Complete Mobile Photography Workflow | Adobe Lightroom Mobile + Lightroom Classic

[@TaoCovillault]

Nice content, nice workflow 😊 I just always wonder, why Lightroom CC has all functions of lightroom Classic, except the color coding -_- This is so annoying for me, because I use colors to say if a picture is done editing (green), In progress (yellow), if it's just a memory (bleu), memory with editing done (purple), or NSFW/nudity etc (red). This way I can go through my library really fast, all the pictures without color label haven't been sort out or worked on, and I can hide RED pictures when showing stuff to clients or friends 🤪

I would appreciate a list of steps that you outlined. Also, did you eliminate the uploaded images to the LR Cloud every day while away to avoid the 100 GB limit? You seem to imply that you did, if so, how? Thanks. Geoff

Hi Brendan, many thanks for your video, very helpful. I travel a lot with photographing. Coming from the field with hundreds or thousands (wildlife!) of photos so far I backup with the hep of a MacBook Air on ssd´s. Being the happy owner of the latest iPad I will test your workflow very soon. My only concern is step 2: syncing in a hotel etc hundreds of MB. Even over night that doesn’t work reliable from my experience. Option: So - if I download my photos into my iPad (1 Tb as well :-) with LR and disable syncing until I am at home - what happens? Need to test that … Frank

[@christopherbrown9927]

So, if your gone for a week or more, your laptop at home running the whole time?

[@BrendanWiltse]

Yes.

[@TV-Inkorgen]

Can you tether like Capture One in Lightroom ?

[@BrendanWiltse]

Not directly. Folks have developed various work around though.

[@marcrjacobs]

I understood that copying from the a7RIV to an iPad via wire will not import RAW. Is the correct?

[@BrendanWiltse]

It copies the RAW files. It will also sync the RAW files to your Lightroom Classic library.

[@marcrjacobs]

@@BrendanWiltse Thanks, I'll try again

[@RighteousNacho]

First step, shoot on a $2,000 camera like me. 🙄

[@BrendanWiltse]

I spent years shooting on crop sensor DSLRs before moving to full-frame mirrorless cameras. Higher end cameras have their benefits and can make things a bit easier in some ways, but aren't necessary to get good photos.

[@isaacmeyerodell5214]

Thanks. I have a similar workflow although I often shoot in studio. I use an iPad app called Cascable that allows me to shoot tethered to my iPad. My clients love it since they can easily review the shots on the touchscreen. Once I have the clients selects I transfer the files to Lightroom Mobile and eventually to LrC. I only wish that Adobe would make LR for iPad with the same feature set as LrC. The most annoying one is that I can’t import presets on the iPad, I have to open up LR creative cloud on a spare computer and load the preset there so they sync with LR for iPad.

[@BrendanWiltse]

I agree and really don't understand splitting Lightroom on desktop into two different products. Plus, I would love to see the new AI based denoise come to the iPad. There is no reason the newest iPads with Apple silicon couldn't run that feature.

[@Keepitsimplesilva]

Thanks, this was very helpful

[@BrendanWiltse]

Thank you!

[@JasperGroot]

Thanks for your video man. I’m still doing a bit of both; and importing on my laptop and storing files on local external drive, and sync in cloud with easy edits on iPad. I’m leaning more and more towards just doing the last.

[@BrendanWiltse]

For a few months I imported and edited almost exclusively on my iPad. I would only go to the computer to organize my library and do more advanced edits. I think Adobe’s syncing could be better but I find a super convenient workflow.

[@doodledidit]

Thank you for the information. I'm seeing that Adobe is taking Sync Photos away in February. Will this effect your workflow?

[@BrendanWiltse]

@@doodledidit As best as I understand Adobe is removing Creative Cloud synced files but photos synced through their Lightroom products will continue to be supported. So this won’t impact my mobile workflow.

[@ianemery8421]

I have the same workflow laptop-classic based editing on my iPad

[@BrendanWiltse]

Do you find yourself editing more on your iPad or laptop?

[@rogerwalton8160]

Very clearly explained - thank you.

[@BrendanWiltse]

Glad it was helpful!

[@muserbellamy1140]

Hi do they sync at full resolution back to your Mac

[@BrendanWiltse]

Yes, the full resolution RAW files will be synced back to your computer.
