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? |

Alan Browne: I can't speak about Affinity, but I can say that I will never buy an Adobe photo editing product again. 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. 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. Meanwhile other suppliers are coming out with competitive products that do as much as most people need. Discussed and closed before. That's it for me. |

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 obviously has a stick up his ass about tablets. 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. even more of a bogus comparison. The actual merge/pano stitch was probably in the region of 5-8 seconds. sounds about right. Anyway, the bottom line is, given the negligible amount of time I devote to producing panoramas when travelling, I am not too concerned if producing a pano is going to take 5, 10, or 20 seconds or 1-5 minutes.I might take a road trip where the thought of capturing a panorama never enters my mind. So for that the iPad is OK if I ever need that function on the road. Did I mention that panos are not really as big a thing for me, as they are for you? It is not as if that time spent to produce a single pano, was a massive part of my life wasted. that, and the significant advantage of an ipad being much smaller and lighter than a 15" laptop, plus being able to do more travel related tasks, such as uploading those photos from just about anywhere. |

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. |

Take a better look. The arn't that good though, compared to the real thang but for them holiday snaps they'll give you that wider view. they are the real thing and are as good as the person making them. iStuff panos are stitched micro tiles and limited by their tiny cameras. BTW: Since there is a panorama function in many cameras today, I just happened to use the one in the X-E2 to shoot the same scene as the three shot test, with a single left to right pan. Here is that result with no post processing in any computer. https://www.dropbox.com/s/l5uqkt6aiie736u/X2-pano.jpeg -- Regards, Savageduck |

As for me and the iPad with the X-T2 APS-C, 6000 x 4000 files I have this: RAF (RAW) uncompressed 14-bit = 50.6 MB RAF (RAW) lossless compressed 14-bit = 21-25 MB JPEG, content dependant SOOC, = 10.1-15.6 MB The iPad Pro with 512 GB on board does just fine with those files. Some of my friends have Fuji cameras, and the really like them. I am talking about several years ago. I think it was the right decision for me. As i have posted, we are not able to travel for more than a few days. Taking a notebook is no big deal. Just another piece of luggage in the car. -- PeterN |
