I live in Scotland. In Scotland, we are lucky to get any mobile signal. Forget 3G, 4G? What the F is 4G? Oh, yeah, the thing you get in some small bits of cities.

With this in mind, and therefore the lack of connection to the net for anything more basic than occasional checking of the weather and getting your emails, minus attachments, for much of the countryside outside of your own home, adobe has scored an own goal.

I was thinking about dropping it in favour of Affinity but would miss the keywording and lightbox use I have with Lightroom. I don't use Photoshop, I don't do that much manipulation. This could be a decider.

For the moment, there is a downloadable desktop version, Classic, but for how long will they support both? I can see if being short lived because of the encouragement to move to the cloud. I don't want to cloud. I can't connect to it half the time so what is the point. I have told Adobe what I think, not that they give a s***

Well I am waiting for 26th October for LR v6.13
It will be downloaded and used for as long as I have no suitable alternative.
I do have an alternative but LR while it supports all my current use cameras will satisfy me.

4G there is now 5G but I barely get 3G in Spain and 4G only near Madrid and Barcelona!

I can understand your over familiarity with cloud problems...living in Scotland.

:lol::lol:

I can't help thinking that the time for Photoshop, Lightroom, Desktops and Laptops is coming to an end. Our descendants will look back at our quaint bulky computers and software in the way we look back at the mainframes of the 60's.
:devil:


I was recently considering a MacBook Pro for our computing away from home. But at less than half the price, the 12.9" iPad Pro is literally an eyeopener. In fact the screen definition is far better than my desktop monitor (admittedly now 8yrs old).

With all the excellent apps for all requirements I am seriously wondering why I NEED a desktop anymore.

Can't get rid of it just yet....got an unexpected catalogue update to do which was originated in Quark. No rest for the retired it seems.

The laptop computer is a good solution for most people.
However the iPad is not powerful enough to run the new full sized applications. Things like Photoshop, Quark, etc., take a huge amount of cpu power which makes them fundamentally unsuitable for ipad-like devices.

At the moment!

My Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (i7 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD) is the closest hybrid to an laptop/tablet. It has a pen which is very good and accurate. The biggest problem is its cost which is £1500.

No cheap or free lunches these days.

I am managing perfectly well to compile movies and edit photos on a 12" iPad Pro at half that price. In saying that, it's important to accept that I probably wouldn't be able to compile a 1hour epic...but that isn't required. Most people would fall asleep during a long film of our outings. :lol:

We produce mini movies ...5-10min max..subsets of our adventures. These don't need super duper CPUs.

And despite being a long time Photoshop officianado ....the occasions when I NEED that amount of manipulation capability are really few and far between.

At the end of the day, it's down to how the final files will be viewed and used. Right now iPad editing is more than adequate....but I've still got the raws if another situation recommends pro editing.

o.O

I have to disagree, a bit. I have got an iPad Pro and since then, I have got rid of my laptop.
I can use my iPad Pro for all my raw processing on the go, and for updating anything net wise. Everything else can wait until I get back to my desktop and the joy of a proper sized screen.
