Abobe has finally announced Lightroom mobile for iPad after a lot of people requested that there should be a mobile app for Lightroom as well. Lightroom mobile is currently announced for iPad and will come for iPhone too in the upcoming days. Lightroom mobile offers a lot of different options that you can use to edit your photos and images on the go.
Lightroom mobile import images directly from the iPad’s camera roll. It also shows different sharing options so that you can share the edited image or photo on social media. You can even use slideshow feature for all the images in your library.
Another interesting thing about Lightroom mobile is that it automatically syncs all the images to Lightroom 5 on your PC. But there is a catch.
