![]() ![]() After a tiring day in the field, are you will to spend another hour or so depending upon the number of pictures shot transferring those files for backup? SSD transfer rates are much higher than Hard Drive rates. How fast do you want the file transfer & backup to be done. How many days will you spending away from your home computer while traveling?Ĥ. I typically shoot around 150 to 200 shots/day (sometimes even more) in the field which amounts to around 10 to 15 GB of file size transfer.ģ. Depending on your camera & the file sizes of each photo generated, how many pictures do you think you might upload per day. How important are your photos to you & how much are you willing to spend for backup?Ģ. And as Hut suggested you can get ta 5TB Western Digital My Passport Drive with USB-C port (recently released) to directly connect to your iPad for backup.ġ. Lightroom does work on the iPad but will limited capabilities. So even an 11" iPad Pro 512GB will cost you around $1099 and an iPad Pro 1TB will set you back by $1299. You could use an iPad instead of a laptop but you need to get the iPad Pro with Thunderbolt 3 port. That process is sometimes slow depending on the internet connection and the number of photos being uploaded. Also if I get a good internet connection, I upload my pictures shot to my home NAS Drive. Then I backup the same on my OWC Envoy Pro EX Thunderbolt 3 external 2TB SSD for safety. While traveling I mainly use my Macbook Pro 13" (2TB SSD) to download pictures on my laptop first. I know there are folks who use the iPad exclusively…and they're not all photo folks, Frederico Viticci of the Mac tech press works almost exclusively on an iPad Pro large size and runs his business on it…but I've always found that the iPad is simply harder to use for actual work as the single app at a time (improved by split view and some of the goodies in later OS and hardware versions) than the laptop so since I'm going to have the laptop anyway I just stick with what works for me. Blogging on the laptop is easier with MarsEdit than doing it on the laptop via the email posting trick…although for a shorter trip I transfer only the ones I want to post to the iPad. ![]() I would likely carry my laptop with me regardless if the trip was longer than just a couple of days anyway…and in that case the extra capability in LR on the laptop is worth it…for a shorter trip I have carried just my iPad but in that case I just don't process much until I get back. I keep the laptop catalog synced with the iMac one as far as keywords and plugins go and use a similar file structure on each so when I get home it's a pretty easy export/import then delete the images from the laptop catalog once they're imported and backed up so it's ready for the next trip. That's why I stick with my laptop for traveling…using a separate catalog on the laptop which gets exported and imported to the master catalog on the iMac when I get home. I can make do with the iPad version but the real problems for me are lack of storage space on the iPad and lack of internet bandwidth in most places to adequately manage travel usage. ![]() Yeah…I've been on the photo plan for 3-4 years at least myself and have used both the LR Classic version on the Mac and the cloud version on the iPad…and while you can get things done on the iPad it's capabilities are still behind what Classic version can do, then add in plugins like Luminar or SnapHeal or wherever else you might like and that you don't get in the cloud version. ![]()
