P: Using Lightroom on a folding device

When using Lightroom in Google pixel 9 pro fold, the app performs as expected except for opening/editing images on the inside screen. You can browse albums, and such, and edit images on the outer screen, but it shows nothing but black (with side bars and editing tools still showing though)

Jumping from another thread, this seems to be an issue with the OnePlus fold too

I have the same issue, good to see it at least works in landscape but portrait is just a black screen.

I have this issue. At first a very tiny image was appearing at the top in Edit view and if I clicked the image it would go into the preview mode but now I can't get any image to show on the 8" screen in Edit mode or preview mode. Slight workaround is to go into the app settings (via Android settings) and change the aspect ratio to 3:2 but this cuts off around 2/5 of the screen. Not ideal so fingers crossed for a fix soon.

So I flipped the phone and it turns out when the fold is horizontal it does work. See attached screenshots of it not working in portrait mode but working in landscape.

Wow, this is working for me too.

Having the same issue, was told to come on here by Adobe. Editing photos on a larger mobile screen was a small part of why I went for the pixel 9 pro fold. hopefully this can be fixed soon.

It was a large part of be wanting a foldable too. So I'm hoping to get a smooth experience. I know this is a brand new phone to market so just hoping there could be an update soon to make it functional.

If you use a Pinch/Zoom gesture, does it restore the image to the screen?

If I select an image from an album while using the inside screen and try pinching/zooming in/out there is no change. But I was able to use the outside screen to go to an image, then IF I zoom in and then open to the inside screen, the image will show and behaves mostly normal from there.
