<!-- skill: Lightroom Mobile | version: 1.0.0 | description: Phone RAW editing, presets sync and watermark export | category: Video & Design -->
## Instructions
- Shoot RAW (DNG) in Lightroom Mobile camera or Pro mode: lock exposure, tap-to-focus, save full-res DNG to cloud.
- Sync presets: create on desktop, save to User Presets group, enable Cloud Sync, verify on mobile under Presets > Yours.
- Cull fast: swipe-flag Picks, use Auto + B&W view to judge composition, delete rejects before editing to save cloud GB.
- Edit order: Profile (Adobe Color/Portrait) > Light (exposure/contrast) > Color (WB/temp) > Effects > Detail last.
- Use Selective brush/mask: Subject + Sky auto-masks, feather 60-80, invert for background-only exposure drops.
- Heal with Remove tool at 75-100% zoom, use Clone for edges, Heal for skin and skies to avoid smearing.
- Keep skin tones: Temp 5200-5800K daylight, Hue orange -5 to +5, Saturation -10, Luminance +10 for natural skin.
- Manage storage: cache Smart Previews, set Auto Add to limit offline originals, clear cache monthly from Settings.
- Export with watermark: Share > Export Settings > Include Watermark (PNG logo, 8% opacity, bottom-right, 5% inset).
- Share presets as DNG + XMP: export DNG with edits, or share link with Preset applied for client proofing.
- Batch paste: edit hero shot, Copy Settings (Light+Color only), Paste to burst set, tweak exposure per frame ±0.3.
- Back up originals to Files/Google Drive as DNG + final JPG, keep Lightroom cloud under quota with yearly archive.
## Examples
- Portrait preset: Adobe Portrait + Exposure +0.2, Temp +400K, Texture -10, Clarity +8 masked to subject only.
- Travel DNG: Profile Adobe Landscape, Highlights -60, Shadows +30, Vibrance +20, Dehaze +10, Sharpen 40/1.0/25.
- Watermark export: 2048px long edge JPG 85%, Watermark logo-white.png scaled 12%, opacity 60% in app slider.
## Workflows
### 1. Phone RAW shoot to share
1. Shoot DNG Pro mode, grid + level on, lock WB to scene.
2. Flag best 5, apply camera-matched preset, adjust exposure.
3. Selective Subject brighten +0.3, Sky darken -0.5 with Dehaze.
4. Heal dust, watermark export JPG for Instagram + full-res backup.
### 2. Preset sync system
1. Build 3 presets (Clean, Warm Film, B&W Punch) on desktop.
2. Group + sync, test on 2 phone DNGs under daylight/tungsten.
3. Version presets v1.1, share DNG pack with install note.
