Won’t happen.
They don’t listen... the only way would be to massively unsubscribe.

It has been 2 years. Still no solution to a mobile export?

Same here, Adobe Creative Cloud isn’t our final destination, just a processing stage. I’ve notice the design of the Creative Cloud app makes importing easier that exporting but I’ll leave it to the tinfoil hat brigade to talk about captive design.

If iOS Photos ever allows a nominated editor then that would be the ideal option for us. Lr on our iPad Pro + Pencil is pretty amazing and leaves the Mac less used but these little quirks are annoying. It’s almost as if we take the product more seriously than Adobe.

Just testing a workaround- will post if successful.

Can’t you just add a « cancel » button in case someone dares to export more than 15 images and doesn’t want to wait?

Damn! I think I might know another reason for this limitation. Imagine you are on the go with with many (maybe hundreds of Go) on your LR Mobile. But how do you get your those pictures on your computer without buying extra storage?

Can we have the ability to export more than 15 images at a time to files / camera roll in IOS Lightroom? I often want to upload a whole album and it can take ages when I have to split it into 15 at a time

Josh.... regarding your response to my comment and request for use case information...

I don’t share from Lightroom, for two reasons... 1) apple photos (AP) and google photos (GP). Everyone I interact with has those two apps on their phone and that’s how they want to share pictures. They don’t want a website link; it’s just less user friendly. I might occasionally need to share via web link, but frankly, that experience is currently better and easier with GP.

I also refuse to keep my photos in any single service. My Lightroom Classic CC workflow was as follows: after import, cull and edit, (1) export smaller-res jpgs to AP and GP for sharing (advantage also of dual back up of my finished work), and (2) move RAW files off skratch drive to Dropbox for storage and backup....

With Lightroom Mobile (LM), I can see that changing... I still need the ability to share a collection of photo selects (typically 20-50 photos from an event; sometime 100-200 with bigger or multi-day events), but I think the benefits of keeping my RAW archive in the LM cloud would be a huge time saver, though I’d still want to send copies of my final RAW files to another back up service (Dropbox, etc).

Hope that helps.

More to the point... I still don’t feel like the 15 minute Apple limitation has been properly addressed and it seems like many others here feel the same... If I can import 1,000 RAW photos from my iPhone camera roll into LM iPhone app - which takes more than 15 minutes, both to load into camera roll then pull into LM app - then why can’t I do the same but in reverse???

Victor, thanks for this idea 🙂 It has already been suggested (maybe even on this page). The idea is good, but the drawback of this solution would then be the big data usage.
Another issue: Like John said, LR mobile is useful "on the go" and frequently used offline or with a poor connection. It is frequent the have the RAW file not updated to the cloud yet. Last but not least, would this impact the 20 Go allowance?

Thanks jhaftel for communicating with us.

To answer your questions from my perspective. For me its simple. I want to be able to leave my laptop at home, travel light with compact gear and an iPad Pro. Import what’s I’ve shot for a client, bring into lightroom mobile, cull and pick, edit and export full high res jpgs, renamed, into a folder is iOS files. Then connect either my Sandisk xpand or Gnarbox and copy that folder onto a usb and physical hand it to my client in the spot the next morning. My clients want their images immediately and I or they do not always have a internet connection for shared albums or folders.

I could even live with the fact we cannot size or compress to jpg with our own preference or that I can’t rename. But to export all while I sleep, so in the morning or a couple hours later my 200 to 300 images are ready to hand over, non negotiable.

I’ve already figured out how to rename and resize on a lightroom export/share through a workaround, but there is no workaround with export.

Another good option, instead of giving us the sync only option, is to allow us to take the full mcat or lightroom mobile catalog with edit info and previews, copy it and have lightroom desktop open it when I return to my office, like the way we can share a lrcat file with others who have a copy of the original RAW. The only way I can get my RAWs off my iPad without a really fast internet speed, is to connect the iPad through iTunes and copy onto a desktop folder, but none of the xmp info edits are transferred, only original RAW. That’s why allowing lightroom on my desktop to read and translate mcat files is so important. The sync feature was designed by someone in the US with incredible connectivity, us who live in parts of Africa, like I do, find sync absolutely useless, especially stating edit on an iPad and syncing RAWs back to desktop, nuts.

Thanks for your time.
