- Photo editing using Lightroom on the iPad can be amazing but you don't need the biggest screen to get the best results. In this week's video I show how I use my professional photography workflow on the new Apple iPad Mini 2021 -- Apple's smallest ever iPad.
I show how to organise images using albums, how to easily delete images and how to sync edits to save time.

finally, I can buy the mini. I was looking for a photographer/editor's perspective on the mini. Thanks.
Glad I could help!
I use the 5th mini for photo editing. I used to have a 12.9 inch which had a beautiful huge screen, great for drawing but it never left my desk. Too big. The mini is just way more hand held, one handed it’s so nice and light and the screen is still great with amazing colour representation
It’s been 1yr. How do you like it
this is EXACTLY what I've been waiting to see- a Lightroom specific workflow video
Very happy to be of help! Thanks for watchin!
Me too.. i was thinkinv buying tis 1.. but afraid mini cnt supprt photoshp edditng.. but tis video is make my mind
Loving those noir shots and thankyou for the tips. I have an iPad Air so the best of both worlds-not too small not too big! More ipad tutorials please 😊
Can't describe how much this video has helped me. I need an iPad for Lightroom. I just couldn't decide whether to go for Air or Mini. I was more keen on the mini, because it fits nicely in your hand, its easy to compose emails and taking notes. I really like the big screen, but I get easily tired working on large frame tablets. I think this would be perfect for my need. Thank you so much for the video!
Thanks so much for watching and glad it's been helpful! All the best with your new Mini!
This is great. I spend too much time in front of my iMac editing, often after spending time over the work computer as well, which is beginning to make my photography feel less like a hobby. I'd been considering getting an iPad to do more of my editing without being stuck at a computer, and also to help my workflow which is dreadful. You've got a really keen eye for editing too.
Thanks! Very helpful. I also do a lot of editing on my iPhone and it is surprisingly effective. Nice to see the way you work.
thank you so much for this information..just purchased this make my life so easy…❤️❤️❤️
This video got me actually looking at the mini when I was tempted at getting the 12,9” pro . I bought the mini
2021 for my wife as she was reading a lot on her phone. I bought the pencil and tried out Lightroom on her mini. This video and the fact I can fit the device in a pocket of my uniform got me buying the 256GB version that I hope to use for at least the next 5 to 6 years.
Thanks Maarten, I hope it serves you well! I love using mine for editing as it's so comfortable to hold and edit on the sofa -- and especially when travelling -- and it's perfectly powerful enough for editing high resolution raw files.
It won’t be 5 years cus the clip is getting better and it’s very important for photo editing
Thanks so much for the tutorials on Lightroom cloud version/iPad. In my camera club of about 150 people, I’m the only one I know of using the cloud version. I love it and find that my workflow is similar to yours. Still, I always find some useful tips and tricks from your videos. I usually load new images through my iPad because it is quicker than loading through my PC. Hopefully, I’ll be receiving a new iMac 24” M1 (1Tb SSD, 16 GB ram) in a week or so.
Thanks for watching, Lee! I imagine most people are using Lightroom Classic? I use that most of the time to be fair, and it has some important tools that Adobe are yet to put into the mobile version. But it's so close to be being better now and I'm sure you've noticed that it runs SO much faster than LR Classic! And the cloud syncing is just a dream if you work across multiple devices. Your camera club will come around to it eventually and then you'll be seen as the thought-leader and everyone will ask for your recommendations later on.
@@AndrewLanxonPhotography As you suggest, virtually everyone uses LRc, but Capture 1 is being used by some. Just a few more capabilities and we’ll see how it goes. Looks like the new masking algorithms will close some of the gap.
Lovely photo in the background.
Love learning new things. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching!
Great video! This is exactly my use case for the mini as it’s great to throw in a small bag and edit in the field. Thanks!
Great demonstration of what this little iPad is capable of. How is it keeping up after one year?
I’m on the edge of ditching my iPad Pro 11” M1 to get this and photo/video editing is my first concern.
Great informative vid. Have been loving the new iPad Mini for Lightroom editing
Thanks very much, Simon!
Super helpful! Just what I was hoping.
Thanks so much, Maria!
Good tips, which I watched on the new iPad mini for bonus effect
Superb and practical overview and tutorial Andrew. I use LR Classic on the iMac and while the SW has competition on OSX IMHO LR Mobile is peerless. Nothing else comes close. I love the new masking on LR 11 and, voila, it’s on LR Mobile too! I have a Pro 11” and an iPad Mini on the way! Taking my X-Pro2 and 16-55 and GRIII I now think all I need is my Peak Design 6L bag. BTW what’s the nifty little stand?
Hi Andrew, I appreciate your tutorial it has everything I need for my photography editing and will buy the LR for sure. You have my sub 👍
Thanks so much!
great video thanks for sharing
Great video and B&W shots
where did you get the stand from ? Please
Great video, subscribed 👌
Thanks Paul, a pleasure to have you along!
great tutorial for b&w editing!!! thanx much. I just got the Ipad mini 6, but only with 64 gb, and I wonder if lightroom will take up too much memory for it to be effective...
Hi Rafael, thanks for watching. Lightroom will sync photos to the cloud which can mean you don't need to take up as much room on your ipad for storing photos. 64gb isn't a lot of space but it should be enough if you're smart with how you use it. In lightroom settings you can clear the cache as well to free up more space. Even on my 512gb ipad I only have 7gb of local files in lightroom.
Great video!
Do you know if Samsung Tablets supports the full version of PS for editing photos like the iPad?
gracias muy bueno el tip!
Great video. Wanted to see how the mini looks when editing it. Still not sold on it though, as I feel i'd want a bigger screen for specifically for photo editing as I dont own any larger ipads. But damn I love the size of mini. Decisions decisions...
Thanks so useful
Great video, I was thinking about the iPad mini today. Just recently bought a mint unused X-T3.
Just the video i was looking for
I was on the fence about the mini but this helps a lot! Thanks!
This is a really helpful video.
Subscribed as I had not found your channel previously
I had not realised that the ipad mini was up to the task of using LR.
Definitely going to get one, now👍
I think one other person asked this also, but we LIKE that stand!
Would you be kind enough to advise about it.
Glad it was helpful, thanks for subscribing!
Never used a Mac product but I'm going to buy this, been looking at it for a few weeks now, you've answered my question about Lightroom being effective since it only has 4 gigabytes of RAM, but my question is is this the full version of Lightroom or Lightroom mobile you're using? Also can Nikon software be downloaded onto this device? 'Nikon Studio raw editor' any response greatly appreciated, thank you!
Awesome.. subscribed..👍
The large variety of productivity/entertainment uses for the Mini demonstrates how versatile it can be for so many people. Master of Nun - But Good at a lot of stuff - Fine by me!!!
I bought an iPad Mini 2 Cellular 10 years ago. I do not browse with it - I'm an adult - so I use my 14" laptop to browse and an Apple TV for viewing.
After 10 years of ownership - I use my Mini almost exclusively when I "TRAVEL" - to do the following (otherwise it sits in a drawer)
#1- as a GPS unit in my vehicles - the best GPS ever (70%) That's after over 150K miles of road trips (FYI - lots of pilots use the Mini for realtime in-flight information)- when I need a GPS around town - my iPhone works fine.
#2 - as a Sidecar or mirror screen to view video paired with a M2 MBA (25%)
#3 - as an eReader (4%)
#4 - the odd miscellaneous task (1%) This might change with the pencil.
I will likely buy the new Mini 7 when it comes out @ year end. The Mini is simply a great portable high performance device that sits between an iPhone & MBA M2 as a complimentary but not essential device.
Awesome Video. It was perfect! This makes my buying decision easier 👍📸 Thanks 🙏🏼
can you please show how you do panoramas with lightroom mobile when "it is exactly the same like the desktop version" oh yeah, and bracketing ;-)
nice video!
Will the Mini be a better solution than the iPad 10 gen?
I don’t have LR and playing around with Darkroom which is free
is it possible to save all photos by selecting all like we paste the preset?
How's the color accuracy is it accurate after the edit?
Quick question, dose the Lightroom on the IPad mini 6 drain the battery so fast
Do you use the 64GB or 256GB version. I am trying to find out if the 64 version is enough for the photography apps. Thank you
Can you rate the images on the SD card without importing them to the ipad?
Thank's I follow you now 😎🇲🇶
does the i pad shoots in RAW? I want to start in the photography but I don't even have a camera, or a phone, so I was thinking in which should I buy, a motorola phone that shoot in raw but its not super professional or save a little bit more and buy this Ipad? hope u could help me, nice videoooo
You can shoot with the Lightroom camera for raw.
What kind of stand is that you have on the ipad mini?
Andrew, 2 questions. 1) Do you use Lightroom Classic when you are at home with your main computer? 2) I need something lighter than my 13 inch M1 MacBook Pro while travelling to do simple Lightroom edits . Look like the IPad Mini all work. But in terms of the whole work flow, how do you sync the images and catalog with your laptop or desktop at the end of a travel session. The video hints that you rely on Lightroom Cc’s sync function to Lightroom Classic.
Do you have a Pro Max iPhone? Does this affect your opinion being so close in size?
What size Mini is this?
I've been looking for this video ! I used to do a lot of photography and edit in Lightroom. Having not used an iPad or Lightroom for years, this is the video I needed to see! Thanks for making it :)
Thank you Katy, I'm really glad it was helpful!
I'm looking for a desktop replacement with a great screen for editing. I'm out 90% of the day and have no desire to sit behind a screen to edit photos so this might be a winner. Does iPad iOS recognize cr3 files ? Android dropped support for those files and I was bonkers mad you know lol. So I would plug a card into my phone or Android tablet and auto sync but now Lightroom won't auto add the files big no no android.
I'm pretty sure it does support .CR3 files although I haven't tested that myself so I can't say for certain. Lightroom supports them at least so you'd be able to import them, but whether you can view them directly in the iPad image gallery in raw format I'm not sure.
is it able to adjust dpi ?
Do you need to re-save after editing or does it save automatically?Do you keep all edit photos in Lr or move back to hard drive?
if it works anything like the desktop version then the edits are non-destructive and not applied to the original files, but applied on the fly during export.
can you use photoshop on it?
Good morning. Very good movie. Sorry, I don't speak English and I use google translator. If you can please write me:
1. Ipad mini - which version is in the movie
2. Is the Lightroom you show free or the paid version
Very good movie. Is there an adapter for iPad for Compact Flash cards? Do you know maybe?
for me take like 10 seconds for setting to be apply on my photos in Ipad mini , I dont have any other app on My ipad , but the lightrroom is sooo slow for rendering and exporting and applying setting.
This is the video I’ve been looking for this whole week! You just helped me make a decision. I was deciding between iPad Air 4 or this Mini 6. I thought(kinda afraid) that the screen on mini will be too small for serious photo editing and should go for Air 4. But then the 256gb storage is way too expensive on the bigger one. But now I finally decided that I will buy the iPad Mini 6!
Previously I tried carrying around iPad 6th gen in my camera bag(with 150-600mm lens in it too) and found it to be too heavy and hurt my shoulder and want to something lighter.
Do you think 64gb is enough?
Wait... iPad Air 4 with 256 is the same price as mini 6 with 256 GB :D
Hey, thanks so much for watching! I think the Mini is a great size really, so don't worry about it being too small. Storage is really up to whatever you can afford. Personally I think it's always best to future proof yourself by saving a little longer and getting the bigger version. Lightroom does have cloud storage so you don't need to keep your raw files saved locally, which helps, but even so 64GB can run out quite quickly. Hope that helps!
I went with Air 4 256gb 🤣 I suddenly need a bigger screen due to new tasks given by my boss lol
Which LR we can install in the iPad mini !? Mobile ou Desktop version !?!?
The iPad mini will run 'LR' (Lightroom) as it's now called, rather than 'LRC' (Lightroom Classic). It's not really called 'mobile' anymore as it's built to work on desktop too.
What's the difference between Lr and Ps?
can you work with camera raws on ipad?
yes
How do you get a jpeg webready in LR? I need it for a website;-) 72dp
i use the ipad a year now for photo edits Really so much easier I shoot festivals Really everything is better
I edit mostly on my phone but I fear the day it decides to over heat on the rendering it will kill my phone, so judging by this video, I’ll be fine
So which one you prefer mini or air for photo editing?
I don't have the Air, but between the Pro and the Mini, it really depends on the situation. At home, or travelling without weight restrictions, the Pro is great. I love the bigger screen. But the Mini is superb for always having on you and editing quickly on location. It's also a LOT cheaper and has enough power to handle Lightroom.
@@AndrewLanxonPhotography Thanks :)
Hi, I'm really on the fence about choosing the mini or the pro mostly for lightroom editing and media consumption, Having used a used Air with a broken touch id that I'm returning, I found it great but if its not on a stand a little big to move around like on the couch or in bed, I feal that the air pro just won't follow me around as much but that I might miss the screen real estate for editing...I think I will give the mini a spin..
for me it's down to the ergonomics. I've never liked the big ipads, I find holding one with one hand a pain, so I end up just using it like a desktop which defeats the point. The mini is the perfect size for one handed handling if you like that sort of thing. Had one years ago but they've come on leaps and bounds now.
Are you using a 64GB or 256GB Mini? Apologies if you said in the video, I didn't catch it.
I'm using a 256gb one here though the raw files don't save locally so storage isn't a huge issue for me
@@AndrewLanxonPhotography I've ordered a 256 one, better safe than sorry though I could do without spending the extra money. I'm thinking that the RAWs must be temporarily stored locally until they are uploaded to cloud.
Tinder feelings! LOL
I really ought to stop watching these videos as I already have 3 iPads and iPhone (big ones) and I don't think my wife would be happy if I got a mini too! But you do make it look an attractive proposition!
How do you like this vs the new iPad 9 ?
I've only used the new Mini and the most recent iPad Pro M1, and they both have their advantages -- I love the Mini for just chucking in my photography bag and doing quick edits on a weekend away.
This just made me say forget the pro because of my budget
Spot Karo Bhai,,,

The Mini is too small for photo editing. I prefer the larger screen of an Air or Pro.
