    The iPad is all I use. Not sure why you didn’t like the experience though. Or how you could have edited it much differently on the computer. By the way in the settings you can have it so lens corrections are always applied. I just stick with Adobe colour but there are many other profiles and presets in the menu. And the magical AUTO button can be a good starting point once you have cropped. An important thing with editing on a tablet is to know what brightness level to have the iPad on in a given lighting environment otherwise you will over or under brighten the image in editing.

      Hi could you elaborate further on the brightness levels in certain situations? I was thinking of editing my RAW photos straight from my iPad Mini 5 but as you say I don't want to over or under expose etc.

    • @aussie8114
      @aussie8114 4 года назад +5

      Soarific It’s not that easy to work out the correct brightness level along with the ipads white point setting. I decided on a white point setting of 37%. You will find that in the iPad settings. To work out the brightness level I edited a photo on the iPad in a darkened room with just a small wall light on. I then had that edited photo printed with the print shops auto correction turned OFF. I then brought the print home and looked at it indoors during daytime to see if it looked too bright or too dark. I did that a few times before deciding on an iPad brightness level. I now edit all photos at that iPad setting and always in the same darkened room. Alternately if you know someone that has a correctly calibrated monitor you can edit a photo then email it to them to asses for brightness.

      @@aussie8114 Thanks so much for your detailed reply, it is clear you have done a lot of work! I've tried multiple times to calibrate my monitor but after further research it appears everyone shares the same thing, that my monitor isn't for editing photos, the colours really lack even after "calibrating" etc. So I can make photos look fantastic on my PC but once I transfer them over to my phone for example all the saturation and colours I seen on my PC are no longer on my phone. I'm in a Facebook group and people suggested buying a decent monitor. Thanks again for your help!

    I don’t have a computer, just my iPad. This was a brilliant introduction (and more) to Lightroom On the iPad, in fact I could have saved much time and indeed money if I had found this before buying a useless book and a 2.5 hour tutorial that taught me far less than this video. You chose a great image to illustrate the process, I liked your method of teaching, thank you for your help.

    I’ve found editing on the ipad much nicer when using the apple pencil, things feel more precise and you can tap on the sliders to perform incremental adjustments

    I will be processing images on my iPad Pro this summer when me and my wife take a two week trek to Yellowstone, Grand Tetons, and Glacier National Parks. But I’m kind of like you when it comes to my preferred method of editing on my computer, I have a 27-inch iMac with 5k Retina display and editing on it is one of my greatest joys in life! Lol!

    To answer your question Anthony, I use LR for Android, iOS and laptop.
    My preference largely depends on the amount of editing required, I opt for the laptop when editing images taken by mainly DSLR, big screen, fine tuning the details.
    However, images taken on the go with the phone, LR for mobile does the job just fine..

    Thank you for this tutorial Anthony. I also don’t like to edit my photos on a mobile device, but I sometimes shoot with my iPhone or iPad, then bring the photos into LR Classic and edit them in my computer, always using LR Classic. Now, one thing that is driving me crazy is that I am not quite sure what files are generated by LR Mobile, how to change their location and how to rename them. It would be wonderful if you could enlighten us on that topic. I like to keep my files neatly organized by folders/locations but at this moment there are a few files from LR mobile (or cc, whatever the official name is these days) and I am not happy about it! ie. Files in the cloud vs files downloaded from the cloud vs synchronized files vs... you get the point 😊

    On a trip, I just take my iPad and do initial editing for X-Pro2, GRIII, and iPhone images. It's invaluable for me for culling, and basic edits such as lens correction, geometry (levelling), crop, and anything obviously wrong around light. The images are of course backed up into the cloud too assuming there's sufficient bandwidth.

  • @philipcolumbus3054
    @philipcolumbus3054 4 года назад +7

    If I remember correctly, Lightroom mobile on the iPad processes the image preview stored in the cloud which may explain some of the "blotchiness" you noticed.

  • @BobG-eh5fc
    @BobG-eh5fc 4 года назад +1

    I agree, looks much harder on the ipad. I wonder if it would be easier if you had the apple pencil? Thanks for the video, first time I've been exposed to processing on an ipad, looks much harder.

  • @bobtaylor5584
    @bobtaylor5584 4 года назад +3

    I process all photographs (RAW or JPEG) on my iPad Pro, and with few exceptions, I have been very happy with the experience. Lightroom has improved dramatically over the last 12 months on the iPad. I guess I’m one of those photographers who values simplicity and portability over the ability to refine every last pixel of a photo. If a photo does not have a good deal of promise coming right out of the camera, it is not likely that dozens of little tweaks will greatly improve the situation.

  • @artventurespro
    @artventurespro 4 года назад +5

    What was the main reason for your ‘slower’ editing process in the iPadPro compared to the laptop/desktop?were you using a trackpad and apple pen or just your fingers? I’m currently using a MacBook Pro in editing and I’m planning to get an iPadPro11(2020) with the magic keyboard and Apple pen so it saves me weight/space in traveling..my main concern is not mainly the process but the lack of the other tools in LR desktop version over the the Mobile Version..

  • @hodgkissphotography
    @hodgkissphotography 4 года назад +1

    I’ve been using the iPad (12.9 2018 pro version) for the last 9 months to process all my pro work. I can cull about 10 times faster and edit faster than on my MacBook Pro. I also, export and upload for the client to my Zenfollio account. I rarely need photoshop work on them but if I do I use affinity photo which does way more than I need. It’s weird as Friday I left my iPad in the studio and had to process on the MacBook Pro at home instead and had the same but opposite experience to you where I found it clunky and wasn’t happy with the edits!

    Are used to do all my processing on the computer but then I got a 12.9 iPad Pro with affinity full and like them I just don’t understand how you could not like doing it on an iPad then Apple Pencil it’s just like sketching the precision is fantastic and at the end of day that was just a snapshot I was never gonna look any different than a snapshot

  • @mrdavie99
    @mrdavie99 4 года назад

    Thank you for this video. I have been following you for more than two years and have learned much from you. If you have the option to take your computer with you, then I assume it is a laptop. That is not an option for me since I utilize a desktop computer at home. I do want to process images when I am away from home; that is why I invested in the iPad Pro. There is always the option to do a little tweaking of ipad-processed images after returning home. Of course, it is more than just processing an image. The latest iPad operating system supports connectivity with external storage devices, which allows me to import images directly from the SD card to Lightroom. Regarding the processing you did in this video, I thought the color and contrast looked great after you completed your tweaking. I would crop out a little more foreground to enlarge the subject and reveal more of the tree by moving the subject to the right just slightly, but what does a photo enthusiast know? There is of course, more to file management. When synchronized with Lightroom Classic, I have to find where Lightroom saved these images locally and move them to the appropriate folder to conform with my storing images by year and month.

  • @BobG-eh5fc

  • @kemerthomson
    @kemerthomson 4 года назад

    I agree that the iPad version isn’t quite as “precision” as the laptop, BUT when on the road you can do a quick and pretty good edit, fine for posting on Facebook, then refine it later on the laptop. The only caveat is that this approach involves moving a lot of data presumably on your cellular plan. A good question is how to completely sidestep the Adobe Cloud when working in the field. You can turn it off while out of WiFi range, but then you have the awkward problem of moving the images and their edits from the cloud to your private storage. It can be done, but Adobe wants you to buy more cloud storage, in fact, to keep everything there, and so don’t make it particularly easy.

    That delayed "blotchy" rendering when editing photos in lightroom is the reason I returned my ipad pro only a day after buying it. Especially when you change the effects and detail of the image it's just a blurry nightmaire until it renders wheras on my macbook it is a smooth transition. It's weird though because I have the macbook air so technically the ipad pri should be "more powerful."...I'm just glad to see another photagrapher not enjoy the editing experience on ipad, I was begining to think I was the only one

    Interesting video which I wanted to watch with Apple announcing the new 2021 M1 iPad Pro.
    Like you I use a MacBook Pro (2015) to edit photos on Lightroom Classic but love the tactile feel of the iPad and am seriously thinking of switching from my 2015 MacBook Pro to a 12.9 in iPad Pro with a magic keyboard as my MacBook is nearly 6 years old and getting ready for a refresh. Problem I have is I don't like the touch pad on the new M1 MacBook Pro.
    I get the feeling your not a fan and wonder if it is a chicken and egg scenario and if you actually used the iPad more, it would become as familiar as the MacBook?
    Cost wise, I think an M1 12.9 inch iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard would be a similar price to an M1 MacBook Pro so it's a real dilemma and one that will probably be based on how it actually feels.

  • @JonBushell
    @JonBushell 4 года назад +1

    Cool. Mobile isn’t close yet to classic LR. It doesn’t do a close enough job at all and worse for me is the difference in things that should be the same. Example doing an exact same s curve in both softwares produces different things. Moving whites and blacks to near clip produces different results and I think we can except less functionality fair enough but some basic things should render the same results. It also creates random noise with adjustments that shouldn’t creat noise and as for noise reduction, that’s poor. So I think they should have started with maybe less functionality but made it the same and then build from there.

    • @aussie8114
      @aussie8114 4 года назад

      For a mobile app I think it is excellent. Close is a subjective word. It is close but of course not as close as a professional photographer may like it to be. It would be nice if they continue to advance it.

  • @zhonjohansen3953
    @zhonjohansen3953 4 года назад

    For me processing wasn’t the problem with leaving my laptop at home. Workflow it my problem. I imported over 1,000 images into Lightroom Mobile. I picked, edited and published a couple of images (no problem). I couldn’t backup my images to the cloud because I had too many for the cloud. I also couldn’t backup images to a HD because I can’t access the files on the iPad. Next problem: I could only get a number of files up to the cloud at a time. So I uploaded to cloud then down to Lightroom Classic. Then deleted the transferred files from the cloud. After a week, I am still trying to transfer my file. Lightroom keeps crashing!

  • @howardberliner9073
    @howardberliner9073 4 года назад +1

    I find it difficult to process an image and even to load the images to the I-Pad. Carrying the laptop is preferred at all times. An occasional correction on the I-Pad is ok.

    I have cropping done, he says. Humm . . . What about level? That doesn't bother you? LOL. I guess some eyes see it more pronounced. Thanks for the walk-thru video. Much appreciated. :-). PS: If you don't trust your read on the horizon line behind hills and such, clouds are always flat to the horizon. Always. Your pic? Not so much. The only pass I'll give you is that if leveled, he might be "leaning over her" - na - it would be a better crop. Try it. :-)

However, I think I remember you using this same photo in another Lr tutorial and in it you mentioned that it was your son and his soon-to-be bride. Am I correct? I am just still learning to edit on my iPad Pro, it's a little tedious compared to editing on my giant 27-inch iMac Retina 5K!!

    • @AnthonyMorganti

    I would like to ultimately be able to process my LR images on the iPad Pro. But I don't think it is there yet and besides, my small lightweight Dell 13 inch laptop is powerful and I can do the LR Classic on it. So I don't get why so many Pros are trying to just go to the iPad?

    • @JonBushell
      @JonBushell 4 года назад +4

      Jay G. Most things on the iPad are just so much more convenient like social media and the iPad Pro’s have more than enough power to do stuff. I often will relish loading photos onto iPad to develop and then quickly remember it’s a bit naff. There is no reason for Adobe not to get mobile a lot better. They just haven’t yet so hopefully a big update soon.
