Using Lightroom Mobile as travel downloader/editor

Friends,
I'm a new member of the Lightroom family.  I'd like to use Lightroom Mobile while traveling whereby I download RAWs (or RAWs and .jpegs) to my iPad, edit the images on my iPad, then easily sync/transfer those edits to my computer when I get home.  Is that possible?
Thanks!
Steve

I don't think it matters that the iPad isn't colour managed (and LrM isn't designed for it). OK, it might if you are brave or stupid enough to make exhibition quality prints without reviewing the image on a real computer. Instead the adjustments on the iPad are ball park, equivalent to Quick Develop, they give you time to think about the image, try out crops, rate and flag etc. Your time in front of a monitor is then spent on fine tuning.
An alternative workflow is possible if you get access to a real computer while you're travelling and if it has decent upload speeds. Log into your lightroom.adobe.com in a web browser and drag the photos from Explorer/Finder into a collection in the browser window. The raw file then uploads, and will be synced down to your computer when you get home. You can then make adjustments in LrMobile and avoid kludges like Syncomatic.
Personally, I think the small laptop is still the way to go. For now anyway.

  • When I use lightroom mobile it does not show all the photos in my camera roll.  I have 57 and it only shows 32

    WHen I use lightroom mobile  I have 57 photos on my iphone . I transfer them to my ipad and then I try to put them in Lightroom mobile from my ipad camera roll and only 32 show and transfer

    Same problem here, and with even fewer photos. There should be 14 photos (per the LR collection info), but when I view on my iPhone (5s), only 11 appear. They do all appear on my computer.  I've tried the following to make it work on my phone:
    Creating a new collection and importing there. It says one photo is in the collection, but none actually appear.
    Completely shutting down and rebooting the iPhone.
    Deleting and re-downloaded the app.
    None of these have worked.

  • How to sync the video to my iPad using Lightroom Mobile

    HI,
    I wonder how to sync the video to my iPad using Lightroom Mobile. At the moment seems those video files have not been uploaded. I got all my still images downloaded to the iPad except video files.
    Hope someone here can help. I am trying to use Lightroom to replace iPhoto. This is the only thing bothering me.
    Thanks.

  • I have Lightroom 5.5 as standalone app on my laptop and I want to use Lightroom mobile too. But I am not an Adobe CC subscriber. Can I use LR mobile? Right now it's telling me it's on trial and I have only 17 days left.

    I have Lightroom 5.5 as standalone app on my laptop and I want to use Lightroom mobile too. But I am not an Adobe CC subscriber and I don't have Photoshop CC. Can I use LR mobile? Right now it's telling me it's on trial and I have only 17 days left.

    But I paid for my Lightroom 5.5, LR Mobile is an app for LR5, isn't that unfair not to allow me to use LR Mobile? Adobe should change this policy.

  • Using Lightroom Mobile to sync photos to desktop – proper workflow?

    Just wondering what people suggest as a workflow for importing photos taken on a cameraphone into a Lightroom library.
    I want the photos to be saved into the same folders on my hard drive that the rest of my photos go into (Pictures > 2014 > 8 > 3 etc). Using Lightroom Mobile and syncing with the desktop app works well, but the files aren't saved inside my library, are they ...
    Is there a way i can do this without physically importing them?

    Hi,
    it would be interesting to know exactly what you are doing here.
    Does it mean that you upload the images from your Lr Desktop?
    It might take a while before the sync is done.
    Which version of Lr are you using?
    If you compare Lr Mobile with lightroom.adobe.com - is there any difference?
    Does it help to update Lr Mobile to 1.2.1?
    Thanks,
    Ignacio

  • I own lightroom 5 how can i use lightroom mobile

    I own lightroom 5.4 and I have a license.  How can i use lightroom mobile?
    Do I have to pay for CC for this feature?
    Thanks Brian

    One additional Note. One of the things you can do is to try Lightroom mobile free for 30 days.

  • Can you use lightroom mobile to share your catalog on another computer?

    Can you use lightroom mobile to share your catalog on another computer?

    What you can do is use Lightroom Web via your browser on the other computer. You go into your browser and log into your Adobe account at https://lightroom.adobe.com/. You can then:
    use the P, U, X keyboard shortcuts to add pick flags
    use numbers 0-5 to add ratings
    remove photos from collections
    let others see a collection by making it public, sharing to FB etc, giving them the Adobe URL
    add new originals to LrMobile by dragging them from the other computer's folders and dropping them in the browser - the newly uploaded file will be automatically added to your main catalogue. Try this, it's got lots of potential uses.

  • Those who purchased Lightroom outright can not use Lightroom Mobile without a subscription?

    This seems quite odd that the licence does not include the Android platform and Adobe force the purchase of their CC subscription.

    Your final point about losing one's catalog if the internet goes down doesn't make sense to me, if I understand you correctly.
    My catalog remains on my PC along with the LR software.  LR Mobile uses the internet to sync some of the information stored within it with mobile devices.  If I lose the internet I lose communication between the devices but not my catalog.
    I'll try to clarify. To use Lightroom Mobile, a Creative Cloud Photography Plan is a minimum pre-requisite costing (about £8 a month where I live). If that is your only license agreement, if you do not own a perpetual license of Lightroom, I can see subscription ending scenario being triggered in the event of an extended internet blackout or a combination of events the designers did not think of. This is an interesting readRe: Top Ten Questions About Creative Cloud.
    Take 3 scenarios, all without a perpetual license:
    a) you do not own a perpetual license and are on a trip, a field trip, without internet access for more than 7 days and you are using LR on a laptop, the 7 day period grace gets triggered. Let's assume that you are offline for more than 14 days, you might very well loose access to your catalog but not to your files unless you get internet connection (good luck if your visiting certain parts of the world)
    b) you stop paying your subscription, you lost access to your catalog
    c) for reasons now unknown to us we loose internet connectivity for a month or the Adobe servers are unreachable, you lost access to your cataog
    What is in your catalog? You keywords, collections, saved prints, possibly books, and crucially any adjustments made to your files. So loosing your catalog = loosing all your hard work.
    I have been on trips with extended periods without internet connectivity but had my camera, laptop and LR installed on it; photography was the whole point of the trip. Without a perpetual license I would have lost access to my catalog more than once. As for c) not happening, I am old enough to remember the year 2000 problem and the mad rush to fix all of this computer programs that only supported 2 digit years and were not meant to have been in use 40 years after they were wrote.
    I fail to understand why we have to design systems that must have access to the internet on a regular basis. It makes the internet a single point failure.
    To sum up, you must own a perpetual license not to suffer a subscription ending scenario.

  • 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.

  • Using Skype Mobile while traveling in Europe

    I have a Verizon Samsung Fascinate with Skype installed.   I have bought credits.
    I will soon be traveling to Belgium and France.  I have been told by Verizon that my phone will not work in Europe.  However, when my husband talked to a representative from Skype, he was told that, with the Skype credits, we would be able to use our phone in Europe....   Please explain the discrepancy in what we were told by the two representatives from the 2 companies.
    If there is something special we have to do in order to use our phone in Europe, please let us know what it is.
    Thank you

    --- At the risk of sounding  technologically uninformed I don't understand the acronyms you used for phone compatibility in Europe. I have an unused iPhone 4 I had AT&T "unlock" for me (I understand there's no real way to check stateside whether the unlock process was actually successful, but I'll go with the assumption it worked for now) BTW AT&T website provides a form you submit and they'll reply within 48 hrs. Took 3 hrs for me, I assume because I have another phone under contract with them, so no harm no foul for them.
    ---  Anyway ... I visited various blogs trying to find out the best process to acquire a SIM card for France. It's complicated as the saying goes. So I googled the question what about Skype?
    --- I use Skype-to-Go from US to call Europe. Very cool, they provide a local # I dial and it connects me for little cost. Calling cell phones is pricyer than landlines. I can use Skype-to-Go from ANYWHERE in the US on one of three authorized phones.
    --- My question is: Is there a similar process FROM Europe to US?
    --- Can I use the Skype App to dial a phone in the US from the existing AT&T US iPhone without incurring roaming charges- and if YES, HOW?
    OR Can I use my old unlocked iPhone with a SIM card from France to call US and Euro #s? if yes which provider do you recommend? Preferrable one purchased in US so it is pre-authorized and ready to go upon arrival.
    OR do I need to use the iPad camera-driven Skype function that requires previous arrangments to ensure that the recipient is at her computer also?
    --- The subtle differences have never been clear to me ...
    Thank you!

  • Using lightroom mobile for ipad

    My subsctiption ends in five days. I would like to export these finished pictures into my ipad so it does not stay with lightroom. However I do not see an option to save these pictures in "camera roll" or anywhere external from the program itself. Does anybody have an idea how to export these images?

    If no one answers, Google can probably help.

  • Is use of Lightroom Mobile included with Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition?

    I am enrolled in the Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition. However; Lightroom 5.4 on my mac says I can only use Lightroom mobile for a 30 day trial period. It seems to me my Creative Cloud membership doesn't entitle me to the use of Lightroom Mobile. Is this indeed the case?

  • 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 have read a few post on this subject but I have not found the answers that I am looking for.
    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

    I bought Lightroom (not through Creative Cloud), i.e. I paid for the software outright.  I also have an adobe ID.  I thought that if I owned the software outright and had an adobe ID I could use Lightroom mobile.  However I have downloaded the app but it is the trial version.  Does this mean that if I want the non-trial version I need to purchase Lightroom through Creative Cloud?

  • 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
