Not there yet

- $10- a month, is 4 real?utopian
- I think that is WITHOUT creative cloud; it's included with CC.
I think.ideaist - Adobe is a rip-off on iPad. Yes if you have a CC subscription and if it's free then all good. But the standalone price is too much considering Affinity priceNBQ00
- It's pure fucking garbage. Workflow is broken, layers are shit, hardly any tools, and the brushes lag like fuck. Buy Procreate or Art Studio Pro instead.face_melter
- Have you tried it? From what I've seen in the Adobe Max Demo it doesn't look that bad.NBQ00
- I've NOT tried it; it seems @face_melter has and (tell me if i'm wrong) did NOT enjoy it!
I'm anxiously awaiting illustrator, especially since...ideaist - ...https://www.engad...

Illustrator for iPad coming in 2020: https://www.cultofmac.com/660328…
- This is the only positive news on the planet right now; "2020" is unnerving. Affinity Designer will do in the meantime, eh?ideaist

Photoshop for iPad should be released soon: https://9to5mac.com/2019/10/17/p…
- Has anyone been invited to the beta?ideaist
- "... with missing features" LOL - get a surface with windows, BOOM full CC on a tablet.zarkonite
- That's not the same. This is a real tablet/ MOBILE OS. Adobe will update the missing features later. You could just use Affinity too, very powerfulNBQ00
- Right, it's not a computer. A Surface can be a tablet AND a computer. Still amazed how many sacrifice so much for the Apple name.formed
- The iPadOS is actually very powerful now. And feels more fresh than macOS or Windows. Different approach.NBQ00
- So it's been marginally close to a real OS for a few months and I'm supposed to jump for joy? It'll slide back in their mind and fallback like all their otherzarkonite
- products. I don't understand why professionals put up with this crap, you're less productive 50% of the time and now they can barely catch up when they update.zarkonite
- ^ Agreed. I never understood, but then again I don't get waiting in line for a phone, either, or paying more for less, for that matter.formed

After being on iPad Pro / iPad OS only for like a month (at home that is, not at work) I must say that macOS and desktop OS' in general now feel a bit dated compared to a fluid next-gen OS like iPad OS.
I just wish the iPad Pro was available in a elongated 16:9 15'' inch version or something like that with some more screen space.
The A12 chip is super fast and I can't believe this thing has only 4GB Ram, because you don't notice it. Never experienced any beach-ball like moments.
Sometimes on a fast Mac I got spinning beachballs while doing simple stuff.

One more. Shapr seems to be a neat 3D app for iPad Pro, especially for conceptioning 3D designs.

Lightroom CC is really good, i use it with an SD dongle for my ipad Pro.
There's also great built-in tutorials by photographers that take you through step by step their pictures and process.
There are loads of videos on youtube about work flows and tips.

I got a 12.9"
Stop it Frankie!
I got a 12.9" pro recently and although not software I thought I'd share the case I've bought to go with it:

I've read poor things about the Apple case with keyboard so I shopped around and settled on this one. For 55 notes, I'd recommend it. It's a little heavier that the Apple one, but the protection is excellent, the keyboard is good to use and I really like the way it twists back on itself to go into table mode. Also, and I think this is vital for any case, it provides a safe storage port for your pencil.
I should say, although the images in the product description show the inside which make is all look very shiny, the outside is actually a soft-touch matt finish. It looks great right now but it will probably be a finger print magnifier.
- I have the Smart Folio from Apple. It's good, compact, sleek. But that also means you only have 2 screen-position modes and no key backlighting.NBQ00
- Yep, thet're a couple of the things I'd read about it. I'm working on a graphic novel at the mo so I wanted to something that would be good for...Wolfboy
- ...writing & drawing. So the totally adjustable position when it's in tablet form is important.Wolfboy
- Wow that makes it look like a real laptopyuekit

I just picked up the 11" iPad Pro for this very purpose. I downloaded Procreate and Affinity. Noticing its quite powerful as I'm starting to dig into it. A bit of a learning curve though with gestures and finding where tools are.
The iPad will really open up when the new OS comes out. Looking forward to that.
Hoping we'll be able to use figma or sketch on the iPad too.
- I wonder how figma or sketch will handle font management on the iPad. Do you have a font manager rn?zarkonite
- Custom Fonts can be installed for use across the system, perfect for creating beautiful documents on iPad. Fonts from boutique and major vendors such as Adobe.ideaist

- Con't: "..., DynaComware, Monotype, Morisawa and Founder will be available on the App Store."ideaist
- RightFont 5 creator has an iOS version: https://apps.apple.c…. Haven't tried it yet...ideaist
- Nice, thanks for the info.zarkonite

I've been using Procreate a lot and love it. Really natural feel, best of the ipad apps i've used.
