The subject line kinda says it all…. I started looking into this a few years ago and never really pursued it…. Thinking it’s something I want to explore for travel…. Any and all thoughts and input appreciate!
@northy@anker70 LR mobile works terrifically on ipad. I just finished an iPhonePhotography class on editing with LR on iPhone and iPad. It really improved my editing and I only use my iPad. It was what gave me the idea of editing my flashback photos last month.
@northy@ankers70 I haven't used PS on my iPad but I have used LR for mobile fairly often. It works in pretty much the same way as LR desktop. It would never replace my desktop workflow but it is extremely useful, especially when I am traveling.
@ankers70@northy This gets confusing. To be precise, Lightroom Classic is for desktop or laptop, the app on your phone or tablet is Lightroom for Mobile. However, there is also Lightroom CC which is a cloud based service that spans your desktop, web and mobile devices and requires storage space for your images in the cloud, which costs $. I find my needs met by Lightroom Classic (desktop) and Lightroom for mobile.
@jyokota The short answer is yes, but anytime you sync you are using cloud storage. Your basic subscription to Lightroom/Photoshop, the photography plan, comes with 20GB of cloud storage which doesn’t take long to use up if you sync. You can pay extra for more storage if you wish. If working across platforms is important to you then you probably need to look at a Lightroom CC subscription.
@cdcook48 I do pay for the photography package on LR and I only sync when I'm traveling and using an alternate system than my home one. Thanks for the response -- I have never tried iPad editing but might give it a try!
@northy hello! i was going to start a thread about using LR for photo editing on iPad and found your thread when i did a quick check before launching my own!!
Where did you land with this. i've actually not yet got an iPad but i will soon as i'm planning some travel next year - but wanted time to have a play first.
@brigette hi Brigette…. I love LR on iPad and use it a lot…. Definitely for travel…. And even at home when i don’t feel like hauling out the laptop…. PS on the iPad is a different story… it works - and is great for touchups that need a bit more than LR, but i find it a pain for anything complex…
Overall, I’m pretty happy with the iPad approach…. I used to lug my laptop on trips and while it is small and light, it feels like a brick compared to the iPad…. Very freeing to be able to manage almost completely without it🙃
@northy hi Northy - you're lightening fast!! thanks that's really helpful. i'm only on LR - i'm actually still LR perpetual and i need to get into the cloud - i've been dragging my heals on this for so long - not wanting to spend the money! but now that i need to update my Macbook and also get an iPad - i think now is definitely the time.
I really like the idea of the portability of an iPad
On your Mac laptop what version of LR are you using.
Jeesh i need to get myself out of the last century!!
@brigette on my laptop i use LR classic…. I use mobile on the iPad…. I have no idea whether or not i can get them to sync…. I’m definitely of the last century when it comes to tech!
