I use it just for quick light editing (Lightroom mobile) is easy mostly for quick share and Facebook great for traveling as well but for serious editing is on my MacBook Pro or my imac

Several years ago I replaced my old MacBook Pro with an iPad Pro with plenty of space for photos. I use it for lots of things - reading, web browsing, typing (with a Zagg keyboard) and photo editing (with the Apple Pencil) in Lightroom, Photoshop, Photos, and a ton of other aps like Procreate, IColorama, etc. My desktop mac remains my primary photo workstation with LR Classic, Photoshop and my other more “serious” photo tools. But when traveling, or when I want to tinker a bit while watching TV, I use the ipad. I use Adobe cloud to move the photos from the ipad (along with their edits) back into LR Classic once I get home. Then I delete most of them from the IPad and from Adobe cloud. That way I don’t need extra cloud space and I don’t clog up the ipad with too much stuff. This system works well for me. But everyone’s needs are different.

I have (Had? Not sure where it is at) the Ver 1 that requires it be stuck into the USB-C port of the computer which is a huge PIA.

The magnetic charging is a good update!

Can you do this with full size raw files or does it only work with reduced size jpegs?

The magnetic version 2 is a much better setup.

I use Lightroom on my iPad - especially good for editing on the fly for customers at sporting events. Sync with your phone and the iCloud and it’s a great solution.

Yes. My raw files average around 20 mb so they’re not as big as those from a full frame and I can’t speak to those. But my iPad Pro which is now about 5 years old handles the raw files easily. I download directly into Lightroom, edit, then the full size raw files move themselves to my desktop computer when I get home, with the edits. Those I’ve taken into PS on the ipad go back to LR and then on to my desktop computer. The only time I run into trouble is when I have more pictures than my basic Adobe cloud can hold, then I have to wrangle around with it in phases.

The only time I ever run into unexpected compression is when I take a side trip through Apple Photos, where odd things can happen.

That’s good to know!

That is the workflow I had hoped to achieve however I got frustrated with the shortcomings of IOS. Now if I travel I just take a laptop along.

I just bought a new IPad Pro 13.9” with 512 GB. Got the Apple keyboard and pencil. I have all the Adobe apps on it because I have a Creative Cloud membership. This thing loads pictures from my cards very fast and is great to view all your shots quickly. The Lightroom App is different but works very well with some tutorials and practice. It seems to be very close to taking the place of a laptop. I am very happy with it and the battery lasts a lot longer than my other older IPad. I would buy it again but it comes down to personal preference. It is not cheap!
