Adobe updates Lightroom app for iOS and Android

Adobe has released a new version of the Lightroom mobile app for iOS as well as for Android devices. The new update brings improvements and new features for both the platforms. If you are an iOS user, you now get the ability to edit and share RAW images, while Android users now have the ability to shoot pictures from the app through a new Pro mode which basically adds manual controls. Lightroom v2.4 for iOS comes with a feature called RAW Technology Preview where the user doesn’t have to convert them into another format before editing. According to Adobe, You get all of the benefits of raw, such as the ability to change the white balance, being able to recover blown out highlights, access to the full range of colour information, as well as editing an uncompressed file, all using the exact same technology that powers Lightroom on your desktop. You also get the ability to perform local adjustments with linear and radial selections and as an add-on you can now use keyboard shortcuts with physical keyboards connected to iOS devices like the iPad Pro.

For Android users, the new Lightroom v2.1 brings manual controls to its built-in camera app so now you can control the shutter speed, ISO, white balance, and focus manually.There is also a new camera widget which can be added to a homescreen for quick access to the camera. The new update also adds the ability to export full-resolution files. The new Lightroom update for iOS and Android are currently available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
