Adobe releases major Lightroom 2.0 update for Android with RAW shooting + much more

Lightroom for Android 2

Just over one year ago Adobe brought the first version of its Photoshop Lightroom image editor to Android for the first time, and today the first major overhaul of Lightroom for Android is being released with version 2.0. Lightroom for Android 2 brings the mobile image editor up-to-speed with the iOS version of the same software, and actually goes a step further with RAW image support made possible by Android.

Here’s everything new to expect in the new release:

  • An in-app camera, supporting the capture of images in DNG raw format
  • Shoot-through presets, also available within the in-app camera, enabling previewing and capturing images with a series of built-in presets providing non-destructive editing
  • Dehaze tool to adjust haze and fog in an image
  • Split Toning enhancement, enabling the addition of a color cast to the highlights and shadows of an image, creating a uniquely stylized color image or replicating the look and feel of a traditional toned black and white image
  • Target Adjustment Tool functionality in the Color/B&W editing tool, providing direct, on-image editing controls
  • Point mode in Curve tool providing complete control over the tonality and contrast of an image
  • Enhanced sharing with one-tap access to Adobe Premiere Clip for crafting video stories.

Check out some of these dramatic before-and-after shots edited with Lightroom 2 for Android and captured by photographer Colby Brown.

Lightroom for Android 2 is hitting the Google Play Store now. Lightroom is free to try with an Adobe ID for a limited time, or available with Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography plan subscription for full access.
