This got me to thinking if perhaps there was a way to automate this so that each image would just go into a collection as they come in to Lightroom via tethering? Currently Lightroom mobile doesn’t support Lightroom’s Smart Collections. I had never thought of using the Target Collection in this way and it makes total sense. However, it does require more interaction on your part as you have to hit “b” for each image you want to be added to the collection. This is an awesome way to work and it allows you to show only the BEST images to your client, director, assistant, etc. Since Lightroom mobile is a two-way communication between the iPad and the desktop version of Lightroom she could also flag or star rate images on the iPad and those flags and ratings would appear in Lightroom on the desktop for Scott to look at further and tweak if needed. Now the creative director could see the images on the iPad from any location and help direct the shoot, make changes to the wardrobe, etc. He made that collection the “target collection” (a Lightroom feature) so that as he saw images coming in from his camera that he really liked all he had to do was hit the letter “b” on his keyboard to add those images to the collection that was sync’d to Lightroom Mobile. He had a collection marked to sync with Lightroom mobile and his creative director was holding his iPad. Recently Scott Kelby did a post “ My First Studio Shoot Using Lightroom Mobile” during this shoot he was shooting tethered from his DSLR to his computer running Lightroom 5.5 desktop. I call the first method “Selective Tethering”
HOW DOES EYE FI WORK DOWNLOAD
You can download Lightroom for iPad here: The Creative Cloud Photography program is affordable at only $9.99/month and includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom, and unlimited syncing to Lightroom mobile. There are two ways to shoot tethered to Lightroom mobile:īefore we get into the methods you’re going to need Lightroom 5.5 and a Creative Cloud membership. In studio I’m shooting either tethered directly to Lightroom via a USB cable, to my computer from my Nikon D4 via Ethernet or via the Nikon WT-5A Wireless Transmitter to a folder where the images are auto imported into Lightroom. Now that Lightroom mobile is here, the question becomes can I shoot tethered into Lightroom mobile and the answer is yes! However, even though the answer is yes, it still involves your computer as there is still no way to connect your camera directly to your iPad via a USB cable and shoot tethered like you do with your computer. The images wirelessly transfer from my camera to my iPad. The Eye-Fi cards create their own ad-hoc network and therefore no hotspot is required. I personally use an Eye-Fi card when I’m out in the field and my iPad then becomes a nice big 10″ display to preview my shots.

However, I can’t tell you how many people have asked me about tethering directly to an iPad pretty much since the 1st shipped in 2010. Lightroom has allowed for USB tethered capture from popular Nikon and Canon cameras for several years now.
