“Adobe Lightroom, beloved by photographers as a tool to sift through hundreds of photos and perform light edits, is coming to the iPad,” Jefferson Graham reports for USA Today. “To get there, Lightroom is changing. Since there’s no easy way to get hundreds of photos into a tablet that doesn’t accept USB flash and hard drives, Lightroom is shifting to a new sign-on registration system that syncs the desktop and mobile Lightroom.”
“But to use the free-to-download app this way, you’ll have to pay $9.99 monthly,” Graham reports. “Adobe Lightroom software is still available as a stand-alone computer product for $149.99, says product manager Tom Hogarty. It can continue to be used by anyone on computers who doesn’t want to sign in with an Adobe ID.”
“The mobile app, which comes bundled with access to Photoshop, is part of Adobe’s Creative Cloud subscription plan, a venture started by the software giant in 2012,” Graham reports. “Once signed in, photos you edit on the desktop will be viewable on the iPad, and vice-versa, says Hogarty.”
