Lightroom Mobile Android - Save to Gallery size

When I select "save to gallery" after editing some photos I've imported from my Android phone storage - 6000x4000 px photos - I have a couple problems. One, I have to select it twice to get anything stored, which is slightly annoying considering that it won't over-write a stored image if you happen to have selected it three times. The second, which is far more annoying and absolutely a deal-breaker, is that it's storing images with a 2048 pixel longest side. That's the 'smart preview' size, isn't it? I don't need the 'smart preview' size, I need the adjustments I've made applied to my actual image, so I can send it off to clients.
Lightroom dev/sales team - if you would like to finish your product so I don't waste an hour of editing, that would be great. As far as I can tell, my time has just been wasted, and that doesn't make me feel particularly good about what you're selling.
Alternatively, if I'm wrong and there's an export setting somewhere, great! I'd love to know where it is.

I'm not to clear on what you are doing and the purpose.. can you explain a little more please??

Lightroom Mobile Android - Use SD Card?

Firstly, thank you for getting Lightroom Mobile for Android out - it's very welcome!
A couple of very basic questions, if I may:
How do I make Lightroom Mobile for Android use the SD card for its data cache?
Also, do you have a timescale for fixing the bug that Lightroom Mobile cannot be installed to SD card?
Many thanks

Who said "actively code out"?
Nobody had to - some of us know a little bit about Android already...
Lr Mobile works with Android 4.1 and up.
Any Android device that Lightroom Mobile currently runs on, defaults at the OS level to allowing write access to SD cards. For Lr Mobile not to be able to write to the SD card, someone had to code the ability out.
The post here: Re: LR Mobile uses wrong storage space on my HTC One S (Android 4.1.1) from Rahul S is right, I reckon:
"Since Lightroom app does not support the sdcard, it's most likely the app is configured to use only "App space" to install as well as for its storage "

How to stop unwanted photos from being imported to Lightroom Mobile Android

Hi, I am a subscriber to the Adobe Photo package (LR and PS).
I have started using LR mobile recently on my Android phone. I found that if I turn on Auto Import for a collection, it import more than just pictures taken by the camera. Any pictures that is added by, eg., WhatsApp, it will also be imported. Is this the intended way it works? How can I control what folders LR mobile will "watch" for imports? !

Thanks, Jim. Android operates a bit different from IOS. It has a camera folder, which contains all pictures taken by the Android camera app. If there are other apps that can take pictures, they will most likely appear in their respective app folders (depending on how the app behaves). And then there are other apps that does not take picture but will receive pictures, eg., the whatspp app. when someone send you pictures. The Whatsapp folder exists outside of the Camera folder (or picture roll, if you want to call it).
To me, the best way to handle this, is for the user to have control over which folder to sync, which not to. Eg., the Google+ Photo app, which sync pictures from the phone to Google+ (sort of like iCloud) lets you select which folder to sync. It will, very cleverly prompt you whenever it detects a new folder that contains photos (eg., after installing a 3rd party camera app or apps like Instagram that have its own folders to save photos related to them) and you can decide whether you want these new folders to be sync or not.
I hope to find out how LR mobile interact with Android because, apparently, it is not scanning the complete phone for pictures because, I found that there are temp folders that are used by email programs etc., that contains small gif/png/jpg files that do not appear in LR mobile. I wonder how LR mobile makes the decision.
Anyone having similar issues?

Lightroom mobile for Android devices

Hey guys,
before I ask the Facebook communities, I try to collect some information here.
I have a subscription for the Creative Cloud.
Afaik, this subscription includes Lightroom Mobile. But: please correct me, I cannot run Lightroom mobile on my Samsung Android tablet? Where can I find the download?
I pay for it. In Germany about 12 EUR/m. This is about 15 USD. And I don't give somthing else on the general conditions and terms.
Android is the most popular operation system world wide. So I guess I am just to stupid to find the download in the cloud...
Can anybody provide me more information? That wo be great. Thanks in advance.
Jörg

Hi Jorg,
This is actually a question for the Lightroom forum: Photoshop Lightroom. Here is a link to Android Google Play download: Adobe Lightroom mobile - Android Apps on Google Play

Lightroom Mobile gallery image limits?

Sorry, I searched and couldn't find any info on this, unless I am not wording my search correctly… I understand there are max GB limits in the creative cloud but is there an actual image amount limit in Lightroom mobile. For example, if i create hundreds of lower res jpgs for a client to review for an edit, is there a limit to how many Lightroom Mobile will support in one gallery? thx, tbyrd

I've not seen a limit, and I've one synced collection with >2000 images.
One point is that these images don't need to be JPEGs, unless you're worried that the client may figure out how to save pictures from the browser.

Maximum file size in creative cloud and Lightroom mobile?

I Am interested in purchasing the special offer for the photoshop photography program where I can move and edit photos between a desktop version of LR, the cloud and mobile LR. I use large Raw format files of about 25 MB. I saw that photoshop CC app can only handle up to 12 MB files, and was wondering if there is a maximum size limit for mobile Lightroom?

There is not really a limitation. The Lightroom Mobile technology lets you view and work with large files by creating compact proxy images on the tablet. Settings will be synced between the proxy and original raw-file on your desktop computer. Hope that answers your question. -Guido

Lightroom Mobile web gallery

In Lightroom Mobile, how can I create a shared web gallery with only my flaged (selected) photos instead of the entire folder of images?

When you flip the collection cover via the three dots (at the bottom right) then you will see a "Web Collection Sharing" -entry.
Hope this helps.

Lightroom Mobile File sizes

I want to use LR mobile to transfer some files to my iPad. Do I need to resize and convert to jpg before setting up a folder for transfer? Do I just set uo the transfer file as a collection?

When you mark a collection for syncing and syncing is enabled, Lightroom automatically converts the collection's photos to Smart Preview versions to save space, and moves those Smart Previews to your iPad. The Smart Preview versions are a lot smaller, but they contain enough information to let you edit them on your iPad as if they were still raw. On the next sync it passes any iPad edits back to the raw files in Lightroom on your computer.
You never have to pre-convert files for Lightroom Mobile, it's always done automatically.

Lightroom mobile? When available for Android users, eg Samsung.

Adobe has already said there would be additional versions for other mobile devices...
"An Android version of Lightroom mobile will not be available at release, but is in development."

About save as reduced size pdf

I noticed that saving as reduced size pdf shrinks a lot my pdf files.
What does it do precisely? Is there a way, with Acrobat X or some other software, to do the same to a large collection of files in few steps?
Any compatibility problem reading that kind o pdf on mobile devices (BlackBerry, Android, iPhone, WP6 or WP7)?
Bye
Dario

don't think it's the right explanation: incremental updates are removed with a simple "save as" action.
Infact, the size of my files (not modifyed after first creation), doesn't change if I open and do a simply "save as" them.
Size will change with Save as > reduced size PDF... it must be doing also something else that regards the version compatibility: I noticed that setting an higher value in the box asking for Acrobat compatibility level will impact the final size of the file.
Keeping actual level will save, on the test file I'm using, about 4 MB. Setting at 9.0 compat. level will obaint the 4 MB file. The quality of the output pdf is lower than the original, so it's also doing some kind of compression.
An explanation could be: it does file compression using the best algorithm available for the version selected?
PS
Is there a way to get statistics on PDF files, like the space used for incremental updates?
Bye,

Lightroom Mobile on Surface Pro

I've been trying to find an answer to this question but have had no luck. I use Adobe Lightroom as part of my Creative Cloud Membership on my desktop for a majority of my photo editing. All is good there.
In Lightroom I've signed in and made some of my Collections editable on the cloud. I love that I can use my iPad or my Android Phone using the Lightroom Mobile App to do some light editing whenever I'm away from my desktop.
I have a Surface Pro tablet also and I would love to use my Surface Pro to edit photos when away from my desktop. My problem is it doesn't seem like Lightroom on the Surface has the same capabilities to edit the catalogs that I've set to be in the cloud.
Am I not understanding how Online/Mobile/Tablets work together or am I wanting to do something that isn't possible. It just seems like a Surface Pro 3 should be able to do what my iPad and phone can do.
I've read all about putting catalogs on dropbox and have the images on a removable drive and understand how that works, it just seems much more burdensome than the easier iPad/phone ease of use.
Thanks-Scott

You want to share LR and its photos on two desktop-capable systems. LR is a single-user program that needs the catalog attached locally.
The way I accomplish what you want is to have my LR catalog and photos on a portable USB3-attached 2TB drive and carry that with me. Because the drive is portable and subject to loss or theft or damage I backup my 2TB drive to another 2TB drive when I am at my main desktop computer. I basically copy everything on the main drive to the backup drive but using options in my backup program to only copy files that are different either in time-stamp or filesize which works out to my new photos, my LR catalog and some LR preview files. I have had the portable drive fail and merely replace my backup drive and use my former backup for my primary work, immediately, or as soon as I have copied things to the new backup drive.

Lightroom 5.4 to Lightroom Mobile sync is soooo slow - why no local sync?

I am testing the new Lightroom 5.4 with Lightoom Mobile. What really annoys me is the fact that all photos are going up to the Creative Cloud. I have private pictures which should be private. Always. No upload. No Cloud sync. It is important!
Speed is the next major problem. LR 5 is way too slow for a fluid workflow. But this is mentioned from other users.
What absolutely makes me sad ist the sync speed of LR5.4 to LR Mobile. 100 Photos took up to 4 hours. On a typical wedding I have 2000+ images. Depending on the speed of the first 100 photos I have to wait 80+ hours? Are you kiddding me? This makes LR Mobile unusable. My clients are expecting results fast. Speed is one factor to the next contract.
Overall, I don't want to sync anything into the Cloud. I want a to use my fast local sync via WiFi or USB. Only those two options. I want to sync photos even without any internet connection successfully and quickly.
I'm fine with authentication with Adobe servers for licensing verification. But that's it. The rest should be configurable by the users whether they Cloud sync or not.

Tom, thank you for taking your time to come here and enlighten us with the decision making process behind what was done. Like it was said before here, the Lightroom Mobile so far has been very, very frustrating. I came home very excited to test it and make my dream come true. To be able to take my catalog (or a shoot) with me on the subway, etc and be able to choose the photos on my iPad. See, I am a photographer and I shoot mainly fashion and beauty, so my workflow starts as soon as I finish shooting by importing all images into Lightroom and then going through the painstaking process of choosing which picture to use. I would shoot anywhere between 5-12 looks in a day, around 100 photos per look and at the end of the process I need to choose only one photo from each look. This normally involves going back multiple times to be able to get to only one from each look. The LR Mobile would have been the perfect solution for me, making me able to look at photos while out of the office, on the subway, at home, etc. It would have made my editing process much faster (or less slow). Instead, I've been sitting and waiting for 6 hours so far and only 18 photos showed up on my iPad (from the 500+ that were chosen to be synced from my desktop LR. Now I know it's not my internet that is making it that slow because I have 80+Mbps of download and 40+Mbps upload. And that haven't helped me much as my LR is stuck on "Syncing 527 photos" for the last 5 hours. Most professional photographers that I know deal with a huge amount of photos from a photoshoot. Wedding, fashion, advertising, we all shoot 1000+ images in any given work day. To come home and have to wait 100 hours before we are able to edit on the iPad is just not useful. This will be useful for the amateur photographer that will take photos of their children/dog/flowers and want to be able to show their guests the photos without having to get them in front of the computer.
Now I understand what you said about having to have a centralized place so that all the clients up to date on the changes, and I think that is great but I also think that it's paramount that there's a different way of syncing, a faster, more efficient way. Even if it is, like mentioned, not a "everything in sync" solution. Something like sync the desktop to the iPad and only those two work together. If both are changed before the next sync, a "the 'blabla' catalog has been changed since you last synced, do you want to overwrite it?" takes care of the problem, much in the same way that Photoshop asks us when we are saving something that has been somewhat modified by some external agent between saves. But the beauty of shooting all day, loading everything in Lightroom at night at the hotel and in the morning catch your flight and edit your shoot on the iPad while traveling, or being able to show the clients on the iPad right after you shot the wedding, or (what I was dreaming was going to be possible just to have my dreams crushed when started to use it) shooting tethered on the job and giving the art director the iPad so that he/she can see the shots without having to stay in front of the computer during the whole shoot. Now THAT would be a game changer! That was what I was expecting from LR Mobile but unfortunately got disappointed. I'd pay for the app alone if it did that!
