PS CC for iPad?

Probably the same plan as with LR CC, free, but to gain the full sync features a Creative Cloud subscription would be required. Currently I have the 1TB plan for $14.95/month. https://www.macrumors.com/2018/07/13/adobe-photoshop-ipad-2019-report/ I wonder how it compares to Affinity Photo - about £20/US$25 once-off purchase with a 30% discount at the moment.... https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/photo/ I haven't used both so I can't comment. We will only be able to make a true comparison once the proposed version of PS for the iPad is released. I have both for my Mac, and iPad Pro, and as capable as Affinity Photo is, on my Mac my preference remains for my LR+PS workflow. Affinity Photo (AP) on my iPad Pro, is a better editing/adjusting app than the combined trio of PS Fix, PS Mix, and PS Express. AP does not have the asset management, editing, and desktop/laptop syncing capability of LR CC. I think this PS was an obvious development for Adobe. If I had to make a choice for a non-Adobe iPad photo editing app it would be Affinity Photo, or Pixelmator. For an iPad/macOS combo Pixelmator does a very good job of syncing between iPad and desktop via iCloud. However, my choice for non-Adobe stuff for my desktop would be Alien Skin Exposure X3, Luminar, On1 Photo Raw, Pixelmator then AP. Just to be clear: You have expressed preferences for some very fine post processing programs. However, you have not tried Topaz, and therefor3e properly omitted it. As for Luminar, it is an excellent program, I have tried it on both a Mac OS and a PC. Although Skylum, the publisher, claims that their programs work equally well on both a MAC and PC, from my own uses, I don't think the PC version is ready for prime time. Having said that, for HDR and color mapping I prefer Aurora, despite its glitches. To answer the first of your questions, I tried a few of the Topaz plug-ins about 4 years ago, and they just did not do it for me. I have not been a Topaz fan ever since. To be fair, things might have changed, but my bias remains. Luminar released an update last week which they claim has addressed some Windows version issues. https://skylum.com/blog/enhance-your...atest-luminar- updates https://www.dpreview.com/news/357095...-1-3-0-update- brings-many-improvements-new-camera-support or https://tinyurl.com/ybrz9uqq https://www.thephoblographer.com/2018/07/11/luminar-2018-version-1-3-0/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

It almost acts as a proper plugin for PS. When using it in LR, there are still issues saving the image back to LR. I have no present interest in dumping PS, if that changes, I will evaluate my options at that time, as software can be counted on to morph. -- PeterN |

I have no present interest in dumping PS, if that changes, I will evaluate my options at that time, as software can be counted on to morph. Personally my preference is for an LR CCC/PS CC workflow with the additional assistance of various plugins. I have yet to find a replacement which does all that I use LR CCC/PS CC for. On the Mac both Luminar and Aurora function as Adobe plugins. However, Aurora has limitations under PS, and works best from LR CCC. With Aurora under LR CCC you would select the image files for HDR merging, right-click, and from the menu select *Export to Aurora 2018*. Once you have competed adjustments and tone-mapping under Aurora the result should be saved back to LR. That said this thread was more of a discusion regarding Adobe mobile apps, iPad Pro, and the proposed *PS for iPad*. On my last trip away from home I travelled without my old 17” MBP, and used my 512GB iPad Pro with LR CC and Affinity Photo (AP) for on-the-road initial edits. My major beef with AP is its lack of integration with the Adobe CC ecosystem. Though it does use Apple’s iCloud to facilitate some sharing. So for the most part I have been happy with not having to lug a laptop, and to do the away from home edits with LR CC, and have those edits synced to my Adobe CC storage for syncing to my desktop. Having the proposed *PS for iPad* would be a welcome addition, but not that necessary given the capability of LR CC on the iPad Pro, especially when combined with the Apple Pencil. Since that trip LR CC has had a few updates and is even more capable with included camera profiles, and other features, but I have not had to use it much since March. So I loaded the 100-400mm windsurfer shoot to try a few iPad edits on the latest LR CC update, and I am impressed. So if the proposed *PS for iPad* doesn’t materialize I could survive without it. Here is an LR CC on iPad Pro edit. https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-nwJgRPn/0/0c87049f/X3/i-nwJgRPn-X3.png https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-qRnbCSC/0/16672399/X3/i-qRnbCSC-X3.png https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-ZW2HtXF/0/8a06af02/O/i-ZW2HtXF.jpg -- Regards, Savageduck |

On a PC, you have to re-import the file into LR. I still like working with Aurora, and hope they will fix that bug soon. -- PeterN |
