Thank you all for commenting. I think I might have not been clear as to why I even use the iPad to copy my photos onto. When I travel with my Canon system, every day I copy my photos onto the iPad. Then I use the SanDisk two sided device (lightning on one side, and USB on the other) and copy all the photos from the iPad onto the SanDisk. That is my backup, the SanDisk. USUALLY, I then delete all the photos from the iPad each day. This way, I don’t carry a computer around, and I have a backup for all my photos. I never use the cloud. It is not enabled. Maybe others of you do, but I do not. THIS ONE TIME, I decided to do some edits on the photos on the iPad, originally taken with the Canon 5Dii. It is not my imagination. The photos, once edited, are under 1 megabyte. The originals are 7 to 10 megabytes. So for some reason, it is not preposterous, as one of you thinks, but the editing on the iPad greatly reduced the file size of the photos. UNEDITED, the photos are original size. Once edited, they are greatly reduced in size. So far, I have not seen any reason for this. And once again, I am not at all interested in using the cloud for any purpose such as this. The one and only question is, why are the file sizes reduced when edited on the iPad. Thanks again for reading this, and I’m sorry if I was not clear from the outset. JimR

The problem is that the RAW images cannot be edited using the Photos app on the iPad. What you are actually editing is the jpg imbedded in the RAW image. To edit the RAW image you would need a 3rd party app. There are lots of details here https://thesweetsetup.com/using-ipad-photography-workflows/
