(Pity that amazing compression algorithm from HBO's 'Silicon Valley' doesn't really exist.) You'll probably want to come up with a syncing strategy to manage your storage. The images are small enough that you don't have to wait inordinately long for them to load, but as a group they're big enough that they can take up a lot of space on a limited-capacity. If you want to be able to work on images while disconnected from the network, you have to enable offline editing otherwise, it dynamically downloads each image as you open it and caches it temporarily. As long as you're connected to a network, the selected Collections and any operations you perform on the images within are automatically synced between the two. It automatically generates the necessary raw proxy images, though it doesn't indicate within LRD that there's a Smart Preview in the usual spot beneath the histogram.

In order to use LRM, you login with LRD and enable sync, then set specific Collections to sync. Unfortunately, you can't connect peer-to-peer in the absence of a network. Unlike Photosmith, which requires both the app and LR desktop (LRD) to be on the same network to sync, LRM only cares that you're connected to a network.

It uses the Smart Preview proxies that debuted with LR 5 and syncs them between desktop and mobile using its cloud servers. Īside from its annoying push toward subscription software, there are seemingly valid technological reasons that Adobe LR mobile requires the latest, cloud-savvy versions of its software. For the moment, it only operates on an or newer running. It requires Lightroom 5.5, which became available concurrently with version 1.1 you can try them both out in conjunction with the 30-day free trial of Creative Cloud if you're not yet a subscriber, or get a 30-day free trial of the app with the perpetual-license update to 5.5. Lightroom mobile (LRM) is 'free' with any of Adobe's subscription programs that include Lightroom except for Creative Cloud Enterprise - there are technical issues holding back that implementation at the moment.
