Greetings from Bali! (Usually from the United States)
I decided I didn’t want to drag around a laptop on our out of the country family vacation. I got to thinking and decided to buy an iPad mini 6 and couldn’t be happier. Not only can I quickly download my images from my Nikon D810 (36 megapixels) with a USB-C card reader, and very quickly, but it’s so easy to simply open up the iPad do some edits, and close it when I’m done. Most of my edits I’m doing quite comfortably with my finger, and when I do need more precision (rarely) I didn’t have to buy an overpriced $130 USD Apple pen. For 1/10 of the price, I found a rechargeable USB Stylus on Amazon. It doesn’t have tilt or pressure sensitivity, but I don’t need it and the point is very fine.
And then I realized when I’m traveling I can also use it to back up to an external USB thumb drive by selecting the images, and then exporting in Lightroom to files and selecting the drive.
And then to top it off, when I get home, all I have to do is turn on my computer, and all my images and edits will be downloaded into my Lightroom classic catalog. No more merging catalogs and hoping all the images land in the right folder! How cool is that?!!
My question is, is it possible to import from my card reader and have auto tone applied.? That would be a nice help.
I’ve made a number of development process (not that “creative kind“) but more of the edits I frequently do, which has made optimizing them obviously easier. Now I’m just hoping that Adobe will fix the issue of having to re-compute AI masks as they have on the desktop version.
Open to more thoughts and suggestions. Best to all.
