I often get asked about editing and sharing images from mobile devices, imagine the scenario - you've taken a few photos on your phone and you want to send them to friends and family but attaching more than half a dozen at original size puts your email above a 20MB limit that many email servers enforce.
Why not resize them, with minimal effort and without importing them into Lightroom?
At least that's how I like to deal with my mobile phone images.
Here it's possible to resize using Adobe Lightroom Mobile using the following steps:
- So here we've opened Lightroom on mobile, in this case it's Android on a Samsung.
- Let's choose Gallery at the bottom. That will take us to images which aren't in Lightroom's ecosystem, just on the device and accessible.
- Choose your image, make your edits. Here I'm doing a simple crop edit on this image from Dalkey, south of Dublin, and its 14th century castle.
- Once you have finished your edits choose the tick symbol.
- Then in the top right of the image choose the share symbol.
- Then choose Export as...
- Make adjustments here such as image size, quality, file type, watermark and Content Credentials then the tick mark at the top right to save the exported file.
