TheGreatBuzz Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Mind if I highjack this thread a bit for hardware/software advice?  Need some experience with Apple products and Adobe photo products.  Short version is I’ve been doing PAO work for my command for a while.  I was using all personal equipment and GIMP on my PC for any editing.  I got my command to actually buy equipment for me and I went a little nuts expecting it to get chopped down.  Well it didn’t so now we have a Nikon D750, 4-5 lens, MacBook Pro, Adobe suite, etc.  Then I went and bought myself a new IPad Pro a few days ago and used my work login to download all the Adobe stuff (I was approved to as long as I’m not using it to make money).  I’ve watched some videos and done the tutorials on the different programs (Photoshop on IPad doesn’t support RAW, WTF???).  My biggest issue is now trying to figure out how to use Creative Cloud to move photos back and forth from laptop to tablet, open files in the dozen different apps Adobe seems to have, and how to convert RAW to whatever the hell PS on a tablet will support.  And any other pointers someone may have.   I have no experience in Apple or Photoshop so help is appreciated.

Here are a couple that i shot!   Wow!! Very nice. I have an Epson photo printer that prints up 17 inches if I need bigger than that I have access through my site to professional printers at low prices which I use when I sell photos. I have used Costco before a few years ago and the use the same type of Epson I used just a bigger version and it came out great. I love the middle one!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 @TheGreatBuzz,I won't be much here for ya on this one. Sorry in advance. While I've used an IMac and now an older Macbook pro for all of my digital darkroom work over the past 12 years,(when I first went to Mac),I don't have photoshop. I primarily use Lightroom,Nik,and occasionally Photomatix. I do have a "Photoshop" alternative called Affinity Photo but don't use it as much as I should,(great for panoramics and focal stacking). Cool that you have all that stuff though.  I primarily use BayPhoto out of California through my website since the Camera shop that did all my printing before closed its doors.  Costco isn't my favorite,(here anyway). My old Epson is just about history,but in a pinch I can get my stepmom to print some stuff for me. She has one of those commercial grade Epsons and the results we got were outstanding. Note: For those times when I do feel like putting a frame around one of my pics,I make my own. The garage shop should be done in a month or so and I'll get in to that more.   Oh yeah.   3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure because I avoid tablets at all costs, but have you tried converting them in Photoshop to Photoshop raw? I use CS 6 so that may have changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went for sunset and saw two couples getting married and some local dudes trying to snorkel and spearfish. The waves were too choppy with the rocks...plus even after 20 years the Pacific is still freezing to me.  One more from the trip...Ululani's "No Ka 'Oi" shave ice (combo is liliko'i, mango, and coconut).      Edited December 27, 2019 by The Evil Genius 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
