From Lightroom To iPad— Take Two —<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Introduction<\/p>\n\n

Three months ago in “How To Best Export\nLightroom Images to an iPad, iPhone, Etc.<\/a>” I wrote about my old workflow in getting my portfolio photos from Adobe\nLightroom to an iPad. The setup and flow was much<\/i> more complex than one might think it needed to be, mostly due\nto limitations and bugs with iTunes, but also due to some limitations in the Lightroom plugins I was using. I was happy\nto have eked out the best quality iTunes allowed, but the whole process felt horribly clunky.<\/p>\n\n

I've now solved many of the problems I ran into then, in part by making major updates to the plugins I use in\nLightroom, and also by abandoning Apple's “Photos” app in favor of a third-party photo-viewing iPad app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n

The overall workflow is now smoother and faster in most every respect.<\/p>\n\n

In this post I'll talk about Lightroom setup, photo selection and processing, and exporting photos to the iPad. I'll\nframe the presentation in the context of the app I use on my iPad, but the bulk of the discussion is relevant for any\nLightroom-to-device workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n
