Guys, it's time. My phone is more powerful than my laptop, and its screen is also more color accurate, I understand that there will always be features better suited for computers, but this is a low hanging fruit opportunity. Color calibration is key in my editing process, and it's annoying not being able to fully rely on the tool that I have the most with me, my phone, to finish my edits color wise.
Seconded. If the supposed only difference between LR Classic and mobile is meant to be local vs online storage, then there needs to be feature parity. This calibration panel absolutely does not require desktop computing resources to implement (and modern iPads are more than powerful enough these days even if it did), so there's no good reason not to have it.
Adobe, please listen: no one wants a dumbed-down, simpler editor on mobile. We want LR Classic editing on mobile.
Do you mean the camera calibration using a colorchecker chart that creates calibrated camera profiles? Do know that you can import the profiles you create using those tools just fine in Lightroom Cloudy too on your desktop and they will sync to your mobile devices. You can also have the software generate a dng file that you can load on mobile lightroom and import the profile that way if you don't use cloudy Lightroom on your desktop. There are surprisingly few people that use this type of calibration but it is useful that it is available.
Oh that is a legacy thing from very long ago. It will never be available the cloud version as sliders you can manipulate but you can create creative profiles that include these settings that will apply these settings in the cloud Lightroom. You can use camera raw to generate those. The profiles generated this way will work in Classic and cloudy both. You won't see the sliders change but it is applying them behind the scenes as a new zero point for development
It seams that many LightRoom users rely on the colour calibration menu on the Classic version (and on the Cloud version, the menu itself is disabled by default). I'm planning on using it too, since it makes it a lot easier to have balanced photos in terms of colour, so it would be great if it could be available on the mobile app also.
I edit photos on the go, and at this moment I need to spend quite a while ajusting colours using the colour mix menu. Once I get back home I often find myself discarding my colour edits and start again using the colour calibration on the Cloud version.
This has been added to desktop cloud version. Your solution doesn't do the same thing, we want to adjust these sliders for each image individually as well (or at least I do)
+1, this is missing on iPad Pro as of July 2024 for no reason because these devices are extremely performant. It is such a massively important feature for creative edits.
I generally don't understand why there are different develop settings in different versions of Lightroom. All the settings of Lightroom Classic should be in all the other apps. Otherwise this counteracts the idea of the Adobe cloud. When editing on the iPad, why should I suddenly not need a setting I use in Lr Classic?
