P: Export Originals + Settings on Lightroom for iPad

[gannonburgett]

In Lightroom for iPad, it's possible to export an Original (Raw), but not Original + Settings. Why is that the case and is this a feature we could get added in the future considering it's in the desktop version of Lightroom?

Cheers,

Gannon

Will change this into an Idea (Feature Request) as I cannot find an existing thread currently.

The engineering team can then track this.

Try exporting as DNG.

I considered that, but I would like to keep the original Raw file format intact, if possible.

Thanks, Selondon. Hopefully it's a somewhat quick turnaround. Seems like it should be fairly straightforward to implement, but I know not everything is as easy as it seems.

So here's the trick: export as original and export as dng! Then you can use the dng as a kind of sidecar file. You can copy the settings from it and paste them onto the raw.

Clever solution, but it doubles the amount of storage I need and is anything but elegant. I'll just hold out for a more integrated solution. Thanks!

Sure, but this works right here and now. And you can delete the DNGs after you copied the settings to the raw. I would not hold my breath waiting for Adobe to come up with a better solution.
