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 already had the notebook. I used what I felt comfortable using. While
there may have been a more efficient way, I no longer take trips of more
than a few days, and I am not going to get into a debate on the tools I
decided to use several years ago.

for me, it's about 4 seconds cold launch from an ssd. i did not time it
to 100th second accuracy, though.


I've got an SSD and from the first click to being ready to edit was
about 13 seconds.


then something is *very* wrong.

is it connected via usb 2?

Went by that Apple Premium Reseller not that long ago and those iMac
Retinas did not seem that premium to me. A Mini Pro would be nice...

Not debating anything other than the notion that an iPad with 512 GB
doesn't have enough storage for a photographer on a trip. It does. In
spades. What you have and use is up to you of course.

Stop me if you've heard this one.

If any of the following is true

€ you are a professional
€ you are an amateur
€ your photographs are important to you
€ you have a large number of photographs to manage
€ you prefer doing things the easy way

then you are cutting off your nose to spite your face if you are
boycotting Adobe for some reason.

Not at all.Â* I have CS5 and that is more than sufficient for 99.99%
of what I do.Â* (Which even includes occasional paid photography).

What I do not support is rental s/w.Â* That's Adobe's new path.Â* If I
were a full time photographer, then I'd go for it.Â* But "renting"
spinning s/w that I don't use for stretches is a stretch.

Meanwhile other suppliers are coming out with competitive products
that do as much as most people need.

Discussed and closed before.Â* That's it for me.


I like the concept of choice. Each of us should use what they feel
more comfortable using. The preceding sentence applies to cameras,
software, and computers.


Has nothing to do with "comfort".


Sheesh! For a bit I thought Tony Cooper was responding. :-)
Obviously I used the word "comfort," in the sense that the user likes
using it, and the product does the job to the user's satisfaction.

photography lies.


Me neither. But every so often, I see an opportunity for a pano. (Three
shot vertical.)

I never grasped why persons who lease houses and automobiles, who pay
for utilities by the month, who belong to membership clubs, who
subscribe to newspapers or magazines... would draw the line at
subscribing to world-class software.

That one doesn't need it is an incontestable reason, however. Here's
the thing, though: there is no minimum subscription period for Adobe
CC, including the $10 photography plan. A friend, an accomplished
photographer, activates his photography plan for about two months each
year after big photo safaris.


Now that's thinking. Reminds me when some people would rent a safety
deposit box, at a bank near the beach. They would use the vault office
to change into and out of their bathing suit.
