Anyone tries Lightroom on the ipad?

What do you think?

Still downloading latest LR. 51 min left.. eeek!

So far pretty awesome. So if I have 1200 photos from a wedding, I need to add all of them to a collection first and sync? I want to use my iPad to cull. That may take a long time to sync?

I was disappointed to see that it hasn't been released for iPhone yet.

Yup, that's exactly my issue with LR Mobile.

I currently use Photosmith on the iPad to wirelessly tether from my Eye-Fi. I cull while still on location. Then when I get home I import the raw's into LR and do a metadata only sync from Photosmith on the iPad to LR, which matches up star ratings, picks, etc., so I can instantly start editing on the desktop. Unfortunately LR Mobile doesn't support that workflow (yet) so I'll be sticking with Photosmith.

I took me 5 minutes of searching to find that I must update to latest LR 5.4 to enable a sync.
I would think that would be the first line in every story.

 

[The_Traveler]

OK, DLed 5.4, installed and there are no options to create synced collections or sync existing collection.

Any ideas about that?

 

[Robin Usagani]

right click one of your collections, you should see sync option. It may not be on the create a new collection menu.

 

[The_Traveler]

Nope, neither one.
My creative cloud app shows all apps up to date.
(it doesn't show a Lightroom CC but Lightroom 5.4)

 

[Robin Usagani]

It looks like you need adobe CC. Here is the FAQ.

Adobe Lightroom mobile ? FAQ

 

[The_Traveler]

I am a subscriber to Adobe CC and have the LR app for the Ipad.
and all my apps are up to date but still no sync.
LR Help Update returns a message that I have the latest version.
And I have Itunes on this PC and I synch from that

 

[Robin Usagani]

Hmm... not sure what is going on Lew. After you updated the LR, did you see a message on top about activating the LR mobile sync? You have to log in somewhere first on LR.

 

[The_Traveler]

No, got no such message.
Perhaps that is they key?

 

[The_Traveler]

That was it.
I looked through the preferences and found a new tab, signed in there with my Adobe username and PW and at least some of the things are working.
Thanks, Robin.

There's also a dropdown on the identity plate to sign in.

The Adobe YouTube channel has a bunch of helpful videos.
