Hello. I would like to request a feature be added to Lightroom Mobile for iOS to export RAW DNG files shot withing the iPhone Lightroom Mobile app as DNGs to the camera roll. I am trying to sync to my desktop app but apparently it's been already been synced to some other catalog I no longer have access to. I cannot proceed without deleting all the images I shot in RAW on the iPhone.

    The ability to save dng to the camera roll is still there. In the share button simply tap on the little settings icon right next to “export to camera roll” and select original as the format

    I have an iPhone XS fully updated, and what I have founds is, I have to save the .dng file to a folder on the iCloud, and then drag and drop to the photo app on my Mac. You can no longer export from Lightroom to the Photo app with .dng files. Which really sucks. Hopefully they will rectify this situations sooner rather than later 🙂

    You do this using the share button that looks like a square with an arrow coming out of it. You should be able to directly share to Instagram or to export to the photo roll. You shouldn’t have to go through the photo roll step though and should be able to go straight to the Instagram app from Lightroom on mobile.

    I'm trying to work out how to export photos from LR mobile app ( synced from my desktop) into my Google photos on my Android Google pixel phone so I can post to Instagram. Maybe this should be a new thread?

    You should be able to airdrop the dng files from the photos app. So export your dngs from Lightroom as originals to the photo roll and then airdrop them from there

    Is there an easy way to get those dng  files from an iPhone to an iPad? Can you airdrop Them? The cloud isn’t an option with my terrible home internet. Right now I’m shooting and editing on my phone but I wish I could edit on my iPad Pro.

    The feature is there. Tap on the export button. Select “export original” and then select Files. You can now select where, which can be iCloud files, Dropbox, google drive, etc. depending on what you have installed on your phone. This saves a dng if you shot that

    Sorry, but as of today there's still no way to simply export a DNG photo shot using my phone. It's a total bummer because I don't want to always rely on the sync feature between mobile and CC desktop. Any info about this feature? Thanks a lot in advance

    thanks a lot, I use LR CC on Mac and all devices, all connected but the DNGs are not showing up on the Macs LR CC. So I will go with the export to files and then dropbox I think.
