Adobe brings Photoshop Lightroom to the living room with new Apple TV app

Professional photo editing likely comes to mind first when you think of Lightroom, but Adobe has managed to bring Photoshop Lightroom to the living room with a neat new Apple TV app sans any editing features.

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for tvOS is a simple photo viewer for the big screen. If you’re already a Lightroom user, the new Apple TV app lets you easily view your favorite photos and collections on your TV. Just sign in with your Adobe Creative Cloud account, then explore.

Adobe says you can view your Lightroom photos with edits intact in a slideshow presentation, navigate collections of photos, or zoom into specific images using the new Apple TV app. Before today, Lightroom users had to rely on AirPlay or Apple’s Photos app to view edited images and collections on the Apple TV.

Here’s how Lightroom for Apple TV works:

All your photos, are always available with your latest edits. In Lightroom for Apple TV, you can view and share all of your synced Lightroom photos including photos you’ve uploaded via Lightroom CC on your desktop, Lightroom on mobile, or Lightroom on the web.

Lightroom for Apple TV is available for free on the tvOS App Store. Lightroom apps are also available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. An Adobe Creative Cloud subscription is required for photo syncing.
