In the past, I must admit, I’d almost given up on importing via the Lightning port, because even loading thumbnails before importing is agonizingly slow. The bright spot here is Apple’s new Lightning to SD Card adapter, which supports USB 3 speeds when transferring images from a memory card to the iPad. The edits apply non-destructively, and Lightroom bypasses the RAW issue by converting RAW images to Adobe’s DNG (Digital Negative) format during sync. If you primarily use Lightroom on the desktop as your editor of choice, it’s more common to flip the model around: Import photos into Lightroom CC on the Mac, sync them using Creative Cloud, and then work on rating and editing the images using the Lightroom mobile app on the iPad at your leisure. However, that JPEG becomes the edited version if you were to continue editing it in Photos on the Mac, for example, you’d be working with the JPEG version, not the RAW version.Īnother thing to keep in mind, although it’s not a surprise, is that the iPad Pro doesn’t offer color management or alternative color spaces-you get sRGB and that’s it. That edited version shows up as the image on your Mac and other devices-it’s not a separate copy, which is created when you edit in other apps. You don’t edit the raw image itself on the iPad, but changes you make are applied to a JPEG version the Photos app creates and saves with the original. The closest to a seamless experience is shooting raw and using iCloud Photo Library. (If you do plan to edit, I recommend shooting in RAW+JPEG mode to work with a higher-resolution original.)
So, when you edit on the iPad, you’re not taking full advantage of the editing possibilities RAW formats offer.
(If your camera doesn’t shoot in RAW mode, or you shoot only in JPEG formats, this point won’t hold you back.) The RAW files transfer to the iPad, but any edits you make are applied to the thumbnail preview the camera creates to display on its LCD. One shortcoming for photographers is unchanged: there’s still no system-level support for RAW formatted images. Removing a bystander from a photo in Lightroom mobile (left) using Adobe Fix (right) in Split View. Lightroom mobile and Adobe Fix can run side-by-side, and they can both access the same libraries via Creative Cloud Sync, enabling you to send an image from Lightroom mobile to Fix to perform some spot healing, a feature missing in Lightroom mobile. The ability to multitask in apps that support it can also be helpful. Before and after using the Apple Pencil to lighten the right side of the face.
