Introduction

Adobe announced the availability of Lightroom Mobile for Android phones. Lightroom mobile is the Apple iOS or Android app version of Lightroom 5 desktop.

The iPhone and iPad version of the LR has been out for some time now (find my full review here), and is virtually identical to the Android version.

Advanced cross-platform and device image synchronisation

Lightroom mobile offers the ability to process images, edit, organize and share from anywhere and at any time. It is built on a powerful cloud synchronization architecture and allows users to manage and process images from the desktop, mobile devices, and the web. You’ll need to have and Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan to synchronize your images from and to desktop, smartphone and tablet.
