Travel photography often means shooting in unpredictable light, moving quickly, and editing on the go. Lightroom Mobile is the perfect companion—it gives you professional editing tools right in your pocket. Here are the best tips for travel photographers using Lightroom Mobile.
1. Shoot in RAW (DNG)
Always enable RAW (DNG) in Lightroom Mobile’s built-in camera. This gives you more flexibility to recover details in bright skies or dark shadows.
2. Use Presets for Fast Edits
When traveling, you may not have time for detailed editing. Apply presets for consistent looks across your travel shots—bright & airy for beaches, moody tones for cities, or cinematic tones for landscapes.
3. Organize with Albums
Create albums for each trip or destination. For example: Italy 2025 → Rome, Venice, Florence. This keeps your photos searchable and easy to find later.
4. Sync Across Devices
Enable Creative Cloud sync so your photos are backed up and accessible on your laptop or tablet. Perfect for editing on the plane and finishing on desktop.
5. Use Selective Edits for Skies and Subjects
Travel photos often have tricky lighting. Use AI-powered Select Sky and Select Subject tools to balance exposure—brightening your subject while keeping skies natural.
6. Export for Social Media on the Go
Create export presets for Instagram, Facebook, or blog posts. For Instagram, use JPEG, sRGB, 1080px on the shortest side.
