the previous request - ability to feed image data to plugins for preview in Lightroom. Even if these updates were not built-into the dev module - i.e. weren't kept updated automatically whilst editing - just being able to click a 'see final' button or have it rolled into the build-previews function, so one could have post-process imaging plugins (with preview before export) - might be a nice compromise until true imaging plugins (that fit into dev pipeline) are supported.
The end - for now...

Lightroom Needs Convert Feature!

Lightroom needs a feature that lets you replace a filetype with another. For example convert a set of tiff files to jpeg, and after the conversion the tiffs would be gone (optional of course) and the jpegs would be there in thier place with filename, ratings, keywords all intact. I know you can export and bring back in and all that good stuff but then you have to go back tourhg and rate adn such. You need to be able to replace a sit of filetpye with another with a click of a button.
OK so you ask whats the point. Well lets say you have your 16 bit tiff files sitting around but you don't like the images much but not so much dislike that you want to delete them. But the tiffs are HUGE so instead you convert them to jepgs and the big tiffs are gone but you still have a nice small version of the file you couldn't completely let go of.
PS. if this is already possible please tell me how :)

OK so after i posted this i see the "lightroom feature request thread" Sorry my stupidness again :(

Lightroom 3.4 and Camera Raw 6.4

I like the interface. There were some subtle changes. I don't like the import dialogue menu. Find it more confusing that the previous dialogue box setup. Suggestions:
1) Add a 3rd level customization. I take a lot of images per month and sometimes on the same day and it would be create folders for those events instead of importing them with a custom name and drag n drop the files into a folder later.
2)Add option to modify date format, and customization.
3) Add video editing tab in future releases. Maybe in LR4 or 5. I use a Canon 5D Mark II now and I can do HD video. It would be nice if there was a tab for some basic video editing. Something similar to iMovie 3.
Needs Improvements:
1) The Sharpening tools. The algorithms are ok but LR can do better. It would be nice to have more control over what is being sharpened such as luminosity.
2) Vignetting has improved but we are still limited on some parameters.
Keep
1) I noticed the shadow when you scroll to the photos in the lower pane in the develop tab and library tab. That's cool.
I'll add more suggestions in the days to come.
Cheers,
Claudia Robinson

First off, you know there's a Lightroom Feature Request forum, right?
As far as the sharpening is concerned, LR is already only sharpening the luminance data not the color data. You already have the ability to add edge masking and you can subtract the strength of the sharpening in the Detail panel by using a minus sharpening Adjustment Bush. Pretty important to understand how to use a tool before going to far when asking for changes...

Multiple Imperative Feature Requests

I am a MN Photographer and have been using PS Lightroom through 2 betas and 2 release versions. I have been amazed at the improvements Adobe has added, but from my point of view, they need to add a few more features to make LR more robust and efficient!
I love the way LR makes terrific web galleries!
I am running LR from a Seagate Barracuda 300 External Hard Drive with Firewire connection. I am using a Mac Powerbook (1GHz Processor) with 60GB HD and 55% free, w/ 2GB DRAM, and an Apple Cinema Display. I can't complain about slow downs, but keep my permissions tuned once a week, both on the Mac PB and all EHDs.
LIGHTROOM FEATURE REQUESTS
1. From the Web module, there is only one option for adding Copyright Info to images in the Web Galleries, either ON or OFF. It would be a great addition to have this option variable by type size, type placement on images, and opacity. I last generated a web gallery and some of the images said, "2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," but many of the images said, "Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," without a year. A few images said, "Copyright 2007 Alex Bachnick All Rights Reserved," like it is supposed to! The LR application has been inconsistent so far in this area. By adding a line of copy that can be saved, and by varying the opacity and placement on images would be a huge step forward!
2. It is IMPERATIVE that you embed metadata into the Web gallery images. This is primarily for adding keywords and copyright information, but LR is inconsistent so far. Sometimes metadata is preserved, but it doesn't always get embedded when exporting images.
3. When I generated a Flash Web Gallery, some of the color was good, some of it was terrible. I have suggested before that you write into the action that takes the original image, reduces it in size, then convert to profile from Prophoto to sRGB. I suspect that you have a script in there "Save for Web". This script is denigrating the color when Convert to Profile would preserve the color. Admittedly Safari is the primary web browser I use, and it's color-centric, whereas most of the others IE, Netscape, and Mozilla, aren't.
4. When I use HTML for the web galleries, the color is spot on, but a young friend told me it would be better to hit one button to go through the images as in a rapidly advancing slide show, rather than hitting each image, and then wait for it to enlarge. This could be another marked improvement, if you made the output a slideshow from the Web Module.
5. I tried generating a slideshow from the Lightroom menu, and had about 200 images in a collection. The application went through the motions, but I tried opening the slideshow but it didn't work. I tried it in PDF format and it output a 135MB file that ADobe Acrobat couldn't open. It is still not working. I have also used a third party application Photo to Movie (www.LQGraphics.com). This is a $50 application that you can add music to and vary the zooms and dissolves and this works incredibly well!!!
6. One of my biggest problems so far is the sort mechanism. I have about 9500 images in my library, and about 5% of those were made from about 2004 and on. My images are sorted by "capture time," but the images shot back in CY 2004--2005 are mixed in somewhere way down in the pile. There are some bugs in the program for reading the capture time, and so far this is not working accurately!
7. From the Lightroom Library module, several times I have exported images for 3rd party needs and the application puts out varying results. In March I output some images for Communication Arts magazine. They specified file size and format, and it took me several times to export the images to their specifications. I recently exported some images for submission to a UK based stock photography agent. The images came from 5 different cameras~~Hasselblad w/ Imacon Digital Back, Kodak DCS-14, Canon 1ds MkII, and Canon D-20. There were 10 images that needed to be output as JPEGs (

1. LR uses what was written in the copyright field so it's your data entry that is inconsistent.
2. Are you 100% certain this is not working reliably under 1.1? It definitely wasn't working at all under 1.0 and Adobe responded to complaints. Since 1.1, I've taken large numbers of Web-generated pictures into iView and not found any cases where the metadata was missing. "Sometimes" is too vague. How exactly can you prove it? What programs prove it?
3. Not sure, but isn't this a problem because of Flash? Also the browser you use is not important - it's the browser that your visitor uses that you need to focus on.
4. Realistically, Flash is better for this. You can always get someone to write/modify HTML templates to do such a slideshow, but the built-in templates are already very complex and this suggestion would add another layer of browser incompatibility.
7. This isn't a feature request. Raise this in the main forum - and be specific (your post was also too long and got truncated). How can anyone help you if you say "varying results"? It's unlikely that any variation is random.

Lightroom 1.2 WHEN?

Ok we have all added our 2 cents for fine tuning Lightroom 1.1. Fall and heavy business is coming. When will 1.2 be released?

Hello all;
I am a MN Photographer and have been using PS Lightroom through 2 betas and 2 release versions. I have been amazed at the improvements Adobe has added, but from my point of view, they need to add a few more features to make LR the star that it will become!

In March I output some images for Communication Arts magazine. They specified file size and format, and it took me several times to export the images to their specifications. I recently exported some images for submission to a UK based stock photography agent. The images came from 5 different cameras~~Hasselblad w/ Imacon Digital Back, Kodak DCS-14, Canon 1ds MkII, and Canon D-20, and Canon S-3. There were 10 images that needed to be output as JPEGs (their specs), but again, the copyright info and keywords had to be added to the files in Photoshop afterwards. Half the images needed to be resized, because the images were supposed to be 48MB files! I spent an hour doing what LR should have but didn't!!! This application is supposed to be saving me time, but in this case, I spent more time in PS CS2 getting it right.
Finally, Adobe folks have worked really hard to get us working photographers an application that works across multiple platforms. Can we all work together to get these much needed improvements into the LR application? Please? Please? Please? Pretty please w/ sugar and honey!!!
I talked to a friend yesterday who submits work to various magazines and stock agencies and is using Photomechanic and IViewMedia Pro to add metadata, captions, and keywords. These 2 applications are doing what Lightroom should be able to do~~consistently adding copyright info to files as embedded metadata.
Lightroom has a ways to go, and I will be glad to get eventually a "one-stop-shopping" program that fulfills all my image output needs!
Thanks,

Lightroom Mobile works inside Creative Cloud?

I've always backed up my photos with a custom database to Google Drive so I could access any of them at a moment's notice from my iPad or iPhone on the go. I've done this to be able to submit photos to stock websites when special requests are made for a specific picture.
I've considered instead making Lightroom my primary database and backing up catalogs every year or so in the Creative Cloud. However, Adobe only offers 20GB. If that fills up will I need to move old catalogs to a different cloud?
Also, does the Lightroom feature that syncs to the iPad work inside this 20GB limit? Meaning I can only view up to 20GB of photos from my iPad at a time?
Thanks for clarification,
Tyler

Hi Tyler,
Most versions of Creative Cloud include Lightroom Mobile access. It uses its own storage separate from what is included with Creative Cloud. I think the storage amount is unlimited so long as you maintain your membership. Its storage is for images themselves not a LR catalog. This FAQ might help too: Adobe Lightroom mobile – FAQ

Request for Feature

Woudl it be possible to have a feature in the Web Module to allow the user to add buttons to the generated website e.g Home, Galleries etc and allow these to be configurable as in the url and style. This would better facilitate the integration of the web galleries into the users existing website.
Regards
Trevor.

Trevor, I saw that you re-posted in the Lightroom Feature Requests forum, and that's a good place for it.
I did want to say that the Web Module was really only intended to produce galleries for clients rather than complete websites. Adding full website functionality would be difficult considering the wide range of options that would have to be made available.
There are galleries available from The Turning Gate and LightroomGalleries.com that allow full website production from the Lightroom Web module.

Is there a Cornerfix solution built into Lightroom?

For those of you that use Cornerfix to reverse/eliminate corner vignetting and color shift in Leica M8/M9, and other mirrorless cameras using short register rangefinder lenses, is there a way to do this within Lightroom, using a Lightroom feature or a plug-in?

MadManChan2000 wrote:
Not yet.
I wonder if I interpret it right, if I read this as "it's being planned" or "under construction"?
Desperately needing something more streamlined that Cornerfix. Right now my solution is an export preset which outputs as DNG, stacks it with the original raw, then launches my quick&dirty assistant program which first runs Cornerfix where I need to do the dirty work by hand and after I quit it the file names get fixed by the assistant program - after that the metadata need to be restored in LR. Hardly fun

Does photoshop have a healing brush tool like lightroom v5 ?

Hi
i have photoshop cs6 , and i was watching a video about the new lightroom features
it was amazing how in this video lightroom v5 brush tool work
does cs6 have such feature ? or is included in cc only?
at minute 9:06 there is an amazing review about this tool
thanks

You really should think about a CC subscription Hudders. There is something very liberating about using Camera RAW as a filter in an opened image document, and you can do it on a Smart Object. The new features in each new version of PS have a habit of creeping up on you. You start out thinking , ‘yes this is nice, but is it really so very much better?’, and before you know it, you become utterly panic stricken at the very thought of not having those new features.
The new spot removal tool in ACR 8.# is like a Patch tool that automatically choses the best possible source pixels to fix a blemish, and I love it.

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Unfortunately, importing from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is harder than it should be but there is an efficient solution. The secret to creating a new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Catalog from an existing iPhoto image library is to download and install the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. This sounds completely bizarre, but Photoshop Lightroom lacks the ability to import directly from iPhoto and iPhoto lacks a merge with Lightroom feature. Although Lightroom cannot import images from your existing iPhoto library, Photoshop Elements 12 can!
Even the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12 has the ability to import from iPhoto and then Lightroom 5 can import from Elements. Photoshop Elements 12 is ironically the missing link for those looking to move their images from iPhoto into Lightroom.

Search/replace function for Lightroom?

I am trying to find out if there is a way of finding and replacing certain text in the metadata in a quick and easy way. I need to change something on all my photos in LR. Can anyone help me? Thanks a lot in advance.

Rob,
Thanks for response.
I understand that Lightroom has a SDK for plugins and this is a really good thing as it does allows others to tweak and enhance functionality without relying on Adobe. I have been a user of Lightroom since the very first user trials and think it is a great product. I have watched it develop over the last 5 or 6 years.
I do think it is more than just an image editor. Lightroom has always been promoted since day one as a new and better image database and workflow management tool. It is for this reason that question why Adobe has not closed some (I think) gaps in functionality consistent with Lightroom fullfilling its purpose as an Image library/Database management tool. It has certainly had the search capabilities included since day one of all metadata, consistent with a management tool.
For the work I have been doing lately, Search and replace would be useful as I have been cleaning up metadata in various libraries. Hence while I agree it is not used every day, it would be a very useful maintenance tool.
I thought I had posted this originally as a response to a similra request in the Lightroom Feature request forum, apparently not. I did try (today) to start a new feature request but I was blocked from starting new threads in that sub-forum. Hopefully someone else with access to that forum will pick up on this and transfer the request to the Feature Request forum.

Lightroom Catalog Maximum mumber of photos

There are unconfirmed and anecdotal reports that Lightroom begins to slow down after it reaches a certain number of photos or total file size. I am using XP Home on a PC and using LR 2.2. Any thoughts on what this "magic" number is, or if in fact, this concern is real or not?
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

I have a question about this issue. MacPro with a lot of memory, approximately 40K of images with an irdata file of approximately 20gig. Image files from latest Canon bodies are getting bigger and with the use of Lightroom features such as neutral gradient filter, adjustment brush, etc this file is slowing down.
What is the appropriate seize of the irdata file to keep performance up?

Does Lightroom only work when online?

Does Lightroom only work when I am online? Do I have to be online to process or work on files? If I cannot be online, eg, when in a remote area with no service, how do I process my photo's?

You can easily test this by cutting off all network access to your computer (turn off wi-fi or disconnect the network cable). You'll find that you can still get stuff done if there is no Internet. Especially if you are using the non-subscription version of Lightroom, which doesn't need to check in at all after it's first licensed.
If you do use Lightroom through a subscription to Creative Cloud, the annual plan has an offline mode limit of 99 days (over 3 months); the limit is 30 days offline for the monthly plan. And if you stop your subscription, you still have access to your images and some Lightroom features.

Can a Lightroom adjustment brush draw a straight line by clicking the start and stop points?

I agree it would be useful. It's something that's been asked for. The best thing is to keep requesting at the Lightroom feature request forum

Export images to a directory structure based on a collection tree?

A question:
Will lightroom have the capability to export images to a directory structure which mirrors a collections logical structure?
The reason I ask this is that when I create websites using third party tools (eg, Jalbum) I typically generate a flash or HTML based site with an menu structure for navigating the images.
So, the image interface is not simply a "flat-file" display as per the templates in Lightroom beta.
To do this, with previous image management tools (eg, iMatch) I create a hierarchy of images based on the categories (or collections) that the images are assigned to, export the images in a folder tree reflecting their categories (or collection), then use, say, Jalbum, to generate the website with the menu tree reflecting the folders/images.
This is extremely useful for more complicated image websites with categories and a large no of images.
If this function was built into Lightroom I guess it would be in the export function such that the "write to folder" box could take an argument {collection name} which would create a folder tree reflecting the collections logical tree which is being exported.
Apologies if this topic has been raised previously. But this function is extremely useful if you are using third party html tools or simply building websites by hand.

Alistair

I started simmilar thread in Lightroom Feature Requests few months ago, but can't find it anymore since new forum version...
What I can suggest as a new feature is export to directory structure from collections or second option from keywords. Probably more usable and easier to implement would be from collections.
What I need it to export many photos to different directories pretty often, and this would be great help since I could arrange them in collections and collection sets. Then select collection set and export it in a manner that collection set would be main export directory, and each collection within the set would be exported to its own folder within main collection set export folder.
This would be much appreciated feature in near future
Thank you for great product by the way
