Thanks Simon, Is there any way to synchronize the auto tone button so the auto settings for a particular image apply and not the auto tone settings for the original starter image?

Is there a way to x out or discard a photo from Mobile? In Classic, on computer, I would x to mark.
Thank you.

Thanks for the pointer to add the preset when importing. I find i use a few settings regularly, so this will help me. As for the auto straighten, appreciate that as well.

In reply to Simon Ringsmuth. Interesting, thank you for the reply. It does make sense that loading the images more quickly would far outweigh any minor delays involved in swiping. My experience with Lightroom Mobile, though, has been that it loads a low-quality version of the image quickly but needs time to then swap in the high-quality version, which is what I need for culling. Maybe I’ve got it misconfigured somewhere.

Culling through Lightroom Mobile the way you’ve described sounds slower than using keyboard shortcuts on the desktop (optionally with Auto Advance enabled if you don’t need ratings or don’t need flags). Use the 1–5 keys to assign a rating, P, U, or X to pick, un-flag, or reject respectively, and the left and right arrow keys to move backwards or forwards respectively. It’s easier to hit those keys than to swipe the right amount in the right place and the right direction.

I assume the LR presets or Syncing do not apply with photos that have been processed using any plugins within Lightroom, such as On1?

In reply to Aankhen. I can understand your hesitation about this, and when I do culling on LR desktop I use the keyboard shortcuts constantly. But for me, culling on LR mobile is just so much faster and I think a lot of it has to do with loading times for the images. Everything is just so snappy compared to desktop. If you have the opportunity to give it a try I think you might be surprised.
