Tip Tuesday: How to Save a RAW Photo Taken with Lightroom Mobile’s Camera App to Your Camera Roll

Posted by | Oct 9, 2018 | , , |

By default, RAW photos taken with Lightroom Mobile’s built-in camera app go directly into Lightroom — not into your cell phone’s Camera Roll, but if you want to save one of those original RAW images to your Camera Roll (apparently, a lot of folks want to do this), here’s how: Tap on the image you want to save to your Camera Roll, then tap on the “Share” icon up top. A pop-down menu will appear and you’ll want to tap on ‘Export Original’ and the RAW image will be saved to your camera roll. Easy as that.   This...

In the File Settings section of the Export dialog (Command-Shift-E [PC: Ctrl-Shift-E]), you get to choose your file type (JPEG, TIFF, and so on), but it’s making the right Color Space choice that determines if the colors of your image look pretty much like you see here in Lightroom, or whether they’ll be pretty much messed up. I’ll make it simple: choose sRGB for posting images to the web. They’ll look the closest by far to what you’re seeing onscreen in Lightroom.

Go under the Filter menu, under Sharpen, and choose Smart Sharpen. As the name implies, this is a smarter way to sharpen your image (with new math that’s much more advanced than the Unsharp Mask filter, which believe it or not, was in Photoshop version 1.0). The Smart Sharpen filter lets you apply more sharpening with less of the “bad stuff” associated with sharpening (like increased noise, halos that appear around the edges of objects, or little specks or artifacts in the sharpened image).

It’s an easy-to-remember shortcut: to hide the Edit Pins (seen circled above in red) on your image in the Develop module, just press the letter H on your keyboard. To bring them back, just press H again. If you just want them hidden temporarily, press-and-hold H and they’ll stay hidden as long as you hold that key down. When you release the key, you can see the pins again.   Excerpted from the newest title from #KelbyOneBooks: How Do I Do That In Lightroom Classic, 2nd Edition, by Scott Kelby....

This is a two-parter, because it starts with you creating a metadata template with your copyright info (you do this before you even open the Import window and luckily you just have to do this once). In the Library module, go under the Metadata menu (up at the top of the screen) and choose Edit Metadata Presets to bring up the Edit Metadata Presets dialog (shown above left). Just type in all your copyright info, then from the Preset pop-up menu, choose Save Current Settings as New Preset, and give your preset a name (I named mine, “Scott’s Copyright.”...
