Cellular Mondays: Capturing and enhancing in Lightroom on my telephone

I’ve been utilizing my Samsung S21 cell phone on and off for a number of years now to shoot and edit in Adobe Lightroom Cellular. I used Lightroom on my telephone years in the past and located it slightly clunky and tough to make use of. To not point out I discovered it a lot simpler to edit in Lightroom Traditional on my PC. But it surely has improved significantly within the final couple of years.

Issues have modified a LOT. I need to admit I used to be pleasantly shocked with the outcomes. The truth that I can shoot in RAW on my Samsung S21 was a bonus as effectively. I imagine that many different smartphones now have the flexibility to shoot in RAW too, so this can be a fabulous characteristic. However it’s not all the time turned on within the digital camera mode.

As soon as within the Lightroom Edit module, you could have entry to Therapeutic and Clone instruments, Crop, Mild (publicity, Distinction, Highlights, Shadows, Blacks, Whites) and different instruments. There’s even a Tone Curve. Results cowl Break up Tone, Texture, Readability and such.

The usuals are present in Element, Lens distortion and such in Optics and Rework known as Geometry. There are presets already loaded — base Adobe defaults — however it’s fairly intuitive to edit in with out. Any presets you could have in Lightroom for the desktop present as effectively, and you’ll import your Lightroom Traditional presets, too.

All photos had been exported (or shared) as 4mb JPEGs at roughly 4016 x 3008 pixels, so they’re fairly good high quality. I used to be fairly pleased with the completed edit as effectively.
