Adobe - hello, I’m not sure if it’s possible or not but I’d love to have a left handed option for Lightroom cc on the iPad - where all of the settings are on the left. It’s especially tough when using the Apple Pencil with it crossing over the image. I know that’s a huge ask and probably not in the pipeline but thought I’d throw it out there. Thanks. Jeff

I use Lightroom for iPad with an apples pencil, and when I make adjustments I can't always see what I'm doing with my hand in the way. I'd really appreciate being able to switch the toolbar to the left side so I dont have to reach across the screen to control sliders.

In Lightoom for iPad, tap App Settings > Input. Then toggle Left-handed editing on.

Hello, I use Lightroom application on galasy tab s9 fe+ device.

I'm Left-handed. I think lightroom is only for right-handed people.

 

When I use this app on my pad with pen, my hand interrupts the screen.

So, I feel really uncomfortable.

For left-handed people to use the application comfortably, add a function that can move or change the layout(UI) to the left.

It's there a fix for the Android tablet yet? This is discrimination.

I use a Samsung Tablet, and lefthanded option is not available. It makes editing so hard.

Lefties, rejoice!

For those using LR mobile for iPad, click on the 3 dots at the top left of the screen when in edit mode.

App Settings > Input > Left-handed editing (at the very bottom).

Hello!

 

Is there any way to change the background color of the iPad Lightroom CC interface? I need to be able to edit with a white background, as that is how my images are ultimately viewed. 

 

I know this is possible on Classic on the computer, but haven't been able to find it on the Mobile version of CC.

 

Using Lightroom V8.0.0 on a 2022 iPad Pro 12.9 inch. 

 

Thank you!
