On behalf of everyone on the Lightroom team, I am thrilled to announce the immediate availability of Lightroom mobile, an extension of your photography workflow designed specifically for a mobile experience. Beginning today, you can get Lightroom mobile from the iOS app store and seamlessly connect your desktop workflow to your tablet (you will need the Lightroom 5.4 update for Mac or Windows).
With the explosion of smart phone and tablet adoption, and the addition of new devices and platforms every day, we recognize that your workflows are increasingly fragmented. Smart phones have become a very popular camera choice when a DSLR is not handy, and the experience of relaxing on a couch with an iPad is much more comfortable than hunching over a desktop computer. We developed Lightroom mobile to leverage the convenience, mobility, and connected nature of smartphones and tablets for your photography workflow. Take a look at this short video explaining the concept:
In Lightroom mobile you can:
- Edit and organize images anywhere, anytime on your iPad*
- Enhance everything from smartphone photos to raw images from DLSRs using powerful and familiar tools
- Automatically sync all of your mobile edits with Lightroom 5 on your desktop
- Easily share your photos
Our team is looking forward to hearing your feedback on how you use Lightroom mobile to unlock your photography from the traditional desktop. This is just our first step; as we’ve done with all previous Lightroom releases, we’re looking to our customers to help shape the future.
You can try Lightroom mobile free for 30 days or purchase it by subscribing to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month.
