Adobe Delivers Lightroom Mobile For Android
14 January 2015
Fulfilling a promise made last year, Adobe has delivered Lightroom Mobile for Android. While the app has been designed and optimized for phone displays, it also runs on tablets.
The Android version of Lighroom mobile closely resembles its iOS cousin. In a briefing earlier this week, Product Manager Sharad Mangalick demonstrated the two-way sharing between Lightroom Desktop and Lightroom Mobile familiar to iOS users.
While there's no charge for the app, users must subscribe to one of the Adobe plans, such as the $9.99 Creative Cloud Photography plan. Lightroom 5.4 or higher with an Android phone running Jellybean or higher is also required. The app itself can be downloaded via the Google Play store, which also provides a 30-day free trial.
Details of the system requirements are:
- Quad core CPU with 1.7 GHz ARM v7 architecture
- 1-GB Ram
- 8-GB internal storage
- Android Jellybena, KitKat or Lillipop
Lollipop adds support for DNG Raw files, a feature not available in the iOS version.
