This is one of Lightroom Mobile's limitations – there are many other things you can't do, such as creating virtual copies, adding keywords, applying optical corrections and so on.īut then Lightroom Mobile is designed as a companion to Lightroom desktop, not a replacement, and provided you accept its limitations it really opens up the way you can browse, share and enhance your pictures without having to be at your computer.

You can carry on doing this for all the images in the Collection if you want to apply a single preset look quickly and easily. The best you can do at the moment is to create adjustments manually on one image, swipe to the next and tap the 'Previous' button – this applies all the adjustments from the image before. You can also apply presets, though here there is a slight catch – these are designed specifically for Lightroom Mobile and you can't add custom presets of your own in the same way you can on the desktop app. However, Adobe uses much smaller Smart Previews based on its own DNG format – they're small enough to synchronise but can store all the editing data needed for the full-resolution version on your computer. You can even edit raw files! This sounds like a major technical hurdle because raw files are much larger than JPEGs and would take a long time to synchronise.

Synchronized Collections appear automatically in the Lightroom Mobile app.
