Art is nothing but pursue the perfection in your mind.Īs of today, it's clear enough to me which of iPad Pro or Macbook Air is the better choice.Pros: There are so many free image editing features within this app. It has nothing to do with earning money or not. I'd like to add an iPad for sidecar and pencil support but I'd probably not use it once the novelty wore off. I'm really liking having the second screen. My setup for the past year has been a MBP with an external monitor. I'm probably just set in my ways since I've been using computers since the TI-99/4A and am comfortable with the form factor. I also find that I prefer a 13' MBP to an iPad for portability. I tried using an iPad for a little bit, but I found that I prefer having a big screen for when I work with my photos. I've not tried the iPad app but I do like the MacOS app for the occasional thing I used to do in Affinity (and PS before that). You may want to take a look at Pixelmator as a simpler alternative for Affinity. I also find I now tend to prefer the simpler photo apps since I tend not to do much more than culling, keywording and a few simple adjustments.

I can see why a professional would want it. I too am a hobbyist and very rarely print. I agree with you on the need for calibration. But of course this reflects personal taste, too 😇. I have to use Windows Computers and Tablets at work, that’s enough IT-punishment for my taste 🤪 😉. Personally I would always prefer Apple Soft- and Hardware. If you provide some more information about what you expect from an iPad Pro and/or a stand-alone Computer, you will get better information. So, what does this mean? It simply depends on your personal needs and preferences. I have the Affinity App, too, on my iPad Pro, but to be honest, the usability is kind of PITA and too complicated for my very basic needs. So, personally I like that I can upload all my pics to the iCloud and for 99% of my editing I just use Snapseed or even just the built in editing tools of Photos. As a mere hobbyist I don‘t need thinks like color calibrated monitors or editing programs with all bells and whistles - I don’t earn money with my boring photos and just take them for my own pleasure. I am using iPad Pros for almost four years, and because I used to travel a lot, they became my preferred devices for photo editing, too.
