1. A simple keyboard shortcut for “Edit In>Open as Smart Object in Photoshop”.

2. The ability to reassign keyboard shortcuts just like in Photoshop.

e.g. rendering of the images are starting AFTER the import is complete
and even more worst is the fact, that the import of images from a
second card is starting AFTER all smart previews from the first card
images is finished!

Is LR a tool for professionals or what?

Hopefully Adobe will adress all the performance problems on osx
with Metal under El Capitan in fall!

For me LR CC Import – FAIL

I use these on almost every file.

I’ve been a user since Lightroom 1 and very quickly learned that the distinction between Library and Develop modules is artificial. By learning a small number of keystrokes you can fluidly move around within those artificial modules without ever clicking on them.

D takes you to Develop
G takes you to Library in grid mode
E takes you to Library in loupe view

Once you have mastered these you can start adding others like R that takes you to Develop and activates the crop tool.

I think what may have confused many is that when calling up shortcut help with Ctrl-/ the popup is titled Library Shortcuts or Develop Shortcuts depending on the current module and shows only shortcuts for that module. This hides the fact that the shortcuts work across the artificial module boundaries, though there may be some that don’t or invoke different actions depending on the current module.

Armed with this knowledge you too will never need to click on the Library or Develop modules again.

This idea really resonates with me. I have multiple machines in the same physical place (studio and office) and would love to be able to work on the same photo in two different places at different times.

Edit pins are very hard to find on some photos, specially on very high resolution monitors. A list of pins for each tool (Graduated Filter, Radial Filter, Adjustment Brush) would be very useful. Whenever we click on a item on the list, it would activate on the photo. In Photoshop we are not looking for every change on the photo, are we? That’s why we have lists of styles, effects, layers, etc…

Moreover, without the list, I find myself doing duplicated local adjustments when i return to photos, if necessary, a few weeks later, because I forgot which ones were already applied before.

As a workaround I save my .psb files to tiff format, and Lightroom can see those.

a few that I didn’t see:
1. have the histogram be able to show only the info for a cropped image or only the area selected by a brush
2. be able to compare 2 images in Develop (instead of having to go into Library)
3. under Quick collection, add a “add to existing collection” option
4. add HSL and individual colours to gradient and radial filters

A lot of these would be welcomed features! For me, personally I have always wanted .psb support in Lightroom. It’s photoshops large file format for really big files. I know, I know, I’m probably the only one who creates .psb files. Fact of the matter is, when I retouch, I really like to keep my layers, especially when building complex composites, or commercial automotive photography. I always use Lightroom, but when I start saving .psb files, lightroom doesn’t recognize them, so I have to use bridge in that case.
