Lightroom Mobile Tethered

Does Lightroom Mobile include tethered shooting? If not, does anyone know if there plans to add it in a future update?

Lightroom mobile does not include any "tethering features" at this time.
As to what is planned? Who can say?

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!

List View in Lightroom Mobile

I have hundreds of collections in Lightroom Mobile. Scrolling through them with only three at time visible on my iPad takes forever. A list view and/or small thumbnail view would greatly help navigation.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

LR on your laptop is still a desktop version. It is just now able to upload to the cloud to replicate photos to either http://lightroom.adobe.com/ or an iPad that has LR Mobile installed.
I think you probably just want to change the LR 5 identity plate back so it doesn’t mention LR Mobile all the time. Hover over the identity-plate area, and click on the little triangle that appears, then choose Change Identity Plate.

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.

How to delete all photos in Lightroom Mobile?

I would like to delete all of the photos in my Lightroom Mobile photo library. A one-step procedure would be ideal.
For background: My Lightroom desktop catalog has tens of thousands of photos and hundreds of collections. When I was first getting familiar with Lightroom Mobile, I synced all of my photos with the service. This was a mistake; I did not realize that this would result in large amounts of data filling up my mobile devices (I thought the service worked more like Dropbox, OneDrive, etc., where photos are loaded as-needed). My Lightroom Mobile photo library is now much too large to fit on my mobile device, and even partially syncing fills up my devices immediately. I want to clear out my library and start over.
Individually selecting each image in the web interface is not a practical solution. It is also not practical to keep all of the photos in Lightroom mobile and then delete unwanted collections from individual mobile devices, since this would involve deleting hundreds of events from each mobile device each time I set up Lightroom Mobile. I would like to clear my library and start over with a small number of synced collections.
Any advice on how this could be done would be appreciated!

In Preferences > Lightroom Mobile, there's a Delete all Data button.

Lightroom 5.5 & Lightroom Mobile (iPhone 5) Sync Issues

So far I have been having nothing but issues getting Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom 5.5 to sync with one another. This is admittedly the first time I've tried this since I don't have the iPad version. I tried a sync yesterday for the first time from my phone and had an import of around 650 images and I had set Lightroom Mobile to sync only over Wifi. Started syncing ok, but I guess I roamed away from my Wifi for a bit and that completely messed up the sync process. Not only did it not finish the sync, but it somehow corrupted the app to the point where the entire app had to be deleted from the iPhone 5 and re-installed.
This seemed to just present more problems for Lightroom. There appears to be a default album called "iPhone Photos" that seems to never be found again through setup of a new instance of Lightroom. Instead, I my account is now up to "iPhone Photos 4" now in the count. In addition, only about 600 of the 650 photos synced up to the cloud and now Lightroom 5.5 for the desktop is stuck with 210 photos left to import and my computer has been sitting like this for close to an hour this morning. Is there anyway to troubleshoot what is going on or to completely reset one's Lightroom account to start this back to the beginning. So far this is a very frustrating update for something that sounded so promising to begin with.

Greule,
When the sync was interrupted on the iPhone the application suddenly crashed. I attempted to re-open and was presented with a crash report pop up window that asked me to send a report or not send. Unfortunately, that pop-up forced the app to shut down. I then tried a manual force close of the iPhone app, (double click the home button and swipe the app away from memory) and while the app appeared to re-launch itself from scratch, it ended up at that report send pop up and shut down. In the end, I was forced to go to the data management settings in the iPhone and attempted to delete the data and in the end, I deleted the app and re-downloaded from the app store to fix.
I did just do the "Delete all Data" from the Desktop preferences and it seems it cleared out the collection that was online. I tried to setup a new collection with the same name, but it appears that the Lightroom online library is preventing name duplication even when another catalog with the same name no longer exists in the account and ended up with an incremental number increase on the collection name. Now that the collection is gone, if I try to re-sync with my Photo Library from my iPhone will it act as a traditional Lightroom import where duplicate files are scanned for before import? Or do I have to manage that?
To be honest, I was hoping for this to be an advanced replacement of the Photo Stream feature from Apple, but is that what this is supposed to be?

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.

Why files in Lightroom mobile and files in the creative cloud not the same? idea- one place(stored date) for all application ??????

Lightroom Mobile is not a cloud storage service. You shouldn't treat it as a way of backing up your files. You are merely storing Smart Previews of your files in the cloud space, high-quality JPEGs of your files regardless of their original format on your desktop. The point is that they are there so you can continue editing them in a Lightroom-like environment even while away from your desktop/laptop computer. The files in Lightroom Mobile can only be used in Lightroom Mobile.
This is very different from what is offered by the Creative Cloud storage, which can be used to synchronize your files between any device (that can support the individual files).
The vast difference in how each service works and its intended use is why they are separate.

Presets in Lightroom mobile

I have a lot of custom presets that I love to use. Is there a way to import these presets into Lightroom mobile?

Unfortunately, not at this time. May be in the future.

Photos in lightroom mobile can't be seen when tapping on collections

I can't see photos from my online collections in lightroom mobile. The screen is empty when i tap on the collections on my phone or tablet.
But I can see those photos when I open the collection in my browser.
Anyone else with this problem or maybe a solution?
Thanks!

Since you have not so many Photos uploaded yet could you try to trigger "Delete Data" via the Lightroom Preferences->Lightroom Mobile. Thereafter re-sign-in and syc those photos again.
If that won't help please send me a LR Desktop diagnostig log - best as a private message with a downloadable dropbox link.
You can trigger the log via LR Desktop prefereneces -> Lightroom Mobile and when you hold down the alt key you will notice a generate diagnostic log button.

Syn collection in lightroom mobile?

How do I syn collections from different catalogs in lightroom mobile?

What you can do is to move (or copy) a photo form one collection to another. This can be triggered via the top right app menu item from grid view. Same menu is available when you open up an image for editing. Hope that helps. -Guido

I can´t synchronize more than one catalog in lightroom mobile

I am a professional photographer, shooting 100,000 pictures a year and I usually create many catalogs. I can not understand how Lightroom mobile does not allow me to sync multiple catalogs at the same time. Just leave me one and if I sync new one , it delete everything synchronized in the previous .
This requires an urgent solution.

Then you need to tell Adobe here: Submit a feature request or bug report

I have just upgraded from Lightroom 5 standalone to Lightroom 6 standalone. I appear to have been automatically enrolled for a 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. Reading the FAQ, it appears that after the expiry of the free trial, if I do not sign up and pay, I will only be able to view my pictures on the desktop but not edit them - surely this cannot be true. How do I un-enroll for the 30 day free trial of Lightroom Mobile and CC?

When I was signed into Adobe (which was a requirement for installing the upgrade), Lightroom 6 told my at the top right corner that I had 30 days left of my free trial of Lightroom Mobile and Creative Cloud. In parallel with this forum posting, I am chatting with Adobe support. he is away to find out how to prevent any synching with Creative Cloud during the 30 day free trial. I do not think that Creative Cloud is an application that gets installed on your PC. I think Lightroom 6 has it built in, and can use it if if you are signed up to the Creative Cloud and Lightroom Mobile (which I am for 30 days)
