Default PS CC for iPad?

To answer the first of your questions, I tried a few of the Topaz plug-ins
about 4 years ago, and they just did not do it for me. I have not been a
Topaz fan ever since. To be fair, things might have changed, but my bias
remains.

Luminar released an update last week which they claim has addressed some
Windows version issues.

Thanks, I upgraded Aurora last week. It almost acts as a proper plugin
for PS. When using it in LR, there are still issues saving the image
back to LR. I have no present interest in dumping PS, if that changes, I
will evaluate my options at that time, as software can be counted on to
morph.


Personally my preference is for an LR CCC/PS CC workflow with the additional
assistance of various plugins. I have yet to find a replacement which does
all that I use LR CCC/PS CC for.

On the Mac both Luminar and Aurora function as Adobe plugins. However, Aurora
has limitations under PS, and works best from LR CCC. With Aurora under LR
CCC you would select the image files for HDR merging, right-click, and from
the menu select *Export to Aurora 2018*. Once you have competed adjustments
and tone-mapping under Aurora the result should be saved back to LR.

That said this thread was more of a discusion regarding Adobe mobile apps,
iPad Pro, and the proposed *PS for iPad*. On my last trip away from home I
travelled without my old 17” MBP, and used my 512GB iPad Pro with LR CC and
Affinity Photo (AP) for on-the-road initial edits. My major beef with AP is
its lack of integration with the Adobe CC ecosystem. Though it does use
Apple’s iCloud to facilitate some sharing. So for the most part I have been
happy with not having to lug a laptop, and to do the away from home edits
with LR CC, and have those edits synced to my Adobe CC storage for syncing to
my desktop. Having the proposed *PS for iPad* would be a welcome addition,
but not that necessary given the capability of LR CC on the iPad Pro,
especially when combined with the Apple Pencil.

Since that trip LR CC has had a few updates and is even more capable with
included camera profiles, and other features, but I have not had to use it
much since March. So I loaded the 100-400mm windsurfer shoot to try a few
iPad edits on the latest LR CC update, and I am impressed. So if the proposed
*PS for iPad* doesn’t materialize I could survive without it.

Here is an LR CC on iPad Pro edit.
