Adobe Releases Lightroom Mobile for iPad
|
Adobe has released a mobile version of Lightroom for iPad that allows users to edit images and sync them to the desktop version of Lightroom. The app is free to download, but in order to use it you must be a subscriber to one of Adobe’s Creative Cloud plans. Also, the app is currently only available for iPads running iOS 7. Adobe has announced plans for an Android version of Lightroom Mobile, but set no date for its availability.
Basic features include
• Edit RAW images
• Edit images from iPad camera roll
• Sync mobile edits, metadata, and collection changes back to the Lightroom catalog on a Mac or Windows computer
• Automatically import images captured on an iPad and sync back to a Lightroom catalog on the desktop
• Work on images offline
• Sync photos between Lightroom 5 and Lightroom mobile; synced photos can also be viewed from any Web browser
