Lightroom on the iPad

Is there any way to get Lightroom on thhe iPad witohut having to sign up for it via Creative Cloud?
I do not need, or use Photoshop (I sold my copy after realising it had not been used in almost a year!), and I do not need to pay for storage for synchronising files as I have 14gb available for free via Dropbox.
I literally only use Lightroom to process my pics, and having it on the iPad would have been handy when away from home for more than a day or two.
I had not expected to get the app for the usual 0.69p or even £4.99 - but a monlthy subscription just totally undoes any chance of getting this app for my iPad.
Amazing that I can buy Lightroom for the Desktop as a standalone product - but not for the iPad.

so what you are saying it has been designed to leverage additonal income (to use the American phrase) from the outset.
CC is not the only cloud option out there - and to design to only work with Adobe Creative Cloud coould even be considered a breach of EU competition rules!
But thank you for explaining it to me.

    Hi,
    could you please give us some info on what kind of network you have?

  • Lightroom Mobile - Importing Raw Files from the iPad

    Using the iPad connection kit, I imported a few Raw files (CR2) into my iPad Air. When I tired to import them into a collection but Lightroom Moble did not "see" the raw images yet they are showing in the last imported album on the iPad. I've tried everything but Lightroom Mobile is not seeing them. Any ideas on this??
    Thanks

  • Lightroom Mobile will not open on the iPad 4.

    Lightroom Mobile will not open on the iPad 4. Tried everything. Have deleted and redownloaded the app 4x, restarted, updated iPad software. Nothing works. Enter name and password and the wheel just spins.

    Remove the app from your iPad.
    Power off your iPad
    Power on your iPad
    Make sure you have all iOS 7 updates installed
    Reinstall the app from the App Store.

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • Can I create black and white movies using the iMovie app for the iPad?

    This may sound strange, but I actually got to the stage of regretting ACR several versions back, because you ended up with nothing to do in Photoshop.  When you think how far ACR has come since then, you can see how Lightroom (with the same RAW conversion engine and features) is all most photographers need.  Adding ACR as a filter inside Photoshop was a master stroke.  I wonder who thought of it?  Russell Brown would be a good bet, but Chris Cox has made it clear on more than one occassion, that us lay folk dramatically underestimate what goes into coding, intergrating, and proving new features.
    BTW  That was not a straight line for some joker lauch into tails of woe about all the bugs that make it into final release versions.

  • D800 file compatibility:  Has anyone experienced problems with loading D800 files onto the iPad using the camer connector kit?  I have tried both RAW and JPEG using SDHC and CF cards and the iPad(3) doesnt recognise any of the files.

    Has anyone experienced problems with downloading Nikon D800 files to the iPad3 using the camer connector kit?  I have tried .RAW and JPEG (of various sizes) on both SD and CF cards, but the iPad doesn't recognise the files. 
    I have seen various forums discussing Lightroom and PSE updates that are required to process .NEF files but I can't find anything on the iPad/camera connector issue.
    I dont have any problem if I put the SD card straight into the SD slot in my iMac and Aperture will process the files fine, but I would really like to be able to download and view files on the move on the iPad.
    Any advice appreciated?
    PS - saw something that suggested the iPad had a maximum file size of 16mb for photos, not sure if this is correct, but I have tried smaller JPEG files and they still aren't recognised.

    If your camera supports both PTP and Mass Storage Device modes, it may be necessary to use both modes to import all media content.
    If some files do not import as expected using one mode, try switching to the other mode and importing again.
    Note: Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.

  • Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the iPad?

    Is there a way I can control the resolution of the photos I transfer to the New iPad? I just received the new iPad and would like to reduce the size of the resolution of the pictures I am transferring.
    I have storage capacity issue and I am only able to transfer about half the number of pictures I had on original Ipad with the same storage capacity. I upgraded to the New Ipad and I am transferring all the pictures I had in the original Ipad. I do not know why they are not all transfering since the New Ipad got full before all the pictutres where transfered. I used Itunes to transfer the pictures I have in Iphoto .  I assume this is because the New Ipad has a higher resolution screen and is allowing the pictures to be transfered automatically to the New Ipad at a higher resolution than the original Ipad?
    Any thoughts?

    I have a Canon 7D and the picture are large.
    Step my step instructions, would be great if it is at all possible.
    What you as is difficult without knowing your exact circumstances, i.e. what format pictures are you sending, do you shoot in .jpg or shoot in RAW and convert to .jpg, etc.  However, I don't see a way to quickly reduce the size of your image files without reprocessing your files in some manner.
    You could export all of the images to be loaded onto your iPad in JPEG format using Lightroom or Aperture and greatly lower the quality setting in the .jpg export.  If you do this make sure you export to a new folder. Lowering the quality can have a huge impact on the size of the image files.  If this worked it would give you the advantage of still having the largest amount of pixels allowable on the iPad 3.  I found that on my iPad 2 I could 'get away' with setting the quality to around 50 without seeing any obvious changes.  A higher quality setting may or may not be required on the iPad 3, time will tell and as my iPad 3 is going back I've not taken the time to put more than a few sample (800 or so) images on it.  They were exported at a quality setting of 60 and look as well as can be expected considering my defective iPad 3 display.
    If you images are already exported at a lower quality setting and are still too large the next step would be to reduce the dimensions of the image.  Lightroom has this capability.  I don't know about Aperture, but I assume it does.
    My normal workflow with my 7D:
    Take picture in RAW.
    Transfer to Lightroom 4 converting the Canon RAW files to Adobe's DNG format.
    Process images in Lightroom.  If any need further processing then export to Photoshop and/or Nik plug-ins.
    Export processed images that I wish to have on my iPad to my Pictures folder in .jpg format using a quality setting of 60.  I do not reduce the dimension of the image as I want the maximum sized images my iPad will allow.  As I only transfer a couple of thousand size is not an issue.
    Use iTunes to Sync photos to iPad.
    As was mentioned by a previous poster you could use Photoshop to bulk process the photos but that requires both Photoshop and a knowledge of creating a bulk action.  Not hard, but very confusing if you haven't used both Photoshop and the bulk process before.
    There may be other methods that could work for you but I am not aware of them.  With the breadth of experience of the members of this forum perhaps someone else could chime in with suggestions.

  • Upgrading to Cloud in order to use Lightroom on my iPad????

    I'm a Lightroom 5 user, the non-Cloud version.  I'm interested in using Lightroom Mobile on my iPad.  Do I have to use the Cloud subscription version of Lightroom on my Mac in order to use Lightroom on my iPad or can I stick to my old (non-Cloud version) of Lightroom 5?  If yes, are there any advantages of using the Cloud version of Lightroom on my Mac instead of the standalone (non-subscription) version I already have?

  • How to use Lightroom Mobile on iPad

    Tried everything. Tried to find Adobe Lightroom Mobile app in the Apple store. Couldn't find it. So downloaded to PC. Obviously, that doesn't help with the iPad. I have Creative Cloud membership. I just want to be able to view the slideshow that I made on my PC in LR on my iPad.  It should not be so difficult!
    I can't even find a "community" to enter this question in! Oh this sucks. Why is it so damned difficult? Am I that DUMB?

    LR Mobile is an adjunct to LR Desktop, not a standalone product, and does not have the power or storage to handle raw files.  LR Mobile synchronizes things from and to the Desktop version of LR through the Adobe cloud and the Desktop version is where the master catalog and original images reside.

  • Lightroom and an iPad viewer app

    Hello,
    I was looking at the iPad as a photography aid tool, for tethered shooting. Basically, I usually shoot tethered with a notebook. But there are situations, where it's just not doable to have the clients at the notebook. I'd rather use a WiFi Tether on my Canon camera ( wireless transmitter ) to the notebook... and use the notebook as a server for image viewing and rating by clients, who could be sitting further away from shooting location. Or, as it sometimes happens in interior design shoots, leave the notebook sitting in a room, while moving around with the camera. And the iPad would come with me, much easier and simpler to carry around than even a light notebook.
    Or even capable of solo tethering via WiFi a camera in JPEG+RAW mode ( I'm pretty sure viewing RAW files on the iPad would be asking for a bit too much ) for viewing, rating, and reviewing at 100% for focus, lighting and so on. Again, much more portable for location work than any notebook I can think of.
    I noticed Phase One released such an App, [url=http://www.phaseone.com/capturepilot]Capture Pilot[/url], to be used alongside Capture One.
    Is there word of any such app by Adobe to be used teamed up with Lightroom or solo ? :|

    Okay then, I was mistaken. I thought you asked the users in this user forum for a solution to a problem. But you wanted to talk directly with Adobe about a request that you have. I did not mean to bother you, I apologize. Maybe there's a forum for requests...

    I was hoping some tech wiz would have found an answer for you. The app below vibrates and flashes. Is that the kind of thing you're looking for? I'm not sure, because I am thinking you want your Mom's phone to somehow connect with ipad.
    If you read the link I previously posted, please read the comments also. Maybe a suggestion in one of those would help.

    $2.99Tap Tapby David Vondracek
    One of the dangers of hearing loss is the inability to hear audible alerts or warnings. Tap Tap is a brilliant app that allows those with hearing loss to react to sounds. When it detects noise, the app will vibrate and flash to alert the user. If the door knocks, or someone is speaking or shouting, the user will know. If the smoke alarm goes off, Tap Tap will vibrate and flash. The sensitivity can be adjusted and the app can run in the background if desired, though this may use more battery power. This is a must-have app for anyone with significant hearing loss.
