Thank you for watching! xx - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
"werkfleur" is my new favorite Aussie word
A little tip about when editing on the iPad Pro: go into settings, under “display & brightness”, and turn off “True Tone”. True Tone is great when consuming content but when doing colour related work, it’s best to turn it off since it adjust the screen’s white balance based on the ambiant light.
Yes definitely, forgot to mention that!
Interestingly I turn that on for exakt this purpose: to preserve color for changing environments, as this was the intention of this feature, otherwise images may feel too blue or too warm depending on your lighting, when they actually are fine. I only turn of night shift as this changes the whole color output to warm tones.
@@Seitenwerk That's what I thought. The whole point of True Tone is to give you an accurate white balance for the ambient light you're working in so turning it off doesn't make sense. What you do want to turn off is Night Shift because that warms up the images so your white balance will be off.
Ohhhh that’s why my image looked different when I sent it to my iPhone from the iPad Pro ha! Thanks
I'm thinking of getting the iPad pro and not bothering with a desk top anymore. I'm not a pro just for my own interest. Your thoughts anyone. Thanks
Looked forever for a short and simple videos regarding LR desktop and mobile, thanks so much for that, you absolute nailed it!
Just cull using Lightroom on your ipad! Ever since I started culling in lightroom on my ipad i don't use Photomechanic any longer. It's really fun to cull that way. You're swiping with your finger rather than being glued to your desk and mouse. You can go straight from culling to editing.
to speed up culling in LRC just import the embedded jpg instead of the smart preview up front. Not sure if this works for LRC mobile also.
Hey Julia ... that’s definitely something I am working towards getting for my work flow. Love how easy life can be with the right tools.
I have a very similar workflow. I find editing on the iPad to be so much fun. It's a little bit of a learning curve but makes sense at the same time. I really love using the Apple Pencil for retouching. Being able to edit on the go using the cloud and in your comfort and not at a desk is so chill.
This literally made my morning. I have a 2015 MacBook and I have found myself editing on my phone for the past couple months, its been slow with uploading my raws but works perfectly fine!. Ive been struggling between deciding to buy a newer laptop and a bigger monitor OR just buy a new desktop. This video has helped me decide to purchase the iPad Pro and monitor! Thank you Julia!
This is how I want my photography workflow to be! Thanks Julia, great video!!
What Sidney said! I just got a new iPad Pro and was trying to figure out the best workflow between my computer and iPad when editing. This is perfect! Thank you!
I just bought the iPad Air to edit photos. Thank you for this video, I use Lightroom to edit but I didn’t know a lot of these things you showed.
Ooh yay I'm glad I could help!
Julia. thank you for the video. Showing the overhead of you using the iPad makes so much sense. I would love to see more tutorials in this format. Be lucky stay safe.
This IPad is a beast!! I’m using my laptop for editing because I have no other options! :D
Super helpful, thanks Julia! Looking forward to watching some of your other lightroom/ workflow tutorials.
Great video. You mentioned one specific thing which is easily overlooked by others: Always check your work on a calibrated monitor in good light conditions. Indeed, that's the way to go!
Guys let’s take a moment to appreciate Her 💯👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Also have my first new MacBook coming in the mail soon so I’ll def be studying your Lightroom tutorial videos!
Dang! This was the workflow tutorial I was looking for! Thanks Julia!
Thank you glad you liked it!!
1000% agree! Thanks Julia!
This was wonderful, thank you so much! I’d love more of these types of videos detailing your workflow and process :)
Thank you and thanks for the suggestions! I have been changing my workflow up a bit this year so I'll see what other videos I can make :)
Spot on all you need to know really on this
Just got the iPad Pro, coming from MacBook Pro - a learning curve for sure. I’ve been using procreate as well. Thanks for the expert guide this is great
its so cool that you made this video! I just brought the pro and the pencil a few days ago so I can have more flexibility editing photos or using photoshop! Would love to see a video on how you like using photoshop on the iPad even though its limited.
Hi Julia!! ❤️ I also edit my my photos on my iPad , so happy that you uploaded this video !
I'm glad you liked it 😄
I only have the iPad for now and this was helpful thank you
Thank you so much for the insight !
Wow the quality of the video is so good
Amazing video and explanation! I love using my iPad for editing. Honestly I think it’s going to be the future. No more laptops!! ❤️❤️
You make editing on the iPad look so easy!
That fujifilm x100, so stylish.
thanks for showing the tone curve , i couldnt work out where i`d seen it !
Je vien tout juste de commander mon ipad pro 12.9. Merci pour ce merveilleux video. Me reste à attendre 3-4 semaines pour avoir cette merveille:)
More of this please, Julia! 😊
thankyou Julia😀
Lovely overhead setup
I can’t wait to get my new iPad Pro. I got the 12.9 preordered just so I can edit photos 😍
Super awesome content. I learned so much ! Thanks much!!!
Great video!! Thinking about grabbing an iPad Pro now!
I love you, Julia, ❤️🌷😘 You are the best 😊
Thanks for the detailed review
Thank you for this video!!! My MacBook died in May so I bought the IPad Pro 2020. This video helped so much! I would definitely love to see more videos on editing on the iPad.
I'm glad you liked it! And thank you I will definitely work on more 😄
Loved this. Did some editing in bed on my iPad actually while watching this! :)
Love this! Exactly what I needed! Thank you!
Glad you liked it :D
great video - thank you so much - this is a great help
Brilliant thanks Hank you 👍🏻
Highly informative. Thank you Julia! My husband told me about this set up potential and I went to research and got really excited when you were the first hit of my search results. Did you ever find an alternative to photo mechanic on iPad? That's why I use too and will need another alternative with the iPad.
Pretty much where I do all my editing now. 10x less lagging issues.
Thanks for sharing, I’ve been thinking about getting the iPad Pro. I love your desk setup too with your staged leaves and camera ☺️
Thank you!
Wow Im new to photography and this is very helpful. Thank u so much! Subbed 😊
Great video. I picked up an iPad Pro back in March and have been editing almost exclusively on it since. Although there are a few work arounds needed, I like it a lot more for editing over my MBP.
This looks so much more inspiring than using editing software on a laptop! Very much considering this set up now
Yes I agree, I don't know how to explain it but it feels a little more "creative" editing on an ipad
Awesome!
Whoever that model is,she’s beautiful ❤️
Very nice tricks 😍😍😍
Just got one two weeks ago and love it!! Game changer to my workflow! More vid on this Julia!
I agree, I got mine a couple of months ago now and I already don't know how I lived my life without it haha
What a great video! I recently purchase an ipad and was looking to do my editing on this! Perfect timing Julia as always
Thank you!
Great video Julia! Like a few others below, really hoping you have time to make an X100V portrait/fun day video! That camera is def on my radar for personal use!
Great informative video. I was planning to come up with a video list for my team who are starting to go use the iPads more- or trying to. These are people who have used Adobe for decades. You saved us a lot of time, but i wanted to mention one thing. You are so familiar with the process you use that you flew through, over and past a lot of times, where I was answering questions for 2 days related to filling in those gaps. Not complaining, as it was a very good and useful video, just wanted to mention that even for fairly advanced pro’s, but who are somewhat new to iPad workflow integration that you are too fast for them.
Thank you so much i ve been waiting for this😍😍🥰
So glad you liked it!
Finally a video for mobile photographer like me... 😇
I like ur style of editing in lightroom 😊
Thank you :D
For those who lacks time, or just want to get started right away, you can jump to 2:31. Enjoy 😉
Proper youtubers should take time to make time stamps if they want to grow and help viewers.
Thanks for this.
Great tutorial and would love to see the retouch one you mentioned! I don’t have a desk or home office, so it’s most convenient for me to use my iPad for editing 90% of the time.
Thank you so much and perfect, I will work on a video :D
Thank you for your great and helpful videos!
1. Yes for the Photoshop video
2. Follow-up video: wishlist for improving lightroom on ipad.... side to side photo capability?
Cheers!
Third!! I love your contents Jul! 🥺❤️
Thank you!!
Thank you, this was very helpful. I also have the same setup but my syncing has been a bit wonky lately. As always, love your videos!
Thanks so much! Yeah I heard the recent update released was messing up some of the cloud storage for some people, I hope it gets fixed up.
Great, now i can get an ipad pro, thanks for the tips Julia, you the best
Glad you liked it! :D
Hi Julia. I love culling Photos on my Ipad in Lightroom.
Awesome video love from nepal❤️❤️
Great idea! I have an iPad Pro I use for my design work outside of photography. Right now I'm so comfy editing on my laptop but the iPad would be a great solution for travel . Great video!
Thank you and I'm the same but also opposite to you haha - I got it specifically to be able to edit with in Lightroom on the go and now I also use it for design things like drawing and creating photoshoot moodboards, etc :)
You should definitely make more ipad edits❤️🙏🏽
I use VSCO for editing photos and videos on my iPad. So far so good!
Nice! You should check out my app too Digital Film haha 😅 we made it for phones, but I've been using it on my iPad recently and it works great there as well. I think I'm going to create a version specifically for the iPad soon too!
excelent ipad pro
hi julia I love editing on ipad pro😀
Excellent video! Thanks for going through this.
If you're on the go, like we are most of the time. You could also attach a USB-C memory card reader to the iPad. This will allow you to edit directly on the go and have everything synced when you return back to the office. :-) A good way of showing shots to a client on a big screen on a shoot. Being able to offer selections, show rough edits, etc.
Great video, I love my iPad Pro
I don't think I knew you could sync between Lightroom and Lightroom Classic! I'm definitely going to do that!
I never really took the iPad too seriously as a purchase for myself as I assumed you had to use Lightroom CC to be able to sync your files but I use Classic on my Desktop and didn't want to change it up. So happy you can sync from Classic!
really great video i've been looking for ipad with lightroom workflows and yours is the only one that i've liked so far! one quick question, when you go back to the desktop and you have the edits sync back, if you remove the photos from the synced album in lightroom does it retain the edits still? wondering because that 100GB would disappear pretty quickly and would want to make sure the edits stay with the file once removed from the syncing.
That's an inspiring workflow, Julia. Thanks for sharing and quick question, what size of iPad are you using?
Hey Julia great take on the iPad Pro. Have used my 2018 version and it covers most of my workflow 50% of the time. Would be nice if Lightroom did have those features in classic 🧐. Other apps are great tools to invest in like affinity photo, which is full photoshop version, with neat interface and lumafusion for good amount of video editing. The iPad is a versatile and the apple pen does wonders. Keep up the great content.😄
Thank you and thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely check out affinity photo - Photoshop on iPad is okay, it would be nice to see what other apps can offer too. Omg then pen is beautiful haha I love the sound it makes!
Hi Julia. Thanks for the video. I just bought an iPad 2020, in order to be able to retouch my photos, especially when I'm not at home. I used to use a MacBook Pro 13 which I wanted to replace with a MacBook Pro 16, but I ask myself if I might not take the iMac (in my home) instead because the iPad is more suited to my mobility needs than the MacBook Pro.
I use Affinity Photo for any retouching or “Photoshopping” I need to do it is awesome!!!! Keep up the good work beautiful love what your doing!!!!
Thank you! And yeah I need to check out Affinity, quite a few people recommended it to me for retouching, etc :)
Julia Trotti Yes please do I promise you will love it.... I will not use Adobe Photoshop app until it contends with Affinity.... I promise you will love it!!!!
Hey Julia,
Great video, as usual! Is it 11" or 12,9"?
Awesome
Loved the video. Just got the new iMac and iPad Pro. Keeping LR Classic so this was very helpful. Question about your importing to LR Classic...you said you create a new catalog (I think)...do you create a new catalog for every shoot? Perhaps I misunderstood your comment? Thanks!
Good morning, great video like all the others!
In your opinion, I have to choose between ipad pro and MacBook Air. Which one is better as only one?
I like ipad more but, If I choose it , Can I use external ssd as storage for images and Lightroom catalog so ipad memory is free? Or is it necessary storage images on pc/Mac and use Lightroom on ipad as mobile version connected to standard?
Thanks a lot
Please make more of these
Love the tone curve in the mobile app me too. I was wondering, how do you calibrate your iMac to make sure your pictures are correctly exposed?
Hi Julia! This is wonderful but I'm not using apple 😕I'm just starting out and can't afford to go that route yet. Can you recommend a workflow for Microsoft? Also considering doing Lightroom monthly subscription service any thoughts or recommendations? Thank you , Julia for your amazing content, talent and generosity in sharing your knowledge 😘💕💕💕💕
AWESOME! I’m using an iPad Pro and Light Room and this was perfect. +1 on re-looking on the desktop since I often do my first edits outside with different lighting. One huge + I found with LR is that you can have it laid out for left handers in the settings so all the menus are on the left side!!
Yes!! I edit the same way! Skin retouching is Waaaaaaaay easier on the iPad than editing on my MacBook Pro. My laptop is 2014 and goes a little slower than I’d like
Hi Jessica! Im so happy you commented this! I have a 2015 MacBook and I get so frustrated with how it runs. It works perfectly fine but I wish it was a big quicker! Definitely going to looking gettin this iPad now instead of a whole Mac desktop now for editing purposes!
Story time.
I want to start photography as a hobby and I didn’t know if I should just start editing on a iPad. With this video I think I will. I thought I need my computer to do it but the tablet seems so much better to hold and actually see and much portable.
Hi julia, amazing inspiring review. I currently using the free lighroom for ipad pro, if i subscribe the premium one, did i get subscribed to my desktop version as well? Or i should buy them separately?
Which iPad are you using? I just ordered an iPad Pro 12.9 in (33 cm) today. I have been editing with Capture One Pro on my iMac but they don't have a version that works for the iPad. I didn't bother editing on my iPad Air 2 but now that I am upgrading I will probably add both LR + PS back into my workflow.
Happy that I happened upon your video today, and I am now subscribed. Look forward to your future content.
Hi Julia! Awesome video as always. Just a question, I got the iPad Air 4, you think it's good enough to edit photos in lightroom?
Great 👍
Just wanted to say how much i appreciate videos like this! Im slowly starting to learn/make a photography a business, and I have so many little questions like this, do professionals edit on ipads or is that amateur? etc. For instance, I probably would have purchased another mac desktop in the next year, but now I will be looking into ipads. :) Your videos always teach me something new, and also make me more confident in my work! Please keep them coming! xx
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it! I personally would never replace my iMac with the iPad mostly because of retouching (for now) and video editing, but I have been meaning to try out if it could possibly replace my laptop for things like travelling - I will make another video when I find a good workflow for it all!
But on the other hand tablet and pen are a fabulous retouching combination. There are apps like affinity that are full blown „photoshop“ variants.
I don’t think you should spend time thinking about what a professional workflow is. I don’t think there is one, as every photographer has their own way of doing things. It’s important that you find something that works for you and is fast and not over complicated. Depending on your shootings, you may end up with 2000 so it’s better you have a workflow that works for you and is fast.
I personally import everything into the iPad, and the. Edit everything in Pixelmator Photo as it doesn’t require me to import the images again and I can directly work with the image and raw files which also utilized iclouds photo versioning. For me that is currently my preferred workflow
Yes want to see a retouch using ps on iPad! I use my iPad a lot for editing
Thank you and done! Will work on a video :)
Hi Julia! Love your videos! Which size iPad is this?
My partners builds computers, so he built me a desktop for my business/editing, plus I use a wacom, I also have a laptop for studio work with tethering (I can also edit on that if need be. When I am travelling I like to take my samsung s6 tablet.
my mac book has been sat on my desk collecting dust since i purchased an iPad pro 2020. My workflow is now entirely set up on my iPad. The mac book is now sold and its so much lighter to travel with an iPad and pencil
Thanks for the video! Have you ever had trouble with some of the photos not syncing in lightroom on your desktop after using ipad?
Awesome video, I am hoping to replace my laptop with an iPad soon. Anyone have advice on a PC desktop to iPad workflow for Lightroom?
