Hello and welcome to our Epic Tutorial for Adobe Lightroom for Mobile on iPad.
If you want our review of this app check the link in the description and if this helps

Now before you can use Lightroom for Mobile you need to sign in to your Creative Cloud
account on both your computer and iPad.
Let's start with Lightroom on our computer.
Once you have downloaded the latest version of Lightroom, you need to click the Get Started
with Lightroom Mobile in the upper left and click Sign In and enter your email and password.
Next we need to create a sync collection that will sync our photos to the iPad app.
Click the + button ned to collections and choose CREAT COLLECTION.
Give it a name, click Sync with Lightroom Mobile and click OK.
Now we can drag some photos into it which will automatically sync and you can create
as many collections as you want.
Now let's open Lightroom for Mobile and sign in.
As soon as we are signed in to our creative cloud account on the iPad you can see the
collection we created is available in the collections view.
Now whilst the original on my iMac were RAW files, Lightroom for mobile pulls them down
as what they call smart previews which are 1-2mb files which is fine for editing, and
then your changes are synced back to your RAW files on your Mac.
If you tap your username in the upper left it reveals the sidebar and has my favourite
Adobe feature, Presentation Mode which shows touches.
We can add a new collection in Lightroom for mobile by tapping the + button in the upper
right, give it a name and tap OK - and for example import photos from our camera roll.
If you tap the Add From Camera Roll at the top you can access your albums.
You can either tap photos individual to add them, or a feature I really like is that you
can tap hold and drag across them to add multiple files.
When you have your selection tap the TICK in the upper right to start importing them.
What's cool about this is that they are then synced back to Lightroom on our computer.
To enter the GRID VIEW simply tap on a collection and to set a particular image as your cover
photo tap and hold and from the pop up menu choose SET AS COVER but you will notice we
can use this to copy or move files between collections.
If I tap back in the upper left we see our selection has been applied.
Let's enter GRID VIEW again and if we tap the collection name at the top we can choose
our sorting options.
Tapping on any image within a collection will open it in the LOUPE VIEW taking it full screen.
If you tap with two finders in LOUPE VIEW it will cycle through the EXIF and Histrogram
displays.
We can mark an image in LOUPE VIEW by swiping up and down to PICK, UNFLAG or REJECT an image.
Running along the bottom of the interface is our FILMSTRIP VIEW, ADJUSTMENTS, PRESETS
and CROP buttons.
Filmstrip view will show you all the images within your collection and tap through this
and quickly mark them.
To start editing a photo tap the ADJUSTMENTS and running along the bottom you have access
to all your standard image adjustments.
If we tap WHITE BALANCE you can start by selecting a preset and then tap TEMPERATURE which will
reveal the slider which you can tap and drag to change the value of a given adjustment.
A really cool feature is if we choose the SHADOWS adjustment and drag the slider with
2 fingers, it will actually show you the exact area you are effecting.
To reset a the slider simply double tap.
Let's increase the CLARITY and VIBRANCE and if we tap the CLOUD ICON in the upper right
we can force it to sync the changes to our computer.
If you want to compare your changes to the original image simply tap and hold with three
fingers.
If you want to RESET changes simply scroll to the far right and tap RESET.
We can reset to the Basic Tones or ALL.
Next let's tap PRESETS.
These are predefined and sadly you can't create and save your own in the iPad app, but it's
a great starting point and you can then further tweak the adjustments.
Let's tap through some of these to take a look.
We
can apply multiple presets for example add a BLACK AND WHITE and then add a GRAIN EFFECT.
In the lower right we you there are undo and redo buttons or you can tap RESET like we
did in the ADJUSTMENTS area.
Finally let's tap CROP and look at the crop area.
Simple tap and drag a corner to resize the crop window and then you can tap and drag
the photo to reposition the image within the crop area.
You can select aspect rations down the bottom and also lock or unlock the constrain proportions
lock on the side.
The arrow icon below the lock allow you to rotate
the image.
To share an image tap the SHARING ICON in the upper right and then tap SHARE...
From here you can email or message the image as well as share to Facebook and Twitter or
save to your Camera Roll.
If we tap the back arrow in the upper left to return to the collections view, we can
present a collection as a slideshow by tapping the PLAY button on the Collection Thumbnail.
You can swipe with two fingers to manually progress, and tapping once will reveal the
slideshow options button at the top which allows us to set a transition type and duration.
Well that is Adobe Lightroom for Mobile on iPad.
