Locking mechanism for Lightboxes in Photo Center

We've run into issues lately where a user will have a Lightbox open and another user will add photos to it.

The Lightbox allows the second user to open it and add photos. The problem? The photos don't actually get added to the Lightbox, despite appearing to be. So the second user later will discover that none of the photos added are actually there.

Same thing for color-coding photos in a Lightbox. Second user can do so but it doesn't seem to stick.

Would it be possible to add a locking mechanism to Lightboxes, similar to stories in Composer? There, if a user has a story open and a second user attempts to open it, there is a warning stating the story is locked by the first user. The second user needs to request the first user exit the story before making changes to it.

It would be very helpful to have a similar function in Lightbox so users are not working over each other, to no effect.
