I glanced to the right at an entangled pile of power adaptors and external hard drives tethered to my laptop – a necessary evil to power my growing Lightroom catalog and years of RAW files. As a photographer, my mind immediately raced towards the obvious question:Ĭould the iPad Pro replace my laptop in my photography workflow? It was that running a full version of Photoshop signaled a whole new world of possibilities that mobile devices were never capable of prior to that moment. It wasn’t so much that Apple was touting the 3rd gen iPad’s capability to run a full version of Photoshop (which is still kind of insane if you think about it). But then the Photoshop demo hit the screen and I was hooked. I’ve had one or two iPads before then, but had always found their size and performance to be somewhere in the awkward middle amongst my ecosystem of devices. Admittedly, at the time, I hadn’t paid too much attention to it. Back in October 2018, Apple introduced a bold new generation of the iPad Pro.
