Spot Removal Tool in Lightroom Mobile

I don’t think that means anything. LR mobile will copy over edits even if they can only be done on the desktop. This kind of allows you to make presets even with settings mobile doesn’t support by editing an image in the desktop, synch it with mobile and then copy those settings to other images.

Why?

There re is absolutely no reason why that would be better to do on a desktop computer. The iPad is a touch interface, which now has a very accurate pen tool. With the non destructive type of spot healing that is available on the desktop version of Lightroom it would be a breeze to do dust spotting and small blemish  removal of hairs and other small things that are tedious and time consuming to do on the desktop version.

i already have switched to doing a large amont of my spot healing in Lightroom, from Photoshop as it's easy, fast and in the same workflow as my raw editing and I can then have a non destructive archive referencing my files with nearly all the work I need done on the images In one place.

I shoot mostly film and do high res scans and so dust spotting and hair removal is the most used task for this in my workflow. It would be so time saving to be able to do this in the Lightroom mobile app.

Saying that it would be better to do it on a real computer is completely short sighted. Haven't you noticed, an ipad/or other similar devices have slowly become the real computers.

I know of the workaround using Adobe photoshop fix, but the problem here is that it's creating a new flattened file. This is a file that is based off a smart preview, then saved to your device and then synced back in the cloud. It is not the original file and it is not full resolution. I want to still be able to head back to my main computer and export the files from my archive at full size.

Whatever makes the input more organic is going to win out. Please Adobe, could you make this possible. I want to buy the new iPad and I want to keep supporting Apple and Adob, but you need to start responding to the professionals needs

Alll the best
