I import my images using Lightroom Mobile on my MacBook, then sync to my iPad Pro. I then ‘Store Locally’ essentially making smart previews. All good so far. However, when i start processing my images i sometimes like to make multilevel versions of the same. On the desktop you can make a virtual copy, can this not be done on the iPad? I’d be surprised if it can’t.

In Lightroom mobile you can create versions. Not completely the same, but close enough to try out different edits.

I’ve also worked around this by exporting (‘edit in’ command) the image from mobile on my iPad Pro to Photoshop Mobile and then immediately sending it back to LR. You then get two images in LR Mobile.

In the Settings | Import turn on Auto import from Camera Roll and the image will immediately show up.

If shooting in RAW, (DNG) note that you need to Export as DNG to avoid having the image converted to a JPG.
