As the Title says - The ability to heal photos while using Lightroom CC would be amazing. The iPad Pro is more powerful than many computers on the market yet it is not fully utilized. Can we add the heal function so that I don't have to edit a photo and then go back to my computer to use my mouse just to heal something?

I think LRM is great and use it to cull and edit all of my photos. As I import into LR (desktop) from my memory card, I add the photos to a new collection that is synced to LRM. I can do 80 - 90% of my editing on my iPad Pro 12.9 inch with Apple pencil. I do review all photos later on my desktop to ensure everything looks good before I print, export or publish.

As I said, I am very happy with LRM but would really like to see the ability to clone using my Apple pencil. It would reduce the time required on my desktop and make mobile editing more efficient.

I would like to see an erase tool in Lightroom mobile, right now I have to bring my image from Lightroom mobile to photoshop fix, erase then save itt back to Lightroom. I would like to do this in Lightroom mobile without leaving the app.

I would be happy if they started by merging the features of Mix and Fix into Lightroom Mobile, if only for creative cloud customers and made all of those edits non-destructive. To me that's the key. Preferably with the ability to selective remove or change edits much like you can do with SnapSeed.

I'm having a hard time with why this feature is missing when it's been present in multiple apps on iOS for a few years now, including Adobe's own Photoshop Fix. Yes please add a healing brush that allows for non-destructive editing just like you have for cropping. Snapseed has a best in class way of handling non-destructive edits that beats anything Apple or Adobe have come up with on their own; please copy their implementation so that you don't have to start totally over again on edits, just remove the individual edit; in this case healing.
