Title: Lightroom CC on Samsung S9
Post by: Zero Talent on March 13, 2018, 21:16
I just got a new Samsung S9, after skipping several upgrade generations (since S9 expected to have maybe the best smartphone camera to date)

However, when after checking the Lightroom CC app, I was disappointed to notice that HDR Capture is not supported.
I remember that when the feature was launched, Adobe said it needs phones with good processing power, like S7.
S9 is a powerhorse, therefore it is expected to work.

Any S7/S8 users out-there? Is HDR Capture working for you guys?
If yes, maybe it is just a matter of patience to wait an update (and maybe the problem it is not the phone, but the new Android 8.0)
Thanks.

For me on a Samsung S8 with Android 7.0 HDR works on Lightroom CC, though it takes some time (less than half a minute) to process the image until it appears for edit. I could report back if this would be the case after the imminent upgrade to Android 8.

The thing about LR is not necessarily the on-phone processing, but the very fast capture of those 3 images with no delays, which leads to a better alignment.
I'm still planning to process the RAW images on LR Classic.

Adobe posted something about it:
The Samsung S9 is a fairly new camera phone and our team is working on incorporating the camera and HDR support in Lightroom CC

That's OK, but I was expecting a software giant like Adobe to be ready with the proper updates, before the launch of what is expected to be the best camera smartphone to date.
