Thank you for your wonderful showing of Affinity Photo for the Ipad, I will be purchasing since I do have Affinity Designer, and the festival looks awesome! Nice work!

This really isn't anything that couldn't be done in SnapSeed, to be honest with you. That isn't a knock on your photo/work etc.. This is more an issue with the fact that Affinity on both the iPad and the desktop version have really crappy RAW decoding algorithms. I personally wouldn't touch RAW processing with Affinity with a 50' pole. Where Affinity shines, is in the layers options. Cloning, stamping, skin retouching, liquid etc... Also, that's not even mentioning that it's a destructive workflow. Plus the fact that there's no way to start editing on the iPad, and have it sync to your desktop version without the introduction of iCloud. Maybe if iCloud wasn't so clunky, it would be better in that it wouldn't have to take up disk space on your main computer. You touched on the amount of latitude you have with Jpg files, and I agree with you in that you can have some.. .But if we're talking about a professional shoot, there's no way you're going to mess with jpgs and not be sure. Affinity has terrible highlight and shadow recovery, and not so great contrast. Sharpening is meh, and curves are fine, sort of. So while I agree with the basic premise that you can do a lot with AP on an iPad, I also think that most people aren't going to enter into what is a seemingly professional workflow, with layers etc.. And if that is the case, then apps like SnapSeed or Darkroom are just as great. If SnapSeed had more precise cloning and skin retouching tools, then it would be a no brainer.

+Doug B. You left a similar reply on a past video and again I totally disagree with you saying that there raw editing is crap. It may not be as powerful as photoshop but it's still strong and it's version 1, it's only going to get better. The other thing thing I disagree with is how you say you can't start your project on iPad and then go to the computer. Even if you start on the iPad with no iCloud available at the time once you get to your studio & a computer... I mean you don't have wifi in your studio either?? You can at that point sync it to iCloud or airdrop it to the computer. Again with the last paragraph, you have an opinion that's cool I don't personally agree with it but I will say this, I have never done a professional shoot where they want the photos on the spot so really it's just not a problem at all. With that said I think even at a professional event being able to edit a few photos is an option but for most pro jobs even if I had my full studio there set up you'd be killing your self shooting and editing full shoots in a day. This is more like your at an event like a music festival and you want nice pictures going up on your FB & Instagram without using there filters and now you have the ability to edit raw on the go. Oh last thing you say it's a destructive workflow but it's not. All of the filters are non destructive adjustment layers. Thanks for the comment regardless even though I disagree with most of it. Everyone is entitled to there opinions.
