iPad Pro 11" + Lightroom CC Travel Photography Workflow // I should have been doing this sooner!

Ғылым және технология

I've long been looking for a secondary / back-up / personal travel workstation for a while that is light, intuitive, responsive, fast, and powerful BUT is not another Macbook Pro. I found this in the iPad Pro 11" (3rd Gen). The M1 chip has truly elevated the iPad to a portable workstation capable of handling heavy, professional-level post-production photography work for a fraction of the size and weight of a desktop. I tested this new setup and workflow during a recent personal trip to Club Paradise in Coron, Palawan, and it's truly a game-changer. iPad Pro 11" + Lightroom CC Travel Photography Workflow // I should have been doing this sooner!

    Thanks for the video. I've been using an iPad Pro for many years now and to be honest, it's the best computer I've ever had the pleasure of working with (and I've been using computers since 1980). The software's getting more professional by the day, thanks to programmers who dare take the iPad serious. I used the free version of Lightroom Mobile for some time now to edit some photos (learning), and this week I finally took a subscription. Now all my photo's are easily available on my iPhone, my iPad and online, instead of on my old iPhones, on my Mac, on my iPad, my old Windows computer, on some drives, cards, etc. I didn't even know what I had, but now I have it all available on my iPhone and iPad and I really love it ✍️😂👍

    I also work with a 16 inch MacBook Pro and an 11 inch iPad Pro. The real deal killer of this workflow for me is the fact that Lightroom won’t let me work off of external drives. This means that my Lr catalog can only be as large as the available storage on the iPad Pro-fine for a weekend trip with cellular connectivity but far less feasible for a six week trip with limited connectivity by either cellular or wifi. Since other apps seem to be able to work off of external drives, it is hard not to conclude that the issue is Adobe trying to extort people into buying cloud storage space while completely disregarding this particular use case.

    My original iPad is second generation so I waited a bit to upgrade. My original still works kzread.infoUgkxUGaHtKW8MwCql2fPyIm9-ftTqSMzKFFA , but the battery is bad and won't stay charged so it always has to be plugged into a power source. The new 10th generation was a great bargain for Prime Day that I couldn't pass up. It was easy enough to set up: everything came down from iCloud with no issues.

    what is your backup workflow? at some point that external drive is going to run out of space, so when you get home, you transfer all of that into more external harddrives? once those are full you pack them away and buy new ones? i'm trying to figure out what the best way to back everything up. i was thinking of getting an ssd, do all my edits of video/photos off of that, but before doing so, copy all the content into 2 identical hard drives. that way in case one hard drive fails, i can buy a new one, and copy the first one over. when i finish with my project on the ssd, i was thinking of copying the project files and final exported content onto the 2 external drives as well. now that the project is done, i delete everything off my working ssd. finally, once my external hard drives are full, i store them away. that's what i have been thinking so far, what do you think about that workflow and backup flow? (i don't want to pay for cloud subscriptions because those would fill up in the future too).

    Hello! Thanks for the question. For my professional assignments, I have two HDDs: a work drive and a back-up. I use photo mechanic to automatically duplicate files when I ingest from camera. When I get home, I transfer the work drive to my RAID thunderbolt drive. Past projects I store in a NAS, cloud, and offsite HDD. I based this on Dan Carr's 2019 version of this article (shuttermuse.com/photo-backup-routine-early-2021/) and has worked well for me ever since.

    I'm so over paying Adobe a monthly subscription. Unfortunately, they're the ONLY game in town that offers cloud service and syncing between all your devices; computer, iphone, ipad, web. I REALLY wish Apple would bring back Aperture with iCloud integration/syncing. I've come close to dumping Adobe and just using Photos + RAW Power, but Photos falls way short with the lack of brushes/smart selection. Otherwise I LOVE the fact that you can edit RAW images with RAW Power non-destructively and while keeping the file as RAW with your changes. IF Photos or RAW Power gave us brushes/selections, it would be game over for Adobe.
