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. Just open an image, select Actions, and let Lightroom analyse it to provide tailored enhancements for your photo on the go.

Note:

Quick Actions is named Actions in Lightroom for mobile.

  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. 
    • Fix angle: Lightroom automatically corrects the perspective of a photo.
    • Scene: Lightroom automatically detects what’s in the whole scene in the photo, including people, background, mountains, water, and more. 
  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. You can select a person from a list of thumbnails of people and make adjustments to their appearance, like eyes, skin, hair, or clothing. Also, when you select the thumbnail, the image zooms in to focus on the person, making it easier to apply Retouch.

  5. To edit a photo using Scene, use the slider to enhance individual areas of the image from Subject, Background, Sky, Architecture, Mountains, Water, Natural Ground, and Artificial Ground. You can also adjust the Scene Enhancement Preset intensity with the Amount slider.

    Different slider such as Subject, Background, Sky are given for Scene enhancement feature where Subject slider is highlighted over a man jumping in ocean image.
    Drag the slider to adjust and enhance your photo.

  6. Select Done  ..

Tip:
  • You can use Actions and Auto together to edit a photo. 
  • To auto-apply edits suggested by Lightroom, select Auto
