Do iPhone photos sync to Lightroom Mobile in Original Quality or Smart Preview?

From my iPhone, I want to get the original (high quality) photo from my camera roll into Lightroom on my desktop. Currently, I am doing this by having Dropbox read my camera roll, and using WiFi, sync all new photos to a Dropbox folder. Then, when I launch Lightroom on my desktop, I have watch folder setup that imports all new photos sync'ed from Dropbox into Lightroom.
I recently downloaded Lightroom Mobile, which has the ability to import any new photos from the camera roll directly to Lightroom Mobile. I have set this up to sync to Lightroom on my desktop with my Lightroom Mobile. From what I have read online though, Lightroom Mobile only syncs "smart previews", not the original image. This make sense for RAW files as they are huge, but what about regular JPEGs?
My question is, if someone sets up Lightroom Mobile to sync in this way (from iPhone camera roll -> Lightroom Mobile -> Lightroom Desktop), does it sync the original (high quality) photo to your desktop, or just a Smart Preview? I am wondering if I can now eliminate the Dropbox syncing, and just use Lightroom Mobile instead.

When you import photos from your camera roll via Lr Mobile, then the original will be synced to Lr Deskop. But when you open up the photo in Lr Mobile you will see a smaller kind of smart preview. Hope that answers your question. - Guido

  • No sync with Lightroom mobile in lr 5.5

    I can sync my photos from iPhone to LR 5.5
    However, if I chose photos in LR to sync with LR mobile, they do not appear neither on the iPhone nor online.
    What can I do? This is just a big disappointment.

    Hi All,
    I am having the same problem described here and in several other posts.
    Since upgrading to LR5.5 upload has been much slower, and has since stopped altogether with no changes from the desktop app syncing with the mobile app or vice versa.
    I've been through a bunch of suggestions from Adobe's support, such as creating and dropping collections to try and kick start it. Deleting and letting rebuild the lrsync data folder. And then re-arranging photos within collections to try and resolve.
    Initially some metadata changes were syncing, but images themselves weren't (all JPEG & CR2/RAW), but now nothing. No change in any collection on the desktop will sync to the mobile app or appear in the web version - lightroom.adobe.com.
    I have also noticed that lightroom seems to be hitting the CPU very hard - all of the time, and the following message keeps appearing every few seconds in the system log:

    If I stop syncing then these error messages stop appearing.
    Please someone help! I have over 35000 photos synced with Lightroom mobile and now it has become completely useless - I can't do anything with it at all.
    An LR sync diagnostics file is here - http://wikisend.com/download/677084/Lightroom Sync Diagnostic Log.webarchive

  • Do photos synced with Lightroom count toward storage quota?

    Do photos synced with Lightroom count toward Creative Cloud 2GB storage quota? I have 300+ photos synced so far, but storage looks to be 0.

    Lightroom mobile is an extra service that does not count to your Creative Cloud 2GB storage quota. -Guido

    I am unable to get Lightroom Mobile to work on my home network. The Ipad says "There are no collections to sync, enable lightroom mobile on your computer", but it is enabled.  I got it to work one time on another network but not at home where I use Lightroom.

    Hi,
    could you please give us some info on what kind of network you have?
    Can other application communicate with the web?
    Thanks,

  • In Create Collection in lr 5.4, no "sync with lightroom mobile"

    On my desktop copy of LR 5.4, when I go to Create Collection, there is no "Sync with Lightroom Mobile" option.  But it's there on my laptop LR5.4.

    Could you post a screenshot about what you are seeing? Are you signed-in? Thanks,Guido

  • Can I filter a liked photo from a lightroom mobile public link?

    New to Lightroom so maybe I'm missing it but when someone likes a photo from a lightroom mobile public link how can I have a smart collection filter it? I understand how to if they add a comment but that is time consuming for them, liking a photo and filtering the result would be great. Thanks.

  • In Create Collection Window - Sync to Lightroom mobile option is missing

    Hi,
    I recently installed Lightroom CC (Latest Version) and there is one thing I can't figure out.
    When I Create a new collection, in the Create Collection window there isn't the option "Sync with Lightroom mobile".
    The last option in that window is Set as target collection
    I saw in the manuals and tutorials that it should be there, and it is missing, because I want to sync with LR on my mobile phone.
    I'm definitely connected to Creative Cloud with my Adobe ID (and using beside LR another adobe CC apps)
    I tried to uninstalled and reinstalled LR and the problem persists.
    What should I do?
    Mac Pro 2010, OS 10.9.5
    Thanks
    T

    The checkbox isn't there because the catalogue isn't signed in to LrMobile. This is done at the top left of the screen - click the identity plate area.

  • Problems with Syncing to Lightroom Mobile

    I have the following problem with syncing to Lightroom Mobile:
    In Lightroom desktop it seems that the collections will be uploaded correctly (number of images is counting down to zero). Changes will also be uploaded.
    In the web interface I see the collections somtetimes and sometimes not. I can make them appear if I chose the "make collection public" in Lightrrom desktop.
    In the iOS App there is absolutely nothing happening: "There are no collections"
    I have the recent versions of all applications and OSs. I have deleted and reinstalled the iOS App.
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Regards
    Zippo

    Hi,
    we should have fixed this on our side now, please try to sync again and let us know if it helped.
    Thanks,

  • How long does it take to sync to Lightroom Mobile?

    I'm very frustrated with LR mobile.  I try to use it to process raw images from my 5DIIIafter they have been loaded into Lightrom. Just today, I checked the box to sync a collection of 26 pictures.  After many minutes, Lightroom says "Syncing 2 Pictures."  On my iPad, the collection shows up with 0 pictures and again nothing has happened.  I have tried this experiment before with other picture sets and I get the same result Lightroom says "Syncing n pictures" where n is much less than the number in the collection and none of the pictures shows up on the iPad.Once, when I first installed LR mobile I was able to transfer a collection of eight pictures, but it has never worked satisfactorily since. I watched the Kelby One Video, and think I'm doing every thing correctly. LR mobile actually reports 2 collections with 34 photos on the main screen, but I have yet to see one photo from the second collection appear and LR still says it's only syncing 2 photos not 26.  It's been at least 10 minutes since I started this and nothing is happening.

    More Information:
    The problems I reported on happened with my Windows Desktop computer.  I made a collection on my McBook Pro, signed in there and was able to sync the collection, view the pictures on Lightroom Adobe.com and on my iPad.
    I went back to my desk top, signed in and tried to sync and nothing happened. Zilch.  I read another thread in this forum, where it was suggested that you Delete All Data in the Lightroom Mobile preferences.  When I did that, the message in my desktop Lightroom said Syncing 26 pictures and counted down to zero. However both lightroom.adobe.com and my iPad showed No Collections and no pictures.  I went back and signed my MacBook in again and the transfer works as expected.  Is there a problem unique to the Windows version of Lightroom?  I'm at my wits end.  Please help

  • ITunes can no longer find my iPhoto - no iPhone photo sync ability...help!?

    Hello...okay, some data - I am currently running Lion and all the latest software updates, I am also running multiple users on this iMac, I am also sharing the iPhoto library using the "Shared Library" method.  My wifes iPhone (via her own account on the iMac) does access the iPhoto library properly from iTunes and she IS able to choose certain albums to sync (instead of the "All photos,..." option).  I cannot.  Please see the screenshot I took:
    Please note that the "Selected albums,..." option is greyed out and despite the radio button on "All..." being selected, no photos sync, ala, the error message.
    It's as if my iTunes account no longer sees the Shared iPhoto file and refuses to "reconnect" to it...
    iPhoto runs fine and launches from my account without issue...even launches when I connect my iPhone and download photos and videos.  So, like I say, I feel like it's iTunes no longer thinking I have a valid iPhoto running.
    Both my iPad and iPhone give me this message.  Think it has something to do with permissions, but have run a permissions fix both from the Disk Utility and from booting holding down the Command +R method, and then using Utilities, Terminal and Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs.
    I feel like my whole user account is kinda screwed ever since the migration to Lion, but a Lion reinstall did not fix it and I am not quite ready to start from scratch with a new userID...
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Locate and remove the iPod Photo Cache folder(s). A new one will be recreated the next time you sync Photos with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. Deleting this folder will not remove the original images from your library, but may solve your sync problem.

  • IPhone photo sync interrupted to iPhoto now won't sync pics!

    I was on vacation and syncing my photos from my iPhone to my MacBook Pro while I lay in bed. At some point my MacBook went to sleep (I believe) and the photo syncing from iPhone to iPhoto was interrupted. Now both devices believe the photos were synced but they weren't and now the pictures and videos are taking up much needed room on my phone. What do I do to get these to sync???

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Lightroom 5.7 quit syncing with Lightroom Mobile

    I purchased Lightroom desktop 5.7 and ran it as a trial for awhile.  I then entered my serial numbers for the upgrade to 5.7.  Everything was working fine with 5.7 desktop and mobile, but now, although I can open desktop and log into it and set a collection to sync, it doesn't.  Both desktop and mobile now say that my trial has expired.  What is up with that?
    I can't reach anyone at Adobe by phone.  Instead I accidentally got the poser company of iYogi in India posing as Adobe support.  They logged into my PC and then proceeded to tell me that it would cost me $370 to fix it!  Why is it so damn hard to get support diredtly from Adobe on a product that I just purchased?  Somehow that company removed all my restore points and said nobody else could fix my PC.  Now I have to do a complete restore from backup

  • Iphone photo syncing question

    I'm trying to sync my photos from my iphone4 to my pc.  It syncs everything but the photos.  It shows it's syncing the photos, but then shows "0" photos.  I cannot find them in any folder on my computer.  Any ideas?

    I am experiencing this problem too. My Laptop got stolen in a burglary. I now have another Laptop running XP and I have downloaded iTunes. I am now trying to sync my iPhone 4 running IOS 4.3.5 (SL1) and I will then upgrade to the latest IOS version.
    I have run the sync which appears to have worked but when I go to the chosen folder on my PC there is a file called iPhone Photo Cache with nothing in it.
    Has anyone experienced this? I am now concerned the iPhone has not synchronised and I will loose my data if I upgrade to IOS 5.
    Can anyone help?

  • Which iPhone is supported by Lightroom Mobile for iPhone?

    I cannot install Lightroom Mobile on my iPhone 4, I am told by iTunes that my iPhone 4 is incompatible, yet nowhere have I found any information suggesting anyone else is having this problem and I cannot find any information about supported iPhones.
    My iPhone 4 is running 7.1.1.
    I have Lightroom Mobile working perfectly on my iPad so I cannot see this as being a local issue.
    Any suggestions as to how to resolve this issue?

    The info is listed at the app-store. see the attached screenshot...

  • IPhone photo sync doesn't work.
