Lightroom mobile question

Hi,
I currently subscribe to the photoshop cc photographers package and run mobile lightroom on my iPad and i would like to know if i can also run lightroom on my new iPhone 6 at the same time or can you only use one mobile version.
Many Thanks Adrian

Hi Adrian
I’m not sure how that works in practice but it may be possible because you would download a separate app for the iPhone compared with the iPad. But the iPhone 6 is very new so you may want to check over on the Creative Cloud forum to see if iOS8 is already supported.
The only problem I would envisage is syncing photos from the phone’s camera roll. It would create a separate collection in Lightroom desktop via smart previews in the cloud but would not sync with the ipad.

New lightroom mobile synch question between DSLR and iPad

If you are in the field and you synch wirelessly to the iPad or use import feature from cards, will lightroom mobile synch seamlessly to lightroom CC. For example, starting workflow from camera to iPad to computer?

Just to be totally clear - on both devices you have it set up like this.....
Settings>iTunes and App Stores>Automatic Downloads>Apps>On, and you are using the same Apple ID on both devices and are signed into your ID in that setting?
As for the purchased app, if it is an iPhone app and you went to the purchase tab of the App Store, you have to tap on iPhone Apps at the top of the screen in order to see it. Is it an iPhone app and did you do that?

Question Lightroom mobile

Unable to sign in to Lightroom Mobile on my desktop version. Does not recognise my Adobe ID, even after several attempts

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.

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative clouds not the same?

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative clouds not the same?
Idea was to store date in one place. I have subscribed to photographer option

Do you mean you are trying to sync files from Creative Cloud to mobile and it doesn't work? I don't know much about Lightroom. It's better to ask your question at Photoshop Lightroom.

Lightroom Mobile sync fail

Well, it sounded good, so I tried it, on just 6 images, those worked, so then I set a larger number, yes, a massive 26 images, yes, that is 26, not 26,000.
It just sits there, and the six images that were visible on iOS are now gone, (I did move them to the new 26 photo collection, so that could be why)
In iOS the new "Collection" name shows up along with the number of photos that should be in it, but there are none after 12 hours. I've tried uninstalling and reinstall of LR mobile, no difference.
On LR desktop the collection has has 26 photos in it, syncing is on, the almost invisible sync tag is showing alongside the collection. The only thing it has managed to do is remove the previous testt folder, so I am now down to 0 photos on Lightroom mobile. Not impressive.
So, questions:
1. Is it possible to tell from Lightroom (desktop) the status of a sync. i.e have they uploaded and the problem is in the iOS version, or not even uploaded.
2. Is it possible to use a web browser to see what has uploaded - i.e. check that the images are in the Adobe "cloud"
3. how long should it take to sync 24 off 5184x3456 pixel jpegs? (I have both my laptop and phone liked to a 60MB/s fibre broadband connection - being Virgin Media the upload is a bit pitiful at only 2MB/s - but still, surely it shouldn't take days? - the exact same images uploaded to Alamy in about 15 mins)
4. within the setting fly-out on the LHS on LR Mobile. there are sliders for "Sync only over WiFi", Show touches" & "collect usage data". The first two are set to off, the last one to send data to Adobe is on. None of them can be changed. Same on iPad and iPhone. Presumably they should be selectable or there wouldn't be an option - can anyone tell me how to enable this?
P.S. I just found a sort of solution to Q.4., when re-installing you get to select those options, not phrased consistently with the options screen, but that seems to do it, but a bit mad you have to delete all your photos and data in order to change a setting, there must be another way. There is a Setting within the iOS Settings, Lightroom, "Use Mobile Data" which you can slide to "off" position, but it makes seemingly no difference to the setting shown in Lightroom itself, which stays showing it will sync - are these supposed to be linked / synced or not?
My iOS device (iPhone + iPad) see the new "Collection" name, but have no photos in then
Perhaps LR mobile is all a bit embryonic and I should wit for it to mature a bit, but I thought just syncing a few images wouldn't be too challenging
Thanks for any help.
Stephen

Thank you Guido,
It seems all I needed to do was wait, and then wait a bit more, and then wait a little longer. It took about 14 hours to sync the 26 images - no progress bar air any clue on what progress there was, it just went from zero when I looked after about 13 hours to all 26 images after 15 hours.
So not exactly a reliable tool currently if you need to rely on the transfer. the same images are in my dropbox account, i did a test duplicating them, and they took about 6 minutes to sync between iPad and mac on the same network - i.e. uploading to DropBox 'cloud' then downloading the iPad.
As I said before, seems a little embryonic perhaps, I think I will probably use it as a 'slide viewer' until the sync becomes a little quicker.
Thanks for your message, and thankfully didn't need the diagnostics this time.

Do you have any more information about the Lightroom Mobile for tablet? [was:Information]

Hey just doing a check. In. Do you have any more information about the Lightroom app for tablet? Like when it is coming out, what features will it have? Because I can't Waite. Especially for editing a raw file on a tablet. Excited.
I do have a Few questions. 1. Will the app have a library mode that allows the photographer to display the raw files on the app like how photo shop touch does. Example. When your import a photo from the iPad it shows up in the photo app that Apple makes. But when you take that photo into photo shop and save it as a psdx file, the project or photo does not show up in the original photo app by apple.
2. Will the app use the smart previews when you import a raw file on to the iPad the same as you do with a computer?
3. Do you have to Waite to go home to edit a raw file or can you edit on the tablet once you import the photo from camera to iPad? Instead of going home import to computer into Lightroom 5, then to adobe cloud, then to iPad.
4. Will the app display catalog, book, etc modes like Lightroom 5 has?

At this stage, we don't know any more about Lightroom Mobile than Adobe revealed in Sep 2013

Adobe will reveal more when they're good and ready.

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

Organize files from Lightroom Mobile on Hard Drive

Hi! I am working on refining my workflow for getting images from my iPhone into Lightroom. One approach I'm considering is to use Lightroom Mobile's Camera Roll auto-import feature, since it works pretty consistently well, and would allow me to start rating and sorting images on either my iPhone or iPad, and do heavier editing when I get back to the desktop. My idea is I'd have an "Inbox" where images are coming in from the iPhone (either that I've shot with the iPhone itself, or transferred to the Camera Roll from an Eye-Fi card -- but that's neither here nor there), and I could sort them into other collections when I get back to the desktop.
Quick background note: I'm coming from Aperture, where I had referenced files on an external hard drive, neatly organized in folders by year > month > day, and named in <yyyy-mm-dd> - at - <hh-mm-ss>.ext format, easily searchable via the filesystem, if need be (yeah, I read The DAM Book).
My problem with this Lightroom Mobile workflow so far, is that once the images get into Lightroom on the desktop, the image files are buried somewhere in the Mobile Downloads.lrdata folder, eating up space on my internal hard drive. I'd love it if I could have them stashed away on my external drive, where all my other photos live.
So - my question is, does anyone have suggestions for how to go about moving them to that external drive, respecting the organizational structure I've got in place (folder + file naming convention)? They don't necessarily have to stay synced with Lightroom Mobile once I've started organizing inside of Lightroom on the desktop, although that would be nice. Or is this a ridiculous and convoluted way of getting images into Lightroom on the desktop? How are other people handling this kind of scenario? I'm not averse to something script-y, like AppleScript or maybe a Hazel recipe, but I could use some suggestions for getting started in the right direction.
As an aside, this all started for me when a) I bit the bullet and switched to Lightroom at the beginning of the year (the writing was on the wall, way before Apple announced they were killing it), and b) I started shooting with an Eye-Fi card in my Fuji X100S. Unless I'm shooting RAW (which I rarely do with that camera), it's so easy to sync images wirelessly over to my phone, and seems redundant to then import images off of the card into Lightroom.
Anyway, thanks for any suggestions you might have.

I want to take all of the photos off of my computer and put them on an external hard drive. If I am in lightroom and plug in my external hard drive, if i just move all the folders over to the external hard drive does take them off of my comptuer?
Also, what I want to do is make one folder for each calender year along with the edits made to the photos. So, If I back up my catolog and move it over with the photos, that means that all of the edits I made on those photos will stay with those photos?
With having all my photos off the computer, if I wanted to reopen a folder from my external hard drive through lightroom, will they will automatically open with all the edits still done to them?
Point 1: yes Lightroom will move them from your computer to the external. However I wouldn't recommend doing this, I would copy the files from the computer to the external using your OS and when you have verified the copy is ok and you have "Updated the folder location" in Lightroom then you can delete the folders from your computer.
Point 2: You can do this manually in Lightroom using the Sort options to achieve the older you want or craete a new catalog and import from your current one and at the import stage move the files to new folders with date order.
Point 3: yes it will but you will not be able to "work" the files that are on the offline drive unless you have generated Smart Previews.

Lightroom Mobile & Lightroom Web?

I have looked into these programs however, I have a few questions about them. I know it isn't actually uploading the Raw file, therefore, is it uploading Smart Previews? How big are smart previews? Am I able to edit them as if I had the actual file on Lightroom Mobile or Lightroom web? Also, what do I do when I have filled up a Smart view preview with the 20GB of storage? Delete the Smart View previews from my Mac version? When I save the changes I've made on Lightroom web or Lightroom Mobile, it will automatically sync with the desktop versions without telling it to do anything?
I've never built Smart View previews. Is there a quality difference that is noticeable while editing? That way I don't make a decision that doesn't look as good on the original one. I can zoom in the same and everything on a Smart View and it will look as if I have the real file? Or can I set how big my Smart Previews are?
I seen something about collaboration on Lightroom Web, does this mean that my friend who also has Lightroom can go in and work on a file I've made?

How big are smart previews?
- about 1mb when I last looked
Am I able to edit them as if I had the actual file?
- pretty well. Think of it as equivalent to Quick Develop - good enough ball park adjustments
What do I do when I have filled up a Smart view preview with the 20GB of storage?
- Not sure. If you have the Photo bundle (PS+LR) there isn't a storage limit
It will automatically sync with the desktop versions without telling it to do anything?
- yes, that's the beauty of it
I've never built Smart View previews
- When you sync a collection, LR sends smart previews - as you happen to know. But for using for using LrM/LrW you don't need to know that background information because all LrM/LrW smart preview activity happens behind the scenes.
Is there a quality difference that is noticeable while editing?
- I regard adjustments as ball park, not final. I might share the pics on FB or email them to a friend, but review them on a colour managed monitor before I might print them. The advantage for me is that I've had time on the train to contemplate how I want the picture to look, and then in the pub I have made those ball park adjustments. So I've saved time, and when I am back chained to the desk I can focus more on the final fine tuning.
I seen something about collaboration on Lightroom Web, does this mean that my friend who also has Lightroom can go in and work on a file I've made?
- LrW doesn't have adjustments.
- When you share a collection with someone, they only have favourites and comments, so LrW is more about sharing a shoot with someone who might want to choose which pictures they want. When you get back to your desktop, you can see their favourites and comments, and can easily select the ones they want
- As the account owner, when you review a collection in LrW you get the Pick/Reject flags in your browser and can use the P / U / X shortcuts. It's a bigger screen than your iPad/Phone, and colour managed too (though the lack of CM on mobile devices doesn't matter if you remember that you're doing ball park adjustments that save you time later).

Lightroom mobile cannot import from the imported from camera kit.

Hi,
I am new to Lightroom mobile and trying to make a new collection from the camera kit.
1.I have imported photos using my camera kit from an sd card. (file format is raw)
2.There are the imported photos on my ipad visible.
3.On Lightroom mobile, I made a collection.
4.On the menu, I could see "Add From Camera Roll".
5.As I clicked "Add From Camera Roll", I can see "All Imported","Last Import" and "Magazine".
6.I could see one of the imported photos as the thumb nail photos of "All Imported" and "Last Import".
7.So, I clicked "All Imported", but it shows no photos with the massage "There are currently no photos to show".
8.I tried "Last Import", and it was same.
The question is :
Did I do something wrong or camera kit imported photos are not yet supported on Lightroom mobile?
Thank you for reading and
thank you in advance for the answerers.

For the version 1.0 we don't support the direct raw import on the device. Only jpg, png etc. - Guido

Lightroom mobile et refus de synchronisation

Bonjour, lightroom mobile installé sur mon ipad me demande de libérer de l'espace et refuse de synchroniser mes collections avec LR desktop… est-ce sur l'ipad qu'il faut faire de la place ou est-ce sur le cloud adobe qu'il y a un problème ?
merci de votre aide

Même question pour moi mais après qqes clics sur google je pense que ce n'est juste pas possible. Lightroom mobile ne peut se synchroniser qu'avec un seul catalogue donc une machine. Une alternative pour travailler sur un même catalogue sur 2 machines c'est de passer par un outil tiers qui synchronise les catalogues des 2 machines via réseau entre 2 utilisations d'une machine à l'autre.
Lightroom mobile n'intervient pas dans la manip apparemment ce n'est fait que pour les smartphone/tablettes

Lightroom Mobile - sync 2 computers?

Hi there,
I have 2 computers - 1) iMac, which is my main computer, and 2) MacBook Pro which I drag around with me everywhere. I'd welcome the opportunity to sync the catalog on my iMac with my MacBook Pro, so that I can edit & retouch images while on the road. Can this be done using Lightroom Mobile? If so, how? When I try to sync a catalog on my MacBook Pro I'm greeted with the included image:
What exactly does this mean? To me, it appears that what's currently being synced to LR Mobile will be replaced/overwritten by the catalog on my MacBook Pro. I don't want this. I'd like them to be in sync. I don't need the entire catalog to be synced, just the collection that I'm currently working on. Help?
Thanks,
JeffSP

With the current Lightroom Mobile version you can only have one catalog connected with your Adobe id. When you decide to switch catalogs, Lr desktop will come up with the "Change sync catalog"- message. When you confirm to sync the new current catalog your previous catalog data will be replaced with new one.
Hope that answers your question.
Guido

I brought Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5, is Lightroom mobile included or do I have to pay an additionnal fee?

The question says it all. I brought Lightroom back in july 2014 and I started using Lightroom mobile on my cellphone without understanding that it was only 30 days trial. Now it is expired and I cannot find any info on wether Mobile is supposed to be included into the desktop version of Lightroom or not. Any help is welcome!
Thanks

No there is not, but LR 6 is probably just around the corner and if you sign up for the Photography Plan for $10/month then you’ll get LR5, now, and LR 6 when it is released and whatever releases after that as long as you keep paying. In other words you won’t have to pay the $80 upgrade for your current serial-number LR 5 to the serial-number LR 6 if you are a member of the CC version.
Obviously $10/month is $120/year and that is more than $80 once, for LR 6 upgrade from your LR 5, but you’re also getting LR Mobile and Photoshop for the $10/month.
