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?

Please, yes! A healing brush on iOS (iPad Pro) would be wonderful
My 10.5 iPad Pro is my primary.computer. I’d love to see more features for iOS!

Only time will be the judge of that. I hope Adobe gets it together.

At the same time Affinity is a one time purchase...so there’s that. I also already own both the iPad app and the Mac app.

I’m ready haha

Well here's hope Adobe are reading their own forums! I picked up the trial of Affinity Photo but as with Affinity Designer (which I have to use from time to time), it's another piece of software to learn, or rather, wish it just used the same keyboard shortcuts etc as PS/LR! LR Mobile as I said above, has a long way to go - they need to lose the useless filters (unless you like Instagramesque photos?) and add just about everything else from Classic to stop LR Mobile being a gimmick.

Exactly... for me the question is who listens closest? Adobe hearing us and uniting one robust app for mobile editing and sync, or Affinity simply syncing their 2 softwares?

Whoever crosses that finish line will have my money.

Personally I don’t think Adobe recognizes or cares that some of us actually need full editing on the go to compete with others in the realm of oh... I don’t know.... wedding photography?

I actually own the Affinity photo, jumped on that wagon the moment it was release. It is a much more robust mobile app with all of the necessary features that we need. The only issue as William pointed out is that it does not sync my photos which is a deal breaker for me.

I just don’t have the understanding of Why Adobe has LR, Photoshop, Adobe Fix all as separate apps on the mobile device. Give us ONE app to complete all of the necessary tasks instead of exporting from one to another which just duplicates my files.

The LR platform is great and eventually going to be the leading platform for simple photo editing (from Adobe) so I think they have to build these features in or this will die and we will move on.

Jason It is definitely frustrating ! The iPad Pro with a pencil is great but Adobe seems to treat all mobile devices equally (as if they’re made in the early 2k’s). I have been contemplating a move to Affinity photos for mobile and desktop which would be cheaper in the end and gives me basically all Lightroom and photoshop tools in one app. The only issue I have is syncing over the air with each other. It simply won’t. But it’s a small leap when I think of all the steps I have to take to do simple things with Adobe mobile.

Totally agree William with all the silly extra apps we need to achieve the most basic of editing operations, when surely they could all be merged back into LR Mobile to then remove the silly PNG 'exports' to the other apps?  As it currently stands, it has a *long* way to go to convince me I can actually perform the same LR Classic edits on my iPad Pro in LR Mobile!  While I *love* editing on the iPad Pro with Pencil (bye bye Wacom tablet!), this PNG transfers back and forth, when I'm importing and placing edits on my Nikon NEF files, is kinda ridiculous!

Is it impossible for you to add spot removal in Lightroom mobile? I don’t understand why I need to jump to photoshop fix for something simple like removing a piece of dandruff or a pebble on the floor. What’s even more infuriating is that it seems to only make a copy of the photo in much lower specks. And then NEVER SYNCS WITH LIGHTROOM DESKTOP.... help a few of us out who prefer editing on the go in an iPad.
