Adobe updates Lightroom for iOS and Android: Better selective edits on iOS and a new interface on Android

 

 

Adobe has updated Lightroom Mobile for both iOS and Android. The updates have differing new features, so let's look at them each separately.

On the iOS front, Lightroom Mobile has a new selective brush, which is one of the most requested new features. When using an iPhone that supports 3D Touch, you can vary the effect of the brush by pressing with different levels of pressure. The same is true when working with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. There is also a new ability to selectively erase linear and radial gradients, improving their usability during selective edits.

Further additions include a "Details" tab, which provides global control over sharpening and noise reduction. There's an improved iPad interface for LR Mobile, which is designed to offer a more desktop-like appearance and functionality while still taking advantage of the large touch-based interface of an iPad.
