Should I consider replacing my old laptop with an ipad?

ipad photo editing apps raw image

Donna C

It's time for me to get a new laptop. I see that technology is moving in the direction of touch pads, and I really like the concept, but I'm not sure if it's where I need it to be yet. I don't know much about apps, but I would be willing to learn if they can do what I need them to do.

I do light graphic design and armature photography on a freelance basis. I see that Adobe has some kind of touch apps coming out but I have no idea what they are capable of. Could I upload and edit RAW format photos? Could I do basic design layouts and create and edit basic web coding? (HTML/CSS)

I also do some copy writing on a freelance basis. I assume that there must be some kinds of apps that are similar to the Microsoft Office suite, but please correct me if I'm wrong.

Please fill me in as to whether or not the ipad technology is something that I would be able to use for my work. I would love to embrace this new technology if it makes sense for me to do so at this time.

Thank you!

I'd get a new laptop instead of an ipad. If you want a tablet that's got a full operating system, get something like the microsoft surface pro.

Downloading lightroom on to iPad 2?

Sarah

Can I download lightroom on a iPad 2? I've looked at the apps but all they have are directions on how to use lightroom and tutorials to use lightroom and books and stuff, but I can't find how to download the original lightroom to actually edit photos.. I've seen people on YouTube using an iPad with lightroom on it but there are no videos on how to download it on to your iPad...

Answer
You will have to contact Adobe support for some answers.

To my knowledge, an iPad is not really designed for photographic workflow or retouching your images.

I shoot only in RAW and just after a few assignments, I would totally fill the SSD drive in an iPad even if I had one with a 128 GB SSD drive (the iPod 2 only comes with a 16 gb SSD drive).

My notebook has a 1 tb hard drive, 32 gb SSD and I carry two 1 tb external hard drives when I am on the road for any length of time.
