Photographers, you’re going to like this—Adobe has launched Lightroom for iPad, which will allow users to edit and organize images on the go, with edits being synced to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 on your desktop. Images synced to Lightroom Mobile will not affect the 20GB cloud storage for Creative Cloud users.
Users will be able to edit smartphone images, RAW DSLR images and pretty much any image format. Lightroom mobile creates and syncs Smart Previews between your desktop and iPad, which means your original images remain intact and safe.

The iPhone version of Adobe Lightroom isn’t available yet, but the company says “it is in development”. An iPad 2 or newer is required for Lightroom Mobile, which will require one of the following subscriptions:
Photoshop Photography Program ($9.99/month)

Creative Cloud Student and Teacher Edition ($29.99/month)
Creative Cloud for teams complete plan ($69.99/month)
Click here to download Lightroom for iPad—it’s free, but requires a subscription. If you download the trial of Lightroom 5 for desktop, you can try out Lightroom Mobile free for 30 days.
