iPad Pro Out Now: iPad - Lightroom 5.3.0 with Photoshop integration

[SimonMScott]

Just noticed that the new Lightroom for iPad update (5.3.0) is out with Photoshop integration amongst other new feature!

Also, has a redesigned app icon.

I’ve updated the app but randomly doesn’t show the new version on the version history on App Store? Wondering if it got pulled already.

Anyone else updated?

Wondering if it got pulled already.

I wonder if Adobe plans on officially revealing a full version of Lightroom running on an iPad Pro at WWDC20 (for an iPadOS 14 demo or something).

Why the “iPad Pro” tag and in the title? There’s nothing specific about this update to the iPad Pro, unless I’m misreading something.

I just updated and got the new version - identified as V5.3.0 in "About" in Settings in the app. Seems more responsive on my 12.9 Pro. Great app (I have subscription).

I can’t confirm yet but it doesn’t seem to work if your cc library is made up of smart previews synced via lightroom classic.

ie, it won’t sync photoshop edits back to your original raw.

I hope I’m wrong. Anyone tried?

 

[SimonMScott]

Not tried that yet but hoping someone will be able to test out all the features or there will be a proper walk through...

Like @AutomaticApple said, I’m hoping/thinking this might tie in more to a larger update at WWDC

 

[cupcakes2000]

Ill be testing it later, at least the aspect I mentioned. If it works it’s the answer to a major workflow issue for me when using the iPad.
Of course- it’s unlikely to work 🤣🤣

@cupcakes2000 Keep us posted with your thoughts? Fingers crossed for you!

@cupcakes2000 I just noticed Photoshop has updated too and states the above? Not sure if that will help?

Also this:

And this:

Especially that last link shows the process of jumping back and forth between the applications well I think. Not sure if it would help with the Lightroom CC workflow...

Yes, thanks. All of them received updates, desktop versions too.
It gives me hope.
I’m doing a test but suddenly having WiFi issues that are making sync excruciatingly slow. Could also be a sync bug.

Cool! Hope it works out for you...please drop a mini review here if you get it working?

Damn.

The syncs do edit back and forth eventually. That’s great.

Like normal, the edit you do on a smart preview in lightroom cc reflects back on to the lightroom classic raw - this is what usually happens.

If you ‘edit in’ photoshop using the new method, it seems to create a separate psd from the smart preview. This then sits alongside the original in CC, and syncs back to sit beside the original in Classic.

But it doesn’t affect the original raw. Therefore you only get the edits on this newly created psd, which is a quarter of the original size. This is already a no no for my workflow. Frustrating that they can’t make it all work using smart previews. And resyncing back to the raw.

Please- if someone sees I’m wrong, let me know!! I’m having internet issues today which means the whole thing is a bit hard to test.

If you keep your raws in adobes cloud however, this seems to bring the ease of use between lightroom and photoshop almost on par with the desktop method.

What color space and bit depth does it allow you to use?

I'm the same as you: I use LR Classic as my main photo storage and sync collections (i.e. smart previews) to the cloud.

It should have been obvious before I saw the "only smart preview is available" message but I completely forgot that this would be an issue!

Basically, this means I can't use Photoshop to edit my photos on the go without changing my entire workflow and using LR on my iPad or LR CC on my desktop to ingest my photos (which would then put the full raw files in the cloud),

I'm not sure whether the convenience of being able to edit in photoshop on my iPad outweighs the advantage of just syncing smart previews to the cloud though

That sounds good in parts and bad in parts...

Hopefully once you have better internet connection these might be resolved slightly. It really would be a shame if you’re only able to work on smaller versions and not sync back to RAW.

What color space and bit depth does it allow you to use?

This doesn’t have much relevance to what I’m talking about. I’m talking about syncing edited smart previews to raws located in Classic.

As it’s a smart preview, the bit depth and the colour space would be defined by the original held in lightroom.

Photoshop on the iPad isn’t very advanced compared to the desktop version, just yet (not to mention, obviously, it’s only at version 1). I think it only allows for 8bit when you create a document. It still doesn’t even allow you to open a raw file directly within the app, which is ridiculous for aMy professional photo editor, not to mention photoshop itself.
(*edit- it may allow raws, I’m not sure. But not my .cr2’s!)

I’m a photographer though, for my style and workflow I just need photoshop for basic manipulation, occasional masks and layers, skin clean up, object removal.
These type of operations are already available.
I’m just a little annoyed the system doesn’t work in the same way that lightroom classic to lightroom CC works.
