I've been experimenting with Lightroom Mobile as a way to download and save RAW images to an iPad from my Canon & Sony cameras while traveling without a laptop. I use the Apple camera connector kit cord to download images from the camera to the Camera Roll on my iPad. Then I select and copy all my images to Lightroom Mobile. After a while with fast WiFi service, LR Mobile then moves them to the web and they "magically" appear on my desktop iMac at home. I've checked the images and they have the same date/time information and are the same size files as the ones in the camera memory card. But if I later put that same memory card in the card reader of the desktop to download other images not transferred -- LR does not recognize the old images as duplicates in the import dialog of the Library module. In other words, the images which reside on my home computer are not grayed out in the import dialog, thus would be imported again. Is there something I am doing wrong in my process? Was the exif data somehow modified by the LR Mobile copy/upload to the web/download to my computer process? Or is LR Mobile just not sophisticated enough to discriminate between images imported two different ways?
