That is why we recommend that you should always save a back up copy of your pictures on one or more personal hard drives. But, if all you do is save your pictures on someone else’s servers (which is what a “Cloud” really is), then you are putting the safety of your pictures in somebody else’s hands. After all, being able to access your pictures from anywhere, anytime, on any device has a definite advantage. Saving pictures on the Cloud has become an almost standard operation for many photographers. New camera support, additional language support, and other fixes introduced in 5.4.0 will be restored in the next Lightroom mobile release. Adobe has not even sent out an advisory (as of writing), only published a short notice on its website without even mentioning the issue that version 5.4.0 caused:Īdobe has rolled out version 5.4.1 of Lightroom mobile for iOS and iPad OS to address an issue introduced in 5.4.0. We sincerely apologize to any customers who have been affected by this issue.

We know that some customers have photos and presets that are not recoverable.

Proper testing and assurance control would have easily captured this programming bug. If you already did, then immediately update to version 5.4.1.Īdobe’s Lightroom CC (Creative Cloud) Update fail where numerous users lost their pictures after updating to Lightroom 5.4.0 on iOS and iPadOS smacks of amateurish programming, functional testing, assurance testing and update controls. If you use Adobe Lightroom CC, DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 5.4.0, or you risk losing your presets and pictures.
