Adobe has demonstrated a new feature which will soon be available on the Lightroom iPad application, allowing users to directly import photographs from external devices. Check out the quick video demonstration below to see the process in action. To be able to use the new direct import feature within Lightroom you will need to be running the iPadOS 13.2 operating system or later.
Direct Import Feature
Once installed, the iPad Lightroom app will allow you to attach a camera or SD card directly to your tablet and import images straightaway without leaving the Lightroom app. This is a significant improvement for photographers who need to quickly edit and manage their photos on the go. Adobe has said that the feature will support RAW photo import, which is crucial for professional photographers who require the highest quality images for their work. Additionally, the ability to delete images from the attached device after import is complete will help users manage their storage more efficiently.
“Lightroom’s Tom Hogarty shares a preview of a new camera-to-tablet workflow that will allow you to seamlessly import photo files directly into Lightroom on your iPad, beginning with iOS 13.2. Keep an eye out for this update coming soon to Lightroom.”
Benefits for Photographers
The new direct import feature is a game-changer for photographers who rely on the iPad for their editing needs. Previously, users had to import photos into the iPad’s Photos app first and then transfer them to Lightroom, which was a time-consuming process. This new feature streamlines the workflow, saving valuable time and effort. For instance, a wedding photographer can now quickly import and start editing photos during the event itself, ensuring faster delivery of the final product to clients.
Moreover, the support for RAW photo import means that photographers can take full advantage of Lightroom’s powerful editing tools. RAW files contain more data than JPEGs, allowing for greater flexibility in post-processing. This is particularly beneficial for landscape photographers who often need to make significant adjustments to exposure and color balance.
As soon as more details are released by Adobe on when the new feature will be available in the Adobe Lightroom iPad app, we will keep you up to speed as always. This update is eagerly anticipated by the photography community, and it promises to make the iPad an even more powerful tool for photo editing.
