Walking your through my IPad M4 Pro first impressions with Live Photo editing, I figured this would be a fun way to show you what the new IPads are fully capable of. I’ve never actually used an IPad for photo editing, and I literally took the IPad out of the box and attempted to give you my most unfiltered opinions about using the IPad through Lightroom and editing with it.

Hopefully you enjoy this one, let me know some things you’re wondering about Apple’s new IPad M4 Pro!

    Exactly! 11 is the perfect size for mobility!💠💠💠😃

    Love this! Been considering picking one up myself to travel and edit light.
  • Thanks for the video. Do you recommand nano screen to edit photo or video ? I saw both at the Apple Store and do some comparison and I like nano render but colors seemed to be less accurate, but in the same time more « ink » like a true magazine. It was also refreshing to have a different render (glossy screen is like my IPhone, IMac or oled tv. Thanks.

    Great video! Picked up the 11" too yesterday... NO RAGRATS... 🤪💜
  • Great video. It would be interesting to see some edits of low light/high iso images and see how the iPad handles the LR denoise function.

    Did you feel like the nano texture was true to color when viewing final edits on other devices? That’s my biggest concern for photo editing on nano texture screen. Would love to see a Final Cut Pro edit video! Great video, thanks!

    Hi, great video, high speed development of photos! Would be great if you could explain in one of your next videos your workflow when using both, LR and LRC from SD card to final storing of files. I found that it works well doing every in LRC and via syncing have it available for further work in LR. However the other way round seems to be a bit more complicated …
  • Great video! I’m curious how you feel about the color accuracy of the nanotexture. I am still deciding between nanotexture and standard for photo and video editing.

    ihave an M2 ipad pro 12’9 nd 11in but iwant the new M4 11in w the new pro pencil
  • I have the 13" I also draw on it so I want the bigger size. One thing I noticed is the new AI remove features do work better on my computer than they do on the ipad. I do not use that feature much and when it struggled was with things close to the same focal plain. I just had to do it in sections rather than all at once. I had the generation 4 iPad but did not edit on it until now. I sync my categories on LRC so I upload to the computer then go into them on the ipad it seems faster to me.
  • Wait, what do you mean Lightroom classic for the iPad? Are the naming nomenclature that Adobe uses confusing 😂? As in Lightroom for iPad? Are you saying this is Lightroom classic and can't open Lrc or Lightroom catalog from the desktop? I want to know

    When it comes to import, try using a dedicated UHS II (USB-C) card reader. Offloading images from SD card connected in a camera body is convenience, but it’s not a fast or optimized iPad workflow for photographer/videographer. But it will definitely do in a pinch. 3:20

    Probably the 13 inch would make for a better LR editor. The more area and larger the image, the better.

    Is it normal for the Lightroom app to drain the battery ultra fast? I spent about an hour editing photos and my battery dropped by about 30%. I’m new to iPad so I don’t know if that something I need to get used to?
  • Instead of flicking back to the main editing view to edit outside of your mask, you can duplicate and invert your existing mask and make the edits that way. I've been editing in Lightroom on an iPad Pro only for almost 5 years now, I can't imagine going back to editing on a laptop or at a desk. Unfortunately Adobe inexplicably still keeps some features from the iPad app, like HDR and Pano merge, Automask, and a few other things but it's a great way to edit

    Not sure if it’s been commented but the reason for slower transfer speeds from the camera is definitely the cable. The cable the iPad comes with will be usb 2.0 speeds. If you have any thunderbolt cables laying about give that a shot. 150 shots even at A1 resolutions should take like a minute at most I use a thunderbolt cable for transfers of my Sony a7iv photos and they’re very quick 😊
  • @Realdaveromero
    Did you use a thunderbolt cable to import photos? Does make a huge difference when it comes to time. Edit: yes thunderbolt! Not lighting lol
  • @jaredmeche6325
    Uploading the photos is going to be limited to the speed of the card(200-300mb/s if V90 XC II), even when direct from camera. Also, make sure you didn't accidently chose to upload both jpg and RAW if you have it set up to record both. I agree, it's much more fun editing on the iPad with pro. iPad Lr really needs things from desktop like mask intersecting and object selection. iPad Photoshop needs a ton of stuff. M4 seems to be more snappy with the masks than my M2 iPad Pro. Don't think anyone was asking for thinner ipad pro, so like you said, it would have been better to add more battery and maybe some heat sinks. iPad Pro will never see its full potential as long as Apple is protecting the Macbook Air and lower end Macbook Pro's by keeping it on the more limited iPad OS.
