It’s one of the most-loved new features to come to Lightroom in years, and now it’s in Lightroom Mobile for the iPhone and iPad (Android updates listed below). So, even if you’re not on the CC plan, you can at least editing your mobile- images using Lightroom Mobile, and that’s a good thing.ĭehaze makes it’s way to LR Mobile on IOS However, if you’re not a CC subscriber, you don’t get to sync with Lightroom desktop - you can only use it for editing images already on your mobile device - not sent over, or sync’d from Lightroom, which is a very important distinction, because in this non-subscriber mode it becomes a stand-alone mobile editor like the rest of the mobile editing Apps out there.
