Affinity Photo for iPad
On Sep 23, 2017, Alfred Molon wrote
(in om): In , Davoud says... ? 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. Then don’t 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 |

(in . com): In iganews.com, Savageduck says... While there is a 12? iPad Pro available, the 10? is the better choice when it comes to portability. The resolution provided by the Retina display is superb. I can edit 6000 x 4000 images down to a pixel level if I need to. Maybe your eyesight is better than mine, but if I have to go through 200-300 images in the evening, a big screen helps a lot. For my purposes, a 10" screen is just too small. I cannot zoom in and out all the time. Actually even 12" is too small. I'd like to have at least 14". You are not going to know until you try. As much as I would love to have a 27” display on the road, I am not going to have that luxury. The 10.5” iPad is pretty good, very good actually, especially after having my cataract surgery. You don’t have to play the bad eyesight game with me. I have my old 17” MBP which for what I need these days is too bulky and too heavy, and is not able to run the latest MacOS. I will stick with my new iPad Pro. snip To start with, the Apple A10X with M10 coprocessor is as fast for my needs as most laptop/desktop machines, and in some cases faster. But tablets are optimised for battery life, not performance. Actually they are optimized for both battery life, and performance. When you quickly browse through hundreds of images, open RAWs for editing trying out different settings, use panorama software to stitch images - that all drains the battery quite a lot. Strangely enough, Lightroom Mobile makes browsing through hundreds of images a simple task, and it along with Affinity Photo for iPad are just two apps which handle panorama stitching quite efficiently and quickly. By the way, RAM also matters. 10 or more GB are very helpful in my case, but I don't think there are tablets with that much RAM, are there? On a desktop, or laptop certainly. However, tablets, especially the iPad manages things a little differently by optimizing what they have to work with. snip The battery gives me 10 hours of portability which slips easily into a camera bag, and provides me with all the function I need on the road, and then some, all with less weight and bulk than even a notebook PC. But there is no need to lug around the tablet the whole day, while you are taking pictures, right? Just leave it in the hotel, or why would you want to carry it around? There is no need to lug it around, but if you needed to the bit of added weight is negligible. Instead of the tablet you can bring along another lens, a flash or piece of photo equipment, which improves your photo capture capability in the field. With my Fujifilm set up, I have my camera, 4 lenses, extra batteries, some filters, and a few other goodies which all fit handily into my Domke bag. Moreover, I could if need be, slip the iPad into the back sleave of the bag. -- Regards, Savageduck |

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. |

Or reading glasses. But there is no need to lug around the tablet the whole day, while you are taking pictures, right? Just leave it in the hotel, or why would you want to carry it around? One wouldn't. You brought up the notion of traveling with an iPad or laptop. The lightest, least bulky solution is an iPad. (That said, a Macbook Air is hardly much larger). Instead of the tablet you can bring along another lens, a flash or piece of photo equipment, which improves your photo capture capability in the field. Of course. But you would not likely bring a laptop into the field either, so it's a non argument when comparing iPad to laptop. |

Just for the Hell of it, since I had yet to stitch a panorama with Affinity Photo on the iPad Pro I thought I should at least say I had done it. To start with I took this sequence of three shots from last year, and from my desktop, dropped them into an iCloud folder. I then went to the iPad and opened Affinity Photo - selected New Panorama, and selected the three shots for stitching. Created the uncropped pano. Cleaned up the crop so that the image is ready for any adjustments. Other than picking out the shots on my desktop, the entire iPad pano stitching operation took less than one minute. Here is how things happened on the iPad. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/lu9r03r0p97fbju/AAD4Y4UwhMROPrL3oJXs94Txa -- Regards, Savageduck |
