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. 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.

  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.
    • 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. 

  6. To auto-apply edits suggested by Lightroom, select Auto

Tip:

You can use Actions and Auto together to edit a photo.
