Can we please somehow include color management for the light room mobile app x-rite have an kit that allows there colortrue app to be used but I'm sure there are other ways.. just being able to load in an ICC profile from light room or the cloud from the free display cal software would work The iPad display is good but not completely accurate and dosent match my calibrated desktop display so color edits are a little pointless meaning I have to edit all the images again to correct the color...

Good evening. I wouldlike to ask, when there will be a solution for color management for Lightroommobile on my 2020 iPad pro. At this moment there is no way to calibrate ormeasure the display of the device which makes working with lighroom uselesssince it will deliver wrong results compared to the calibrated monitor on my PC and Macbook for which I am using the datacolor Spyder5. I am a little shocked to see so littletopics about that on my search on google so I wanted to reach out to you. Youare a founding member of the ICC, just like apple. So you both are on the samepage about that problem and there is still no solution for this issue outthere which is very disappointing right now. I know this has nothing to do with Adobe primarily but Adobe should have interest in providing applicant solutions for enthusiasts and therfore maybe take some action to drive apple to finally integrate color management.

If I get it right, there has been an app by datacolor and there is an app by X-Rite, which both could measure the display of the device by e.g. the Spyder/i1display connected to the PC over the local network. Then you are able to view pictures inside a specific app which alters the colors to output the calibrated colors. So if apple would not integrate system wide color management, wouldn't it be possible to work together with datacolor or X-Rite to use a color profile from their app at least just inside the Lightroom mobile app?

Thank you for reading thiskind of feature request.

Hi Team, I am a photographer and I would like to request a feature for lightroom mobile, add a feature that can calibrate colour in the image just like the feature on lightroom for pc and mac

I would love to see LR Mobile for iPhone and iPad become an X-Rite ColorTRUE Aware app. The ColorTRUE SDK is located at xritephoto.com/colortrueSDK.
