From reading most of the posts, it seems there is little significance from Lightroom for most.

My experience must be unusual. For me, the reason to start the topic was that Lightroom mobile changed my phone from near useless to very useful. Without Lightroom mobile it was too inconvenient to use my phone as a camera. With it, my phone is enabled as a near "real camera".

An odd part of this is that there are three cameras on my phone. It came with a basic camera. Lightroom has a camera in it. And, Samsung offers an advanced camera for download that they call "Expert Raw".

I suspect the reason for your responses is that it seems to me that most in this group and possibly most Lightroom users fail to understand that Lightroom is a photograhy eco system that is far more than just an editor and catalog. The subscription includes the desk top version LRC (including Photoshop) and the online universe, Lightroom, the web version, and Lightroom Mobile, which works on phones and tablets. For phones and tablets there are I believe five other apps available. Of course, there is also the ability to use the platform for creating a website, sharing in multiple ways and so much more. All this for $9.99 a month, which includes continuous updates.

Thank you for telling me about Samsung Raw. Unfortunately the Lightroom Camera does not utilize the full zoom available on the Ultra 22. In my opinion, cellphone cameras are "real cameras". Their limitations are shrinking by leaps and bounds.

I'm on my second Android phone with a good camera in it.

I've avoided a lot of phone photography because, among other things, I balk at the process of getting images to my computer. I have an SD card workflow. There are "real" cameras with SD cards and then there are smart phones without!

The Adobe subscription includes a version of Lightroom for my phone. It upsets my habit pattern. It makes using the phone the the most efficient of all. With Lightroom on the phone, an image (RAW or JPEG) will be transfered to Lightroom Classic on my computer in a few moments, automatically and all by itself. It is like it is (slowly) tethered. I wish my "real" cameras would do that.

In other words, the Lightroom system turns my Android phone into being one of my primary and most useful cameras. Without Lightroom, I would not use my phone unless I had to have the shot and no other camera was available.

I've having fun learning to include my phone and its computational capabilities as part of my primary set of cameras.

How does your phone fit in with your photography system?
