Question

disable swiping transition between photos on lightroom mobile

I want to make lightroom mobile on my ipad my daily driver for photo editing. The largest difficulty switching from desktop to ipad though, is that swiping between every photo slides the whole photo across the screen. While this looks pretty, it makes it extremely difficult to look for minute differences between two photos taken at roughly the same moment. I am left guessing which one looks better overall, without being able to critically see the difference between two photos. I dont know if everyone needs this disabled, so if it were a preference that would be fine, but I imagine this would be beneficial to anyone who shoots many photos over the course of a day. Thank you

I'm looking how to solve this problem! I really would like to cull my photos while I'm resting in a chair or in my bed. I opted to dowload an app for my phone to turn it into a customizable keyboard and avoid those photo transitions, puttin it just behind the IPad and use it like a custom back touch screen, a bit awkard but better than nothing. Really? no official way to dissable photo transitions in the app? This is driving nuts!

The only possibility for what you are asking is to use the arrow keys on an Apple keyboard cover, or maybe try an external bluetooth beyboard.  Navigating to previous/next image via arrow keys on a keyboard is much snappier than swiping.
