Mosaic Integrates with Google, Drops Prices to Take On Lightroom Mobile

Photographers Can Sync Lightroom to iPad & iPhone without the Creative Cloud

Mosaic today unveiled a bold update to the Mosaic iOS App that includes seamless integration with Google Drive, the ability to sync photos by specific Lightroom collection, and more than a 70% reduction in pricing. This makes the Mosaic App the most integrated and cost-effective way for photographers to access, organize, and share their Lightroom photos away from the desktop.

The new Mosaic App is available now for $24.99 per year in the iTunes App Store, but until August 1, 2014, those who purchase the app will only pay a one-time fee of $24.99.

“Teaming up with Google Drive made so much sense for us,” said Gerard Murphy, CEO of Mosaic. “Letting Google handle the photo storage infrastructure allows us to focus on what makes Mosaic unique: helping photographers privately access, organize and share their best Lightroom photos wherever they go.”

Mosaic uses a Lightroom Plug-in on the desktop to automatically sync a photographer’s Lightroom photos to his or her personal and private Google Drive account. The photos can then be accessed in the Mosaic App on iPhone and iPad, complete with their original Lightroom folders, collection structure, and metadata.

Photographers can organize their Lightroom photos in the Mosaic App by editing photo metadata, like stars and pick flags, and then syncing those changes automatically back into Lightroom on their desktop.

“Our photos are our stories. Mosaic gives you the ability to share these stories when you are on the go and away from your desktop,” says Murphy.

“The Mosaic App has been a fantastic addition to my photography workflow,” says Levi Sim of SDesigns Photography. “Culling photos with stars and flags from the road, or the couch in my living room, has been a real game changer for me. Now I always have my Lightroom photos with me, so I show clients their photos on my iPad. I’ve even stopped lugging my laptop everywhere I go.”

Key features of the Mosaic App include:

Access Lightroom on your iPhone and iPad, complete with your Lightroom folder and collection structure.
Sync your Lightroom library to Mosaic, or sync photos by collection, smart collection, stars, flags, or date.
Star and flag photos from the Mosaic App and these changes will sync back to Lightroom automatically.
See what photos you’ve published to Mosaic right in Lightroom, and access JPEGs of your photos on your private Google Drive account.
Share your Lightroom photos to Facebook & Twitter, save them to your Camera Roll, or text & email them to clients.
No Creative Cloud subscription required.
