Photo editing is today an indispensable companion when it comes to moving around the internet and especially on Social Networks. We are always looking for a way to have images that stand out trying to generate a good quality in them. Although the steps during the photographing process are vital, later editing will end up giving a more complete sense with better results. Although digital publishing began as a practically the protagonist on PC desktops, the truth is that over time we have seen an evolution of applications where there has been a good synapse between the PC and mobile worlds..
This evolution has allowed us to have software versions from our mobile phones that could only be used on a computer before. This forced us to have to take our equipment everywhere to be able to edit with the requirements that this entailed. But with the appearance of adapted applications we have seen that these lines of separation have blurred and now our mobile or Tablet are our best ally.
Among the multiple photo and video editing tools that we can find today, the options that Adobe provides stand out at a professional level, since we can have Photoshop or Lightroom in a mobile version. This allows us to have professional results with only our phone, with the speed often involved in editions such as Social Networks. Within the Adobe suite we will be able to have a version for mobile devices:

Some of the Adobe applications that you can find in a mobile version are:

As you can see, Adobe allows us to have a full range of applications at a professional level only from our mobile or Tablet. That is why it will no longer be an excuse to have the PC at home or in the office when we need professional results for photography or video, Lightroom Mobile will be our great ally. That is why today we are going to start by talking about what Lightroom Mobile is and what Lightroom Mobile is for..
1 How to install Lightroom Mobile
The Lightroom Mobile application is available in a mobile version for both Android and iOS systems and this allows us to professionally edit our images in both software. The first thing we have to take into account is that an editing program or application usually requires complete hardware, so the better your specifications are, the better the Lightroom app will perform. Many times we try to install applications that are very demanding of resources on limited devices and that means that we cannot get the most out of them, even causing slowdowns in use. Therefore, we recommend that the first thing you do is check if your mobile device has the minimum necessary requirements:
Minimum requirements for Android
To install Lightroom Mobile on Android we will need:
- At least we will need a 1.5GHz 4-core CPU processor with ARMv7 architecture and a 2.2 GHz 4-core CPU and ARMv8 architecture is recommended.
- Minimum 2GB of RAM required, although 6GB or more is recommended.
- Minimum internal storage of 8GB although it is recommended to have 64GB or more.
- Minimum software version supported by Oreo 8.X and later.
Minimum requirements for iOS
To install Lightroom Mobile on iOS we will need:
- Minimum iOS version 14.0 or later of any iPhone or iPad.
Step 1
Once we know that we do meet the hardware and software requirements to be able to install Lightroom Mobile, we can proceed to download and install the application. To do this we will go to the App Store or Play Store and install it.
