LR Mobile - Captured Images

Report · Jul 27, 2023

This is probably a noob question, but I cannot seem to find the answer:

I have Lightroom Mobile for iOS, no subscription, just the free version for now. When I take a photo using Lightroom Mobile's camera, the photo does not seem to get saved anywhere. How do I access photos taken with the Lightroom app's camera?

The help page for the "Capture Photos" option states "The captured photo is automatically added to your Lightroom catalog."(Source:Learn how to capture stunning DNG and raw photos in Lightroom for mobile (iOS) (adobe.com)), but I cannot figure out where that is. The Lightroom app has three options down at the bottom (Device, Edits, Discover), and when I go to "Device" I can click on "Recents" on the top and see the same albums that show up in my stock "Photos" app. One of these is named "Lightroom". Photos taken with my stock camera app show up here. However, the photos that I took with the Lightroom app's camera do not appear in any of the albums shown on this page.

This is probably pretty easy, I just cannot find where to view the photos that I took within the app.

Found it. It is under Edits - LR Camera Photos.

When you use Lightroom's camera, the image is saved in the Lightroom app. With a premium subscription, photos are automatically uploaded to a cloud server where they are safely backed up.

The Device tab shows you the images on your phone that weren't taken with Lightroom. If you select a photo from here to edit it, the image will be added to the Lightroom app.

Discover shows you photos from other members of the Lightroom community.
