this video is mainly for the photographers out there looking for a nice mobile version of Lightroom for your tablet first of all I agree Lightroom is really poorly designed for tablets it's not finger friendly at all and can't just rely Aventis as impossible to use second of all I found something that's compatible with Lightroom and works a lot better on a tablet for reviewing photos while on the go it's called fewer this is Adaline from pocket out and let's check it out so usually the first thing I want to do after a photo shoot is to flip through all the pictures and start choosing the ones they're good before I go editing now here I am in Lightroom and again and like I said that it's not touch friendly at all it's not even stylus friendly because the scroll bars are on the left and now I can't see anything it also took me about a half hour to get all these pictures into Lightroom 5 because it has to import them into a database Bridge is slightly better you don't have to import them into a database so you can start working with them right away and it also has this nifty little review mode which is pretty finger friendly you can see I can flick through and flick the ones that I don't like sometimes but you see it's not terribly responsive so check out this app here's viewer and from here you can add folders so you can choose which folder you want to look at there's the one I'm looking at and right here I have my colored labels and my stars if I turn on the Settings over here I can do Auto advanced reading Auto advanced color and so right now next one that's a bit bad one bad one bad one this one's a maybe I'll go next one that was pretty good that was a three that was a maybe once that very good mm-hmm so really quickly just with one touch I'm ranking all of these photos now this app is adding metadata to these pictures they're all raw files so that's the one thing but it's adding metadata that is going to be imported into Lightroom or bridge or Corel after shot so I'm not replacing Lightroom but I'm adding something to the workflow that works really well on tablet for your first initial ranking and reviewing process now you can see this is very quick here's something else I can show the keyword listing and I can add a keyword so let's say crop this so now I've added a keyword to this photo you can see it listed right down there tiny little word and we can add as many keywords as we want so I'm gonna crop that one later let's find some of the good ones and this is a good one I'm going to crop that and I'm also gonna retouch it so let's add that as a keyword and I'm gonna apply it so I have crop and retouch listed there now okay so let's go back to one of the other apps I have a bridge and you see right away those keywords show up right here so I can select all the pictures that I want to crop so say my desktop computer at home I'm gonna use that for editing I can really easily find the ones that I want to crop I can find the ones that I want to retouch there's the one that I marked as retouch for keyword and I can find all the high-ranking pictures really quickly you're probably thinking yeah that looks pretty fast for a expensive surface pro 2 with a gigs of RAM and whatnot about something cheaper like a $200 Dell Venue 8 Pro alright I'll show you how that works okay so here is a SD card I took out up camera just camera right there and I'm gonna plug it into the dáil and then I'm gonna launch fewer this is how it loads and we gotta add a folder I'm gonna find oh this is the one that I want so it's going to show that folder and then I can open it and you see how quickly it loads all these so you can see I can rate all of these really quickly and the data is going right to my SD card over there so when I get home I can just plug that as d card into my main computer import those into Lightroom and all of this metadata is gonna be preserved we can also show thumbnails of all the pictures and you can see the rankings right there next one as well as the labels and it's the colored labels you see a little bit of lag but we're talking about 750 raw photos here and this is a Bay Trail Atom processor with 2 gigs of RAM and 32 gigs of storage with barely any free space left so this is pretty high performance for something that will quickly let you flip through all your raw photos rank them add keywords it's really really nice for photographers on the go this is Adam Lane from PocketNow hope you enjoyed this video be sure to give it a thumbs up and that's it for now you
