From CNET: One of the hassles of using Lightroom, Adobe's software for editing and cataloging your photos, is getting them into the app's catalog. On Tuesday, Adobe made that process a step easier, and more steps are coming.
Previously, to edit photos in Lightroom, you first had to import them from your phone's camera roll. It's not exactly hard, but it's a barrier that stands in the way of trying out the software. Now the Lightroom app for Android and iOS has a "device" tab on the lower left that shows your familiar camera roll. Tap an image, and Lightroom will let you start editing it even as it's imported into its catalog.
"This is the beginning of our journey to make the mobile app more friendly for folks that aren't power users," Maria Yap, Adobe's vice president of digital imaging, said in an exclusive interview ahead of the launch.
Another change, still in the works, will elevate editing presets that you can apply to your photos, she said. Presets previously made it easier to apply styles to photos, like warm color tones or an artsy black-and-white look, but they're getting more powerful with artificial intelligence technology Adobe has begun building into Photoshop, Lightroom and other apps.
