    Is an Adobe account required to upload by invitation to Lightroom Web?

    I'm testing a gallery to allow others to upload and share photos. As a test, I invited myself with a non-Adobe email. I can open the link, but don't see any option to add photos. Does one have to have and Adobe account to upload? If so, it seems to defeat the purpose of inviting others to...

    iPhone 15 Pro and Lightroom Camera App: No 48 MP DNGs?

    I can shoot 48 MP in the native app, but not the Lightroom app, and yes, I'm using the "wide angle" lens and not the ultra wide nor the telephoto. Am I missing something? I've read that Halide and Camera + can shoot in RAW, just not sure it's 48MP Thanks, Reid

    Is it possible to export DNG files with edits from Lightroom (iPhone) to Camera Roll?

    and keep the edits? I've tried both export at DNG, which I thought would keep the edits, which did not. It behaved as Export as Original. If they both do the same thing, why both options?

    Cropping: Any other way than the drop down?

    I like to crop a lot of my landscape photos to a 16:9 crop, but find it slow to go to the drop-down menu. I know there is no crop option in creating presets, but wonder if there is a better way. I keep thinking that if I imagine it long enough, I can make an assignable crop presets appear in...
