Oh, is it possible that nobody asked for an iPadOS version of PureRaw yet ?
Well, since the iPad Pros and Macs now share the same processors (Mx) there is no reason not to have the same tools for “on the go” work
Let’s smash the concurence and bring this state of the art tool to our mobile devices too.
I’d be keen on iPadPro versions of PhotoLab or PureRaw. Adobe, Capture One have managed it in some measure, and Affinity, a small software house, has managed an amazing port to the iPad, so why not DXO?
Seconding the idea. PureRaw doesn’t seem to be very RAM hungry so I don’t see a reason why it cant be ported. AFAIK neural engine on modern iPads is already much more powerful than on eg M1 Macs on which PureRaw works great.
MeToo. Yes, PureRaw for iPad is useful especially for photographs who are traveling with their iPads instead of heavier notebooks.
There might be no need for PhotoLab, but PureRaw is a totally other story.
And – I am keen to see support for Canon’s new (compressed) raw format .CR3.
I would love Pure Raw for iPad. It’s the only thing that is keeping me from having an iPad workflow. I have a Mac mini for At home, so iPad Pro is my on-the-go device. When traveling I could Pure Raw my images and edit in Lightroom all on the iPad. There are even good third party apps for hdr, pano, and focus merging. I really don’t want to have to get laptop.
Update: I’ve just used an app called Jump Desktop on my iPad Pro to remote access my Mac Mini to use Pure Raw while on the go. First, I loaded my raws into a folder in iCloud. Then when connected to the Mac, in PR6 I loaded the images from the iCloud folder, selected a bunch of images to process in batch (would be easy enough to do a single images at time with process w/ preview, but I haven’t tried that yet). My batch processing preset had the option to save the processed image back to the original folder but in a subfolder. After processing was done it took several minutes for the processed files to load into the iCloud folder but I was able then able to load them into Lightroom Mobile from that folder on the iPad.
It was an okay experience. Really the only annoying thing was scrolling up and down in the lightbox. Jump doesn’t have the best controls via touch/pen to do that. I’m going to see if I can connect a mouse to better control it. I also need to see how well I can view the denoising results in the preview window on the iPad screen (it basically fills my entire 27” monitor onto the 11” iPad screen).
I think PureRAW on iPadOS would make a lot of sense now that the M-series iPads are powerful enough to handle heavier RAW workflows. A lot of photographers already use the iPad as their main travel editing setup, so having DeepPRIME processing directly on-device would be a huge quality-of-life improvement.
