These new mobile capabilities bring powerful and familiar Lightroom tools to the iPad, delivering photography essentials -- such as non-destructive processing of files -- and utilizing new Smart Preview technologies to free professional class photo editing from the confines of your desktop. Lightroom mobile is built upon powerful storage architecture, designed specifically for photos, and provides the most efficient way to manage and edit images across desktop, mobile and the web.

Lightroom mobile is available as part of Adobe Creative Cloud Photoshop Photography Program. For INR 499 per month, photographers have access to the industry-defining features of Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC on the desktop and now Lightroom mobile on iPad.

According to Umang Bedi, Managing Director, South Asia, Adobe System: "With the launch of Lightroom mobile, we've unlocked professional-class photographic workflows from the desktop. Lightroom and Photoshop redefined digital photography on the desktop and now, thanks to Adobe, photographers can perfect images, wherever they are and, via Creative Cloud, seamlessly synchronize them back to their desktop catalog."

Lightroom mobile puts the powerful tools from Lightroom 5 at photographer's fingertips, including:

· Sync edits, metadata and collection changes back to the Lightroom catalog on a Mac or Windows computer

· Automatically import images captured on an iPad and sync back to a Lightroom catalog on the desktop

· Work on images, even when your iPad is offline, for a truly portable experience

· Sync photos between Lightroom 5 and Lightroom mobile. Synced photos can also be viewed from any Web browser

"Adobe Lightroom mobile transforms the way I am able to work with my photographs because now I can review and process photos when I'm comfortable and creative, and not just when I'm at my computer," said Jeff Carlson, educator and author of The iPad for Photographers and Adobe Lightroom mobile: Your Lightroom on the Go. "It also works as a malleable photo portfolio on my iPad. As I add or remove images from a collection in Lightroom mobile or on the computer, the changes stay synchronized. When I need to show my work those photos are already set up to be viewed."
