OK, it's been three years now, do you think there is a need to redo this video? Ps and Lr have changed and I would like to see the upgrade and to see if your thoughts have changed. Hmmm.....
Yes, Lightroom CC mobile is amazing. I don’t have the biggest library, so have been able to accommodate all my photos with their 1TB plan. So I can even access photos I took in 2003 on my phone or iPad at anytime, if there’s a good wifi connection. All my professional work is done on my iPad Pro (The 2017 model). For jobs where I need to remove the background I use Affinity Photo. Which I have found for masking works just as well as Photoshop. One amazing feature of CC worth mentioning is the search. It’s like searching for images on Google, except all the search results are your own photos.
I still prefer lightrorom classic and photoshop on my desktop..BUT Lightroom mobile gives me the ability, while on set, to quickly edit a photo for a model or client, giving them a quick preview of my final look. And this has been invaluable.
Got into photography in a more serious capacity a little over a year ago, and LR mobile really helped with those first steps. It was because of it that I decided to get into the CC suite, which is now something I practically use every day.
Hi... I like the way you do your videos. I always found it hard to like LR mobile :) but... I always keep trying things :) So after watching I thought I'd give it another try but ran into a dealbreaker straight away. Maybe I just did something wrong but is it true that the mobile app doesn't download all the Smart Previews during the sync process? When I start the app it syncs and the collection matches the number of photos which are on my laptop but when I start culling on my iPhone it downloads the photos which are displayed and when I scroll down it downloads the next photos. The syncing process says it finished so it just looks like it only syncs certain data but not the actual Smart Previews. Do you have any insights regarding this issue? Because if this is how Adobe does it, it would be possible to sync multiple weddings and then work on them in an Airplane or when I am on holiday without a data connection.
I found your channel when putting together my Wine Country Camera 150mm system for my Tamron 15-30mm G2. I was envious of all the attachments he threw in for you. I love my Tamron 15-30mm G2 but the attachment I wish i had had available on multiple occasions is the 77mm ring attachment. I don't know how much time it would take to move the casing from one lens to the other but I suspect that it wouldn't take any longer than changing the lens provided the 77mm attachment was already in place. If needed, I could carry along my old Nikon 300s body which I believe is a good body for telephoto purposes, wildlife etc... but my reason for this message is in regards to workflow, I'll break it down, quickly. My goal is to not take up any more room than necessary on my devices. I'm shooting with Nikon z6 I have the Adobe 4 package with PS, LR, LRCC + CREATIVE CLOUD. Typically my flow goes as follows, 1) shoot, 2) scroll through in camera and filter out any bad images and delete. 3) Download onto laptop or pull them up on my tablet when I'm mobile but only download what I will be editing. Also, my camera body is set to save Raw + Fine JPG. Ok, so far this system keeps my tablet operating freely. On my laptop, a gamer Asus and fairly new, I will have my initial download to my photos. From their I'll drag photos as needed to edit in one of the 3 applications and then I'll save it to the cloud. I edit the JPG copy when I'm editing, usually for IG and FB for now. I save the raw file for more important edits. 1st ?, Should I be dragging everything to the cloud as a 2nd backup source or just what I'm working on at the time? 2?, Also, when I am on lightroom in my tablet I can't seem to locate images that i saved from photoshop to the cloud on my laptop. 3?, Also, can I download LRCC onto my Samsung S4 tablet? 4?, Also have you heard if the mobile version of photoshop is ready yet or is that what PS mix is all about? I wasn't impressed by PS mix. Any other thoughts you have regarding anything, I'm interested. I have an external hard drive for backing everything up as well. Finally, I'm a student of film days and I took a long break since 2001, I'm about up to speed on things but I still am having difficulty with presets. Photoshop is not my strength, and I'm color challenged to make things even trickier. Often when people are talking about different subtle colors in an image, I can stare side by side and it's simply lost on me. I've gotten by, but I'm definitely a pure shooter and I see more in textures and balance and depth. Thanks for all the great videos.
Great video! Would love to see more videos/tutorials on mobile workflow. Being able to create/edit content with a small formfactor like the iPad is such a great thing.
Warning! You must sign up and provide CC info for recurring charges after the trail. Be forewarned, the following day (March, 14th) applies a charge of $141.00. What happened to the times where something free is actually that... Now they have my personal info for free. Hopefully my experience will help others. Good Luck Photographers! Edit. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would love to learn from others on the site.
Until iOS supports local storage management and file transfers properly you should stick to LR Classic. There is also a consistency issue between synced files. I've had numerous images that look completely different on mobile compared to what I edited in LR Classic. In my experience, cloud syncing is just not consistent yet. I might sound like a downer but if Apple fixed these crippling flaws I would buy a ipad in a heartbeat.
I would love to see you talk about how you export out of Lightroom CC for either print or web publication. Maybe a full work-flow video. Soup to nuts. Thanks!!
I don't use Lightroom mobile working solution but after watching your video I will be adding to my workflow whilst working on location so thanks for the heads up. Just like to say that I enjoy your channel. Thanks James. N
Thank you for these tutorials, Ted! I have been a long time LR desktop user and only recently (maybe six months ago) started using LR mobile when they fleshed out the app. I also got into LumaFusion thanks to Henny's videos. I shoot a lot of drone video and photos using DJI products and for some reason my 8-core 64GB RAM desktop chokes on DJIs 4K video but my 2017 iPad Pro handles them better than I would have believed before I tried it. I love learning how other people use these tools so please, keep these coming! It still surprises me when I find a neat feature that I didn't know existed when I started using the app, like all the keyboard shortcuts for LumaFusion. I enjoy your non-tech posts as well and have been a long-time fan. Keep up the great work.
Here is my issue: I'm not a big cloud fan. Relying on fast bandwidth to work on my images seems like an extra layer of what can go wrong. Plus we now have lightning fast tablets. We can do pretty much all we want on a tablet. The tablet needs to occupy the realm of what the laptop did: Having a remote ability to do tethered photography, cull and, yes, bring your presets, to preview as close to your final image on the road as you would have at your workstation. When you get home, you can just copy your images and catalog from where you were at and pick up from there. Now adobe using the cloud to sync remotely? I can see the value in that, bit it should not be your only option. What I need fro, LR mobile is: 1) tethered shooting to see my image on a big display like the ipad. 2) ingest into a specific catalog. 3) rename images to coincide with the catalog and project. 4) do initial culling and rating, 5) Ballpark to fine tune looks while on the road, have the ability to send proofs (IOS makes this such a pain as far as organizing, perhaps LW mobile can create a proofing output dir). 6) Using syncing to sync to a catalog at home or generate said catalog at home. When I get home the big data transfer of GB's of RAW or DNG images can happen there where they are archived on the desktop, backed up, and then maybe tweaked for final look on a large calibrated monitor. Does this workflow jive with anyoen else. Granted I'm still stuck on a pre-lightroom Mobile workflow. Please correct if not out flat educate me on how to do this. thank you!
For color sensitive work it's probably not the best idea to be switching from phone to ipad to desktop. not everything is calibrated similarly, and it may vary from device. Same with brightness. Maybe not an issue for most people, but for printing it matters. I'm interested in being able to cull and sort photos with CC though. That seems like a much better use for my workflow.
Niptin for most workflows those differences wouldn’t matter. Likely most people won’t send final files to clients or print from a mobile device but you *could* if you needed to. Also Apple products have really good Color right out of the box so it’s mostly a non-issue in that ecosystem.
@@B_vids I appreciate the response, and you're right: for most work you wouldn't show a client a final image like that, or print off of a phone. And I'm sure apple has great color as well. But, in the fine art world, not having a device that can be calibrated by taking into account the surrounding ambient light or or be tweaked still means there is inaccuracy in color production when printing. Color reproduction changes from printer to printer, camera to camera, editing process to editing process. The professional photographers I know don't use apple screens to edit photos (though they are quite good). They use monitors specifically made to deal with 100% (or as close as mechanically possible) color accuracy. For most people, they won't notice or care, but for printing, I would leave the color editing to the desktop and transfer file storage to the other mobile devices.
I recently got a Samsung S9+ and was pleasantly surprised that it offers an Adobe RGB colour space. I don't even have an Adobe RGB monitor so using my phone to preview prints is an interesting workflow. 😃
I've been trying a LR mobile centered process for the last year. It's been somewhat frustrating, and I often ended up preferring my laptop. After a spill on my laptop, I'm forced to choose between LR mobile only and spending a bunch of money that I'd rather not spend. That's a long winded way of saying that I'd love LR mobile tips and tutorials!
Actually, I really like to use Lightroom mobile. Sometimes I edit raws from my camera if I don't have my PC but also, my phone has a raw mode. The auto of my phone is quite bad but with the manual and Lightroom mobile I can take very usable photos
There’s something much more intuitive and natural about editing or doing creative tasks on your phone. I think it’s the tactile nature of it and obviously it makes the process more freeing. Anywho, totally agree with ya Ted! LR Mobile and the syncing rocks! Reminds me I gotta go reorganize my catalogs. They’re getting sorta out of hand! 😆
I’ve gone 100% to LR CC mobile. I love not having to carry a laptop with me all the time! It’s odd to see other companies like Skylum and Capture One refusing to acknowledge the importance of mobile. Reminds me of the days when Microsoft laughed at Apple when they came out with a phone!
Enjoying your videos on mobile workflows. I would love to move to mobile for everything. please continue anything on the devices, accessories, software, etc. Perhaps Mobile Mondays???
I'd love to see a video that is basically a "how-to" on post-processing on the iPad. Maybe like a walk through of your work flow on an image. I just purchased my iPad pro. Originally got it for more graphics related things but I'll definitely be using in my photography as well.
Currently using Affinity Photo on my iPad (Pro, 2017 version) due to its Photoshop-alike capabilities. But I’m keeping an eye out for the iOS Photoshop release. One thing I like about Affinity is its ability to access multiple cloud storage platforms. It doesn’t lock you into a proprietary one.
Yes! I actually use Capture One Pro 12 for Sony to import to a session, deciding there which are “keepers”. I do some initial edits there as well (I prefer Capture One color rendering over LR CC). Export to CO and import to LR CC and that is my cloud storage library. I do further tweaks in LR CC, and just love that it syncs to cloud. I can share an album as a website and control if users can just see or can download. I can do Instagram posts. Since I never used classic LR this workflow gets me to my destination nicely.
Just add the photos in Lightroom classic you want to be able to edit on mobile to a collection and sync it. Now you can edit and cull on mobile. Don't want to be stuck paying for Adobe storage as CC is already way expensive.
After watching your videos on using mobile apps on the iPad, I bit the bullet and picked up a new iPad, installed Lumafusion and switched from LR classic to LR CC. Man, I couldn’t be happier! Thanks for all of your videos! I’d love to see more tips and tricks on mobile workflow with the iPad both for photos and videos.
Hi Ted, totally agree with you, Lightroom CC is awesome. Just one question: do you manage to calibrate the screens of your ipad and phone to get accurate colours? Thanks, John.
Awesome Ted this is very intriguing I've been longing to get away from using the desktop for editing pictures and use an iPad to complete the work. Like others have mentioned I'd love to see how you are picking photos and getting them to the iPad for edits. I'd like to see you do a shoot. If I do a small photo shoot with my three year old just trying to get him in a pose I want or certain look could take 150-200 photos depending on what I'm going for. How are you working through a large number of photos are you importing them all or just the selects that you may edit? I'd like to see more on that work flow. Also are you still then backing up to your desktop or NAS storage because I'm sure you being a professional you must need terabytes of storage not just the 100 GB offering from Adobe. I feel like I would blow apart that 100 GB of storage in one year so how do you manage that? Thanks for all of the advice it's great!!!! And one last question about color can you calibrate your iPad screen if you plan on printing from it or do you leave the printing to the desktop/laptop and just do digital from the iPad?
Hi Ted, would you mind expanding on how you get media into the iPad. You mentioned the DJI/LaCie combo and I’m curious about the workflow for that. Thanks for the tutorial
Hey. I am already using Lightroom Mobile. I love it. I use it when I am out in the field. I love it so much that I had switched from a windows 10 tablet to an android tablet (I use an IPhone but can’t afford an IPad). Awesome video. Thanks for the content.
Hey Ted! I have used Lightroom Mobile before and haven't minded it too much. What I am interested in however is my normal workflow is my good ol copy of PS CS4- could you give reasons from a photographer standpoint why I might want to switch and use Lightroom over regular Photoshop? I'm happy with Photoshop and know a lot of photographers enjoy Lightroom, but I've never really found reasons to make the switch. Thanks for the video, Ted :)
LR is meant to be a streamlined version of PS for the common tasks every photographer needs. Instead of adding a layer for WB, then contrast, then sharpening, etc., you just drag a slider for each. However, for major retouching, you still need to take the file into photoshop.
Love that I found your channel a few months ago.I use LR Classic, can I STILL use my IPAD to process?? There must be different work flows??Or is it restricted to just one?? I would enjoy you going more in depth especially with the NEW IOS coming out. Greatly appreciate your passion and love for what you do along with sharing it with your viewers. THANK YOU!
Wax Wings Photo I completely agree with you man. I think they’re just built on 2 completely different architectures and codes so it’d be hard to have them communicate smh.
I literally have CC installed just for that and to re-import the photos so I can export full resolution files to the cloud. (I will guiltily admit though I tried using it a bit the other day when I hadn't synced a preset created on my phone the other way...and it wasn't terrible)
Adobe needs to give users more control over cloud storage. Trying to delete files and folders and have the delete persist across all devices is cumbersome. iPad OS with a file system has helped considerably. Do your image culling from a large shoot outside of the app. Lightroom wants to upload everything to the cloud and that slows everything down.
I ditch my computer and use only Lr CC on my iPad pro 12,9"... such a pleasure to use! Just hope Adobe will include some features like panorama merge, HDR, and the possibility to bring presets from files directly in the iPad (now you need to import them from Lr CC on computer to synchronize and have them on iPad). Adobe should think the iPad app as a standalone version, not an extension to the desktop Lr CC... same with the yet to come Ps iPad.
I will probably go this route soon. One of my concerns relates to privacy. I wonder how much information about how you edit photos is being captured and retained by Adobe. If they could get large numbers of photographers using this I would think the data from that could be used to automate photo processing in ways we haven’t seen.
Awesome video Ted, really informative. Thank you. What I'm most curious about is how do you archive and back up with your new workflow? Is it that you import all your RAWs into your Hardrives first? Do you do that from a PC or the iPad? Also with Sync I'm not fully sure but how do you choose what you want to sync to adobes cloud and what you don't want to- especially since you say select images. And since you are editing on the ipad, what do you do when you are finished editing? How does that affect your catalog especially if you may want to go back to a previous edit? The editing is definitely very possible but the workflow around it I'm very confused about and would love to know how it can be done to access the laptop/computer as little as possible. I know it's a lot of questions but thanks in advance
Ted, love your videos. I do photography as a serious hobby, lately I was thinking on going purely mobile but I have some doubts about the batch processes you can do on the desktop versions of LR... like batch renaming and applying presets or adjustments to your photos on import, what about the mobile side of things? It would be nice to know what is your take on the matter. Thanks!
LR CC is great and the few issues I have with it still revolve around not always knowing where the original file is-if I import on the iPad then see it on desktop, does the iPad version convert to a smart preview to save space? Also, I often finish an image on the iPad and want to be able to download the full version... please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think this is possible if you’re working with a smart preview. Ted, If you have presets in Classic, will they also work in CC? I was looking to purchase some RNI presets and I see they have separate purchases for both Classic and CC. I most want them for classic, but would love to have them everywhere... I guess I should probably contact their support!
Hi ! Thanks for your video. Very well explained. Do you loose any quality while exporting files from the camera to the iPad with the Wifi? In my case I use the app from Sony cameras (imaging edge app). Thanks !
thank you, Ted! Really cool tips. I switched to Lightroom mobile a year ago, but still can’t create stable workflow. I thought that the normal time to use Lr will be during back flight, but it’s always something that more important or you really tied too much. What about you? When do you work with stills? Thank you!
It seems like you only have a few GBs of photos synced via adobe cloud at any given point in time. I’m most curious about where the majority of your photos live and what the process of moving photos from Lightroom CC to this other storage medium looks like. I initially subscribed to the one library mentality and synced multiple TBs of RAWs into Lightroom CC, but quickly discovered the performance limitations of the desktop edition of Lightroom CC. Having a structured process of moving photos out of Lightroom CC so only the most recent photos are living there would be a great help to me.
Ted, I'm a huge fan of syncing with LR, especially for online sharing. One frustration that I have is that you can only sync one catalog. I use Lightroom classic and when switching from computer to computer it's a pain to change the catalog you're syncing. Is that a non-issue with mobile? Thanks!
I am not convinced. For me it's mainly an issue of: - powerful mobile devices being prohibitively expensive - internet connections can't handle the RAW files in a reasonable amount of time
I've used it before when it first came out. It wasn't terrible on a Samsung Note Pro 12 tablet for the kind of usual adjustments you would be doing in LR (WB, sharpening, exposure, etc.) With these proxies Ted is talking about it should be fine on almost anything. Also, back then it wasn't meant as a replacement for a desktop, it was meant as an on the go tool. This was a few years ago though and I imagine it has only gotten better.
I picked up the new 12.9” iPad Pro and started using LR Mobile again and was amazed at the differences between the app today and just a year or two ago. Shoot with the Sony A9, full RAW and have been doing all my basic editing on the iPad the last few weeks. It’s extremely handy to not have to be tied to my PC and the feature set of the mobile version is so very close to the desktop Classic version.
I found this post after starting to explore Lightroom mobile. The one question I have (that I can't find an answer for) is what happens when you run out of cloud space? Am I forced to buy more, or does Lightroom have an option to edit locally?
David Apodaca you don’t need to “switch” per se. They work in tandem. If you have an adobe subscription plan you just login in the mobile and desktop apps and choose what you want to sync. Doubtful most people would want to fully switch to LR mobile exclusively. The storage and backup workflow would be limiting and cumbersome. Keep your main RAW files on your sync’d desktop (with maybe some imports in LR mobile while travelling).
What about screen (colors and all) calibration? It's the only thing that holds me from switching to mobile. Since I'm always on the road, I would love to have a tablet and still be able to edit my photos without worrying about color rendition, exposure and all. Thanks a lot!
@@B_vids that's what i read and it is pretty amazing, but what about the screen brightness and temperature. I guess the second one falls into accurate color representation. But for brightness, is there a way to adjust it knowing where to set it to have same results on a printer or on your other calibrated screen? Thank you for answering!
Wouldn’t be any different than finding the right brightness on you desktop monitor really. If the display is good the brightness would effect colour representation and you probably wouldn’t, in most cases, send to clients or print straight from the mobile device but do a cursory look on the desktop first.
@@B_vids I used a calibration system for my monitor so it tells me what the brightness should. That's my concern for the Ipad or any tablet since from what I've read you can't calibrate it. I guess I could do some test to find the right spot tho. Thanks
@@Memo.esperanza Honestly if your desktop display is the correct brightness then you could probably just hold your iPad next to it, match the brightness, and make note of what level it needs to be at. Make sure it set it back to that level before doing any critical exposure work or sending to client / print. Honestly being travel friendly the iPad is meant to be used in all kinds of lighting conditions including very bright situations so that will throw off your working brightness level anyway.
Wish they would just make a combined photoshop and Lightroom. Right now affinity photo does pretty much everything those do in one app with no subscription crap. Hopefully adobe gives us a real reason to switch a not just gimmicks
Hey Ted...thanks for the video. I am curious how you export quality photos from Lightroom CC to clients as it seems to have very few options to adjust quality, size, etc....also have u taken a look at the shortcuts app to have photos go directly into the Lightroom CC app instead of having to hassle with Apple Photos area before import? Would be great to see a video on your import process from SD card to Lightroom CC on iPad and what u do to organize files, any other backup used, etc. Thanks
First I would like to thank you for the content you create on this channel! I really like your videos, they taste different from the rest of youtube and I love the approach of art behind photography. I would like to see the full workflow! How is the whole process of moving the photos to the ipad, editing them, and then when you get back home how do you sync files and edit from Lightroom mobile to classic Lightroom. In other words, I travel a lot and I need to back up the pictures taken, usually stay on an SDD disk. I wish I could back up with lightroom mobile and start making small edits, keywords and reviews right away. I hope I have made myself understood. Thank you
I’ve been doing everything on Lightroom mobile for the majority of me being involved with photography because I love touching and feeling with my fingers when I edit. It’s super intuitive. I tried pc and just hate it lol
@@deeyammy783 doesn't feel quite like a mobile device though. My current Laptop is touch. I have issues with my back and neck so switching from Laptop to iPad has allows me to take a powerful, large screen, mobile oriented device that is only sliiiightly adding weight to the bag. It feels like the right device for my needs.
Hi Ted-Thanks for your great videos! I am going full on Lightroom CC and wondering if you are now using the Apple shortcuts app to import raw photos...if so can u make a video that will show us the easiest wat to use that and maybe your workflow with Lightroom CC?-much appreciated!
I'm using the Android version of lightroom, I don't know if that makes any difference, and honestly it's not my favorite. Polarr is my absolute favorite, but it only supports exporting images as a PNG whereas Lightroom can support TIFF files.
After moving to iPad I had to ditch Capture One and return to Lightroom unfortunately... I hope 🙏 either Capture One gets an iPad & cloud version or Serif creates a companion app for Affinity Photo 😃
Ted thanks for a great video. I’ve used Lightroom mobile a little and one issue I’ve found is that (I think) can’t rename my images as I import them into the mobile version. Is there a way around this shortcoming? Thanks again. Bobby
With brilliant one time purchase softwares like Luminar (upgrades included) and free mobile editing tools like Snapseed, I don't understand paying a monthly fee for tools used for photo editing. It definitely has it's pros for working professionals but for the general public, the Adobe product is monthly drain on the pocket
Great video!! I been using my iPad Pro as well for all my edits. I would love to see a video on your work flow. Importing photos, edit then export. I currently bring RAW photos into iPhoto on iPad. Then open Lightroom and pull those photos in. I then delete them off iPhoto then make my edits. Then bring them back into iPhoto and upload them into my saved clouds home storage. I don’t want to save all my photos in my Lightroom cloud. Would like to see your work flow, not sure if I can skip the iPhoto part and just bring them into Lightroom directly on iPad. Also do you sell your presets? Looking to download some and yours looked great! Loved the filed aged looked.
Ted, thanks for this. I have a quick question. Is your workflow on the ipad dependent on a decent internet connection or can you continue to edit and then sync with the cloud when you get the internet connection back? I like the idea of moving my workflow over to the ipad but I work in some quite remote locations where the internet is not always a given.
Ted I am going totally mobile. One question I have not been able to get answered is .. If I import photos from my camera onto my iPad and then into LR iPad .. do the full size images remain on the ipad or are they replaced with smart previews once the image has been sync’d to the cloud?
Hey Ted! Thanks for the vid! Sometimes I do travel and I really would love to get away from the travel-with-laptop thing. But if you're shooting RAW ya gotta store shots and clean off cards whilst out and about. How would YOU personally go about traveling with a FF camera, and dealing with several thousand frames at a time with just the ipad and camera? Would you add a Gnarbox or something? In short, how would your travel workflow look without a laptop and with a lot of files to deal with? Maybe that's an idea for a vid? thanks so much!
I realise this is a year old but wouldn't you connect your memory card into the tablet (with WiFi on) , open lightroom move photos to cloud. Clean card. Repeat during trip if need be. Get home, sort through photos on Laptop /PC.
I'd be happy so see tutorials on both LR and LF on the ipad pro! I myself can't decide whether to get the new 11 och 12.9 inch, do you edit photos and videos comfortably on the 10.9 inch model, or is the larger real estate of the 12.9 important in your opinon? Thanks in advance!
I’ve noticed photos go quite blurry while sliding an adjuster, and then sharpens up again after I’m done. Does this happen for everyone else?? Can’t find anything about it
I dont have constant internet access so until apple allows me to copy files on and off my ipad, using it for any real work is a no for me regardless of how good the apps are.
It's great ..... on workshops I have processed most of the best images by the time we travel back to base ..... and I've rarely improved on it when re-done at home. I use sync rather than cloud which works fine. The Photoshop fix add on is as good as full PS for content aware heal/clone. When Adobe release the mobile PS the I can't see the point of a laptop. Finger/pen editing is brilliant.
There used to be a full version of Photoshop on iOS about 8 years ago, but they stopped supporting it. I spent $19.99 on that app. I felt cheated out of my money.
The way I see using LR mobile is to take pictures of my cousin's wedding coming up and then download them to my phone and use a fuji printer to print out little square instant pictures.
OK, it's been three years now, do you think there is a need to redo this video? Ps and Lr have changed and I would like to see the upgrade and to see if your thoughts have changed. Hmmm.....
Once you get the most done in camera, Lightroom mobile is all you need. Affinity Photo is also powerful if you want PS function on iPad.
Yes, Lightroom CC mobile is amazing. I don’t have the biggest library, so have been able to accommodate all my photos with their 1TB plan. So I can even access photos I took in 2003 on my phone or iPad at anytime, if there’s a good wifi connection.
All my professional work is done on my iPad Pro (The 2017 model). For jobs where I need to remove the background I use Affinity Photo. Which I have found for masking works just as well as Photoshop.
One amazing feature of CC worth mentioning is the search. It’s like searching for images on Google, except all the search results are your own photos.
These videos are so well composed they translate beautifully to large screen TVs
I still prefer lightrorom classic and photoshop on my desktop..BUT Lightroom mobile gives me the ability, while on set, to quickly edit a photo for a model or client, giving them a quick preview of my final look. And this has been invaluable.
so you use both? Ive had Lightroom for years but this mobile/syncing kind of still makes my headspin .
Got into photography in a more serious capacity a little over a year ago, and LR mobile really helped with those first steps. It was because of it that I decided to get into the CC suite, which is now something I practically use every day.
Hi... I like the way you do your videos. I always found it hard to like LR mobile :) but... I always keep trying things :) So after watching I thought I'd give it another try but ran into a dealbreaker straight away. Maybe I just did something wrong but is it true that the mobile app doesn't download all the Smart Previews during the sync process? When I start the app it syncs and the collection matches the number of photos which are on my laptop but when I start culling on my iPhone it downloads the photos which are displayed and when I scroll down it downloads the next photos. The syncing process says it finished so it just looks like it only syncs certain data but not the actual Smart Previews. Do you have any insights regarding this issue? Because if this is how Adobe does it, it would be possible to sync multiple weddings and then work on them in an Airplane or when I am on holiday without a data connection.
I found your channel when putting together my Wine Country Camera 150mm system for my Tamron 15-30mm G2. I was envious of all the attachments he threw in for you. I love my Tamron 15-30mm G2 but the attachment I wish i had had available on multiple occasions is the 77mm ring attachment. I don't know how much time it would take to move the casing from one lens to the other but I suspect that it wouldn't take any longer than changing the lens provided the 77mm attachment was already in place. If needed, I could carry along my old Nikon 300s body which I believe is a good body for telephoto purposes, wildlife etc... but my reason for this message is in
regards to workflow, I'll break it down, quickly. My goal is to not take up any more room than necessary on my devices.
I'm shooting with Nikon z6
I have the Adobe 4 package with PS, LR, LRCC + CREATIVE CLOUD. Typically my flow goes as follows, 1) shoot, 2) scroll through in camera and filter out any bad images and delete. 3) Download onto laptop or pull them up on my tablet when I'm mobile but only download what I will be editing. Also, my camera body is set to save Raw + Fine JPG. Ok, so far this system keeps my tablet operating freely. On my laptop, a gamer Asus and fairly new, I will have my initial download to my photos. From their I'll drag photos as needed to edit in one of the 3 applications and then I'll save it to the cloud. I edit the JPG copy when I'm editing, usually for IG and FB for now. I save the raw file for more important edits. 1st ?, Should I be dragging everything to the cloud as a 2nd backup source or just what I'm working on at the time? 2?, Also, when I am on lightroom in my tablet I can't seem to locate images that i saved from photoshop to the cloud on my laptop. 3?,
Also, can I download LRCC onto my Samsung S4 tablet? 4?, Also have you heard if the mobile version of photoshop is ready yet or is that what PS mix is all about? I wasn't impressed by PS mix. Any other thoughts you have regarding anything, I'm interested. I have an external hard drive for backing everything up as well. Finally, I'm a student of film days and I took a long break since 2001, I'm about up to speed on things but I still am having difficulty with presets. Photoshop is not my strength, and I'm color challenged to make things even trickier. Often when people are talking about different subtle colors in an image, I can stare side by side and it's simply lost on me. I've gotten by, but I'm definitely a pure shooter and I see more in textures and balance and depth. Thanks for all the great videos.
Great video! Would love to see more videos/tutorials on mobile workflow. Being able to create/edit content with a small formfactor like the iPad is such a great thing.
Warning! You must sign up and provide CC info for recurring charges after the trail. Be forewarned, the following day (March, 14th) applies a charge of $141.00. What happened to the times where something free is actually that... Now they have my personal info for free. Hopefully my experience will help others. Good Luck Photographers!
Edit. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I would love to learn from others on the site.
Hope you disputed that charge with your credit card company
What’s to dispute? When the trial ends you get charged. It tells you that ahead of time.
Jason Yes, this is a warning. I caught it in time. It's in the fine print.
All the best!
Vince Edward The way I read it, it charges you the day after sign up and then if you cancel before the trial ends, it then refunds you the annual fee.
Excellent tutorial Ted! Downloading LR Mobile now. Cheers.
Until iOS supports local storage management and file transfers properly you should stick to LR Classic.
There is also a consistency issue between synced files. I've had numerous images that look completely different on mobile compared to what I edited in LR Classic. In my experience, cloud syncing is just not consistent yet.
I might sound like a downer but if Apple fixed these crippling flaws I would buy a ipad in a heartbeat.
I would love to see you talk about how you export out of Lightroom CC for either print or web publication. Maybe a full work-flow video. Soup to nuts. Thanks!!
Yeah I would love to see that too.
My issue is that when you export from Lightroom mobile, it exports at 72 dpi. That’s not very good for printing.
Thanks for sharing this Lightroom Mobile tutorial with us. I really learned a lot from it.
I don't use Lightroom mobile working solution but after watching your video I will be adding to my workflow whilst working on location so thanks for the heads up. Just like to say that I enjoy your channel. Thanks
James. N
Thank you for these tutorials, Ted! I have been a long time LR desktop user and only recently (maybe six months ago) started using LR mobile when they fleshed out the app. I also got into LumaFusion thanks to Henny's videos. I shoot a lot of drone video and photos using DJI products and for some reason my 8-core 64GB RAM desktop chokes on DJIs 4K video but my 2017 iPad Pro handles them better than I would have believed before I tried it. I love learning how other people use these tools so please, keep these coming! It still surprises me when I find a neat feature that I didn't know existed when I started using the app, like all the keyboard shortcuts for LumaFusion. I enjoy your non-tech posts as well and have been a long-time fan. Keep up the great work.
Here is my issue:
I'm not a big cloud fan. Relying on fast bandwidth to work on my images seems like an extra layer of what can go wrong.
Plus we now have lightning fast tablets. We can do pretty much all we want on a tablet.
The tablet needs to occupy the realm of what the laptop did: Having a remote ability to do tethered photography, cull and, yes, bring your presets, to preview as close to your final image on the road as you would have at your workstation.
When you get home, you can just copy your images and catalog from where you were at and pick up from there.
Now adobe using the cloud to sync remotely? I can see the value in that, bit it should not be your only option.
What I need fro, LR mobile is:
1) tethered shooting to see my image on a big display like the ipad.
2) ingest into a specific catalog.
3) rename images to coincide with the catalog and project.
4) do initial culling and rating,
5) Ballpark to fine tune looks while on the road, have the ability to send proofs (IOS makes this such a pain as far as organizing, perhaps LW mobile can create a proofing output dir).
6) Using syncing to sync to a catalog at home or generate said catalog at home.
When I get home the big data transfer of GB's of RAW or DNG images can happen there where they are archived on the desktop, backed up, and then maybe tweaked for final look on a large calibrated monitor.
Does this workflow jive with anyoen else. Granted I'm still stuck on a pre-lightroom Mobile workflow. Please correct if not out flat educate me on how to do this. thank you!
I would like to see some tutoria on workflow and so on, about Lightroom mobile
For color sensitive work it's probably not the best idea to be switching from phone to ipad to desktop. not everything is calibrated similarly, and it may vary from device. Same with brightness. Maybe not an issue for most people, but for printing it matters.
I'm interested in being able to cull and sort photos with CC though. That seems like a much better use for my workflow.
Niptin for most workflows those differences wouldn’t matter. Likely most people won’t send final files to clients or print from a mobile device but you *could* if you needed to. Also Apple products have really good Color right out of the box so it’s mostly a non-issue in that ecosystem.
@@B_vids I appreciate the response, and you're right: for most work you wouldn't show a client a final image like that, or print off of a phone. And I'm sure apple has great color as well. But, in the fine art world, not having a device that can be calibrated by taking into account the surrounding ambient light or or be tweaked still means there is inaccuracy in color production when printing. Color reproduction changes from printer to printer, camera to camera, editing process to editing process. The professional photographers I know don't use apple screens to edit photos (though they are quite good). They use monitors specifically made to deal with 100% (or as close as mechanically possible) color accuracy. For most people, they won't notice or care, but for printing, I would leave the color editing to the desktop and transfer file storage to the other mobile devices.
I recently got a Samsung S9+ and was pleasantly surprised that it offers an Adobe RGB colour space. I don't even have an Adobe RGB monitor so using my phone to preview prints is an interesting workflow. 😃
I use CC on desktop too. That way everything in cloud. I also use Affinity on ipad. Only $9.99 one time charge. I have the 1TB plan. Love it.
I've been trying a LR mobile centered process for the last year. It's been somewhat frustrating, and I often ended up preferring my laptop. After a spill on my laptop, I'm forced to choose between LR mobile only and spending a bunch of money that I'd rather not spend. That's a long winded way of saying that I'd love LR mobile tips and tutorials!
Great stuff, just moving to iPad with my workflow as well. Glad to have found this vid - subscribed.
I would be very interested in LR Mobile tutorials, especially on the topic of importing only selected photos into LR.
Actually, I really like to use Lightroom mobile. Sometimes I edit raws from my camera if I don't have my PC but also, my phone has a raw mode. The auto of my phone is quite bad but with the manual and Lightroom mobile I can take very usable photos
I would love to learn how you import, export, catalog, and archive your work flow using your iPad, thanks!
There’s something much more intuitive and natural about editing or doing creative tasks on your phone. I think it’s the tactile nature of it and obviously it makes the process more freeing. Anywho, totally agree with ya Ted! LR Mobile and the syncing rocks! Reminds me I gotta go reorganize my catalogs. They’re getting sorta out of hand! 😆
I’ve gone 100% to LR CC mobile. I love not having to carry a laptop with me all the time! It’s odd to see other companies like Skylum and Capture One refusing to acknowledge the importance of mobile. Reminds me of the days when Microsoft laughed at Apple when they came out with a phone!
Enjoying your videos on mobile workflows. I would love to move to mobile for everything. please continue anything on the devices, accessories, software, etc. Perhaps Mobile Mondays???
I'd love to see a video that is basically a "how-to" on post-processing on the iPad. Maybe like a walk through of your work flow on an image. I just purchased my iPad pro. Originally got it for more graphics related things but I'll definitely be using in my photography as well.
Currently using Affinity Photo on my iPad (Pro, 2017 version) due to its Photoshop-alike capabilities. But I’m keeping an eye out for the iOS Photoshop release. One thing I like about Affinity is its ability to access multiple cloud storage platforms. It doesn’t lock you into a proprietary one.
Yes! I actually use Capture One Pro 12 for Sony to import to a session, deciding there which are “keepers”. I do some initial edits there as well (I prefer Capture One color rendering over LR CC). Export to CO and import to LR CC and that is my cloud storage library. I do further tweaks in LR CC, and just love that it syncs to cloud. I can share an album as a website and control if users can just see or can download. I can do Instagram posts. Since I never used classic LR this workflow gets me to my destination nicely.
Just add the photos in Lightroom classic you want to be able to edit on mobile to a collection and sync it. Now you can edit and cull on mobile. Don't want to be stuck paying for Adobe storage as CC is already way expensive.
After watching your videos on using mobile apps on the iPad, I bit the bullet and picked up a new iPad, installed Lumafusion and switched from LR classic to LR CC. Man, I couldn’t be happier! Thanks for all of your videos! I’d love to see more tips and tricks on mobile workflow with the iPad both for photos and videos.
Hi Ted, totally agree with you, Lightroom CC is awesome. Just one question: do you manage to calibrate the screens of your ipad and phone to get accurate colours? Thanks, John.
Awesome Ted this is very intriguing I've been longing to get away from using the desktop for editing pictures and use an iPad to complete the work. Like others have mentioned I'd love to see how you are picking photos and getting them to the iPad for edits. I'd like to see you do a shoot. If I do a small photo shoot with my three year old just trying to get him in a pose I want or certain look could take 150-200 photos depending on what I'm going for. How are you working through a large number of photos are you importing them all or just the selects that you may edit? I'd like to see more on that work flow. Also are you still then backing up to your desktop or NAS storage because I'm sure you being a professional you must need terabytes of storage not just the 100 GB offering from Adobe. I feel like I would blow apart that 100 GB of storage in one year so how do you manage that? Thanks for all of the advice it's great!!!! And one last question about color can you calibrate your iPad screen if you plan on printing from it or do you leave the printing to the desktop/laptop and just do digital from the iPad?
Hi Ted, would you mind expanding on how you get media into the iPad. You mentioned the DJI/LaCie combo and I’m curious about the workflow for that. Thanks for the tutorial
Getting files on and off ios devices is the only reason I cant use ios for this. This is the main reason I was forced to use Android.
Horace Grimsby Luckily getting much better with iOS 13.
Hey. I am already using Lightroom Mobile. I love it. I use it when I am out in the field. I love it so much that I had switched from a windows 10 tablet to an android tablet (I use an IPhone but can’t afford an IPad). Awesome video. Thanks for the content.
Hey Ted! I have used Lightroom Mobile before and haven't minded it too much. What I am interested in however is my normal workflow is my good ol copy of PS CS4- could you give reasons from a photographer standpoint why I might want to switch and use Lightroom over regular Photoshop? I'm happy with Photoshop and know a lot of photographers enjoy Lightroom, but I've never really found reasons to make the switch. Thanks for the video, Ted :)
LR is meant to be a streamlined version of PS for the common tasks every photographer needs. Instead of adding a layer for WB, then contrast, then sharpening, etc., you just drag a slider for each. However, for major retouching, you still need to take the file into photoshop.
LR is mainly for organization and light editing.
2 out of 100 people found this helpful
Love that I found your channel a few months ago.I use LR Classic, can I STILL use my IPAD to process?? There must be different work flows??Or is it restricted to just one?? I would enjoy you going more in depth especially with the NEW IOS coming out.
Greatly appreciate your passion and love for what you do along with sharing it with your viewers. THANK YOU!
The fact that you can't sync presets in LRClassic is really annoying. I really don't want to install CC on my laptop just to do that.
That's not too say that I don't use LR mobile. I really like it. I just wish I had a better solution for presets
Wax Wings Photo I completely agree with you man. I think they’re just built on 2 completely different architectures and codes so it’d be hard to have them communicate smh.
@@ruffprophetproductions thing is that the rest of my catalog syncs fine with LR classic. The only thing missing is the presets
I literally have CC installed just for that and to re-import the photos so I can export full resolution files to the cloud.
(I will guiltily admit though I tried using it a bit the other day when I hadn't synced a preset created on my phone the other way...and it wasn't terrible)
@@ChrisUrbinsky having full res photos on my phone is really important these days. Also, getting phone photos back on my desktop is pretty great
Adobe needs to give users more control over cloud storage. Trying to delete files and folders and have the delete persist across all devices is cumbersome. iPad OS with a file system has helped considerably. Do your image culling from a large shoot outside of the app. Lightroom wants to upload everything to the cloud and that slows everything down.
Have to watch your Lumafusiion video. Really impressed with lightroom app have you ever tried Rush?
TomJoeSHOW rush is very stripped down whereas lumafusion is a full NLE
Niiiicceee, been hoping someone would do a solid video on Lightroom. I’m using Darkroom currently, and still learning it.
I ditch my computer and use only Lr CC on my iPad pro 12,9"... such a pleasure to use!
Just hope Adobe will include some features like panorama merge, HDR, and the possibility to bring presets from files directly in the iPad (now you need to import them from Lr CC on computer to synchronize and have them on iPad). Adobe should think the iPad app as a standalone version, not an extension to the desktop Lr CC... same with the yet to come Ps iPad.
I will probably go this route soon. One of my concerns relates to privacy. I wonder how much information about how you edit photos is being captured and retained by Adobe. If they could get large numbers of photographers using this I would think the data from that could be used to automate photo processing in ways we haven’t seen.
Funnily enough, I’ve been thinking about giving Skillshare a go so it’s great to see you could hook me up with a 2 month trial. Thanks, Ted! 😂😁
Now watch your credit card my friend. There are many reviews out there that say that Skillshare is a scam.
Awesome video Ted, really informative. Thank you. What I'm most curious about is how do you archive and back up with your new workflow? Is it that you import all your RAWs into your Hardrives first? Do you do that from a PC or the iPad? Also with Sync I'm not fully sure but how do you choose what you want to sync to adobes cloud and what you don't want to- especially since you say select images. And since you are editing on the ipad, what do you do when you are finished editing? How does that affect your catalog especially if you may want to go back to a previous edit? The editing is definitely very possible but the workflow around it I'm very confused about and would love to know how it can be done to access the laptop/computer as little as possible. I know it's a lot of questions but thanks in advance
My "workflow on my p20 pro is like:
taking a RAW photo - - > importing to lightroom for basic adjustments - - > VSCO for filters and stuff
Ted, love your videos. I do photography as a serious hobby, lately I was thinking on going purely mobile but I have some doubts about the batch processes you can do on the desktop versions of LR... like batch renaming and applying presets or adjustments to your photos on import, what about the mobile side of things? It would be nice to know what is your take on the matter. Thanks!
Thks for the tips,Im going full speed with the Pro to do all my editing....I would like to learn how you set up all you pre-workflow.
Could we get a video on your workflow with the lacie copilot. Nobody really shows how well it works with an iPad. 🙏🏻
LR CC is great and the few issues I have with it still revolve around not always knowing where the original file is-if I import on the iPad then see it on desktop, does the iPad version convert to a smart preview to save space? Also, I often finish an image on the iPad and want to be able to download the full version... please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think this is possible if you’re working with a smart preview.
Ted, If you have presets in Classic, will they also work in CC? I was looking to purchase some RNI presets and I see they have separate purchases for both Classic and CC. I most want them for classic, but would love to have them everywhere... I guess I should probably contact their support!
Hey Ted, could you put in a few words in the future about using the Apple Pen on the ipad for photos, particularly the adjustment brush. Thanks!
I love your videos and I love the way you talk! Congratulations, you are an "intelligent content creator"!
yep i agree
Hi ! Thanks for your video. Very well explained. Do you loose any quality while exporting files from the camera to the iPad with the Wifi? In my case I use the app from Sony cameras (imaging edge app). Thanks !
thank you, Ted! Really cool tips. I switched to Lightroom mobile a year ago, but still can’t create stable workflow. I thought that the normal time to use Lr will be during back flight, but it’s always something that more important or you really tied too much. What about you? When do you work with stills? Thank you!
Yeah! More mobile photo & video editing!
It seems like you only have a few GBs of photos synced via adobe cloud at any given point in time. I’m most curious about where the majority of your photos live and what the process of moving photos from Lightroom CC to this other storage medium looks like.
I initially subscribed to the one library mentality and synced multiple TBs of RAWs into Lightroom CC, but quickly discovered the performance limitations of the desktop edition of Lightroom CC. Having a structured process of moving photos out of Lightroom CC so only the most recent photos are living there would be a great help to me.
Ted, I'm a huge fan of syncing with LR, especially for online sharing. One frustration that I have is that you can only sync one catalog. I use Lightroom classic and when switching from computer to computer it's a pain to change the catalog you're syncing. Is that a non-issue with mobile? Thanks!
What’s your workflow for cataloguing or picking photos in CC? Not being able to compare photos drives me nuts
I am not convinced. For me it's mainly an issue of:
- powerful mobile devices being prohibitively expensive
- internet connections can't handle the RAW files in a reasonable amount of time
I've used it before when it first came out. It wasn't terrible on a Samsung Note Pro 12 tablet for the kind of usual adjustments you would be doing in LR (WB, sharpening, exposure, etc.) With these proxies Ted is talking about it should be fine on almost anything. Also, back then it wasn't meant as a replacement for a desktop, it was meant as an on the go tool. This was a few years ago though and I imagine it has only gotten better.
I picked up the new 12.9” iPad Pro and started using LR Mobile again and was amazed at the differences between the app today and just a year or two ago. Shoot with the Sony A9, full RAW and have been doing all my basic editing on the iPad the last few weeks. It’s extremely handy to not have to be tied to my PC and the feature set of the mobile version is so very close to the desktop Classic version.
Very helpful video Ted.
I found this post after starting to explore Lightroom mobile. The one question I have (that I can't find an answer for) is what happens when you run out of cloud space? Am I forced to buy more, or does Lightroom have an option to edit locally?
Any chance you would do a short tutorial on the proper way to switch over from Lightroom CC to Lightroom Mobile?
David Apodaca you don’t need to “switch” per se. They work in tandem. If you have an adobe subscription plan you just login in the mobile and desktop apps and choose what you want to sync. Doubtful most people would want to fully switch to LR mobile exclusively. The storage and backup workflow would be limiting and cumbersome. Keep your main RAW files on your sync’d desktop (with maybe some imports in LR mobile while travelling).
What about screen (colors and all) calibration?
It's the only thing that holds me from switching to mobile.
Since I'm always on the road, I would love to have a tablet and still be able to edit my photos without worrying about color rendition, exposure and all.
Thanks a lot!
Guillaume Lespérance iPads have excellent and totally sufficient colour representation.
@@B_vids that's what i read and it is pretty amazing, but what about the screen brightness and temperature.
I guess the second one falls into accurate color representation. But for brightness, is there a way to adjust it knowing where to set it to have same results on a printer or on your other calibrated screen? Thank you for answering!
Wouldn’t be any different than finding the right brightness on you desktop monitor really. If the display is good the brightness would effect colour representation and you probably wouldn’t, in most cases, send to clients or print straight from the mobile device but do a cursory look on the desktop first.
@@B_vids I used a calibration system for my monitor so it tells me what the brightness should. That's my concern for the Ipad or any tablet since from what I've read you can't calibrate it. I guess I could do some test to find the right spot tho. Thanks
@@Memo.esperanza Honestly if your desktop display is the correct brightness then you could probably just hold your iPad next to it, match the brightness, and make note of what level it needs to be at. Make sure it set it back to that level before doing any critical exposure work or sending to client / print. Honestly being travel friendly the iPad is meant to be used in all kinds of lighting conditions including very bright situations so that will throw off your working brightness level anyway.
Wish they would just make a combined photoshop and Lightroom. Right now affinity photo does pretty much everything those do in one app with no subscription crap. Hopefully adobe gives us a real reason to switch a not just gimmicks
Hi Ted, just a question you said you still use also the older version of the iPad, how about the pencil? Is the Apple Pencil 2 works on both? Thanks
When are those Lightroom Presets going on sale!? :-)
Hey Ted...thanks for the video. I am curious how you export quality photos from Lightroom CC to clients as it seems to have very few options to adjust quality, size, etc....also have u taken a look at the shortcuts app to have photos go directly into the Lightroom CC app instead of having to hassle with Apple Photos area before import?
Would be great to see a video on your import process from SD card to Lightroom CC on iPad and what u do to organize files, any other backup used, etc. Thanks
Would love to see more tutorials on Lightroom mobile as well as LumaFusion.
Was thinking about just using my iPad only for photo editing, what do you think? I have a slow 2011 MacBook Pro for backup.
Can you do a Lightroom mobile tone curve tutorial.
If you want Photoshop in mobile you could try affinity photo
First I would like to thank you for the content you create on this channel! I really like your videos, they taste different from the rest of youtube and I love the approach of art behind photography.
I would like to see the full workflow! How is the whole process of moving the photos to the ipad, editing them, and then when you get back home how do you sync files and edit from Lightroom mobile to classic Lightroom. In other words, I travel a lot and I need to back up the pictures taken, usually stay on an SDD disk. I wish I could back up with lightroom mobile and start making small edits, keywords and reviews right away.
I hope I have made myself understood.
Thank you
I’ve been doing everything on Lightroom mobile for the majority of me being involved with photography because I love touching and feeling with my fingers when I edit. It’s super intuitive. I tried pc and just hate it lol
Get a touch screen pc.. it's magic! lol
And it has been around for many years :)
@@deeyammy783 doesn't feel quite like a mobile device though. My current Laptop is touch. I have issues with my back and neck so switching from Laptop to iPad has allows me to take a powerful, large screen, mobile oriented device that is only sliiiightly adding weight to the bag. It feels like the right device for my needs.
Hi Ted-Thanks for your great videos! I am going full on Lightroom CC and wondering if you are now using the Apple shortcuts app to import raw photos...if so can u make a video that will show us the easiest wat to use that and maybe your workflow with Lightroom CC?-much appreciated!
Hi Ted - what capacity is your iPad?
Cheers
Doc
Have you tried the latest Pixelmator mobile or desktop apps? I haven't since my OS won't update haha, but I'm curious what you think if you have.
I'm using the Android version of lightroom, I don't know if that makes any difference, and honestly it's not my favorite. Polarr is my absolute favorite, but it only supports exporting images as a PNG whereas Lightroom can support TIFF files.
Thanks for the video. Please make a tutorial on your workflow from the dji copilot to the ipad.
After moving to iPad I had to ditch Capture One and return to Lightroom unfortunately... I hope 🙏 either Capture One gets an iPad & cloud version or Serif creates a companion app for Affinity Photo 😃
Ted thanks for a great video. I’ve used Lightroom mobile a little and one issue I’ve found is that (I think) can’t rename my images as I import them into the mobile version. Is there a way around this shortcoming? Thanks again. Bobby
With brilliant one time purchase softwares like Luminar (upgrades included) and free mobile editing tools like Snapseed, I don't understand paying a monthly fee for tools used for photo editing. It definitely has it's pros for working professionals but for the general public, the Adobe product is monthly drain on the pocket
Do you import directly to the iPad or do you import on your computer and have the smart preview come in on the iPad?
Can I use a standard, plain Jane iPad for this? Assuming I’m using a newer model, I don’t need to invest in an iPad Pro, right?
Great video!! I been using my iPad Pro as well for all my edits. I would love to see a video on your work flow. Importing photos, edit then export.
I currently bring RAW photos into iPhoto on iPad. Then open Lightroom and pull those photos in. I then delete them off iPhoto then make my edits. Then bring them back into iPhoto and upload them into my saved clouds home storage. I don’t want to save all my photos in my Lightroom cloud. Would like to see your work flow, not sure if I can skip the iPhoto part and just bring them into Lightroom directly on iPad.
Also do you sell your presets? Looking to download some and yours looked great! Loved the filed aged looked.
Ted, thanks for this. I have a quick question. Is your workflow on the ipad dependent on a decent internet connection or can you continue to edit and then sync with the cloud when you get the internet connection back? I like the idea of moving my workflow over to the ipad but I work in some quite remote locations where the internet is not always a given.
Lumafusion Tutorial ... YES pleeeaase ! :)
Thanks for this video! Great job
Ted I am going totally mobile. One question I have not been able to get answered is .. If I import photos from my camera onto my iPad and then into LR iPad .. do the full size images remain on the ipad or are they replaced with smart previews once the image has been sync’d to the cloud?
Hey Ted! Thanks for the vid! Sometimes I do travel and I really would love to get away from the travel-with-laptop thing. But if you're shooting RAW ya gotta store shots and clean off cards whilst out and about. How would YOU personally go about traveling with a FF camera, and dealing with several thousand frames at a time with just the ipad and camera? Would you add a Gnarbox or something?
In short, how would your travel workflow look without a laptop and with a lot of files to deal with? Maybe that's an idea for a vid? thanks so much!
I realise this is a year old but wouldn't you connect your memory card into the tablet (with WiFi on) , open lightroom move photos to cloud. Clean card. Repeat during trip if need be. Get home, sort through photos on Laptop /PC.
But can we trust an ipad screen with accuracy?
You have to turn off True Tone
I'd be happy so see tutorials on both LR and LF on the ipad pro! I myself can't decide whether to get the new 11 och 12.9 inch, do you edit photos and videos comfortably on the 10.9 inch model, or is the larger real estate of the 12.9 important in your opinon? Thanks in advance!
I’ve noticed photos go quite blurry while sliding an adjuster, and then sharpens up again after I’m done. Does this happen for everyone else?? Can’t find anything about it
I dont have constant internet access so until apple allows me to copy files on and off my ipad, using it for any real work is a no for me regardless of how good the apps are.
It's great ..... on workshops I have processed most of the best images by the time we travel back to base ..... and I've rarely improved on it when re-done at home. I use sync rather than cloud which works fine. The Photoshop fix add on is as good as full PS for content aware heal/clone. When Adobe release the mobile PS the I can't see the point of a laptop. Finger/pen editing is brilliant.
There used to be a full version of Photoshop on iOS about 8 years ago, but they stopped supporting it. I spent $19.99 on that app. I felt cheated out of my money.
Have you tried the Premiere Rush? If so how does it compare for video editing?
S11DJ agreed
The way I see using LR mobile is to take pictures of my cousin's wedding coming up and then download them to my phone and use a fuji printer to print out little square instant pictures.
How do you get real prints?
