Professional photographers and video editors need professional color grading scopes (waveform, vectorscope, skin tone line) in Lightroom for accurate color correction, but Adobe has ignored this request for 14 years despite strong user demand.
Adobe Lightroom lacks professional video/color grading tools like scopes that competing software (Davinci Resolve) offers, forcing users to switch between applications or accept inferior color accuracy.
