Adobe has announced several updates to their Lightroom CC platform, including some improvements specifically targeted at Android devices. Lightroom CC is Adobe's answer to the ever increasing cloud-based service world and makes use of the Adobe Creative Cloud, combined with Lightroom features, to make life easy for image editors. For Android users who have the mobile Lightroom app, they will find they can now edit DNG, or RAW, files on their devices. The ability to produce DNG files is new to Android Lollipop if a device has a camera sensor capable of producing the file format. Users will also be able to open, edit and save files to their microSD card storage on Android devices. Adobe also added support for tablet devices where Lightroom was previously only usable on Android smartphones.
To use the Adobe Lightroom app, users do have to have an Adobe Creative Cloud Photography subscription plan. The nice thing about these plans is they give you access to a whole suite of apps, both mobile and on the desktop, and work on one platform is available on another platform if you need to switch. The Creative Cloud Photography plan runs $10 per month.
Along with the update to the mobile app, Adobe also updated the desktop app with a host of improvements like HDR merge, Panorama Merge, Facial Recognition, and a host of performance improvements.
