I purchase this new 6th gen iPad Pro 12.9inch with the new m2 chip, terabyte hard drive and 16gb of ram. I have noticed an issue when running Lightroom and based on a quick search seems like it's been an issue with Adobe for like 5 years now... when running light room I input my photos directly into the iPad from an xqd to usb c card reader. All files are RAW images, import all photos intonlightroom and then get to work. After I get into about my third or fourth photo the screen will drop to about 50% brightness and I'll have to wait for maybe 2 or 3 minutes before it will come back up. Auto brightness is turned off and you can pull the drop down when this happens and see that screen brightness is turned all the way up. If I get into a photo with four or five layers it will happen even faster. I can sit in LumaFusion editing 4k video for two hour and this will never happen. Five minutes into editing in Lightroom and my iPad feels like an oven. Also noticed this program seems to drain the battery down very rapidly. Seems like a poor use of hardware but I'm not engineer. Super frustrating to have a 2k dollar iPad that Adobe can't seem to work with? I would be more than happy to give more info about based on my Google search this appears to be a pretty well documented issue that has been going on for quite some time now...
p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post if it helps you get responses.
Welcome to the Lightroom Community @JoshuaKlug. I'll help you figure this out. What version of iOS are you working on?
Log on to Lightroom Web (https://lightroom.adobe.com) & check for all the images that have synced & uploaded to the cloud. Once you're sure everything is backed up to the cloud, try reinstalling Lightroom & let me know how it goes.
