Lightroom - Feature Requests

Has anyone found a work-around to share the same files and library on multiple computers? I think this would be really nice. Obviously your photos can exist anywhere but since your library can't reside on a share, you're kind of SOL as far as sharing your photo collection between two PCs or more.

does the beta 3 not support DNG files currently? I am having issues bring them up. I get grey boxes with that '?' up top and it wont synchronize the folders

DNG displays fine on my beta 3. Are you sure that the file hasn't been moved or deleted since you did the original import.

You do know you are posting to a 2 year old thread.

I would like the ability to use the Leveling rubber band in a vertical axis...

What the Sam Hill are you talking about?

Who Me?

I mean I'd like to be able to stretch the leveling rubber band along a vertical line and have it square up rather than always having to find a horizontal line which isn't always present...

Ah, OK...Jay, isn't it a bit late for you to be makin' such esoteric suggestions, bud?

But I see what you're talking about in an esoteric sense as far as having a level line vertical, not just horizontal, right? In terms, that is, of having a line that you could just pull around and have as it were the whole picture follow you around to create, that is, a sense of "verticality" as opposed to, as it were, "horizontally" -- know what I mean?

Picture a perspectived corner of a building with two walls converging to make a corner...

I want the corner vertical relative to the crop grid. I can hunt and peck .25 degrees at a time but I'd rather run the rubber band along the corner line and have it snap plumb.

Don't really see that as esoteric. I see it as practical. In a more real-world case, it would be handy to just run it up the vertical stab and know the wings are level...!

Whoa, the Angle "rubber band" doesn't work for you vertically? It certainly does for me.

Since this is a Wish List, I'll go a step further and wish for a Warp tool to correct perspective distortion (key-stoning).

Really? I'll have to revisit it. The few times I've tried it, it turned the image so that wherever I drew it, that plane was horizontal.

I dug up an old image with a wonky vertical to do a before and after:

Ok Then...

I retract my request. Well Done Adobe!

I would like the ability to specify a zoom level in loupe view, rather than just having the several options that are now to choose from. For example, if I could view my 7D files at 75%, they would show about the same percentage of the frame as my 40D files at 100% (good for judging the practical differences in noise/detail). As it is, I have to view them at 100% (not fair to the 7D) or 50% (not fair to the 40D).

How does the 1:4 or 1:3 option work for you? Or are you not aware of the ability to pick secondary options by opening the list with the 1:2 option?

I just want the catalog backup to be at the end of a session and I want the option of having it completely automatic so that when I quit the program it doesn't ask me if I want to backup or skip or postpone, it just does it while it closes.

Along with that I want the option to discard old backups automatically so they don't pile up like a logjam in the backup folder.
