Owning Lightroom 5 alone won’t cut it, I’m 90% certain (Trying to confirm this with Adobe presently). The very first thing to know is that you need a Creative Cloud subscription in order to access the Adobe Lightroom mobile system. But enough about that! How does it work? Here’s a brief rundown: The very first generation of an app, and it has run almost flawlessly thus far. It runs super smoothly! It has “closed unexpected” a few times when I’m right in the middle of syncing hundreds of photos and editing images at the same time, but it has never froze nor have I come across any true “bugs.” Yes, you heard me right.

I find this to be a solution for someone on-the-go who needs to synchronize work between a desktop and a laptop. I already have my main Lightroom catalog LRCAT file hosted on a cloud service, ( Copy, by Barracuda Networks) so I can easily access my Lightroom catalog from multiple computers. One thing I had been interested in over the years is finding new ways to use the cloud to enable my workflow on multiple computers (and devices) as seamlessly as possible. Maybe all of the above? When it was officially announced however, I did start to get a little excited, and here’s why: I don’t know if it was because I was simply too busy, or I was getting tired of rumors, or because the idea just didn’t truly excite me.
