Adobe has updated its Lightroom app for iPhone and iPad, which can now start editing photos from your camera roll with just a couple of taps, rather than importing an image through a mutli-step process. The app has also made improvements to image sorting.
Lightroom 2.3 contains the following changes:
- New: Access and edit a photo from your Camera Roll faster. Select, edit in Lr, and share from your Camera Roll in fewer steps.
- Updated: Sorting made easier. Now, change the custom sort order regardless of your grid sorting view.
- Improved: Various bug and crash fixes.
You can grab Lightroom 2.3 for iPhone and iPad from the App Store now.
- Free - Download Now

Lightroom makes editing photos from your iPhone and iPad camera even faster
Does Lightroom force you to use a paid Creative Cloud account to use it?
Do you have to use a CC at all for local photo edits?
I don't think so. You need an Adobe account, but that is free. I think you need a subscription to sync and store stuff in the cloud.
Good news: You don't need the acount at all. I've been taking a photo with my iPhone everyday and this has already been useful. In fact, for me, there would be nothing to sync to. The app is iPad only and I don't have the Mac program.
I clicked on the link for the app and I've got a iPhone and it comes up for iPads only. Is that what you meant...or is it supposed to work with iPhones also? Thanks

I was in my iPad mini 2. I read that it requires an account. Sometimes apps are free, but only as part of a service (e.g. Netflix). I'm just going to try it out. Russell Brown did an *amazing* Lr tutorial for the iPad called "Black and White Conversion Techniques" that I hope to try out.
An Adobe account is free. I think you need a CC subscription to use the syncing features and the cloud storage.
Do Lightroom edits sync across devices (with Apple Photos and iCloud)?
It will not, but it will sync edits across CC (Adobe Creative Cloud). So, it will sync Lightroom on you iPad, iPhone, and (if you pay money) desktop. I am just going to export my results to iCloud.
Note: Lightroom is NOT a universal app! There is an iPhone version and iPad version.
