Hi all
Long time member but other hobbies have interrupted my photography for some time now, so I’ve been away for a while.
Currently, I have an old W10 desktop and an IPad pro. I have an ‘old’ Lightroom licence, version 6, which is loaded on the windows machine. I think this was the last LR version which you could buy without need for ongoing subscriptions. It doesn’t recognise my Sony RAW files but DNG sorts that. But I do know it doesn’t offer features such as de-haze, etc.
I am looking to kick start my image editing - it’s in a shocking state at the moment - motor racing, family and holiday photos from years ago are still sitting on the hard drive; mainly RAWs. I have literally thousands of photos and I’m totally overwhelmed. Sadly, almost to the point where part of me thinks it’s not even worth trying. How sad is that?
To her credit, my wife has regularly taken jpegs from the main Pc to put on her small Ipad, with just some cropping to fit but not much else.
I am in need of some help, please, to reignite the enthusiasm that was once there.
Mainly for health reasons, sitting at my desk in front of the main PC for hours on end isn’t the answer here, although I’m Ok sitting there for an hour or so.
I’m in need of a device/workflow, etc to enable me to carry out the majority of my quick edits/deletes, etc sitting in the lounge, leaving the main Pc for the more detailed work.
There isn‘t a laptop in the house with an IPS screen, but I do have a v2 IPad Pro (lightning port) and v1 pencil. I did load LR onto the IPad about three years ago but never used it.
I’m not a cheapskate but am careful with money, so if part of the answer ends up being a new device or a subscription, then I’m OK with that.
Quite honestly, I don’t know which way to turn and as I get older, choices seem to become even more overwhelming.
I have a basic idea to try using the Ipad and pencil for basic edits but even before starting, I find myself confused by the number of LR variants.
I see LR for Ipad, LR mobile. LR, LR CC, LR classic.
Wood for the trees or what!!
Would any fellow members who use the Ipad and LR kindly help by telling me;
Which version of LR do I need on the Ipad?
Is any part of this free?
Is it possible to run this alongside my PC version of LR and move images between the 2 devices?
If yes, is it an easy process or cumbersome?
I realise that asking questions such as these may give the impression that I haven’t bothered to do any research, but nothing could be further from the truth. I’ve read articles, forum posts and watched YT videos. I’m still totally confused.
Any help much appreciated- even if it’s along the lines of move away from LR and switch to something else.
Thank you all.
