Today Adobe announced the availability of Lightroom mobile for Android phones. Lightroom mobile is a companion app to the Lightroom 5 desktop software—part of Adobe Creative Cloud. First released for iPad and iPhone, Lightroom mobile offers users the ability to edit, organize and share images anywhere and anytime.

Built on cloud sync architecture, Lightroom mobile is an efficient way to manage/edit images across desktop, mobile devices and the Web. With the Creative Cloud Photography Plan, users have access to pro quality photographic workflows on desktops and smartphones, allowing users to perfect images on any device.

Lightroom Mobile Features Include:

Sync edits, metadata and collection changes to the Lightroom catalog on you Mac (or Windows) computer.

Automatically import images from your smartphone gallery and sync back to the Lightroom catalog on your desktop.

Edit the images using the Lightroom tools and presets—including non-destructive processing using Smart Previews (based on DNG file format, offering the same flexibility of processing/editing a Raw file, 5 percent of the original file size).

Users can quickly flag and reject photos.
