Adobe Lightroom for Samsung Galaxy brings new presets for the premium subscription and Now avaiable in Philippines and Malaysia.

We are all happy that Samsung has launched another add-on to their flagship “S” series today. I am talking about the feature-rich Galaxy S23 series, the only smartphone with a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 camera sensor. I agree that other phones have such camera pixel capacity, but the Galaxy S23 Ultra has something special from Adobe that makes it more special to us.

The Galaxy S23, on the other hand, is powered by a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, which has remarkable processing capacity. But since the S23 uses computational image technology and has a 200MP camera lens, Samsung partnered with Adobe to include Lightroom as the default editor. The phone can take RAW photos like a DSLR. We’ll discuss what we can do with the S23 now. These Samsung device are supported, Galaxy S22 Series (S22, S22+, S22 Ultra), S23 Series (S23, S23+, S23 Ultra), Galaxy Z Fold4, Galaxy Z Flip4, Galaxy Tab S8 series (S8, S8+, S8 Ultra), and Galaxy Book3 Series (Ultra, Pro 360, Pro, 360 and base model).

Samsung Partners with Adobe to Offer Lightroom In-house Editing: S23 Update

Samsung is already known for being a manufacturer of AMOLED screens, but this time with the Galaxy S23, you can take advantage of Lightroom’s extreme benefits on their phone. The Galaxy S21 series introduced an app called “Expert RAW,” allowing users to do raw photography flexibly. Samsung’s default advanced camera has this feature, but you should accept that Samsung’s 200MP camera can’t handle such in-phone camera settings.

For that, they released the Expert RAW app, which helps to customize different photography requirements. But above all, it supports and provides JPG and HEIF formats that give decent capacity to process that image without losing quality. Apart from that, this time, Samsung emphasizes RAW image capturing with up to high flexibility. To sum up, the benefits emerge after introducing the Expert RAW app and Lightroom as the default editor.

• Up to 16-Bit RAW Image Configuration
• Lossless JPG Support
• AI-Powered Photoshop best-in-class tools as default.
• Straightforward controls and flexibility
• Easy sharing between Galaxy Book 3 series and other Pro series cameras
• Enjoy the Lightroom presets
• Access to Special Modes like ISO, Shutter Speed, EV, manual, Focus, White balance, Histogram, and more

How to Download and Use the Expert RAW App

As I mentioned, you might need clarification about whether I am talking about Adobe Lightroom as an in-app editor or an Expert RAW app. I’m mainly talking about Lightroom, but you should know the developers’ intentions. They added Lightroom, this time to edit RAW images. You must click a RAW image; Expert RAW already has that functionality. So, before all that, let’s understand

• Simply open the Galaxy Store.
• Search for Expert RAW and tap on the top result.
• Now tap the install button to install it on your phone.
• Once it installs, open your camera app and choose More >> Expert RAW.
• Choose the lens you want to shoot with.
• Customize settings like ISO, white balance, etc., as you want.
• Now click on the shutter button. It takes some time to finish the process.
• That’s it! Your result is a high-quality RAW image.

How to Download and Use the Default Lightroom Editor

Now we have the RAW image and have edited it with the newly added default Lightroom Editor. Previously, if you wanted to use Lightroom, you had to install it externally from the Galaxy Store. Even after the collaboration, you will do the same thing. However, being a default editor, for the first time, you need to download it with a simple tweak. So, let’s look below at downloading and using the default Lightroom editor to edit the above-clicked image.

Note: Since Lightroom is a free version, it already has many features, but with a premium starting at $10/month, you can access additional features. However, you can access the same subscription here if you have previously subscribed.

1. Starting with Downloading the Adobe Lightroom for Sasmung, and After installing.
2. Choose the image from the Expert RAW app first.
3. You will be taken directly to the Gallery app.
4. Now tap on the Lightroom icon appearing at the bottom.
5. After that, a prompt will arise and ask you to download Lightroom.
6. Tap the install button to set it as the default editor.
7. Then open Lightroom, and the image will be imported.
8. Now choose the customizations, effects, and presets you want.
9. After editing, tap the share >> save to your device button.

Conclusively, it is true that Adobe Lightroom is added as a default editor for Galaxy S23 Ultra only. But as a minor difference, instead of downloading Lightroom from Galaxy Store and getting things externally, now, with Adobe and Galaxy S23 Ultra partnership, we can enter Lightroom editing space with just one click and do the same thing as we do externally on Lightroom. The previously added Expert RAW app capabilities make these two things a complete combination.
