Adobe announced on Monday that its photo processor, editor and image organizer Lightroom is now available for free for Android 1.4.
Previously Adobe required that users have a paid subscription to Creative Cloud in order to use Lightroom. However, the iOS version has been offered as a free app since October.
Now Android users will also be able to use Lightroom 2.0 for free, taking advantage of the editing, organizing and sharing functionalities straight from their phones without having to spend a dime.
This allows even more photographers to work on their images on the go without having to use—or even pay for—the desktop version.
The one catch is that if photographers want their files to sync with their desktop files, they will need to pay for Creative Cloud.
"We're really excited to continue our focus on Android and pleased that Lightroom for mobile was recently listed by Google as one of the top apps of 2015," Adobe writes in the Lightroom app for Android announcement.
As more Android devices launch with more improved cameras, it only made sense that the Android free version would eventually roll out.
Lightroom for Android supports raw DNG workflows (and thanks to Lollipop, it features the ability to shoot raw DNG files), which enables users to enhance their images easily.
Powered by Adobe Photoshop technology, the Lightroom app allows users to experiment with edit and revert to the original in one single tap, edit using one-tap presets, and copy and paste edits.
Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is available to download for free on the Google Play Store.
