Adobe Lightroom: Auto Stacking by Visual Similarity in Lightroom

Adobe LightroomTry it →Watch full video →Fstoppers ·

Demo summary

The user attempts to use Lightroom's auto-stacking feature to group images by visual similarity and capture time.

Step-by-step

  1. Navigate to the Stacking menu
  2. Select Auto Stack
  3. Choose between stacking by Capture Time or Visual Similarity
  4. Adjust the slider to set the time interval or similarity threshold
  5. Review the number of stacks generated in the summary text
  6. Click Stack to group the images

Options

  • Stack by Capture Time
  • Stack by Visual Similarity
  • Adjust similarity threshold from 'Less Similar' to 'More Similar'

Watch out for

  • Capture Time stacking may fail to read timestamps correctly, resulting in inaccurate or massive single stacks
  • Visual Similarity stacking can group hundreds of unrelated images into one stack even at middle settings

Tips

  • Use Capture Time for family shoots where you take bursts of photos followed by breaks to direct subjects
  • Use Visual Similarity if you frequently change focal lengths (zooming in/out) during a short burst of shooting
  • Match the filter aggressiveness to the specific needs of your photo shoot
  • Be prepared to manually fix stacks as the automated results may not be usable

Highlights

“I don't think this is usable... unfortunately, there's not an easy way”
