Abode has announced the availability of its non-destructive photo editing tool Lightroom for mobile users on the iPad. Lightroom Mobile which will complement the desktop Lightroom app, will be available through the Adobe Creative Cloud.
Lightroom mobile is available as part of Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop Photography Program. For Rs 499 per month, photographers have access to the industry-defining features of Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC on the desktop and now Lightroom mobile on iPad.
The mobile version will simply be called Lightroom mobile, but it borrows elements from Lightroom 5 which allows photographers to sync edits, metadata and collection changes back to the Lightroom catalog on a Mac or Windows computer. It will also automatically import images captured on an iPad and sync back to a Lightroom catalog on the desktop. Photographers can work on images, even when the iPad is offline, for a truly portable experience. The app will sync photos between Lightroom 5 and Lightroom mobile. Synced photos can also be viewed from any Web browser.
“With the launch of Lightroom mobile, we’ve unlocked professional-class photographic workflows from the desktop,” said Umang Bedi, Managing Director, South Asia, Adobe System. “Lightroom and Photoshop redefined digital photography on the desktop and now, thanks to Adobe, photographers can perfect images, wherever they are and, via Creative Cloud, seamlessly synchronize them back to their desktop catalog.”
