Adobe has updated its Lightroom app for iPhone and iPad today, adding the long awaited feature that allows users to directly import images without having to first go via the Photos or Files apps.

Adobe has brought its popular image editing app Lightroom to the Mac App Store. Apple confirmed as much when it announced the redesigned store as part of the macOS Mojave announcement a year ago, and it’s now happened.

If you’re a Lightroom CC user, then you’re in for a treat, because a newly released software update means that you’re going to gain a pretty awesome feature – support for Shortcuts.

Adobe treated professional and aspiring artists alike with flurry of new apps and updates to its existing portfolio, creating an aura of excitement so intense that a key development went unnoticed. Adobe has eliminated the traditional dependencies of its Photoshop Lightroom app for iPhone and the iPad, making the app a truly standalone product.
