P: Full version app for Apple iPad Pro

...And Duet display. 🙂

Exactly. As it stands, I'd have to buy half a dozen non-Adobe apps just to get a few more features that I use in PS on my computers. Sure, Adobe's mobile apps do some things a bit better than other free/cheap photo editing apps, but for anyone wanting to use the iPad Pro as their main device, it makes the entire cost of CC outrageous. Right now it'd make more sense to cancel the CC membership and spend the money on a bunch of apps that get you a convoluted workflow that ultimately gets you Photoshop-ish results.

I completely understand keeping the regular iPad and iPhones on the barebones Photoshop apps due to processing power, storage, and other features. But the iPad Pros have great CPUs and GPU chips, even more so with the refreshed line. They also have support for the Apple Pencil, some pro-oriented iOS features, and even a (basically desktop-class) file manager as of iOS 11. There's nothing hardware-wise that would prevent Adobe from porting their most popular CC apps over to the Pro.

I'm sure everyone would much rather have a full version of Photoshop for iPad, but Adobe doesn't seem to be in a hurry to make one. So Astropad is all there is for the time being.

The Pros are even more powerful now- they just bumped them up to the A10X and claimed they can compete with a desktop i7 in graphics editing applications. I don't see any reason for Adobe NOT to port desktop apps to the iPad Pro at this point- unless they don't want to move developers to a new project/hire new iOS devs. But we pay enough for our CC subscriptions that this shouldn't even be an issue for Adobe.

I've also heard good things about Astropad, but the entire point of the iPad Pro (at least, according to Apple) is to replace the laptop, not be an accessory. Sure, being able to use my iPad as a graphics tab is nifty. But the iPad Pro is capable of so much more- the new ones can compete with current-gen i7s in terms of computing/graphics power. Why would I want to lug around both an oversized iPad and my Macbook, when the iPad is easily capable of running a full-featured CC app if Adobe released one?

Hey I also have duet display. Duet is also starting to ship duet display pro that, while not nearly as effective as Astropad as far as option, provides the tilt and pressure use of the Apple Pencil even on windows.
Hope that helps.

They actually have 2 versions. One is the standard that is basic stuff and then they have studio which is for more complex things. It depends on your needs.
The website is just Astropad.com

Great to hear about your Astropad experience. Would love to try it, but I have a Windows laptop, so I can't use Astropad (yet). I use Duet display sometimes, but it is far from perfect.

It also doesn't solve my other problem. When I am out shooting, I have a rucksack full of camera (and camping) gear and my iPad Pro. I don't want to bring my very heavy Windows laptop with me. For the weight I save, I can bring an extra lens or set of lenses with me. The iPad Pro is ideal for on the go photo editing. It's weight is low, battery lasts very long and iOS just simply works fantastic with your fingers or the pencil. It also does not have the quirks of Windows (update) and MacOS lacks touch support. Really, for me there is no substitute for iOS.

Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC on iPad would be awesome! There is an oportunity for Adobe.

I'll have to look into it. I don't think Adobe is providing a solution any time soon.

Hey guys.
Someone already mentioned this a while a go but there is an application called Astropad. It lets you use the full functionality of the Apple Pencil and iPad Pro along with any desktop mac app.
I got it and I absolutely love it. Though it isnt a solution from adobe it is a flawless solution.
