Lightroom and iPhone

I realize this post will only be relevant to a few people, but if you shoot in RAW, use Adobe Lightroom to manage your photos, and have an iPhone then read on.

Adobe’s Terry White has a great guest post on Scott Kelby’s blog outlining his Export Preset process to get his photos from Lightroom to the iPhone as quickly and easily as possible.

Luckily, whether you’re on a Mac or a Windows PC, you can use Adobe Photoshop Lightroom to automate the entire process. It’s all in the Export presets. I have several Export presets setup in Lightroom for all the various ways I share photos. I also have one setup specifically to go to iPhoto. Now I realize iPhoto is a Mac only app. Don’t worry PC users, I’ve got you covered too. Hang in there with me. Since the iPhone can sync which ever photos and albums you specify in iTunes from iPhoto, it makes sense to take advantage of this app since it comes with every new Mac.

Let me be clear! I don’t use iPhoto to manage my photos. I use Lightroom. However, I do take my best/favorite shots from LR into iPhoto as JPEGs. Once those shots are in iPhoto I can then sync them to my iPhone, iPod or Apple TV.
