If you’re thinking that this probably isn’t the bravest or most innovative tech switch that has ever been made, you’d be right. This is quite a change for a device which – while enjoying a fleeting period as my writing tool of choice – has largely been a consumption tool since I purchased it. From today, and, specifically, this blog, the iPad Pro is going to be the only device on which I edit my photos. One of those devices is the iPad, and I’ve been aware for quite some time that the combination of that lovely, expansive 12.9” screen, Apple Pencil and ultra portability makes Apple’s tablet a rather compelling photo editing device. The latter relies more heavily on cloud storage (or, at least, Adobe continually pushes you in that direction in order to increase their services revenue), which consequently means it’s far easier to use on multiple devices compared to Lightroom Classic. For the uninitiated, Classic is the version which has been around for many years, while it’s singular namesake is the latest iteration. I recently made the switch from Adobe Lightroom Classic to Lightroom. Whether it’s my M1 Mac mini, iMac or MacBook Air (yes, the Air), once photos have been captured, they’re treated to my finely-honed editing process. Until now, my editing suite has always been a Mac. The same goes for my YouTube thumbnails – they’re all based around a photo I’ve taken myself (usually of my own face – which, yes, is weird).Īs fellow content creators will know, in order to encourage clicks, you need decent imagery, and that does mean spending a fair amount of time on the edit. I use a professional DSLR camera to capture them and take great pride in ensuring they’re as interesting and clickable as possible. Practically all of the images you see on my blogs are photos taken by yours truly.
I’ve attempted to resurrect it as a secondary screen on my main desk, and while a cheap little stand from Amazon brought it back to life for a while, a studio re-jig has left me with less space to play with on said desk. The Air has fulfilled pretty much every requirement I have for an iPad since then, but I’ve not been able to let go of the big one. I’m still struggling to get excited about the M1 iPad Pro, but the use cases I’m hearing from professional photographers and content creators have inspired me to make quite a big change.Įarlier this year, I switched from a 12.9” iPad Pro to an iPad Air, but I held onto the former.
