Photosmith recently received very high praise from the Technical Image Press Association (TIPA), and was awarded best mobile photography app 2014. To celebrate, Photosmith for iPad is now half-off for a very limited time – $9.99 (or local currency equivalent) for Lightroom sync, with no strings attached, no subscription required.
TIPA membership comprises 28 leading photo and imaging magazines from 15 countries on five continents, and also has a cooperative partnership with the CJPC (Camera Journal Press Club), representing 11 top photography magazines in Japan.
Here’s our press release if you want to help spread the word about this award, and our limited-time half-off discount. If you have friends that use Lightroom and have an iPad, but aren’t interested in ongoing subscription fees, please let them know of our discount.
Inspiration comes from the most unlikeliest of places, and this is really an incredible, and quite unexpected honor.

Congratulations on the award. I’ve been using Photosmith latest version since released and have found the app very useful in my workflow. No issues and performance is very good. Looking forward to future versions and updates.
Thank you kindly, Morley! We’ve come a long, long way since the v1 days.
Congratulations!!!!! And maybe you let your users know in one of the next blog entry about your plans for further releases to see on what you are working on. That would be very kind.

Good to hear from you again Tobias – there are a few things in the works that are really exciting, but learning from previous missteps, there’s not much benefit in discussing new features that aren’t fully baked and functionality that doesn’t quite work yet… other than to say, wow, it sure will make photo workflow management even more efficient and easy.
May I imagine that Photosmith could work with raw or full size file on the cloud without loading it on the iPad ? (As proposed by Lightroom mobile)?
Photos must be imported (from Camera Roll, Eye-Fi, FTP, iTunes) or synced (from Lightroom) into Photosmith’s catalog. This is very similar to Lightroom mobile, which also needs to completely download photos.
Lightroom mobile downloads smart previews from Adobe’s servers on the public Internet – these Smart Previews are 1-2MB each – also, Lightroom mobile isn’t able to render camera raw images, beyond the capabilities provided by iOS.
Photosmith’s camera raw import support extends far beyond what is available through iOS. When syncing with Lightroom, Photosmith syncs JPG’s which are 25% the size of smart previews.
