We start by firing up the Lightroom
CC app on your mobile device and
begin with the Lightroom CC front screen.
You will see the thumbnail marked All
Photos and below that is space for any
of the Albums you create. Let’s begin by
tapping the plus icon to the right of the
Album's title.3 With the new Album created and
ready for images, you have two ways
in which you are able to add photographs
to your collection. The first option you can
choose is to tap the three vertical dots to
the right of the Album and then select Add
Photos from the menu that pops up from
the bottom of the screen.2 This will open a text box for you to
enter the name of the new Album.
By default the Lightroom app inserts the
current time and date but you can add
whatever name you want. Tap the OK
button when you’re ready to continue.
A new album will be created with the
filename you’ve used.4 The second method available to
you is to tap the Album to enter it,
then tap the Add Photos button at the
bottom of the screen and choose images
from there. Either way, you can now
select the images you want to add to the
new Album by selecting each in turn and
tapping the Add button.Organising Your
Mobile Device
Lightroom in its mobile form uses Albums to help sort and organise your
photos; think of an Album like a traditional photo collection. They help
split the device’s photos into categories, so you can have outdoors shots
in one Album and people in another, for example.
