Hello. Since I started using Lightroom on iPad yesterday, I noticed two unusual changes that impact the user experience quite a lot: first, the grid overlay when editing photos is gone, and second, the rotation feature under Geometry can't be fine-tuned anymore. I'm not sure how to adjust the settings. Please help! Thanks.

Select the Edit adjustments panel on the right, which is above Crop & rotate.
Then toggle on Upright, and switch from Auto to Guided.  Then you can apply your manual lines.

It's the manual lines that you can draw on the image to change geometry manually not automatically. I cannot see any option to use them like I can on my Android phone.

Hello @gabrielcraft_me 

 

I cannot reproduce any trouble in the latest Lightroom Mobile app for iPad v10.4.1, using iOS 17.7.8.  Could you possibly share a screen recording showing the trouble you see?

Myself, I can see grid lines in Crop, where moving borders and rotation makes gridlines appear.

Also, in Edit > Gemoetry I see grid lines when moving sliders.  And when I use guided Upright, I see geometry lines if this is what you mean.

 

Again, seeing a screen recording may help us understand better what you are seeing (or not seeing).

iPad operating system 17.7.8 

Have uninstalled and reinstalled and no positive change

NO GEOMETRY LINES. Cannot use manual geometry settings with four lines. 
Please help.

Greetings all,

 

Adobe Lightroom Mobile product updates are released.  The October (Max) updates contain a fix for this issue. 

Updates will be available via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and the Galaxy App Store. Note that it can take several days for some customers to receive a notification of an available update via their App Store.

 

Thank you for being so patient.

En efecto aparecen la guías, pero de nada sirve si no tienes la cuadricula para poder ajustar de forma precisa dichas líneas. GRACIAS,

Did you toggle the switch next to "Upright"? If you turn on this switch, and then tap on 'Auto', you should get a list of options including 'Guided'.

Hello everyone.


I have a question about the grid in the "geometry" section on iPad... it's practically gone.

Before it worked perfectly, now (despite having the latest version available on the App Store) it no longer exists.

Instead, the same version on iPhone works.

I apologize if it's a question already asked, but before writing it here I searched without results.

Thanks to those who will be able to answer.

Hey, @Emanuele_Puri. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. I'll help you figure this out. 


'the same version on iPhone works'- I am assuming you're referring to Lightroom on the iPhone and iPad. So, I've merged your post to the exisiting parent thread for this bug report.

 

Thanks!

Hallo,

 

mir werden keine Gitterlinien mehr angezeigt wenn ich den Zuschnitt bei Geometrie verändern möchte. Beim iPhone geht es, aber nicht am iPad.  Wie bekomme ich die Gitterlinien zurück?
