So for now, you’re stuck with the Adobe color profiles. One negative here is that, as I understand it, Lightroom CC/Mobile are not compatible with custom profiles. When you create a new preset in Lightroom CC, it’lll be added automatically to Lightroom Mobile within seconds. You can, however, create presets or add them to Lightroom CC and they’ll port over to Lightroom Mobile. Lightroom Mobile for iPad will not currently sync with the presets that you have in Lightroom Classic. It’s great for culling while you’re traveling or just out at a coffee shop. It’s really that easy, and once you’re done, it’ll sync with your other Lightroom applications. In order to select your favorite photos you tap the star on the bottom right panel and then you simply swipe up to pick a photo and down to reject it. CullingĬulling in Lightroom Mobile is actually really easy and probably my favorite feature. From here, you can start culling your photos. The more backups you have, the better.Īlso, if you add a preset to your photos on import in Lightroom Classic, you’ll see that preset applied in Lightroom Mobile. That’s pretty impressive if you ask me! One great thing about this feature is that it gives you an additional backup. For a wedding with around 5000 photos, it took me about 30 minutes before I was able to access the entire wedding on my iPad. Once your photos are uploaded to Adobe’s Cloud, you’ll be able to access the files in Lightroom Mobile on your iPad. From there, you can select the folder to upload to the cloud by creating a collection. I start by importing photos in Lightroom Classic directly to a hard drive. Most professional users, however, are probably going to upload their images to a computer first, which is what I do. If your photos are in your iPad photo gallery, you can import them from there. Importing photos into Lightroom Mobile is fairly simple.

This should demonstrate whether it’s possible to use it for professional work or if it’s really only useful for amateur photographers and the occasional quick edit. For this review I wanted to thoroughly test Lightroom Mobile for iPad by attempting to edit a full wedding.
