Blocking or unblocking profiles in Lightroom Community

Last Updated: November 29, 2023

To avoid unwanted interactions in Lightroom Community, you can block profiles by following the steps listed below. Please understand that when someone is blocked in Lightroom Community you’re also blocking their profile across some Adobe products with community features, such as Behance.

What happens when you block a profile?

  • The blocked profile owner can no longer view your profile when signed in with their Adobe ID.
  • You can no longer view the blocked profile when signed in with your Adobe ID.
  • The blocked profile owner can no longer follow you (and vice versa).
  • The blocked profile’s content will no longer appear in your feed, and your content will no longer appears in theirs.
  • When a profile is blocked, the profile owner is not notified.

How to block someone

  • Go to the profile you’d like to block within Lightroom Community.
  • Select the ellipsis (…) in the top right corner of their profile.
  • Select “Block User”.

You can also report the profile for abuse by checking the “Also report” checkbox.

How to unblock people

  • Navigate to your Lightroom profile by selecting your avatar in the top right corner via the Community tab.
  • On your profile, select the “Profile Edit” icon at the top right corner and select “Blocked Users”.
  • Within your blocked user list, tap “Unblock” next to the profile you want to unblock.
  • When you block someone you’re following, you effectively “unfollow” them. If you choose to unblock a profile and want to follow them again, you must go to their profile and chose to “Follow” them.

If for some reason you decide to block a profile again, you will have to wait at least 24-hours from when you unblocked that profile to re-block them.
