    Those three apps are my most used editing tools on my iPad Pro, too. But, I also enjoy Raw Power because it gives you control over the raw pre-processing just like the long defunct Apple Aperture did. Also, it's a one-time purchase.

    I really hope Affinity make a Lightroom competitor, I feel like it has the potential to be very popular!

      I, 100%, agree with you. I use Lightroom in my Mac and occasionally use Affinity Photo on my iPad. The photo app has different features than the Designer and both apps are well built. My only reason to going to Lightroom in my Mac and edit the raw pictures is because I feel a bit lost/overwhelmed in Affinity’s menu. Maybe if I used it more often I’d be fine with it.

      Same! I'm so sick of Adobe and absolutely love what Affinity has made, I would buy a Lightroom competitor in a heartbeat if they did it. I'm hoping to unsubscribe from Adobe next year when my payment is due.

      Totally agree, i'm so looking forward for leaving Adobe. Last week i updated all the apps not knowing it jumped to a new version engine but my maine Mac Pro only support Mojave so i can upgrade that particular machine, then i edited an all session in my iPad but then i realised it could not sync with my main machine, so disappointed. Unfortunately Darkroom its not supported by Mac OS 10 (Mojave and Catalina) and does not support compressed Raw files, i don't get it... do i have to shoot always uncompressed (50mb files)??

    In 2019, I took an iPad, and a laptop to Dragon Con, with the intention that all of my photos from the week would be edited on the iPad, only using Photos, Pixelmator, and Affinity. It took a lot longer to get everything edited and uploaded, organization was a huge problem. (I was also seeing if I could break away from Adobe).
    2021 at Dragon Con, I only took the iPad, and that was essentially only for storage, didn't try to edit at the convention. Took the stuff home, loaded into a desktop and started working with Lightroom Classic, and use the iPad to do edits while lounging around; but, doing the heavy duty work on the desktop.

    I have an iPad Air m1 5th generation. So far editing has been a breeeeeze!
    the pros are :
    - the pencil! this absolutely changes the way I edit on my iPad, it feels a little more intuitive and I honestly love it.
    - I use Lightroom CC, and it is pretty easy to use if you know your way around Lightroom on the laptop or desktop, then you will have no issues on the iPad.
    - when youre doing a lot of edits, lets say 800 photos or so for a wedding, or for some paid event/work. The idea of sitting in front of a desktop or laptop for extended periods gets taxing on the back, gets tiring on the legs. Editing on the iPad, you could stretch out, get into more comfortable positions.
    - get a good sd card, cfexpress card type b etc. card reader. if you want to edit straight off of the card. if not I extensively use files, and find it works well. export times of 24 mpx raw files is not an issue, its relatively fast. Transfer raw files to the iPad on to a folder, I add to Lightroom CC -edit- export to new folder as jpg.
    - finally the ability to edit anywhere and everywhere, sometimes in from of clients on the spot, for example I did a shoot for a boutique, we hired a model to show off their new seasonal clothing and right after the shoot I edited a few images in front of my client asking for her input on how she wants them edited. once we had settled on the type of edit she wants I came home edited the rest sent her a dropbox link. That easy. AS opposed to emailing or messaging back and forth, giving her edited samples, getting feedback, re-editing them, resending them. Also it just is an intuitive feeling to hand your client an iPad for them to see their expected finished product right after the shoot!
    - also on vacations I have stopped taking my laptop, I just take my camera and the iPad.
    cons:
    - forget batch processing.
    - sometimes when I try to open a photo from Lightroom into photoshop it doesn't work. the photoshop app will open but the photo won't. if you love photoshop, be prepared for struggles with this.
    - affinity photo is awesome and I use this mostly for some serious work, like headshots where I ned to retouch the skin, the eyes, blemishes, fine tune the hair, do any color changing of hair etc. for more fine tune work. but then it kinda sucks coz you pay for the subscription for both Lightroom and photoshop, but then you end up not using photoshop.
    - if you are into heavy ai usage, especially for masking on Lightroom, then youre better off on the desktop version, you cant do that on the m1 iPad Air.
    - can get hoooot, dont edit with iPad on lap. edit with iPad in a position where it has airflow.
    iPad Air is so capable, I would like to upgrade to the m3 iPad Pro 12.9 when it comes out, mainly because the pro iPads have this hover feature with the Apple Pencil and that is pretty useful and intuitive!

  • @TheAbennett72
    @TheAbennett72 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Two big differences between Affinity and Lightroom. Affinity can stitch photos together, Lightroom cannot. Lightroom targets Adobe cloud storage and syncs across devices, Affinity relies on device storage (which can be iCloud for example, and thus syncs across devices also, but is more flexible).

    Could I work with iPad 10th gen? I have never had iPad and always had MacBook pros but my last one just died and wondering what to get for the purpose. Desktop is not an option in my studio. Need to be very portable.

    Great video Matt! I’d love to hear more about your workflow in terms of transferring and storing photos from the iPad. Apologies if you’ve already addressed this in another video I haven’t seen. I use a Windows PC with Lightroom to edit and organize my photos, but would really like to get the iPad Pro for easier culling and editing on the go (or on my couch when I don’t feel like sitting at my desk for hours). Do you use Adobe Creative cloud for storage and transferring photos to your desktop, or just export to an external drive to move them over? I’ve thought about getting the Microsoft Surface Pro instead, but really like the iPad even though I don’t use any of Apple’s other products (and will never use iCloud again-bad experience!)

    Batch editing can be sort of done with Lightroom CC. Transfer a whole shoot to the iPad through Lightroom, do a blanket colour correction, gradients and brushes. Export the best as DNGs to an external drive and then import them to Lightroom Classic on your desktop. The adjustments seem to hold and it gives me a head start to edit the finishing touches.

    I've got the latest iPad Pro from work and I tried using it for this kind of thing and it was just too frustrating. I got an M1 MBP and it's life changing... It's everything the iPad Pro/keyboard thing has been trying so hard to be, but it just does it a million times better. Even if you just go for the Air it would be better.
    It weighs less than the big iPad Pro but has the same screen size. You can actually put it comfortably on your lap without it potentially rocking or tipping. It's got a full OS... Full desktop programs and it can actually run them (including Premiere Pro) very fast. Battery life is incredible... It takes up the same amount of space in a bag too. Unless you're totally married to having a pen it's not even close. If you have an iPad and the Mac its awesome to use as a wireless second screen.

    @hughwolfe1176 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I must be one of the last holdouts not utilizing Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom which doesn’t bother me in the least…
    Twelve years ago I purchased my Nikon D700, 16-35, 24-70 and 70-200. I also picked up a 17” MacBook Pro and Nik photo editing software, now owned by DxO. Yes I purchased Photoshop and Lightroom, but I never really liked either of them. Since Adobes gone for the subscription format I refuse to use them as I can’t predict my photo editing, I may go several months without editing a shot so why pay for something you’re not using. Now if I was a “pro” I could deduct all of the monthly subscriptions, but most of us don’t earn a living from photography…
    So for myself I prefer to sit at my desk in the presence of my large monitor with some music playing in the background. The whole idea of switching from a laptop to a desktop arrangement was for more screen real estate so I could stop constantly scrolling while editing. The idea of going “backwards” to a smaller screen iPad to edit makes no sense to me.

    How do you export photos at LR to retouch later at affinity. Do you retouch the jpg or the RAW ?

    • @Mikri90
      @Mikri90 ปีที่แล้ว

      You can't retouch RAW in that manner. If you export a RAW file from LR, other software just doesn't see those edits because a RAW file needs to be interpreted and contrary to what people generally believe, a RAW file isn't just the same thing regardless of software. Every RAW editor will read it according to it's own rendering pipeline and the results can vary greatly. The edits made in LR would be invisible in Affinity if it is exported as the original filetype. So I am 100% positive it's either max quality JPEG or something like TIFF/PSD.
