Lightroom on mobile
Android Tablet Support: Previously only available on Android phones, now you can sync, edit, organize and share on Android tablets as well.
Native DNG support on Android: Android 5.0 (aka “Lollipop”) now allows you to shoot photos in raw, and saves them as DNG files. You can now import those DNG files directly from your Android device.
Android SD card support: You can now specify local storage to an SD card rather than internal device storage.
TIFF support on iOS: If you’re creating TIFF files on your iOS device, you can now import and edit them using Lightroom.
Improved crop experience on iOS: We simplified the number of tiles in our crop UI so you can now easily find aspect ratios, and we added an auto-straighten function, directly leveraging the Upright technology.
