Lightroom Android 2.0

Last week, Adobe accidentally leaked the details for its upcoming 2.0 update for Android. Now, it’s officially out and ready to be downloaded by Android users across the globe.

Inside the new update a plethora of new features, tools and visual adjustments to help improve the capture, edits and sharing of photos while on the go.

Traditionally, Android has received the short end of the stick from Adobe, with iOS getting certain features far before Android. That changes with version 2.0 though. Lightroom for Android is surpassing its iOS counterpart by including the ability to shoot and edit RAW photos in the DNG format. Not all smartphone will be able to shoot RAW, but any recent Android device running Lollipop should be able to get in on the action.
