Apply Actions in a few simple steps.

The Quick Actions tool in Lightroom on mobile streamlines the editing process by offering quick, AI-powered suggestions for specific parts of a photo. Simply open an image, select Actions, and let Lightroom analyze it to provide tailored enhancements for your photo on the go.

Note:

Quick Actions is named as Actions in Lightroom on mobile and is currently available as Early Access. Open Lightroom on mobile, select   > Early Access and turn on the Quick Actions toggle to access the feature.

  1. Open a photo in Lightroom on mobile and select Actions  .

  2. Lightroom analyzes and suggests one-tap edits using AI-powered features like:

    • Subject: Lightroom automatically detects the subject in the photo. 
    • Background: Lightroom automatically detects the background in the photo. You may select one of the Blur presets, such as SubtleStrongCircle, and more.
    • Sky: Lightroom automatically detects the sky in the photo.
    • Retouch: Lightroom automatically detects areas that can be retouched. Retouch is available only when a person is in the photo. 
  3. To edit the Subject and Background selection, adjust the following:

    • Preset: Select from the given set of presets to edit your photo in just one tap. 
    • Exposure: Adjust the exposure of the photo using the slider.
    • Saturation: Adjust the saturation of the photo using the slider.
    • Dehaze: Adjust the haze in the sky using the slider. This is available only with Sky
  4. To edit a person's features using Retouch, use the slider to edit the Hair, Skin, Clothes, and more. The options will vary depending on the photo. 

  5. Select   to save the edits.
