Leave a Review Lightroom Photo & Video Editor
In app camera needs serious improvement
I love the app for the editing purposes, no issues there, but the camera in app is extremely frustrating. I have an iPhone X and I like that LR offers a camera for shooting raw and is my go to camera. However, the exposure is way off most of the time. It does not have issues when shooting JPG, but when shooting raw it totally overexposes, And I’m only using it for the raw capabilities. And I mean by a lot, blowing out photos entirely. It looks fine on the screen during the preview but the result is unusable. I frequently have to take the exposure compensation down to around -2.7 to get a useable result. And there is no way for me to know based on the preview if it will be correct or not. It also shows a snapshot of the photo I took immediately after the shutter with the expected result of what I think I took, only to find the file is completely overexposed in the library and often with some wild color issues even after I’ve used a custom white balance and grey card. Please fix.Show lessryan c thompson
Latest update continually crashes!
Wow! I’m not sure how Adobe can take such a great app and ruin it with an update, but somehow they’ve managed it! Maybe they’re trying to match it with the crashiness of Premiere Pro!?? 😂
This app used to work great for colour grading photos with particularly useful tools like the ability to control the hue, saturation and lightness of individual colours. However with the latest update even doing something as simple as cropping a JPEG will cause a crash. I don’t come across that many apps that actually crash these days on iOS, most seem pretty stable so it’s surprising a company the size of Adobe with all of their resources can take a perfectly good, well-functioning app, add pretty much no new features but at the same time make it continually crash instead. Well done Adobe, pat yourselves on the back! 😂Show lessdavecw

I’m sorry you are having trouble but we need more information. Please visit our support forum at: feedback.photoshop.com Sign in with your Adobe ID then click “New Post” and tell us the specific steps to recreate your issue. Please include: 1. Brand and model of device you are using 2. Operating system and version 3. Screenshots of your issue or any error messages Cheers /rsWhat more could you want?
The only Adobe product I use. Lightroom combined with 1tb or more of cloud storage is so good. Having access to my whole photo library dating back to 2000 on all my devices is just amazing. And with the editing capabilities LR has to offer, I could for example be sitting on bus editing a photo I took back in 2006 on my phone.
Most impressive of all is the search capability. I remember on one occasion when my son was 3, I was telling him about the papaya tree we used to have in the back yard. A quick search for ‘papaya tree’ in Lightroom, and within a few seconds all the photos I took of that tree years earlier were there for my son to see. No having to worry about tagging photos or scrolling through thousands of photos to find what you’re after.
I have just one major complaint. I have all my photos segmented into months. Now if I open a month’s worth 400 photos and scroll down through them, then minimise that month, instead of going back to that same month as it should, the scroll position will be on whatever month is the same distance down the page as the 400 photos I had open. For example, if open the month of January 2020 where I have 506 photos and scroll to the bottom of all 506. When I minimise those photos the scroll position will then be at December 2017. So I either have to scroll back to the top of that month’s photos before I minimise, or scroll all the way back there anyway. It’s very annoying! Please fix this Adobe.Show lessAvene72
Great but recent issue with app makes it pointless to use.
It’s been my favorite editing app for so long but recently it won’t let me choose images from my camera roll, even after I shut down my phone. When I tap choose from camera roll it automatically always chooses the most recent photo in my camera roll. I highly recommend this app but with this issue in the app there’s no point to using it anymore.Show lessStar30303
Make believe science
Just like Photoshop on my computers Adobe has its own peculiar ways of doing the most simple tasks. After using Photoshop for 20 years you’d expect to have little difficulty with the Lightroom App. When you use most programs - even an OS - there is no so-called learning curve. But with Adobe you are bound to be surprised when you realize how difficult they make it to do the very simplest of things. Adobe makes things difficult to show you how fancy or scientific it is. I just opened Lightroom and am finding there is no way to get pictures out of it once Adobe captures them. I can delete an album of Adobe’s choice but not one stinking picture of my choice. It doesn’t even have to be deleted just removed from Lightroom. There are so many apps that do the same things easier and better it’s hard to justify Lightroom. On my computers I’ve always had Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. Since Photoshop costs ten times more you’d expect it to be the best choice. Not unless you prefer doing everything the hard way. Paint Shop Pro is not perfect but I can do everything Photoshop does in a fraction of the time. I’m not even sure why Lightroom exists. And when it comes to iPhone there are so very many apps that are easier and give better results. The Bottom Line is avoid anything Adobe like the plague.Show lessExcellent714

Hi, I just noticed your review and wanted to say I'm sorry the trash function is not more obvious. There are two ways to delete an image. In Grid view you can "long press" on a thumbnail then choose "Delete" in the lower right. You can also select more than one image for deletion. In a single image view you press the 3 dot menu in the upper right> Choose "Organize"> Choose "Delete". Admittedly this could be simpler but I hope this helps. If you like, you can post this as a feature request (Idea) on our support forum at feedback.adobe.com. Thanks for taking the time to write a review. /rsUpgraded to premium and my premium features are not working.
I upgraded to premium after my free trial and the features I should be getting are not working.nell2101

It won't let me import the photos, I paid to have a premium and I can't even use the application.
In response to this comment they sent me an email that does not even exist, terrible service.anamarialasso

I lost everything with the recent update
With the recent update, my entire library got wiped. Presets I manually created, spent hours on. I had about 70 presets total. I use this app almost exclusively to showcase my work on Instagram, and having this happen was detrimental. The sad part was there was NOTHING - no apology - NOTHING from the developers. I had to go on an online forum to find hundreds of other people in the same predicament equally upset by this apps lack of care for its creators.Show lessAlenka.ps
