This video has a gold mine of information about file management using iPad and cloud storage. I’ve referred to it time and again as my photography hobby has grown and my needs evolved. Bravo 🙌
Man - this is wildly helpful. Thanks so much for sharing all of this. Your channel has legitimately been massive for me.
That last tip for extra backups on saving the edit as a raw sounds fantastic! have to try this out my self
THANKYOUUU FOR THIS VID (literally have all the products arriving in the mail shortly ) just got a new iPhone and getting better with my workflow and creativity process
That’s a hell of a good tip to turn off True Tone before editing. Thanks for that!
True but honestly I think it is just common sense that one needs to use.
Glad you caught that
My M2 ipad has a 'reference mode' option under display. Assuming ios 16 update put it there, if not it's a genuine feature over m1
I recently started up in digital photography as a hobby and do all my importing and editing on a Samsung A7 tablet, using the LightRoom app as my main editing software. It is good to see how you manage your work flow and I picked up some good tips to carry over I to my work. The one thing I did have to do to smooth the import/export process was to invest in some small hardware items (adaptors and cables) to be able to move images between the devices that all seem to use different types of USB connector!!! At some point I will probably have to look at an external hard drive for backup - I currently use the micro SD expansion slot in the tablet.
This video is golden. You broke the workflow down remarkably.
That's a super helpful video, thank you! I've just picked up the iPad Air 4 and I used your workflow from your last video for the first time the other day and it's a game changer. All the extra details from this one have really helped ☺️🙏
wow you really have your process and work flow down. i appreciate watching your videos.
Very informitive some great advice, love seeing workflows keep us updated going forward to how good the new iPad is performing!
Great video, definitely learned a few things from your workflows. Keep up the good work!
Thank you, this was by far the best video I’ve seen about how to set up a good workflow for downloading and editing photos on the iPad! I’m considering getting an iPad Pro to do most of my sorting/culling and editing, but was afraid to spend that much money on a device and then find out it doesn’t work that well for me. This makes it look very doable. I’m not really an Apple fan-I use a Windows PC and an Android phone, but have always said Apple makes the best tablets. I may try out this workflow on my iPad Air just to see how it works (obviously will be slower than the Pro) before I commit to purchasing the new Pro.
Thanks for the tip, I’ve only had the iPad Pro 11 for about a week, I had to adjust almost all the temperature on my laptop. I like your workflow 😁👍
Great Video Roman! Keep up the fantastic work!
Wonderful sharing. Just exactly what skill I am searching.
Had to watch it till the end for that final DNG tip! Thanks for sharing your experience with the device.
This is a great idea for when I have to get stuff done but also have classes! Great video 🔥
Good job. So many videos whinge about IOS shortcomings. It is what it is. You've played to its strengths and your workflow is pretty efficient. In many ways, it's adaptable to high-end Chromebooks too, as LR works about the same. Plus you get the keyboard and a real file system. I'm experimenting with my iPad and my Chromebook to see which direction to go in. Pros and cons for each.
Awesome video! Thanks for sharing your workflow. Helps people like me sort our own s**t out. I’m seriously considering getting the latest iPad and making that my primary device for photo processing.
This video is terrific! Thank you, Roman!
Have been using an iPad since last year for my photography and while it ha some limitations its been great for me! never going back unless I 100% need to for work
I always learn things of your videos! Many thanks :) Cheers feom Sweden
That’s a fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your whole workflow, it was quite deep and fun to be able to sit by and see how you manage your files!
I’ve been using my iPad for some editing but it’s not my main device. Gonna try it out to try to prioritize it since I love having it around.
On iOS 15 they might give us some better stats for file management. It seems that you already have EXIF info on the Photos app, just sitting there by the images (I use an extension for that). Let’s see if this will improve the Files app as well so it becomes more of a Finder than a fancy folder maker.
Cheers!
thank you very much for your videos
always informative and exciting
I have the iPad 2018 version but I mainly edit on Lightroom Classic due to having the option to edit straight from external hard drive and few extea features but I somehow find it more convenient editing on the iPad when on the go.
Bro, this was exactly the video I searched, thanks a lot!!!
I am so happy you told me about the True Tone function
Two cloud based solutions and physical too!! Ready for the photography apocalypse!! Great informative content yet again! Thank you
Well in theory if both Adobe and Apple cloud go down, we have bigger things to worry about than some photos lol. But the practical reason is if my internet goes down or i have a crap connection for whatever reason, i can access everything via HDD
Just got my 15pro max and was looking for an iPad for editing. This video pointed me in the right direction
Love the workflow you’ve developed! I’m sorting out the details of using a NAS with my iPad but currently use a very similar process as you. The cloud storage and physical SSD duplication is so important.
Hey Aaron, I was thinking the same, but instead I just got the Lacie 20TB RAID with Thunderbolt 3, if you want to use NAS at full speed, you need to create the infrastructure for 10Gbe or get a NAS with Thunderbolt 3 (around 799)... if you're prime member of amazon, they get you unlimited storage for photos (RAW included). I'm using amazon photos as backup for my raw, the cool thing from amazon is they can create the backup fro the external Lacie, also I have JPEGs on flicker (unlimited for 60 USD) and all the photos on the 20 TB RAID. My 2TB iCloud Photo library is full. Kudos, please let me know if you have any question.
I tried looking into NAS but I have no idea where to even start…. I will wait for someone else to mess around with getting NAS working with iCloud / Adobe Cloud before thinking about it. Cheers
@@snapsbyfox for a nas you need a raspberry pi and a SSD / HDD drive and a how to setup smb drive tutorial it will take few minutes to set it up
@@snapsbyfox I've set up my own home server with several HDDs that are mirrored on (ZFS) and off-site. The server then serves those files via SMB. This works like a charm when you have a great network connection (LAN > WIFI) on any computer, but with Files app on my iPad I encountered many issues. It is just not reliable and right now, I would not recommend this. Some issues include:
- loosing connection to SMB share
- Pixelmator wouldn't recognize some Fuji RAW files anymore
- file previews in the Files app don't work when using SMB
- slow in general
- saving a file back via share sheet fails sometimes
If you'd want to do this, I would highly disencourage you to use a Raspberry as you need a fast ethernet port on that computer and you would want to have a lot of SATA plugs available on the motherboard (for all the HDDs ;) ).
Another issue are huge RAW files. Even directly connected via LAN to my router previews need some time. So browsing through my photo library (goes back to 2012) becomes painfully slow. I am however working on a small web server to have blazingly fast proxies created for preview and served as a clean web app. Let's see...
This is a pretty sweet vid, I’m a photographer and I’m switching to a full iPad setup…this will be a good one.
Super Helpful Vid!
Thanks for sharing this, helps me understand workflow.
My question stems from an photo editor's point of view: May one *benefit* from Apple's Mini-LED display for the M1 iPad Pro 12.9' during post-processing (in Photoshop Lightroom)? Or will one only get to witness the "glory" brightness of 1000 nits and beyond *only* when *viewing* HDR content? I've been told that Apple's new XDR projects at around 500/ 600 nits during normal usage. Do you notice any micro-contrast detail improvements when editing on the 12.9' mini-LED vs the normal 11'? Please advise, and thank you in advance.
Dude, best video ever holy smokes Thanks!!
Love your workflow and videos👌🏻maybe a video in the future where you show the work on affinity photo would be nice 12:16 🙂
WOW, that I call some new input!👍
Dope video man very informative!!
Great video!
I’m thinking about purchasing an M1 iPad Pro for when I start traveling again with my Fuji cameras. Quick question for you. With iOS 15 were you able to do a speed test (download time) of downloading (for example) a 32 gig UHS-II SD card with a UHS-II card reader to the M1 iPad Pro?
and backing up the same full 32 gig card data to Samsung T5?
That was my workflow when I traveling to Cuba and Guatemala with the previous model iPad Pro.
Keeping it simple, sleek. Returning back to United States with all data on the iPad, the Samsung T5, and 8 SanDisk Ext Pro memory cards.
I’m trying to ascertain if there is a software bottleneck or hardware bottleneck with the new in one iPad.
If it’s not much faster I mayyyyy. just stick with what I have for another year.
Thanks in advance
Done the same myself. Love it
The DNG export for physical backup was really helpful. Otherwise, I’d say that my workflow is pretty similar. Great Video!
Love the workflow
Thank you, this has been super informative. If I understood you correctly, you end up completely deleting the images from the CC cloud after you're done with editing. Do you know if there's a way to keep previews up, but remove RAWs? (just realised I discovered your video in 2022 - still relevant, still informative).
Really C👀L 👍🏼
Thing though for clients and print: Screen calibration and brightness... I have my dedicated calibrated monitor for that. How do you handle this?
Cheers mate! Great stuff 👍🏼
My M1 ipad pro 11 inch just came in. Its great, my main editing rig is my gaming PC, as it is quite powerful, but I love being able to do edit on the go, or even on the couch. I didnt even get a big storage option, I just move my photos to edit on and off it with an ssd (superfast with thunderbolt ports) and am a happy camper. Once lumafusion adds thunderbolt support for editing off a hard drive this summer, i will be set forever. Its a great system.
Yeah that’s a good shout. Tbh iOS15 has to deliver something decent this year
I moved to the iPad Air 4 and although I don't use Lightroom (Pixelmator Photo user here) this video was very helpful!
Thank you, Very helpful!
Have you ever had issues importing when trying to add a lot of photos? I tried importing 100 photos from SD card to Sand Disk Drive via Files app on the iPad, but less than 100 were imported. No errors were shown. I think the buffer had something to do with it, but not sure.
I am a fairly new user to Affinity photo. Can you do a video regarding using Affinity, maybe some pros/cons. Maybe even a quick tutorials or tips. Thank you in advance. I enjoy watching your content 💯
Thank you for a great video, you’ve gained another subscriber!
Cheers!
Nice video Roman 👌🏼 Is it essential to use lightroom, when I edit my photos can I just leave as is instead of going into lightroom, plus it's the cloud secure?
great info! Thanks! Subscribed.
Great vdeo. 2 years later is still accurate. Thanks +++
Hey Roman, I’d love to see an updated version of this video. 👍
Thank you very much!
Getting a backup for my back up now! 😂
Very helpful thank you 🙏
Great video man. Just a quick question.
In the iPad where are the photos saved once you upload them into Lightroom? In the files app?
Hi! Great vid. I have a question about using iCloud only. I start my photography course at uni in September and i want to keep my bag as light as possible. If I used iCloud storage exclusively for my photo storage will that effect the quality of photos or anything like that? Appreciate the help :)
That’s a great overview with some good tips. I struggled for years to make an iPad-only workflow work. I gave up when the M1 Macbooks came out and They became competitive with the iPad in terms of weight and battery life. In hindsight, maybe I just didn’t have a sufficiently up to date iPad (12.9 inch 1st gen pro). Lightroom runs slow on it (esp the brush tool) and it uses a lightning port. Anyway, I’m happy with the M1 Macbook Air and LR Classic. (Apart from on Easyjet, when it’s a bit of a squeeze!). Would be interestingbto see an update of this vid with ios 16.
I would 100% invest in a synology nas. So affordable these days and extra piece of mind wit redundant drives and such
I’ve got the base iPad and I really have to upgrade now because the lack of performance, really helpful video!
I don’t see any reason to buy an MacBook now
Nice one mate! Thanks so much! 👍
Nice. Very helpful. I have the same SSD - you should look at a caddy & NVME M2 solid state as these are better. I picked up a ugreen caddy & 1TB crucial M2 for lesss tham £100 on prime day
For me 12.9 iPad Pro was too big, so switched to 11” M1. For heavy duty M1 MacBook Air is on the desk with Capture One.
Hi, could you able to export and save the 5.6k videos (5504 X 2762) on photo album without blended in 4k (3840 X 2160)resolution in iPad Pro M1 ?
As I known iPad Pro did the same to compress my 5.6k video to 4k, I asked many source including GoPro , apple , unable to get right answer
Hello Mr Fox, I have this question in mind: Is it possible to tether using lightroom (or any other software) on ipad? If it is, then which is better using ipad or pc?
The recent announcement that Capture 1 is in development for the M1 iPad Pro means a serious shot at mobile device post production. Announcement says C1 for iPad Pro is currently in development and will be released early 2022 I believe.
Can you help clarify, how do I import photos straight to my iPad, if I don’t want it to go on the iCloud.
Do I have to import the photos to camera rolls/files, and then load it on Lightroom? Or can I import it straight into Lightroom.
I don’t want any photos on iCloud.
Nice video. Can I ask you what is the App you use to add the white border to your photo before posting it to Instagram? I just got an 11" iPad Pro and want to use it as my main editing and workflow device for my analog photography, and finally post the photos on Instagram but I don't want to crop my photos. So. I am trying to figure it out what App to use to add the white brothers without cropping the image. Thank you again for sharing your workflow with us.
Curious to know what you use to share your final work with your clients? I find that using the Adobe Cloud doesn’t send out the best quality
Can I enable store locally for an album only when i am editing that album and then turn it off when I finish exporting to save the ipad space ?
Are you able to body shape subjects on the iPad? I’m having trouble with that and skin smoothing on my iPad Pro. I have both Lightroom and photoshop apps
Hi Roman! Thank you very much for your videos and keeping down-to-earth way of speaking to your audience! If you have a chance can you explaine how to use iPad for tethered shooting, I just couldn’t find any info on that? Thanks again!
at the moment you can’t….. maybe in the future
Any suggestions in matching color profiles between Ipad and Iphone (13)?
Colors and edits seem to shift and look duller when exported and air dropped from Ipad to Iphone even though I’m exporting to sRGB 🤔🤔
This is workflow is good. But I face one issue. When I export to camera roll from Lightroom, metadata (date and time) is lost. Any fix?
My apologies if this is a daft question, but do the image files stay on the external drive when importing in to LR mobile, or does the importing process move them on to the iPad? Thanks. Simon.
Is the blooming affects note taking?? On dark background... Should i go for 2020? For note taking... If possible make a vdo also😀
Thank you for your video. I have a question, that I think you covered but I did not get it 100%. I am thinking for buying Pro 13inch with 256GB or 512GB. I work on thousands pictures, so I would go for a iCloud or Adobe Cloud - 1T. Is it correct how I get it: when I import 10 000 wedding images to iPad, it stores all of the raw data on the cloud and keeps proxy on iPad? Or I am getting it wrong? Normally I bring home around 6-10K shots from a wedding, then pick around 600-800 shots and edit them. I cannot delete the unused shots until client confirmed they are happy with the final result. So I don't want to keep all raw files on the iPad for 1 month. But if the raw files are stored on the cloud - I would not mind. But then how does the upload works? 8K shots it is about 150GB. When I import to Lightroom - it still saves them all on the iPad and only then uploads to the cloud and deleted from iPad and keeps Proxy only? This is where I do not understand how the process works. Please advise.
Affinity's inpainting tool is stellar.
What if I export as DNG to Photo App on my iPad…will I see the picture after export as Original out with edits please?
Hello, do you shoot in RAW as i know ipad os has trouble viewing lossless compressed + compressed Fuji RAR files? do you know of a work around to quickly browse through photos without launching lightroom?
Your video is the answer!
Can I get the link to your usb c card reader device? I didn’t see it in your description box. I may have overlooked it.
Wondering if Capture One for Ipad got into your Ipad? Looks quite raw yet. No layers, masks, curves, etc...
Just ordered my first iPad pro and wanted to say thanks for putting this video together! Definitely going to work off of this flow. Great content, thanks again.
Thanks for avery interesting vlog, you seem to have a good system.
Can I ask I recently got affinity photo but it now seems to hijack all my photos. I can't open a file old ones or new without it going into affinity photos editing straight away. I.E. if I want to just look through a file it won't work without opening in affinity first and I have to look at one photo at a time.
Anyone any ideas.....
I watch your vídeos from Cuba, i'm a big fan of your vídeos, especially cause you are so honest.
I have a doubt...i really like the Orton effect but im gonna start to edit on my iPad....cause my pc monitor is not calibrate....in this case.....how can i do the Orton effect in the ipad or something
Hugs!!!!!
Do you ever have issues exporting to the Sandisk SSD? I just started using a M1 Pro, and want to use a SanDisk SSD as a physical backup when traveling, and then a method to transfer to my PC and then onto a HHD.
I import from my R5’s cfxpress card right into Lightroom. My intention is to cull and edit within Lightroom and then export the DNGs to the SSD, like you did in the video. I have been trying to export a month’s worth of photos at a time, 100-1600. After Lightroom finishes rendering them within the Export As with DNG selected, I then go into the SSD and build a folder system Pictures then 2021 then 12 as an example for my December pictures, and then export. This sometimes works, but sometimes when I export my 2nd or 3rd month, into the month’s specific folder within the 2021 folder, the process does not complete correctly. All the folders within the parent Pictures folder on the SSD are erased, and the month’s worth of photos are now in the Pictures folder themselves. I though this was an error with the SSD drive and ordered a replacement, which did the same thing. I believe it may be an issue with Lightroom Mobile/iOS because I have tried to export 1609 photos/videos one time, and when they are finished rendering and ready to export, it said I could was going to share 1411 of them, regardless if it was to the SSD drive or the iPad’s internal Files folder. Any idea if this has been experienced before or what I may be doing wrong? This iPad process with a SSD is the exact solution I have been hoping for, but this exporting issue and the inability to confidently store physical backups is very frustrating. Thanks!
Amazing!!
Do you not export in Raw?
I have an almost identical workflow to you but I am trying to move away from Adobe completely, I wish there was an alternative as good as Lightroom on the iPad.
I have iPad 12.9 m2 and it’s overheating every time when I start editing raw files 55-60mb in Lightroom. maybe I'm doing something wrong? Or is the iPad not that good for editing raw files?
One year later, anything changed? Still happy with the ipad pro?
What’s the name of the first mobile app ( sounds like dockroom but i dont find it )
1st Time Viewer. i am enjoying this video... I do have a question.
You did not detail what you are using in the "Video Description Section"...
Thanks!
8:45 You can actually choose a lossless compression (ZIP/LZW) to keep the file size smaller. No quality is lost. Don't know how fast the iPad can work with losslessly compressed TIFF-files, but it's worth a try.
Thanks for the heads up…. i will have a look. Always thought compressing could mess something up. Will check. cheers
@@snapsbyfox Lossless doesn't mess up like JPEG does. A 70 MB 16-bit tiff file could go down to around 50 MB with lossless ZIP-compression
i don't think i'll ever edit my photos on an iPad but i really dig your setup! I am happy for you
it was really interesting, good vid!
Why would you not edit on an iPad? Just curious as I’m really interested in this new iPad as a computer world.
@@Wilfrat I doubt the Adobe apps perform the same as their desktop counterparts and have the same full functionalities. I could be wrong though ^^
When I want to edit stuff on the go I just use my MBP 16"
More screen is always better and 16" isn't even enough x)
But if you like it go for it 👍🏻 i still think it's cool
Ya talked me onto it.
Hey, Great video! I've got a small question. with lightroom, do you have access to the fujifilm presets that come with the camera? can we go through them and change if needed?
yeah :)
