Remixes
What is a Remix?
Members of the in-app Lightroom community can allow their edited photos to be Remixed. Remixing allows anyone within the community to edit the original version of the shared image, which creates Remixes that others can view and like. Remixes foster a collaborative community where the only limitation is one's imagination.
How do I submit a Remixable?
Select the edited photo within your library to submit to the Lightroom Community and navigate to Share. Within the Share menu, select Share to Community. Fill out the details of your Remixable, select the Allow Remixing toggle option, and select Share.
Can I turn off Remix after I've shared an edited photo to the Community?
Yes. Navigate to the desired edit within your Community user profile, select the three-dot icon, and select Update Info. You can deselect Allow Remixing here and select Update. Note that this will not remove previously created Remixes but will only prevent the creation of new Remixes.
Can I delete my Remixable after I've shared it to Community?
Yes. On your Community user profile, select Remixes, select the three-dot icon, and select Remove. This option will remove your Remix from the Community.
Who can view my submissions?
Unless you block a specific user, anyone within the Lightroom community can view your submissions. Your submissions can also be considered outside of the community via a public URL.
Can I block others from Remixing my edit?
Yes. Navigate to the author profile you want to block, select the three-dot icon, and then select Block.
Can I remove specific Remixes of my work that I did not author?
Only the author of a Remix can directly remove that specific Remix. However, you, as the original author of the Remixable, can either:
- Remove the original edit, which will remove all Remixes.
- Block the Remix author, which will remove the author's Remix and all interactions between you and the author.
Why can't I Remix all edited photos in the Community?
An edited photo is only Remixable if the original author has enabled Allow Remix when sharing it.
EDU accounts
The remix feature does not work with K-12 licenses and will show a message stating, "This education account does not have the permissions required to use this feature."
Recommended Presets
What are Recommended Presets?
The Discover section in Lightroom contains thousands of freely downloadable edit presets that you can use with your own photos. But finding just the right one can be a challenge. The Recommended Presets feature uses artificial intelligence to search through the thousands of presets that are available in the Discover section to find a selection that will work well with your particular photo.
How does it work?
Lightroom analyzes the colors, exposure, and content of your photo and then finds other, similar photos in the Discover section, and suggests edits from those photos, with the idea that if certain edit settings worked well for a similar photo, then they might work well for your photo too.
Do I have to pay for these presets?
The presets themselves, which come from the Discover section, are freely available to everyone, including customers who are using the free version of the Lightroom app on mobile. But the Recommended Presets feature, which uses artificial intelligence to automatically search through the thousands of free presets to find just the right ones for your particular photo, is only available for paying Lightroom subscribers on both desktop and mobile (iOS and Android).
What if I don’t want my photos and edits used for this feature?
When you share a photo to the Lightroom Discover section, deselect Enable 'Save as Preset' under the Permissions options. Then, your photo and your edits will not be used for the Recommended Presets feature.
