Ipad replaces computer retouching?

At the beginning of 20 10, the ipad was released. At that time, the ipad was just a big-screen iphone in terms of function and appearance.

After the time was up to 12, the release of ipados system greatly liberated the productivity, and even the M 1 chip on the mac was put on the ipad. The more things ipad can do now, the more convenient it is.

For us who deal with photos every day, can ipad take the place of computer retouching? Really do what the advertisement says: Why should your computer be a computer?

At present, most devices with Typec interface can be directly connected to the ipad. After updating the ipados system, the mobile hard disk can also directly import files.

The convenience of importing and exporting file data is of great significance to media workers. Now, the new system can directly import data into the application, even if you plug in an external storage device.

In terms of retouching software, the Adobe family also has an adapted ipad version, but the Lightroom and Photoshop versions of the Bank of China have abandoned their functions to varying degrees.

Lightroom: It has most functions of LR Desktop Edition. At present, only the version without color correction function can be downloaded.

The functions such as brush, mask, geometric correction and original film processing need to be unlocked by paying subscription, which can be replaced by software such as pixelmator Photo and darkroom.

Photoshop: The desktop version and the ipad version have the same code base, but their functions are quite different. Ipad can even handle Psd files of other devices.

At present, only the severely modified version of Express can be downloaded in China, and there is no download channel. It is suggested to use affinity photos with similar functions instead.

Can ipad replace computer retouching?

Up to now, I have been retouching with ipad for three years, and I have just experienced the changes of ipad system. According to experience, ipad will be the most suitable device for "light" retouching on the mobile side.

Why is it "moderate" rather than completely replaced?

When you search for videos and texts related to ipad, you will find an interesting phenomenon. Most of them are hand-drawn and electronic notes, and there is little photography-related content. ?

Compared with the desktop version, the function of retouching software on ipad is not perfect enough. ? The core functions such as pen tool, custom brush library, vector diagram and color space layer style are not available in Photoshop for ipad. ?

On the other hand, the setting of shortcut keys is confusing, far less convenient than computer keyboards, which greatly affects work efficiency. Therefore, as a "light" retouching device, ipad is suitable for photographers, but there is still a long way to go to replace computers.
