Adobe makes a version of Photoshop for tablets called Photoshop Express. I have it on my Android tablet. It is pretty basic. It works on JPG's, not sure about RAW.

Once I knew how to use PhotoShop, learning gimp (*) was trivial, but that could be a result of my being a retired computer geek ... so my background is like that of its developers.

(*) consistent with its UNIX roots, it's name is usually written with all lowercase letters.

The GIMP. It's powerful and free. There is a Windows version. Big on-line help. Excellent, illustrated tutorial from a guy in Europe. Write to me off-list if interested.

Droid: PhotoEditor. It has a lot of power for a small portal. I use it on a phone as well as on a tablet.

Looks interesting, does it do RAW? esp Canon ?

The GIMP does. I don't use RAW a lot. I believe the photo data gets converted to GIMP's .xcf format - like Pshop converts to, is it, .psd format.

The OP did not say if he was looking for free.

Lightroom CC has and Android version. It's good! Adobe's Photoshop Express works too and it's free. On my Samsung tablet it edits RAWs from Panasonic and an Olympus. It may be that Photoshop Express is using the raw tables from Lightroom CC on my tablet.

For video, Adobe provides "Adobe Premiere Clip" on both iOS and Android. I think it's free. Very recently Adobe rolled out Premiere Rush. It is intended for those that want to get content to the web "in a rush". So far, there are versions for Windows and iOS. An Android version is in the works and is one of those "real soon now" promises.

Thanks everyone!

I have been using Gimp for about 15 years, but not much for photos. The other suggestions are great, and I will likely load several of them and try them out. Ones that were not mentioned here, I will be more likely to skip over.

Also the comments on Android are appreciated. I think tablets as very capable devices, but did not give much consideration to the fact that the bulk of the applications are written for phones, rather than large tablets. That's OK, the ideas presented will help save me time looking at things, and serve to set my expectations before I invest much time.

For general info, I pretty much shoot RAW all the time, and having packages like Darktable, lr, etc will simplify things like color balance and gamut adjustments. The machines I have are big and I have a large network with several NAS, so that is the general system view for much of my processing. I may still be able to use a tablet to get a rough cut on an image, but we will see.

Again, thanks all. More and better answers were received than I thought I might get, so this has been pleasant.

The following should work on Linux for raw files. Check your distribution for packages:

gimp (uses ufraw for raw files)
ufraw
dcraw
rawtherapee
darktable

Of course there may be others. Good luck,

Before I started using GIMP, I used an application that started as paid, then became free and open sourse called Lightzone. I consider it a sort of darktable light, as one draws freehand mask in a way similar to darktable. I found much easier to learn, and also felt I could get good results from it. For me, darktable is the cat's meow for raw editing in Linux. On the Widows side, I have recently begun using Capture One which is also very powerful (I took advantage of a promotion to purchase a perpetual license - otherwise, it is quite expensive).

I also use LR/PS CC, and, of course, they are very good as well.
I had no problem using cs2 from Wine in Linux, but no joy with CS4 and up.

As mentioned previously, darktable and GIMP both are available for Linux and Windows.

There are many great choices out there.

Have fun.
