CNET reports Adobe demonstrating an early prototype of a version of Lightroom for tablets, designed primarily to act as a companion app to the full version …

While it’s unlikely that professionals and serious amateurs would use an iPad as their primary editing platform, there’s definite benefit in the ability to do sorting and basic edits at a shoot, or on the way back, and to have those edits sync with the photo when imported into the full version of Lightroom on a Mac.

• The ability to edit photos taken in raw photo formats, including Lightroom develop-module parameters like exposure, clarity, shadows, highlights, and white balance.

• Cloud-synchronized editing so that changes made on a tablet arrive on the same photo on the PC.

• The ability to zoom all the way to 100 percent for checking photo focus and details.

And without promising anything, he said he’d like to see some of Lightroom’s library-module features, like sorting photos into categories or flagging picks and rejects, in the app.
