When on a photo travel, it would not have been unusual to shoot over 400 a day. yes I did get rid of most. I'm also in that range when travelling. Easy to generate lots of images which need to be screened in the evenings. -- Alfred Molon Olympus E-series DSLRs and micro 4/3 forum at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/MyOlympus/ http://myolympus.org/ photo sharing site |

Hmm. 512 GB is quite a lot then. No issue. No cloud needed. When I was traveling I looked into the iPad. Because of my workflow, it didn't work for me. Remember, I use a high megapixel camera. What's high? What size raw file? On an iPad one could easily allocate 400 GB to photography. Say 30 MB per image. That would be 13000+ images. Say you cut that in half so you can do lot's of roadshow editing. How long does it take to fill 6500 images that are probably worth keeping? In photography one tends to reduce stuff carried around that is not specific to photography. An iPad v. laptop is a no brainer. RAW size for a D800 Image quality Image size File size*2 FX (36x24)*1 NEF (RAW), Lossless compressed, 12-bit - 32.4 MB NEF (RAW), Lossless compressed, 14-bit - 41.3 MB NEF (RAW), Compressed, 12-bit - 29.0 MB Also, there were times I wanted to do some procession. My laptop had a 17" screen. The iPad also belongs to my wife. Every day I took the days shooting, and downloaded it onto the Notebook, and backed up to 2 portable HDs. If I did any processing the file size increased. So, how many thousand photos do you shoot per week or so? When on a photo travel, it would not have been unusual to shoot over 400 a day. yes I did get rid of most. So an iPad with 512 Gb could handle that quite easily for a few weeks. Not like you're really going to shoot that many per day, every day, even less likely to do extensive editing on many of them every day. |

I have CS5 and that is more than sufficient for 99.99% of what I do. (Which even includes occasional paid photography). What I do not support is rental s/w. That's Adobe's new path. If I were a full time photographer, then I'd go for it. But "renting" spinning s/w that I don't use for stretches is a stretch. lightroom and photoshop elements are available for purchase. Meanwhile other suppliers are coming out with competitive products that do as much as most people need. while that's true, photoshop elements also does as much as most people need, no rental required. I don't recall offhand what things in Elements are missing that aren't in CS5 that I need and use, but that was part of the decision to buy CS3 in the first place and later upgrade. (bit depth of plugins and/or filters comes to mind, but not perfectly sure - and Elements may handle that now). |

(in . com): In iganews.com, Savageduck says... The actual merge/pano stitch was probably in the region of 5-8 seconds. Then what took 1 minute and 41 seconds? Did you read any of what you snipped from the post you responded to? Let me remind you, and then I will give you a step-by-step break down. From ews.com I hope you are comparing a similar process workflow, not just the time the merge/pano stitching took. If so I will retime for just that portion of the test. Just to be clear. that was for the whole task, which included selecting the three RAW files from my desktop hard drive, loading them to the iCloud Drive, opening Affinity Photo on the iPad, selecting the three RAF files from the iCloud folder for pano stitching, and completing the crop. The actual merge/pano stitch was probably in the region of 5-8 seconds. Now to explain step-by-step: On my Mac, not the iPad, Lightroom was not running, so; Step #1: Open Lightroom: 27.58 seconds Step #2: In LR Library navigate to 2016-12-15 folder: 45.83 sec. Step # 3: Select the 3 RAF files and export to iCloud: 1 minute 1.96 sec. Step #4: Complete upload to iCloud: 1 min 13.41 sec Step #5: Open Affinity Photo on iPad & Choose “New Panorama”: 1 min 24.66 sec Step #6: Select 3 RAF files from iCloud folder on iPad: 1 min 30.56 sec Step #7: Start and finish Stitch: 1 min 36.50 sec (so the actual stich time was 5.96 sec) Step #8: Complete crop: This time 1 min 40.67 total elapsed time. There are all sorts of things I could have done to come up with a faster result, but I didn’t. Now that isn’t too bad given that was all that was done. You didn’t mention if you had done a crop, or not, or were just left with the rough pano. ....and as I said, producing panoramas is not where the bulk of my travel photography lies. -- Regards, Savageduck |

The RAF?s were from an X-E2, sized 33.8 MB, 33.8 MB, & 33.7 MB respectively. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mkfwoty85afy0ek/RAF-iC.png Pretty good! Thanks for checking. PTGUI merges a three pic pano (24MP each) in 5 seconds on my four years old notebook with a core i7. That's 20 times faster than your ipad. I hope you are comparing a similar process workflow, not just the time the merge/pano stitching took. If so I will retime for just that portion of the test. He wasn't. IIUC, your iPad and his machine are about the same at this task. -- Cheers, Rob |
