Lightroom Mobile iPhone, Update for iPad Now Available

From Adobe:

Today we’re announcing the immediate availability of Lightroom mobile on iPhone. With the addition of the iPhone, Lightroom now seamlessly connects your desktop, iPad and iPhone.

As with iPad, Lightroom mobile on iPhone extends your workflow beyond your desktop. You can now use either your iPhone or iPad to review and edit images and sync the changes back to the Lightroom catalog at home. And now with the 1.1 update for iPad, you can also apply star ratings to your images and also use the custom order that you’ve set within your collections.

Once you’ve told Lightroom a collection of pictures should be sent to Lightroom mobile, the process is handled automatically and the pictures will become available on your iPad and iPhone once it is connected to the internet.

Lightroom mobile on iPhone utilizes Smart Previews to provide raw editing functionality to your smartphone. First introduced in Lightroom 5 beta, Smart Previews are:

• Based on the DNG file format
• Limited to 2560 pixels on the long edge
• Smaller versions original raw files
• Can be used to make adjustments even when the original files aren’t available locally
• Adjustments made to Smart Previews are applied to the original when the original files are available
