Adobe Lightroom for iPad for Positive User Reviews
✓ GreatIts amazing…. thats all I can say, it does need premium for somethings. i dont have it but personally i need it. i use what i have and thats what you should.Version: 7.0.1
✓ IPad Pro supportLoving the full screen and updated support features, thank you..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Good SolutionBest way to sort my photos.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Take the leap from Lightroom Classic!Lightroom on the iPad and the iPhone are incredible. Whilst CC has been a new experience coming from Lightroom Classic, the freedom afforded by having this power on the go makes this switch well worth it. Recently on a two week trip, I managed all my photos with just an iPhone XS and the SD card reader. Each day I knew my photos were backed by and I could be filtering my shots whenever I had a free moment on the subway. If you are considering taking the leap from Classic, I would encourage you. The freedom l the go, and the simplicity of the cloud managing all your photos is transformative to my photography process. Two things I would like to see change which would take this review to 5 stars. 1. USB-C support for the iPad Pro. The current process of importing to photos and into lightroom is completely pointless for me, and I can’t see why it would be helpful. 2. More presets and filters. For on the go management, quick access to go reliable filters and presets is important. The current presets are a good start, but I would love to see more. Sounds like a great opportunity for Adobe to collab with some well known photographers and have them develop presets for Lightroom CC..Version: 4.0.0
✓ Easy to use yet powerfulFairly complete editing tools for a free app. Love this app.Version: 6.0.1
✓ Need one-time purchase optionI just need to unlock raw edit features. It’s not reasonable to subscribe a premium member, which is the only choice I can do. Could you please offer an one-time option to unlock raw edit, healing and selective adjustment together or respectively? Not everyone need subscriptions..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Tons of control on your pictures!I like to take pictures in RAW on my phone and this app helps me edit those amazingly. If you just try to edit the RAW pictures with your native camera settings, you will get some distortion/discoloration that doesn’t look good at all! In my opinion, this is good for newbies like me and veterans. The app is very user-friendly and the tutorials are informative. The annual price for this application is well worth the money and actually is great value. Overall, this application makes me love my iPad a lot more and makes me want to go and take more photos. Editing made fun!.Version: 7.5.2
✓ This is a jokeJust subscribed to creative cloud photography and now Adobe what me to pay more to use this app properly. Sorry but this will not happen, and will not renew the subscription. Apple I believe you should ban this app from the store. After finding out that I was logged in with the wrong login this app is now working at no extra cost. Apologies to Adobe..Version: 3.1.1
✓ Nearly thereGood update this time. Culling images is super easy and editing on iPad Pro is now well worth doing. It's much better not to have to carry a laptop everywhere. Not sure about controls in the sidebar - I quite liked them at the bottom of the screen so there was more space for the image. The addition of brushes, global sharpening and noise reduction are very welcome. I just wish there was a spot removal tool within the app. It's still frustrating to have to use another app or open the image on a desktop or laptop in order to get the job done..Version: 2.8.2
✓ LightroomUse it on my Mac didn’t think it would be as good on a tablet. Well done.Version: 5.0.0
✓ Lr for iPad - issue with apparent reduced file sizeFile size appears significantly reduced after editing and saving. Have been contacted by support who are looking into why I am experiencing this. Great service in terms of support. Sincerely hoping issue can be resolved, as I really enjoy using the app..Version: 2.7.4
✓ It’s taken a while but……with the latest “masking” update this has finally starting being the mobile editing suite and library that I wanted. Certainly worth my money every month. I would like to see object removal tools that are as good as those that Touch Retouch has included at some point, that’s probably the biggest miss for me. The clone / healing tool are not great in comparison..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Amazing app but pain if coming from MacI use Lightroom on the Mac for a long time. One of the issues I have is that this doesn’t use the Mac shortcuts even though the layout on the Magic Keyboard is very much like a Mac’s I hate that I have to relearn the shortcuts for the same app on iPad there is no reason for this..Version: 7.0.1
✓ A thought for leftiesI recently came back to LR mostly because of the iPad version. Not to upload raw images (network connections make it hardly usable for me) but to run through some quick edits using smart previews. The thing that bugs me the most though is not being able to move the tools to the left-hand side! I am a lefty and having controls on the right makes using the pencil painful: you have your hand in front of the screen while making adjustments! That’s a shame because the way local adjustments works on the iPad version is actually better than on CC: you get a preview before painting. All-in-all, not a deal breaker but something to consider in future versions :).Version: 5.3.1
✓ Photo culling in RAW pleaseCan we please have the ability to cull photos in RAW format? Thank you..Version: 8.1.1
✓ AstoundingBest app ever! As a professional, I now have barely any reason to take my laptop travelling anymore. And I am staying up to date on social media with excellent high quality images!!.Version: 2.4.1
✓ A great addition to my workflowThis app is a great addition to my photography workflow. After a slight learning curve it is often easier to make basic adjustments to photos on the iPad after they have synced than on the full desktop version. There are only two things that could use improvement: Firstly, being able to add tags to images which would then sync with Lightroom desktop would be really useful for me. Secondly, the fact that it doesn't seem to continue syncing when the iPad goes to sleep / is locked is extremely annoying, especially when trying to sync 50 RAW images back to the desktop version remotely. Keep up the amazing work Adobe!.Version: 2.8.2
✓ Missing fundamental featuresNo smart albums, no quick access to ratings (you have to search each rating, which is more steps), no support for custom watermarks like PNG signatures (instead, you get a super generic font with your name and a copyright symbol), and just general library management that is available through Lightroom classic. As a professional, having my library easily sorted by smart folders was one of the most valuable tools to quickly showing clients. Please add these features... Update: there’s also no option to bring into Photoshop to edit images like on a computer. You have to export, bring into Photoshop, make your edits, and then export, then bring back in to Lightroom again. So many extra steps, and the “Photoshop” apps it allows you to edit in are hardly acceptable replacements..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Not nearly enoughI’ve tried for the past month working on photo development purely on iPad Pro and I have found it increasingly frustrating. Many features available on the desktop version are not on the mobile app. While I realise this is for mobile devices, the inconvenience is not worth it. If all you are doing is developing to upload to Instagram for likes then this may we’ll be for you, but if your serious about photography stick with a good laptop/desktop, and use Lightroom classic instead..Version: 5.2.0
✓ Love the app but could use color calibrationI like being able to be away from my desktop as much as possible being a creative who avoids that kind of grind. This is why I welcomed the addition of Lightroom and now Photoshop for iPad Pro. One thing missing: Color calibration. I know many other users only do “simple edits” on iPads only to return to the big computer for final touch up, but that seem silly. My wish this whole time that iPads have been out has been to make my workflow more organic feeling like drawing or something. Sure windows tablets may work but I don’t like their stylus feel compared to iPad. Is it that adobe doesn’t want to pay xrite or whoever for licensing the profiles? I wish Apple would do it system wide, but not holding my breath. Some of us still print adobe, so pretty please.....Version: 5.2.4
✓ I love thats its free for people who want simple edits!!I loved it so much i ended up buying the premium for more features ♡.Version: 8.3.2
✓ A powerful and agile appI subscribe to Adobe’s Photoshop/ Lightroom apps. No question, it’s pricey but after using both for many, many years then not using it for a few years for various reasons, I’m back. I’m also blown away by the power and convenience of Lightroom CC. I used the term agile in the title of my review. By that I’m referring to the ease of use and flexibility of the app. Moving, sharing, organizing and editing photos is a breeze. It’s also very easy to learn and it works beautifully on an iPad whether you use a keyboard or the touch screen. My subscription includes ample cloud storage that handles synching with minimal effort on my part. I haven’t used Photoshop as much but my early experience has been positive. It’s a winner..Version: 7.5.2
✓ One of the BestI’ve resisted buying into the subscription based structure of Adobe for a few years trying alternatives like Corel Paintshop Pro which has come a long way and Affinity Photo which is good, but none really compare to Adobe products. I’ve finally caved in and bought an Adobe subscription and it was a good decision. Lightroom CC for the iPad is a great lightweight photo editing app complimenting the more powerful desktop app. Having Adobe cloud storage makes editing on the go a breeze. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on the upcoming Photoshop app for the iPad Pro for some more serious editing on the go. I’ve given it 4 out of 5 stars because of the limitation due to the iOS file system not Adobe, though Adobe is trying to overcome that with its latest update..Version: 4.1.1
✓ Good but not the full version yet sadlyGood to see the proper version slowly being set up for the iPad but it’s still got a way to go to stop the need to take my MacBook Pro my quick road trips for editing etc. Not quite as fast as my MacBook Pro 13 on and iPad Pro 11 - still some freezing occasionally and still missing being able to create duplicates and adding location data so far that I’ve come across. Other then that it works well and I can’t wait for it to come across completely..Version: 5.1.0
✓ A credible appI’ve been using this app for a while, and Adobe has been actively developing it at a quick pace. In fact the changes come fast enough it’s sometimes hard to keep up, but the app continues to be stable and useable. It allows me to sort through my photos and perform meaningful edits on them though there are things missing that the desktop app can do. Still, it handles nearly all of my needs. One of the weak spots is handling metadata like keywords. There’s some support for captions but none for maps nor labels and titles. One peculiar limitation that I see no reason for is that the app only lets you crop so small—there’s a minimum size. I can crop tighter on the desktop. Not sure why this limit exists, but I have to recrop some photos on the desktop..Version: 3.1.0
✓ Quality editing but lacks organizationI am impressed by the detail and control over highlights and shadows. Sharpening is to notch. However the simplest of organizational tasks are missing. I need to be able to tag batches of photos. It's plain silly to not have this functionality in a pro app design to organize and edit photos. A smaller task would be to make user presets available to Siri Shortcuts. I shoot B&W film almost exclusively. I have a shortcut on my iPad that will import to LR, any photo that I put into a specific folder in Apple Photos and then delete it from photos. During that process, I can apply any LR built in preset. However there is no INVERT preset. So I made one using curves and saved it as a user preset. Siri Shortcuts cannot see that. I have to load photos from my SD card to photos app, batch invert them in Pixelmater photo, then import to LR. For an app with monthly subscription, it is still lecking some basic functionality..Version: 5.2.4
✓ AmazingPlease never stop improving Lightroom for iPad Pro. It has become such an amazing tool that I pretty much don’t need my laptop anymore. Keep adding features and perfection the ones that exist already, you’re doing an amazing job..Version: 6.0.0
✓ Needs trash iconsI’ve been using this app for years and I absolutely love it for on the go projects. The only issue I have with it is when importing photos directly from the sd or camera roll, it’s to many steps just to delete one photo. Having to click on the 3 dots, then click on organize and finally delete photo just for another prompt asking how you’d like to remove it is just way too time consuming for someone who is uploading several photos at once. A simple trash icon added to the top of the app would be idea for for everyone. Eliminate some steps it takes to remove the photos so we don’t have to do 3 steps for every photo we want to remove from the albums..Version: 6.3.0
✓ I prefer working in a touch uiLove this app . I use it as my primary photo editor as I prefer using touch than the desktop interface. As such I want more features! The recent new set is great but I would love to see user definable presets included. I think the brush selection tool could use more refinement too it's very basic as is..Version: 2.8.2
✓ It’s missing photo mergePlease consider adding photo merge and panorama merge to the iPad version of the app at least. iPad Pro is more than capable to have this feature and this will increase on the go work flow greatly. Regards Ali.Version: 5.2.2
✓ Tether time?When oh when can we tether from camera to iPad my mates? You’re losing me!.Version: 8.5
✓ Time to make it perfectSo yes I am one of those who works now on the iPad Pro and I think it’s time to create a real app with full capabilities. I wish I could delete pictures from my catalog and my iPad storage at the same time. After a shooting I usually have over 1000 pictures but then when I finish editing them I only want to keep about 50 so I wish it wouldn’t take so much space on my iPad Pro storage. Also I think we need more options in settings to choose different sizes and resolutions when we are exporting photos. My workflow has improved like crazy since I am working only on my iPad Pro but I need some of these things to have the perfect experience that I think will have in the future. Congratulations on a great product anyways. I hope you are working on it already..Version: 4.2.0
✓ GoodGood.Version: 2.8.2
✓ LightroomI love using Lightroom. It's really easy and so many things to do.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Great, until “done” stopped being responsiveGreat tool to manage ten of thousand of images. Somehow the latest update makes the “done” and “cancel” buttons unresponsive and you need to try for about 20 seconds before they work. Frustrating to say the least..Version: 9.0
✓ Great app, could use a few features.This app is great. I love working with it and editing photos. It has all the features that you may need except a few. I would defiantly recommend this to someone. The user interface is simple enough to use, and if you don’t get it, then there is a helpful guide. I would love to see a few improvements however. It would be great to see some background blur capabilities for non pro users. I came to this app from Adobe Photoshop Express, on the iPhone. I liked it because you could add any amount of background, or foreground blur you wanted. But I switched to Lightroom as you need to pay for pro features to get the image in good quality. Here In Lightroom, you don’t need pro to get good image quality. But that background blur would be great. I don’t know if it is already a pro feature, but if it is, could you make it a non pro feature? I would pay for it if it wasn’t a subscription. But other than that, Great app, would probably recommend it..Version: 6.2.2
✓ Restored my faith in iPhone photographyI had long given up interest in using my iPhone for photos. While I enjoy VSCO cam and Snapseed, I just never loved the results using the iPhone camera. Having manual control of exposure in Lightroom Mobile has made iPhone photography fun again. If you are familiar with using Lightroom, the editing options available are very easy to use. I am having a blast with this app..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Would be 5 stars if it worked with iCloudI use lightroom extensively on the desktop. I enjoy working with RAW files, and don't really like using smart previews on the mobile devices, so the RAW support is an excellent feature. I have my desktop lightroom catalogue in iCloud along with all my photos, so it would be much less frustrating if the lightroom mobile app worked in with iCloud to sync and give me access to RAW files directly from iCloud drive, and not restrict accessing RAWs to the camera roll. Otherwise, excellent app..Version: 2.5.2
✓ BrilliantThe most useful photography app bar none..Version: 2.5.2
✓ Few things I would like to see in the next updateI barely write app reviews, but Lightroom has been a very useful tool in my editing. I would like to see hopefully in the next update 1. The object selection tool.Version: 8.5.1
✓ Paste Settings Command is not operating!I use this app to edit over 5,000 images a week, if not more. It is by far the fastest app to do so out there....until now. Without the simple function of command V available on my keyboard. I know have to tap with my finger through a few menu screens to paste. This doesn’t sound like a big deal except when you consider I have to do this five thousand times a week. As oppose to use the quick key functions, this additional menu searching has increased my editing time by double. Please return the quick key functioning to this app ASAP. Increasing my work time by double for some tutorials I won’t even touch is beyond frustrating. I was not a fan of the extra step in the Copy function too. Why are they making their extremely efficient less efficient in their upgrades? I am so confused by this new update..Version: 4.3.0
✓ My Go-To Photo Editor, But…I love using Lightroom to edit iPhone RAW images. I find I’m able to consistently get polished images that look more professional. Being able to use Apple Pencil is a gigantic plus as well; I’m much more steady and precise with a pencil than a finger, a mouse or a trackpad. My major concern is how hot my M1 iPad Pro 11 gets when using Lightroom. Ditto my iPhone 13 Pro. I understand that pushing the processor is going to create heat BUT if I didn’t/couldn’t get AppleCare+ I would almost be afraid to use this app. So it’s a good app for people who like to take and edit photos but Adobe needs to address the heat issue to make sure Lightroom isn’t damaging devices..Version: 7.4.1
✓ Amazing and getting better!What I love the most about the mobile version is that I can almost do everything I need when I am pressed for time and quick edits are acceptable. Granted, the app does allow you to be VERY targeted with some of your editing, but there are some detailed things you can only get from the desktop version. Something that I wish would get fixed and updated is that the new masking updates to the desktop version do not translate to the iPad version. For example, I used the new masking option to select iris and face on a portrait I was retouching but those edits did not translate to my iPad where I wanted to finish some edits before sharing via text and to my FB/IG (another GREAT advantage of the iPad version)..Version: 8.0
✓ Generally does not workAs a local editor with Apple Pencil support it is kinda awesome. However, the minute you try to upload raw photos to the cloud the problems begin. Photos will be “pending” for days on end, to make matters worse, it hard to tell what was uploaded and what was not and when dealing with thousands o photos you just know that some are getting lost. I have tried to work with customer service for months on this, I’m constantly showing them files which should have uploaded but are somehow missing. Customer service is beyond terrible, which is frustrating because I pay for 2tbs of cloud storage. If you are solely editing photos stored on the iPad the main issues are: (1) iPad will not allow you to import photos from Samsung cellphones thus you can’t bring them into Lightroom without using the untrustable cloud; (2) if you make edits and scroll over to another photo the only undo function is to undo most if not all edits; (3) no panorama stitching; and (4) no HDR stitching. The program has potential, but like the IPad Pro it is frustrating almost every thing you try to do serious photo editing.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Way to go !New to this whole editing world and find the app to be a valuable tool ...easy to use and apply ..Version: 5.2.5
✓ Barely usable for professionalsI mean that as in, it has the basics, but weeks after iOS version that has trackpad support, it still has not been updated to support trackpads or mice (scrolling). Professionals will be wanting this sorely as they try to leave their MacBooks. The problem is the swiftness of the company. I understand we’re in WFH mode right now, but developers have had a long time to implement this since the advent of iOS (with basic mouse support in the form of accessibility settings). I now sit here flabbergasted that it hasn’t arrived yet. I’m sure it’ll be done, but 3/5 stars for now. Guess it’s back to the sofa for me with my Apple Pencil since of at my work desk with my trackpad..Version: 5.2.4
✓ Better than classicUPDATE: December 2022 ADOBE! What have you done with healing? It was quick and easy to heal, now it is cumbersome and convoluted. It was fine before, why do you have to bugger about with things that worked fine. PLEASE FIX. WHEN ONE HAS A LOT OF HEALING TO DO THE RECENT UPDATE MAKES IT TOTALLY LABORIOUS. Works superbly on my 10.5 iPad Pro. I only installed on my iPad Air 2 out of curiosity and was so rapt that I went and bought the iPad Pro. It actually works great on the Air 2 even when doing multiple edits and loads of de-spotting on my 5DS R raw files. I was amazed how fast the programme is. I have now gone fully mobile. I am a semi-pro photographer with 6000+ raw files. What I would like to see: Split toning access is cumbersome. Some UI elements need tweaking, for example you select the mask tool on the rhs and then have to choose which mask you want on the lhs. You make adjustments to the healing brush top right and then have to ok them bottom right. Group please Adobe. Apart from these minor UI tweaks I am very happy with LR mobile. This is the future of LR. I am really glad to leave behind classic as that is as fast as a two legged dog and I want to work fast, really fast..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Great, but could be betterPlease add support for iPadOS import direct from a camera, like the iPhotos app. I would also love to see support for airplay when playing a slideshow. Otherwise this app is pretty great!.Version: 4.4.1
✓ Love it and the best editing app.This is the best editing app i have ever used. i have been using this for a year now and has been awesome, it has powerful features and has never let me down. This app makes editing raw and jpeg photos fun and helps editing lots of photos plus storing them on the app to save them for later..Version: 4.4.1
✓ Bril apart from no hdr / pano mergeI’m using this on my iPad Pro early 2020 version and I can say so far there is little difference between this and the desktop version apart from some missing features of which I use all of the time, hoping they come in a later release, but apart from that I’m also liking how they haven’t just copied the desktop version and that all of the features that has been added has been redesigned from what I can tell to use everything the iPad has to offer, definitely worth a try, but seriously when is it getting pano and hdr merge, I use these all of the time, seriously don’t want to copy the photos to my laptop, install them in lightroom do the merge only to have to move them back to my iPad, I would like to use the iPad for all of my photography edits that means I have one place I can keep and store all of my photos, so far i can do almost all of that..Version: 5.2.3
✓ Cool features, quick and easyGreat improvements for little effort..but you need a little power in your processor..Version: 4.4.1
✓ My ideal DAM solutionI switched to Lightroom from Aperture when Apple stopped development. Now I’m a total convert as it provides my ideal solution for not only managing photos but as a mobile solution. I upload photos from my Canon 5DMkIII onto my iPad Pro and then import to Lightroom mobile. Edits made etc are not on;y available locally but when I return from any holiday trip etc all the assets are already in Lightroom Classic CC and all the tagging/rating and edits are there. It saves so much duplication of work. Regards Neil Skipper.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Can we not get a one time payment version?I am not a professional but an enthusiast. There are a lot of people like me who will like a one time payment option. Can we not have this option?.Version: 8.2.2
✓ ExcellentIt's a quick picture edit app, need to be include more edit option like desktop..Version: 2.8.2
✓ PhotographyI use Lightroom on my iPad, to edit the images for my photography business and it works perfectly. Easy to use tools and very simple to export..Version: 5.1.0
✓ Fast and EffectiveUsing Lightroom CC has become incredibly fast and affective. Using on the 2018 ipad pro, data syncs from all devices and you can even apply your desktop/laptop presets to your editing on your ios device. Still a few more updates required to hopefully allow the CC version to truly rival the classic, but as an editing app for ios it is incredibly powerful!.Version: 4.0.2
✓ Keeps getting betterI'm using Lightroom more and more now as it gets better, with each update .....Version: 4.0.2
✓ Editing issues on iPad ProUpdate!!!! Well after the initial response from Adobe which did not fix my issue they have now gone very quiet!!! I am left very disappointed but not surprised.. Adobe you should be ashamed of yourself. Your loyal customers deserve better.. Unfortunately you leave me no choice but sadly cancel/not renew my subscription... I love the idea of using Lightroom on my iPad but unfortunately it fails dismally. The selective editing brush lags like crazy and after spending a number of hours chatting to Adobe support I have decided to cancel my whole Adobe subscription. The lack of support for Lightroom mobile is disgraceful, all they kept saying to me was the version I am using is old ! .. I have the latest version from the AppStore... then they just said I have to wait for the next update! . Not good enough Adobe!! You have just lost someone who has been a loyal customer for 5 years.. Way to go.....Version: 4.0.2
✓ Great... but !Use this above desktop for edits. A must have with a cc account. Actually preferred the old I/f on the iPad, but getting used to it now. Workflow for subsequent publishing to social media or Flickr is key for me and this has to wait for my return to the desktop. Also would be useful to have a raw file import mechanism for urgent field work..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Almost thereThank you for listening to your customers and re-enabling Speed Review! Latest updates are great and while I still prefer doing adjustments on my Mac, you can get pretty far with developing images on the go now. Being able to edit title and caption is also a welcome addition, just needs keywords and the option to bulk edit that meta data, so all the boring work can easily be done during a commute or downtime..Version: 2.8.2
✓ Fantastic app for IPAD IOSGives me a very fast workflow like my desktop but on the go while travelling. Must have app for content creators. Well done Adobe..Version: 8.1.0
✓ Really goodThis is an amazing app for simple to expert levels of editing. I had some issues with my photos from my album to appear on upload photo so I really hope that gets fixed otherwise what an amazing app.Version: 5.1.0
✓ A Good Basic and Intuitive Photo Editor For Your PhoneSnapseed is good editor for first edit and final edits. This is a basic editor with a few more advance features. It has several standard filters. Surprising it can even remove parts of objects from your photographs: best use is to remove single stand- alone objects. It also has a good set of 9 filters . One powerful filter option Available is the selective and brush tools. They all produce fairly good results. You can selectively undo your edits. The save feature includes “saving a new version” so you don’t lose your ordinal image. All in all a very good editor you can use as your go-to editor for quick work and as your standard photo editor. I have been using it for about 4 years with excellent results and the developers continue to upgrade and correct their software package. Highly recommend this editor for the inexperienced as well as the veteran photographer; best of alll it is free..Version: 6.3.0
✓ Deletes ALL edits in a given image, losing hours of processing 😡Recently, Lightroom deletes all of my edits. It has happened numerous times with various photos. There’s no way to predict. When I open the photo it says that I can’t work on it any longer. The only option is to reset the image. It takes the image all the way back to the initial settings at which it uploaded from the raw file in Dropbox. I’ve read in various forums that others have this same issue as far back as over a year ago. Yet, the problem continues. It just happened today on my iPad and earlier in the week on my iPhone. It’s happened on my iMac as well. When will this be fixed?! I really like Lightroom otherwise but I can’t afford to keep losing hours of work. If this continues, you will lose a customer. I will greatly appreciate a follow up and all of us affected by this issue, I’m sure, expect the issue to finally be fixed. I look forward to hearing from you. Marcos.Version: 6.3.0
✓ App keeps crashingApp keeps crashing. I’ve updated & reinstalled but it’s still crashing. Please look into this as other than the crashing the app is brilliant. My workload is taking several hours longer because of this as my work keeps being lost each time the app crashes so I have to redo every image several times over..Version: 9.1.1
✓ Needs The Ability to Create DuplicatesLightroom mobile on the iPad is a great complimentary way to work with Lightroom Classic on a PC or Mac. I can work on my iPad and go and fire up the PC and take over from where I left off on the iPad. In this respect it is a very powerful tool, but it’s profoundly lacking as a standalone application. This is especially the case with the awkward file system of iOS which can really add all manner of twisty-turny hurdles. I can live with this being a stripped down Lightroom Classic, but what is hard to live with is the glaring omission of features present in this same Lightroom Mobile that is present in the desktop version in the form of the ability to create duplicates in the latter. The inability to create duplicates in Lightroom on the iPad makes life quite difficult. You can create different versions of the photos on the app but unfortunately these cannot be accessed in Lightroom Classic. This makes them effectively useless for many of us. If Adobe can add this feature then they will have dramatically improved Lightroom mobile on the iPad. Until then it’s quite crippled. Otherwise it’s fantastic as the ability to use the Apple Pencil to edit is by far my favourite way to edit photos even when compared to using a Wacom Intuous Pro tablet on my PC..Version: 9.0.1
✓ Dumb Guy Here…I once bought Adobe Photo shop suite and Loved it and used it ,A LOT. Then They went to a subscription model, and It became a cost I couldn’t keep up with. And I tried SO Many different software packages, and none of them ever really lived up to their promises. Lightroom does. It’s that simple. While it may not be the entire Adobe Creative Suite, it does what MOST photographers need to do, along with a whole host of other things. You can get really creative with it, and no break the bank. Sometimes you need to find the tutorials, to get into the weeds of the thing, ( and sometimes they are as clear as mud) but when it comes down to making your art the way you want it, Lightroom just can’t be beat. From organizing to copywriting your images, you can fix a zit, or remove a person, whatever you want to do, This will do it. You just have to take the time to learn it..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Impressive!Adobe has stepped up their game and reclaimed their place as an industry leader for creative and productive software suites. At work, I am a producer who uses Adobe Acrobat for many of my tasks. At home, my hobby is photography and using the Adobe Photography CC Plan is perfect. I love being able to take just my camera and my iPad Pro with me on photo walks and being able to capture, download, edit and post on the go without my laptop. The addition of brush strokes is a MAJOR plus for this mobile app, making this nearly invisible to the desktop application for 90% of photo editing. The best part? All of this is free with my CC subscription, which makes it hard to argue the new business model sometimes. Well done, Adobe..Version: 3.0.1
✓ AwesomeSync quick as,thanks..Version: 1.5.2
✓ IndispensableFor a pro or pro-level amateur working with raw files with integration between iPad and desktop PC workflows, there’s nothing else like it. Not a complete replacement for Lightroom Classic if you need soft proofing for print, but for the price of a few coffees every month, the Photography Plan gives you both versions, and if you sync between them, the smart previews that are uploaded to the cloud don’t count in the included 20GB cloud storage. Unlike most of the apps that can handle raw files, Lightroom can automatically apply proper camera profiles, appropriate noise reduction for the ISO used, and lens corrections. Subscription? Well, I couldn’t afford to buy Photoshop or Lightroom for years until they moved to subscription, so no complaints from me. If you only shoot JPEGS, iCloud Photos might be enough for your needs..Version: 8.2.2
✓ Left handI use Lightroom for photography and I do small Edits on my iPad but I don’t use it much on the iPad just because the editing column is on the right hand side and I edit using my left hand so to edit is a bit awkward on the iPad, is there an option that I can move the editing panel to the left? I tried to look for the options but didn’t find any..Version: 5.3.1
✓ UnbelievableI cannot tell you how much Lightroom mobile has saved me in my photography career. I have learned Lightroom so much using this version and have made a career off of using Lightroom mobile. Of course I am still building and now learning photoshop, but at a time where I wanted to get into photography and did not have a lot of money to afford a high end PC, I received a more affordable iPad 2017 for photography services and then traded it in for an iPad mini 5. This app has been a life save because I use both at home and outside or on the train. It’s easier to work with because I can use it on a smaller, much lighter device and always get work done on the go. What it lacks from Lightroom Desktop is made up by the fact that it’s a mobile version with a good set of features. The batch editing really does it for me now, I still use it on my iPad and will be getting a laptop very soon thanks to picking up momentum and getting further in my career while using this app, but I will still be using this on the go when I dont want to carry a computer around the city. My camera equipment is already heavy enough..Version: 5.0.0
✓ Great until latest update…Have been impressed with the mobile version of Lightroom each time it has been overhauled but latest iteration is buggy. Specifically some of the new features do not play well (at all) with the desktop version of Lightroom Classic, still what I consider to be the workhorse of all versions and my go to for heavy lifting edit work. I’m hopeful that fixes will be forthcoming but for now I can’t use Lr Mobile to apply new local adjustments because when saved to the cloud and opened in LrC (desktop) I get warnings that adjustments are not compatible and if file is opened the changes will be lost. Please fix Adobe..Version: 7.0.0
✓ Can’t stand this subscription businessIf you had only made it a single payment for the premium version, I would have gotten it even for £20. But pay monthly for an app, I am afraid that’s a no no for me. Since that’s the case, I am not even going to explore the app any further than my basic usage. Otherwise, good job on the app..Version: 5.3.1
✓ Watch out for subscription clausesThe app is great. I’ve had a subscription for 3 years, paying 9.99 per month. After paying £350 pounds, I’ve found I’m not using it as much as I thought and want to cancel, but the subscription auto-renews silently (they don’t email you) and you sign up for another year. If you want to break in the middle of a year then you have to pay a cancellation fee of half the remainder of the year. Beware..Version: 8.3.2
✓ Presets! Yes!The latest update that syncs your desktop presets to iOS devices is just awesome, it pretty much completes my move to a full iOS editing setup..Version: 3.3.0
✓ LightroomGreat app, have used it nearly everyday, just a thought, how about a curves adjustment in the next update, would give the app the over the top edge. Anyhow awesome....jazz.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Lightroom CC reviewDespite my apprehension to changes in the business model, I like the direction Adobe is taking with Lightroom on iOS... Brush edits are HUGE. The performance is great. It's also nice to see global detail tools, the old way to sharpen on iOS didn't make as much sense (although sharpening on desktop LR is still easier when holding Option). The UI refresh brings it more in line with desktop LR (editing tools on the right), and it seems much faster to navigate through the different tool groups, but now that the tools are persistent, there’s no way to edit "full screen" anymore. I like the change to one finger touch to preview edits (from a three finger touch in the prior version of the app), but I find myself missing a good way to preview individual adjustments. Would still like to see perspective adjustments, HDR & panorama merging, cloning & healing, smart fill (desktop too—one of the few features that keeps me coming back to Photoshop), and the ability to switch camera color profiles. Most of these requests would be moot if we could get full resolution (adjusted) raw files out of Lightroom so they can be round-tripped with other photo editing apps, but if you began the process on the desktop, you’re limited to editing smart previews of full images... Despite all that, Lightroom CC is a fantastic iPad experience and I'm more optimistic about this update than not. It's faster, easier to navigate and the brush editing is awesome..Version: 3.0.1
✓ Perfect for IPadI have been practicing my Lightroom editing skills on my Mac but it is so perfect and easy to use on my iPad. Presets are loading in so quick. Importing and exporting of images has been a breeze. Thanks for this awesome app. Creative cloud yearly subscription is really great across devices and this is excellent for my workflow..Version: 9.0
✓ AMAZINGI haven’t explored Lightroom fully yet, but it’s excellent It makes my photos and videos look waaaaaaaaay better.Version: 5.2.5
✓ Adobe Lightroom Mobile CC is the best photography app!If you need to edit pictures on the go for work or personal use you can not beat the power of Adobe Lightroom. The app gives you the power of editing that use need to be preformed on a computer from your phone or iPad. When used with 2018 Apple IPad Pro and Apple Pencil 2 you have amazing control over your editing. There is a small learning curve if you are used to Lightroom Classic but is easily overcome within a few of your first edits. I believe Adobe will continue to develop these apps until they are just as good or better than the desktop applications. Thank you Adobe for making this possible!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Amazing and user friendlyI do wish it was $1-3 cheaper but overall is really user friendly and amazingly advanced for a mobile app.Version: 8.2.2
✓ Desktop replacement?So far I’m loving the lightroom app on my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9. Such a massive power boost from my mid 2014 MacBook Pro. Once I had reorganised my photo library to allow for the changes caused by moving to the iPad I found this software to load and edit raw images super quick and easy. Can’t recommend the photography plan enough. I do have two things preventing a 5 star review. 1. Export options really need updating, I’m really not comfortable with not having control over the quality and colour space settings for jpeg export. I shoot raw and use a p3 screen for a reason and the mandatory sRGB exports aren’t suitable. 2. Photoshop app and integration. Sometimes I need to use photoshop for more complex edits and not having a true photoshop app is a pain in the backside. Promised 2019 for the app launch and its already % months into the year. Also integration could be better. I shoot raw and when I transition to PS I want to edit the latest raw image not some cut down jpeg copy of it. These options are fundamental in the desktop versions and are really important to professional workflows. Otherwise very promising for the future.Version: 4.2.1
✓ Needs improvementThe good: Simple to use interface. I like that I can reject pictures with one swipe. The bad: No support for review, keywords The ugly: No sync via USB. All my pictures need to be uploaded to Adobe's cloud. What a waste of bandwith. Monthly subscription to Creative Cloud required..Version: 3.1.2
✓ New masking programI have had this a couple of weeks now , sufficient time to try it out and I am generally impressed , one fault though it does crash the program on the ipad now and again , still worth it..Version: 7.0.2
✓ A consistently excellent productI’ve been using Lightroom Classic for several years now and only fairly recently started using the iPad version of Lightroom mobile. It’s so well thought through and say to use that I do all my editing on my iPad now. I’m constantly blown away by the speed at which it works without lag. For example, I can add multitudes of healing brush adjustments to a photo without any lag (depending on original file size of course). What I’m most impressed with though is the sync between all versions of Lightroom mobile so that I can start an edit on my iPad and switch over to my phone to pick up the edit on the go. I also really appreciate the new syncing of presets from desktop to mobile. One small gripe I have however is that I can’t make batch edits. This was what drew me to Lightroom on desktop in the first place so I really hope this feature is applied to mobile too. A first class product that keeps improving and the photography package from Adobe CC is excellent value for money..Version: 4.0.2
✓ Straightforward but highly effectiveFor a while I’d got a bit lazy in photography, shooting in JPEG, just applying filters in Apple Photos app. But I’ve decided to switch my Olympus back to RAW mode and was looking for a simple but powerful photo editing package that I could use on my iPad. Having experimented with a very powerful but overly complicated multilayer photo editor, I decided to revisit Lightroom, which I used to use on a Mac. So far, I love it! The editing is easy and effective, quick and convenient. I wish it was available to plug into my Apple Photo library rather than seeming to want to replace the photos but so far I am managing to work around that!.Version: 4.0.0
✓ Best Photo App out there... but...This program is powerful, efficient, and super functional. I absolutely love cloud-based editing: I can load RAWs or JPEGs on my iPad, and edit from my iPhone or vice-versa from hi-quality thumbnails, a trick other photo apps have not perfected. Because of this feature, I have successfully moved 100% of my photo editing to mobile devices because I must be able to turn around work quickly on the job. I can’t thank the developers enough for these features. However, I am flabbergasted by what is left off the mobile platform. The big two for me are not being able to select the quality of export (there are only two options: export a thumbnail, or a low-bitrate JPEG), and no ability to copy a preset to a batch. These functions are essential for workflow efficiency. If Adobe adds them, more professionals will take advantage of studio-quality mobile editing..Version: 4.3.0
✓ AlmostWith Lightroom i can sync my camera while out in the field, and can do most of what i need before i get home. I love the use of cloud sync and also the pen integration… still find im going to affinity for stacks or panoramas as for some reason not supported other than that its great..Version: 8.0.1
