Lightroom mobile will then employ algorithms to do all the aligning, merging, tone mapping and more to build the final 32-bit RAW image.Īdobe says the tech at work in Lightroom mobile is the same quality as what you'd encounter when using Adobe Camera Raw and Lightroom on the desktop. The software automatically scans your subject to determine the ideal exposure range before snapping three photos in Adobe's DNG RAW format.

Starting today on both Android and iOS versions of the app, you can capture those HDR scenes as RAW files.


Sync speed and stability has also been improved, and sync/upload is now supported in the background.Īdobe Photoshop Lightroom for iOS version 2.7 is available now on the App Store.If you enjoy capturing high dynamic range (HDR) images with your phone, Adobe just added a new feature to Lightroom mobile that might come in handy. Adobe also says its new raw HDR capture mode is superior to the iOS method that applies heavy noise reduction, sharpening and tone adjustment, and an overall lower quality image.Īdobe’s new shooting mode maintains the benefits of raw capture like lack of JPEG compression and a higher bit-depth per color while catching a larger dynamic range than standard shots.Īside from authentic HDR capture, Lightroom mobile 2.7 adds the ability to export original raw images to the Camera Roll on iOS, and there’s a new widget in the Today view of Notification Center that’s also accessible from 3D Touch on the Lightroom icon.Īdobe also says it has improved the rating and review system in this update. Version 2.7 also includes exporting raw images and a new widget for 3D Touch and the Today view in Notification Center.Īuthentic HDR, or raw HDR, is a new capture mode that Adobe says “combines the benefits of HDR technology and DNG raw” and “automatically analyzes a scene to determine the appropriate spread of exposure values over three shots, then automatically aligns, de-ghosts, and tone maps the image, creating a 32-bit floating point DNG file.”Īpple’s built-in Camera app has long supported shooting in HDR mode, but shooting in raw on iOS is still limited to third-party apps. Authentic HDR is a new mode that rivals competing high-dynamic-range methods.

Adobe has released a new version of Photoshop Lightroom for iOS that includes more powerful tools for shooting on the iPhone.
