- Quick video of the new iPad Pro used for culling wedding photos.
Culling is the most time consuming thing I do. After returning from a wedding I usually have 2-3k photos that I have to cull. I cull that down to ~800 or so. I tried culling on my PC RIG which was custom built for this purpose. I also tried other tablets and Macs. This is the fastest for me.

Great stuff. I haven't tried culling on the iPad yet but I've been editing and OMG the new iPad is amazing for editing. I've been raving about it for weeks!
Funny, I can't use it for editing. I'm much faster on my Rig. But culling it can't be beat!
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Would you consider post processing of you family photos during leasure time (not 1700 images for work) or would that still suck compared to a desktop? I'm asking because after a whole day of working at home sometimes I can't find it in me to sit another hour or two at the computer and would love to chill with the family in the living room and go over some photos while watching TV. Do you think that would work/be worth it? I have no apple products but am looking to get a youtube tablet and would love to casually edit on it (I have the Adobe subscription). Thanks!
Sure you can edit on it too. I've edited large groups on the tablet. The only thing is that make sure the tablet you choose is fast. I have other videos showing Android tablets. While they are not as fast you could definitely cull, it edit. If you have an Android phone you can test it. Enjoy.
Thanks for this video Alberto! Are you importing all wedding images onto your computer, importing them into lightroom on the computer and then using CC to sync to the ipad or are you importing all of your images to the ipad and then letting them sync to your computer? Thanks again Alberto!
I import to my PC and overnight LR creates 1:1 previews and smart previews. I also create the collection so by morning it's all ready to go on my iPad. You also must use store locally on the iPad for the fastest performance.
@@flowingcolor To play devil's advocate, wouldn't culling in PhotoMechanic be faster because you don't have to wait overnight? The import and smart preview building process is the worst part of Lightroom, I find, and then it needs to sync things with Adobe. It's be better if you could import JPGs to the iPad, and then have those tags and flags still maintained when you import the RAWs to the computer later.
There was a plug-in that did this on the desktop, syncomatic or something, but I find Adobes workflow could be a little smoother. Or it seems like they want your originals in their cloud, so that you need their bigger hosting packages.
@@majorredbeard I hear what you're saying. But doing weddings the first thing I do when I get home (very late...) I copy the SD cards to my fastest drive. During the night my system makes copies on my NAS and offsite and Lightroom builds the previews. I'm not waiting for this to be done. Also keep in mind that if you only want to cull you can just use Smart Previews which are created much faster than the 1:1. Also using this method you can take you iPad anywhere and you're ready to go. You can even start editing and the changes make it back to the main catalog. The mobility and speed is that I want. I last tried PhotoMechanic a year ago and it didn't do it for me. Thanks
@@flowingcolor Uploading and building smart previews is a great thing to have happen overnight. I do some culling/editing done right afterwards as I'm still enthusiastic from the day, but I'm not a full time wedding photographer.
Seems like Lightroom Classic is mainly being used to upload to the Adobe Cloud. Some way to tether and do this directly seems like a much better method.
Using the iPad anywhere is not currently my main motivation for using it, as I find my neck gets stiff when I'm holding it like a tablet, and using it like a laptop - a laptop *should* be better at that :D
My main motivations is that the iPad seems like the fastest way of running any version of Lightroom.
Thanks for the video. I have an iPad Pro on order. I want to do what you’re doing, that is upload to PC (HDD and backed up on BackBlaze) via Lightroom, but cull and edit on iPad. I’m not a pro, just a hobbyist. I saw your comment that you should upload RAW files locally to your iPad for optimal performance. If that’s the case, what would your recommended workflow be for import > cull > edit. I’d probably export on my PC. Thanks!
Are you on subscription for LR? If you are just make a collection. Then on the iPad tick the box to download the files locally for better speed?
@@flowingcolor I am on the subscription. I will see if that works. Thanks! Waiting for the iPad still.
@@ConsumerFanatics cool then the collection is the way to go. Once culled you can remove them from LR on your station.
soooo... you can unflag them, but .... can you remove the unfledged photos from the iPad ? or do you have to do it on the computer
I am going to buy a new Ipad pro as well. Only I am not sure about the 4 gig ram. Is the 4 gig ram enought for Lr?
It's not like you have a choice to upgrade that. The iPad Pro is the fastest anyway.
culling on a small screen like the iPad isn't better than photo-mechanic on your main rig. But its better than nothing...btw edits on the ipad pro will turn out slightly cooler when viewing on an ips...learned the hard way
You definitely haven't tried culling on the 12.9" pro. It's one of the best screens. Color is accurate, very high res, true tone keeps up with changing ambient light. You might have to calibrate your main rig if you had some blue cast. There's no difference in color. I used your method and it's was too slow for me. Culling is not editing. You're just rejecting bad images quickly. Marking the best shots. There's definitely many ways of culling. This is the quickest I found after years of trying solutions.
Alberto Freire that’s what I’m saying....I have the new iPad Pro.
The new screen isn’t color accurate. And photo mechanic is a culling app not an editing app....idk how your getting things mixed up here rofl.
@@Morespizzle you must have a defective iPad. Who said PM is for editing?!? Do what works best for you.
Can you use LR on iPad to cull photos that are on an SSD? On an external hard drive? Or must you first import photos form SSD or hard drive onto the iPad before culling?
You have to import them to the cloud... Then share then via collection
Alberto thanks. So workflow is import them from ssd or external drive or iPhoto or Dropbox into adobe cloud. Then cull. Then edit. Then perhaps export edited keepers to a new folder on external drive for safe keeping, them delete from adobe cloud to make room for next batch of photos to cull and edit?
@@magnetoclash Adobe.
Hello, are you using raw for wedding photoshoot? This Ipad looks faster than my macbook pro.
Yes RAW, using the pro for culling will save you hours.... I have a custom build PC that's insanely fast for editing. But I cull on the iPad Pro.
@@flowingcolor thanks, maybe i will consider one.
So are you uploading all your photos using the cloud so that you can preview them on your ipad?
LR syncs smart previews to your devices. You can edit or CULL which is what I do. So I quickly go through 3k shots from a typical wedding down to 600-800 in the quickest way possible. I edit the remaining on my LR Rig.
@@flowingcolor Do you have to turn on smart previews for this, or are the synced files always going to be "smart preview" in size?
@@aaroncollins5188 I believe it uses them by default if you sync to a mobile device.
