Ok, Surely I'm missing something here. I've been playing around with Lightroom mobile and seeing how it would integrate with my existing (hobbyist) workflow and from what i can understand it doesn't really make sense to me?!?
Ok, picture this scenario (no pun intended) - I'm holiday, so naturally I don't have my PC desktop with me. I have my DSLR camera and my iPad because I want to travel reasonably light (I don't own a laptop).
I take a few hundred RAW photos over the course of 3 day, I have some spare time to review the photos and hopefully make some minor corrections to them, select the good ones and delete the bad ones in order to save time when I get back home. Naturally, I'm assuming my iPad along with lightroom Mobile would be ideal for this task.
The idea would be to Import the Raw images from my camera, review the photos on my iPad in Lightroom, make a few adjustments here and there, knowing that when I get home on my PC everything I've done is going to be already synced.
The above seems fairly reasonable, however sadly it isn't. Because for some reason it is not possible to import raw images from my camera into lightroom mobile?!?!
In light of this, I'm totally failing to understand the point of this application. Why would anyone bother to import their photos into Lightroom Desktop, only to sync them to Lightroom mobile, does anyone think its better do the editing on their iPad? Surely once I'm back home there would be no reason to want to edit on my iPad when my PC is sitting next to me?
I can however see the point and immense value in being able to make basic adjustments while away from ones PC and have the ability to automatically sync these adjustments with my PC, so that the bulk, or at least a part, of the work is already done before I'm even home.
I'd be delighted if someone could point out what I'm missing, because for the life of me I cant see it!!
Cheers,
P.
