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.  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.  Trust a man to have to get the 12" version. The 9.5" serves me just as well

My goodness, second page and were'r still on topic! LOL That was my thought Jan, I have now downloaded the Lightroom 'lite' onto my MBP. I have uploaded 5Gb of images to the Adobe servers. Took a little while despite being on a 200Mb/sec fibre link because the upload is limited to 12Mb/sec. I am beginning to think the search facility in the new Lightroom 'lite' isn't so daft as some people make out. It found bridge, sea, Louise, boy, girl, water, sea in a number of other descriptive words from about 900 images almost instantly straight after completing the upload. OK, it didn't get them all right, but the correct offerings came first, followed by the less correct offerings with the junk selections last. I have to admit I haven't been a great fan of keyboarding because of the work involved creating them. Despite that, probably 80% of my main images are key-worded. Far more useful to me are names of faces and GPS locations because I can usually find any image I need from the date (year) and location. I accept all the practical issues with uploading vast numbers of massive very high resolution images but with my modest D3 images it's not too bad. I don't plan to rent the optional 1Tb extra storage, when I have the images on my Mac Pro desktop, I will probably delete the bulk of the images from the Adobe servers. Up to now It's working OK. I want to experiment with the new selective tools in Lightroom Classic next. I have some challenging night time images taken with the 16mm fisheye with a very wide exposure range, I have manually bracketed up to five exposures of most shots. I think I may have to erase some blown out areas of the longer exposures to reduce fogging.

I agree that the ipad provides convenience and low weight but the apps lack the power of full blown app on the computer.

Then she fell so in love with the pro screen she also bought a 9.5 to replace her iPad 4 mini. I got handed down her iPad 4 mini.

One of the complaints I often hear is the excessive depth of unused features in the full blown desktop software. No doubt Adobe monitor which parts of the software is used regularly and which rarely, if ever gets used. The iPad Pro is a pretty capable and very fast processor, take out the dross from the software and concentrate on streamlining the rest, result will be a perfectly delightful and usable device. As Mrs. Field has found.

I believe these days there are far more people who do only minimal processing, now that they have expunged the initial excitement of digital editing. At the same time there are app developers that seem to zero in on the basic editing needs. If I need to do cutouts...I still use Photoshop on my desktop. But as I only really do these for commercial publications which then use InDesign or Quark or Illustrator, the desktop is still required. I suppose the 3d frame and step outsIve used in the past may also require more processing....not to mention my Photoshop Actions! That said there are some more advanced apps that have layers and cut out techniques. I fully intemd to try some ...to see if the iPad is capable.

For general photography the modern DSLR turns out very good, well balanced image files, usually only needing minimal tweaking 'to taste'.

As part of the updated offerings which now come as part of the Adobe photography package, besides Photoshop, and the two versions of Lightroom, you also get Adobe Portfolio. Portfolio allows you to create a showcase website with your own URL, unlimited images and various layouts with some flexibility to customise the layout and content. I have been wanting to do this for some time, I have a Flicker account but I only use that for hosting and posting images on forums such as this. I feel Flicker is too utility to act as a showcase. Up to now my only issue with Portfolio is the apparent inability to add captions and comments to individual images. That MAY be my ineptitude using the slightly peculiar interface. No doubt some smart teenager would accomplish it in seconds! I find some of the web based software hard to understand and not at all intuitive. The URL for my Portfolio account is: https://seapy.myportfolio.com/ It's very much work in progress, I'm groping around trying to get it set up as I want it so don't expect much. I have simply dumped a collection of images from Lightroom classic into Portfolio whereupon it created an album with the title from the Lightroom Collection. I am going to try adding captions to the images in the hopes that that may propagate to the Portfolio album.

2018 will see the emergence of many 3-5 new offerings that will seriously challenge Adobe Lightroom CC not only on price but performance, features and will offer either subscription or purchase. Adobe will fond that they have lost a lot of customers and over time this may cause them pain.
