My pro photography Lightroom and Photoshop iPad editing workflow with focus stacking

I show how I edit photos in Adobe Lightroom on the iPad Pro, before taking the images into Photoshop to focus stack them together, creating a blend that gives sharpness from front to back. While I do focus stacking often on the desktop, it's a much more fiddly process on the iPad, but doing it manually with two images like this is perfectly doable.
I also show how I edit the images to get a filmic look, including exposure and colour adjustments and using the curves tool and colour grading tool to achieve my final image.

I love the MacAllan 15 year old in the background. Cheers!

I use iPad a lot because I love the screen, thank you for the extra tips 😀

Andrew, thank you for all your videos. Off-hand question, what brand is your iPad keyboard attached to your iPad? Thank you!

[@galesaunders4120]

Thank you for sharing, always keen to learn new processes. Always love your videos, I especially like the blur ones I have watched in the past.

Hi, this is great. I use photoshop and Lightroom Mobile on my iPad Pro, but I find it harder to blend images together, you’ve helped me worked out why! Thanks.

This works well for simple blends. Affinity Photo for the iPad can handle more complex examples, but that is another application to buy and learn.

Love your content, learning so much, just starting out with photography but loving it already! I would say the software side is where i'm lacking, would love to see more tutorials with Lr and Ps on the Ipad.

Thank you for this informative tutorial. I only use the IPad Pro for all of my photo editing so this video has certainly helped my workflow. I continue to hope that more of the desktop (lightroom) features will soon be available the IPadPro specifically the noise control option slider and being able to use the curve tool in individual masks. Again, thank you for the lesson and I look forward to more in the future.

Really like your tutorials! But why for PS edit you export files to jpg instead of DNG or tiff? Wouldn’t that preserve you much more quality?

[@rosu1981]

Thank you for this tutorial, but can you try the same tutorial using Affinity Photo?

I just bought an updated iPad so I’ll try this on the new device. Would make traveling easier than lugging my iMac laptop around because that thing weighs a lot. Andrew. I set up and tried to snap some pics of a flower. Trouble is, I can’t figure out how to tap the new spot I want to focus so I can get the shots needed for focus stacking. I have the Nikon D500 and so I don’t have the auto bracketing your camera has. I rewatched your video on Macro at Home (the red flower uploaded 4 months ago) and you say to zoom in to focus and everything moves. I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’m using manual focus and I’ve set the camera just as your did. But if I try to move to focus another area, the picture snaps. Any ideas? - Tammy

So basically photoshop on a iPad does not have auto focus stack option, on Affinity photo auto focus stacking works brilliantly, 5, 10 15 photos uploading with different focuses and done. here you have to manually mask two photos to have focus stack image

Can you do that on photoshop on pc? Also do you have to pay for affinity photo? Thanks in advance
