For iOS devices, Export Original, enables users to export the original files, including DNGs captured in the camera as well as raw files imported through Lightroom Mobile and Lightroom web (Lightroom Desktop does not upload originals to the server). Other features included in the new updates depend on the operating system. For Android users, at this point only the Samsung S7, S7 Edge, Google Pixel, and Pixel XL are supported. Creative Cloud members get the additional benefit of automatically syncing with their desktop, ensuring that the photo, and all of the edits that were made to the photo, are backed up and available in the desktop version of Lightroom.įor iOS users, the HDR mode requires a device that can capture in DNG, such as an iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, 7, 7 Plus, iPhone SE, or iPad Pro 9.7″³. This produces a 16-bit floating point DNG, with all of the benefits of both an HDR and a raw photo, which is processed by the same algorithms with the same quality as the HDR technology built into Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom. HDR recording is achieved by scanning the scene to determine the correct exposure range and then capturing three DNG files which are then automatically aligned, merged, de-ghosted, and tone-mapped in the app. The updates for both Android and iOS can be downloaded by tapping here. The new HDR mode utilises the latest mobile hardware on both Android and iOS and the new updates, version 2.7 for iOS and version 2.3 for Android, which were released today make the HDR mode available for free.


The new HDR mode automatically creates an image with a wide tonal range.
