Learn more about the Quick Actions tool to quickly edit photos on the go.
The Quick Actions tool in Lightroom on mobile streamlines the editing process by offering quick, AI-powered suggestions for specific parts of a photo. 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 (iOS) and is currently available as Early Access in iPhone only.

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 Subtle, Strong, Circle, 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 straightens the frame and angle of the photo.
-
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.
A shimmer effect will now be applied to the detected Subject, Background, or Sky for better visibility.
-
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.
Note:Starting with Lightroom for mobile (iOS) version 10.3, you can select a person from a list of thumbnails of people and make adjustments to their appearance—tweaking 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.
Alert:Edits made in both All and on individual person retouching are combined.
-
Select Done to save the edits.
-
To auto-apply edits suggested by Lightroom, select Auto.
Tip:
You can use Actions and Auto together to edit a photo.
iOS devices compatible with Actions
Quick Actions is available on iOS devices with a RAM capacity of 4 GB or more, like iPhone XS/XS MAX and newer (excluding iPhone XR & SE2)
