I am trying out LR CC on a new iPad Pro, to take with me on an extended upcoming trip abroad. It’s more than sufficient in terms of my post processing needs while away from my home base—where I use LR Classic.
The import process is easy on an iPad, just plug the card reader with memory card into the lightning port and the images appear on the screen. Tap the images you want to import and then tap the import button and they go into Photos and/or All Photos on LR. Easy enough.

Back home, with LR Classic, I can take a closer look at each image before importing by just increasing their size using the slider on the lower right of the screen.
No such slider exists on LR CC, at least not on the iPad version.

Q: Does anyone know if, while using LR CC on an iPad, you can increase the size of each image to get a better look at focus, noise, etc BEFORE selecting and hitting the import button? I tried the usual way by touching with 2 fingers and spreading them apart, but it does not work in the import mode.

Would be grateful if anyone has tried out LR CC for iPad and has come up with the answer. ‘

Thanks,
BJW

I have been using one since November. I just get all the pictures into LR and delete afterwards. Not a big deal for me personally. Since you are “deleting” both ways, why don’t you want to do it from LR?

Time saver. If I were able to “screen” them before import, only those that I would import will be worth keeping and would quality as a “P” flag thereby immediately eliminating the “X” (rejects). I think it would be a more efficient work flow, for me to import only the keepers.

Other than that, what do you think about CC? It seems to give me everything that I need, so far. The one thing I got to be careful about though is that the free cloud space can be used up pretty quickly, and the cost of additional cloud space with Adobe seems more expensive than other cloud storage, such as DropBox.

Thanks for your response.

I enjoy using Lr but I also purchased Affinity for $20.00 because I do focus stacking, hdr and panorama. Use affinity for cloning things out as well. You do get PS for that, but for me it leaves a visible line in skies when temoving power lines. So I just use Affinity. I’m not much of a photographer, so I upload all my keepers to Flickr and delete everything from the iPad except for my few favorites. In Lr, you can do batch delete, so that could save you time. How many pictures do you take per session?

Save, then open, then expand, then resave as the new picture size using light rom CC.
