Affinity Photo for iPad
I bought a new toy last week, a 10.5β iPad Pro, with 512 GB, the keyboard,
and Apple Pencil. My purpose was to update my old iPad2, and to see how well it would fit in as a replacement for a laptop for my photo travels. I already had the Adobe Mobile Apps, Lightroom Mobile, Photoshop Fix, and Photoshop Mix installed, and I had read good things regarding Affinity Photo for iPad. So, I stepped and bought it. The end result is, I am very impressed, it is so much more than the desktop edition, which I find to have an awkward workflow. It is built to integrate with the iCloud file, or any other app. For example I can save an edited image to my iCloud Drive, and/or Dropbox, and/or Lightroom Mobile, all of which can make the file accessible across all my devices, and sync with desktop/laptop LR. I can transfer image files RAW, and/or JPEG, to my iPad from my X-E2, or X-T2 via WiFi. So for any of you folks with an iPad I can highly recommend Affinity Photo for iPad. Quite frankly I believe that it is currently one of the best photo editing apps available for the iPad along with the Adobe Mobile set, and Pixelmator. https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/photo/ipad/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

Would make it easier to edit high res images. And well, a tablet for image editing, not sure how much sense that makes. Personally I need a fast processor, a screen as large/high res as possible and lots of storage (on a typical trip I take 100-150 GB of image files, and uploading these to a cloud is not really feasible). When I factor all that in, the ideal device is a notebook PC. By the way, I gave a try a while ago to the desktop version of Affinity and wasn't impressed. -- 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 |

Would make it easier to edit high res images. would also make it less portable. And well, a tablet for image editing, not sure how much sense that makes. quite a bit, actually.

When I factor all that in, the ideal device is a notebook PC. for you, perhaps. keep in mind that an ipad pro tops out at 512 gb of flash storage. By the way, I gave a try a while ago to the desktop version of Affinity and wasn't impressed. that's because you tried the windows version. |

When I factor all that in, the ideal device is a notebook PC. The iPad has a fast processor. one which benchmarks faster than most laptops. The iPad Pro display is large enough for its purpose, large enough for image processing. not only that, but the ipad pro has a wide gamut dci-p3 display, making it ideal for image processing, versus a typical non-apple laptop. You don't have to upload the image files to a cloud; the software does it for you as you take the photos. not if they're taken by a traditional camera. ipads have as much as 512 gig, plenty of space for even the most active shooters. It's for when you can't take your MacBook Pro. yep. |

? You don't have to upload the image files to a cloud; the software does it for you as you take the photos. The problem is the connectivity. Often connections are slow and if you have a 5GB package, you can't upload 100GB. But again, in many interesting countries the Internet connections (both mobile and fixed) are just too slow. Try doing a cloud upload in Papua for instance. -- 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 |

Often connections are slow and if you have a 5GB package, you can't upload 100GB. often connections are quite fast, but if not, use wifi. or just keep everything local. with 512 gig of space, 100 gig won't make much of a dent. But again, in many interesting countries the Internet connections (both mobile and fixed) are just too slow. Try doing a cloud upload in Papua for instance. how often are you in a location where there's no wifi or cellular, where you've completely filled all of the 512 gig of the device, and where you don't have any other local storage options, forcing you to upload content to free up space? likely never. |

Often connections are slow and if you have a 5GB package, you can't upload 100GB. Then donβt bother with the cloud, use local storage on the iPad, or supplemental storage with: https://www.sandisk.com/home/mobile-device-storage/ixpand ....or one of these which works just fine with an iPad. https://www.sandisk.com/home/mobile-device-storage/ixpand-base But again, in many interesting countries the Internet connections (both mobile and fixed) are just too slow. Try doing a cloud upload in Papua for instance. So what? Papua NG, or the Amazon Basin would be a very different road trip to one in Europe, North America, or South Africa, so you would plan, and provision differently. Different locations are going to have different requirements, so you plan for them. In December and January I spent a month away from home in the Netherlands and South Africa, where I travelled light with all my computing needs dealt with by a 256 GB iPhone 6S+, not an MBP, or notebook PC. If that iPhone could handle things, I know that I am not going to have problems with an iPad Pro with more memory, and a much more powerful processor. -- Regards, Savageduck |
