Adobe Lightroom for iOS finally receives RAW support with latest update

This feature provides 25% more color than the sRGB color space, so users will be able that accurately edit pictures with Lightroom to reflect the colors in their photos.

According to Adobe, the team of developers working at Lightroom will also make sure that iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus users will get the perfect profiles for the new sensors and lenses included in these smartphones. They will be included in the next update, which is supposed to arrive as soon as possible.
