    My on going LR4 wish list

    Shawn T. Moore Community Member

      At my present job I use Lightroom the vast majority of the day.
      My catalog has 463525 photos since creating a new cat March 1 of 08.
      I have a great need to get my images out fast. Within minutes of shooting a job or find a photo fast.  So I have kept a list of things I personally would like to see added to lightroom and I update it each time I think of something new. So here we go!
      Lightroom 4 Suggestions



      1) Ability to move an Adjustment Brushes selection to the next photo. With a Keyboard shortcut to open selection in next frame then you could move the selection.

      2) Make the LR catalog Networkable Multi users or at least have the ability to put the catalog on a network (then you could have two people work on the catalog separately while not at the same but another user could).

      3) Overlay or watermark with the file name on the image. Good for Contact sheets with the name on the image the contact images could be bigger and fill out the whole page with images).

      4) Make subfolders of presets The ability to put a folder in a folder in the presets list develop module

      5) Ability to  download 2 card readers as  the same time.

      6) Why doesn't  a watch folder watch the same folder. Why does it have to move the file to a new folder.

      7)   “G Blur brush “ How about a Gaussian Blur brush in the adjustments Brushes.
      Everyones favourite Blur in Photoshop in  Lightroom too.

      8) With the adjustment Brush in color Sample color would be Great.
      This way you could Darken or Light a area in in you Photo. As it stand you Guess the color .

      9). Make the folders in the Library Mode available in different sizes. When creating collections it would be easier to to move photo from there folder to a collection if the folder were bigger.

      10) When you control click to “Go to Folder in Library” the side panel should scroll to the folder it is trying to show.

      11) Contact sheets and prints Lr should  render  & print each contact then repeat. This way you don’t have to select each Contact sheets individually. to get the printer going.


      12) Show a preview of what is effected in the develop preset.  When you right click on a preset you can not see what is effected in the preset only you last clicked.

      13) I wish Adobe would put the flag value in XMP then News Wire could read the flag.  Like photo mechanic .

      14) If you copy a White Balance shot as “As Shot” it will copy “As Shot” not the actual White Balance. you can change the the white balance to custom and not move the white Balance then it will copy the Actual white Balance. But this is just one more step slowing me down by using the mouse. The copy and Paste feature copy's the preset not the actual White balace.

      15)  Export ot Smart Objects photoshop file

      16)  Print to CMYK printer. Like My Zerox printer

       

      17)  Lr Needs to speed up there why does LR take so long to render images as in comparence to other Digital asset management programs (like photo mechanic).

      18) “Crop preset”: particularly usefully when cropping fisheye lenses

      19) Add Fill light  and Noise control to Adjustment Brushes (good for lighting up shadows is that not what Adjustment Brushes  are for)

          7)  -51 to -100 on the shapen tool in local adjustments is like lens blur, and you can stack pins for a more powerful effect if needed.

           

          8)  Click in the color picker and drag onto the image to get the color picker.

           

          12)  Just pass the mouse over the preset and the Navigator will change to preview that preset.

           

          13)  There's a problem with that.  Flags are local.  If you have the same picture in two collections, and the flag is picked in one and rejected in the other, which would you write out?

           

          Did you know that you can suggest these or vote for the existing ones in the feedback forum?

            Still not the same a a Gblur

             

            8)  Click in the color picker and drag onto the image to get the color picker.

            Thanks I have to check this one out

             

            12)  Just pass the mouse over the preset and the Navigator will change to preview that preset.

            I meen that by seeing what is check or saved in the preset.

             

            13)  There's a problem with that.  Flags are local.  If you have the same picture in two collections, and the flag is picked in one and rejected in the other, which would you write out?       So I am not alone with that most other DAM programs are consistent with there flags

              i need to be able to make a layer for my worn textures. today i export pictures with the texture as a watermask. but i need to make the layer as overlay, as in photoshop. and also so that i could have different watermark on each image.

                Lr doesn't implement a Gaussian blur because it's not particularly photographic.
