The iPad pro is an device with a lot of cpu power, with the pencil you can edit photos direct on the display and with iOS 12 is it easy (first time useable) to import RAW data fast.
The big advantage of an DxO PL iOS version in my opinion are the very good automatic working tools, with manual controls.
I see an tendency, that more photographers using an iPad to do every day edits more and more.
Greetings,
My vote is no. The only thing DxO needs to be focused on is making the Windows and Mac versions of its software the best they can be.
Remember, this company recently filed for re-org. Its not time to splinter its resources or direction. Once they have stabilized and claimed additional market share, this idea can be revisited.
Re-Org time is also time to think about new things and ways.
Where I want as company to stay in some years? - not tomorrow, maybe in 3 years…
On Win/Mac market are a lot of competitors and a new positioning would be not easy.
I thing the iOS market for digital imaging is gowing in next years and at this time it gives only some competitors. So I see an high potential for DxO in this market.
DxO has outstanding technology to do automatic corrections with some klicks/taps and additional the famous U-Points…
But, I agree with you, DxO must stay again on a stable base for doing new things.
Still no iOS version. Meanwhile Adobe’s Enhance feature maintains color on skin tones better than DXO PR. While it runs a lot slower (on a Mac), Adobe needs to get its bugs ironed out with Apple (neural engine). I suspect after that it will be just as quick.
The world is changing. You either keep up or don’t participate.
There are about 100+ employees in DxO.
Adobes PS team is way larger than the whole DxO. If you have PS you can do an About photoshop and count the names.

And many of those develop and create their own raw processing algoritms and camera body and lens profiles?
Or do they only rely on the OS native raw codecs which they call upon?
You are asking or wishing for something - that would be great to have - but which pretty much lack everything which makes the DxO suite unique.
