Master Lightroom Mobile from Beginner to Pro (2024)

[@IVMTAB]

A tip is to not import all the photos you don’t need in Lightroom and also after importing, make sure syncing is not enabled, under the cloud icon, as that can slow down the editing process. I personally import the selected photos I want from a device, edit them and only after I am done editing I turn syncing under the cloud icon “On” (usually overnight during bedtime, so it can upload and save to the cloud.

[@ZacSopak]

@@IVMTAB good point!

[@moshk1]

I recently switched from Mac to the new iPad. I can’t for the life of me understand why I can’t just import all to disk and when I’m culling through Lr I can delete the ones I dont want straight from my disk and then sync the ones I want to cloud and move the original RAW files to me external backup HDD as you can on mac….

[@nizancanete5864]

Helpful thanks

[@traceykenning1744]

Thank you for this video. I was getting so frustrated with LR mobile, this video explains the different functions clearly and consisley 👍

[@TheRealest127]

Your timing couldn’t have been better man. Just got the iPhone 15 Pro Max and I’m going to be doing an all of my video and photo work on it. Found out about Lightroom yesterday and now here you come in the clutch with the perfect detailed video easy enough for anyone to understand. Great video!

[@ZacSopak]

Dude, that's awesome! I'm so glad my video came at the perfect time for you. Let me know if you need any more tips or tricks for using your iPhone 15 Pro Max and Lightroom.

[@brendanpederson5793]

I can't see how you do the hold picture and then slider. It just shows me my before and after :( what an I doing wrong

[@ZacSopak]

Are you on an iPhone?

[@brendanpederson5793]

@ZacSopak no, I am using a Samsung

[@TrustPax]

Both fongers have to be in the slider

[@brendanpederson5793]

@@TrustPax thank you sir I like that.

[@farduino]

Awesome tutorial! Thank you Zac! I will apply all of this to my future edits

[@ZacSopak]

That’s great! Happy to help!

[@derek4950]

For those trying to set the white and black points on an android phone it may be a little different than on a ios device. Put two fingers on the slider and move those fingers along the slider. I found it a little tricky but was able to make it work. Your fingers can be any where on the slider bar and dont need to be on the slider "knob"

[@sbudambele1603]

33min 20secs well spent, knew 90% of things but still enjoyed the video so much, your voice is so soothing to my ears, it's like it was turned to resonate with my ears 🎉 thanks Man

Zac thank you for this video. I was looking to improve my editing now, I have a new set of skills.

[@ZacSopak]

Happy to help! 👍🏻

[@JoshWilliams123]

When I imported some photos from an SD card a few of the thumbnails were blank. Do you know how to fix this?

[@ZacSopak]

I think that’s just how the iPhone reads RAW files. Once you get them into Lightroom you should be good 👍🏻

[@nelsonfne]

GRACIAS por darte el tiempo de enseñar, tengo un problema y ojalá ME AYUDARAS. Luego de aplicar un presets quisiera recuperar un poco de color en el cabello pero no logro dar con los ajustes. Como podría hacerlo? Tienes ejemplo de algo así? (Lightroom mobile premium)

[@PTRK490]

Did your iPhone 11 died? My 11 always heats up like crazy when only choosing a preset 😅 anyway nice tutorial!

[@ZacSopak]

Unfortunately it did. I had that same issue happen all the time. I recently upgraded to the 15 pro and I’m loving it!

[@PTRK490]

@@ZacSopak good for you! Might as well upgrade as well in the future.

[@mtippett80]

Amazing video Zac, thanks for it!!! Quick Q ... do you know if you can apply a preset to JUST a masked area? if not do you know if that is something they are going to bring out? sometimes you just want to apply the preset settings to part of the photo

[@ZacSopak]

Not that I know of. You can control the amount of a preset that want to apply to your entire photo, but I don’t think it’s an option to add a preset in masking

[@mtippett80]

@@ZacSopak I hope they bring something in so you can apply a preset to just a masked area ... all they would need to do is make the "preset" a editable option when you select the mask

[@ZacSopak]

@@mtippett80 Yeah, you never know. They're constantly putting out new updates so I'd keep an eye out for it.

[@LeonaSim]

This is the best tutorial i found!! All I did is mixing the color and that’s it!! Even masking it’s hard for me.. for a beginner… thanks for this

[@ZacSopak]

Happy it helped!

Hello Zac. Thank you so much for sharing. I downloaded Lightroom mobile from Apple Store, but mine is not like yours. I appreciate your help

[@ZacSopak]

Happy it helped. Not sure why the app would be different. Are you up to date on your phones OS?

[@rolandvanalphen4355]

Hi Zac! Thnx for this video, great info! Question, is this RAW editing proces destructive or non-destructive?

[@ZacSopak]

@@rolandvanalphen4355 I believe it’s non destructive. You can always revert back to your original.

[@janemaurer6807]

Great video! Thank you. One question I have is when I edit in Lightroom mobile and then export my photo to my iPhone 15 Pro Max, the image looks gray and not at all like it looks in Lightroom. What can I do to change this? Thank you.

[@ZacSopak]

I can’t say that I’ve had that happen to me before. Are you editing the RAW photos from the iPhone?

[@MariaGraceCantara]

How to get premium ?

[@ZacSopak]

You have to pay for it

[@Nas.hariel]

Hi Zach, Can you make video something like this, but in Lightroom Macbook version?

[@terrywbreedlove]

Does Lightroom save a full res edit that I can later transfer to an external drive ? I am not so interested in more cloud space.

[@ZacSopak]

@@terrywbreedlove that I am unsure of. If you test it out let me know what you find out!

[@bontemelvin7983]

Is it better to have a log Video instead of a « normal » video before editing on this app ? Is it gonna be better if it a log ?

[@ZacSopak]

It depends on your workflow and what makes the most sense to you. Some people hate log because it’s too much work to get it looking good and other love it.

[@TheArejon]

I have a problem, I'm processing a RAW photo taken from a mirrorless camera in Lightroom on the iPhone 14 Pro. When saving, I choose the JPG format, but the phone saves the JPEG format, which does not suit me. What can you do?

[@v10climber]

JPEG and JPG are the same file format. The only difference is the number of letters in the file extension. The only reason JPG exists is because the earlier versions of Windows operating systems had a maximum 3-letter limit when it came to file names.

[@ZacSopak]

Thanks for sharing ☝️☝️

[@Hellrider1111]

Hi! I didn't get it. How do I import my pics into Lightroom? They're already in my phone.

[@ZacSopak]

Go to the Lightroom tab (looks like a cloud and a picture frame at the bottom of the app) Then tap the icon that looks like a picture frame with a plus sign. Select your photos you want to import

[@JapanProTools]
