Adobe shows off direct import for Lightroom on iPad

Adobe shows off direct import for Lightroom on iPad

One of the most frustrating things about working with Lightroom on an iPad is having to import images to the camera roll first before then importing them to Lightroom. Luckily, thanks to changes in iOS 13 this should soon be at an end. Adobe published a video showing an upcoming change to Lightroom on iPad which will allow direct importing of photos.

I actually posted a work around for this problem a little while ago, but my solution was clunky, and I knew it was only a matter of time. Luckily we shouldn’t have to wait too long. While Adobe does occasionally show off sneak previews of upcoming features, it’s rare for them to do this for Lightroom. Anyway, the video is embedded below, and I think it will make a big difference to workflows.
