New iPad Pro (2018) : Good for Photographers? By Samuel Elkins

What's going on everyone welcome to new YouTube video today we're talking about the brand new 2018 iPad Pro. The iPad Pro itself is a revolutionary tool for artists, making things like editing images, creating sketches and designing logos, more efficient and portable than ever before, with the plethora of apps and accessories available. Is this the device we have been waiting for when I first heard about this newest iPad I had to see what it was all about. There are tons of talented tech YouTubers out there who can talk about all the tech sides of this, but for me, I'm most interested in how this thing can actually help me with my photography and my business. Is it more than just a glorified Netflix machine? Let's find out. As far as specs ago, I decided to go with the 11 inch 256 gigabytes in space grade I also purchased the brand-new Apple Pencil, as well as the Apple folio case.

Just as a disclaimer. We all know the iPad still isn't a MacBook Pro, but can't handle more than everyday tasks for a working, traveling professional photographers such as myself. That's really what I'm curious about this isn't going to be a replacement for my MacBook Pro and I know this rather a simpler way to edit images on the go as a photographer. I am very interested in how the iPad Pro can handle full frame: 20 megapixel raw cr2 files, straight from my Canon 1dx mark ii, which is my main power horse camera. The new iPad has 6 gigabytes of RAM, which really helps in these situations, making photo editing much more efficient, usually I would back up my images right away, but if I'm in a pinch, this would work quite well, I believe Ted of RAW images.

The workflow on the iPad itself is pretty easy. Once plugging in the card reader via the USB adapter, the images pop up right on the screen, you are able to scroll through select and long tab to view images and pick your favorites. This process works flawlessly even with the C fast card readers thanks to the new inclusion of USB-C, which is huge for that bed. This unlocks many ways of connecting, and I can't wait to see what accessories hit the market in the next coming months. Overall, it's a pretty easy process, but it could be time-consuming with massive amounts of images.

I focused mostly on after light in disco for editing after light I would say, is the most powerful offering a wide range of sliders and RGB curves, which are very easy to adjust. You know in the new Apple Pencil disco, on the other hand, is great for just applying their film stock presets and doing moderate adjustments to correct HSL and dynamic range. Very impressed of how these images look after simple processing via my iPad Pro, the Apple Pencil for me, is really the main attraction, especially when paired with the new iPad Pro, and it's 120 Hertz refresh rate. It really does feel like an actual pencil in your hand. Making brushes and adjustments feel natural and precise I love how it clicks into place on the side of the iPad charging wirelessly without any hassle.

I'm going to do a separate video about a mobile Lightroom workflow as I want to dive deeper into this ? before giving a full review. However, I'm super excited check out my room on the iPad as well as Photoshop, which is coming in early 2019 according to Adobe. Next is the camera. A lot of you are wondering about this, and, to be honest, you shouldn't take photos on your iPad. Contrary to what most tourists would say, I would stick to your phone or other mobile devices before using an iPad camera.

However, the camera is not a bad choice in a pinch, but I found it awkward to hold the iPad with the pencil attached, while taking a bit of the new liquid retina edge to edge screen is really what sold me with his iPad Pro to be able to view my images full res on this bright vivid display and share them with clients and friends, is amazing. The colors are so accurate. It really makes the image pop out of the screen and feel more inviting with the screen being edge to edge all in all my first impressions with this 11 inch. iPad pro are great, even though it seems I OS is really the only thing limiting the insane power of this device. I'm excited to dive deeper into this and see what it's really made of, including legroom and Photoshop, editing workflows to see what it can do when I don't want to lug around my heavy MacBook Pro I really wish external storage was an option, but with the inclusion of USB, see I'm sure this can be fixed with software.

Let me know in the comments, if you have any questions he's like me to answer in the next video. Thank you so much for watching again, and we'll see you guys in the next one.
