Which App? The iPad Photo Editing Showdown

Did I miss any apps? What are your recommendations?

What about Snapseed?

Do you have any screen protector on your iPad?

audio is low bro

hi Aaron, i have a few pictures i was wondering if you could edit them for me. could you please let me know? :)

I learned editing on Lightroom mobile.
Lightroom is much better but the price is 🤒

Jesus people the audio is not that bad. Ppl are so spoiled and picky these days.

i would like to see an updated review in 2022, darkroom has now masking tools and many more features since a few months ago, im checking some reviews to see if its worth an 80 buck one time purchase but can’t decide yet

You only reviewed one app…what the fuck lol

pls someone tell me the intro song 🥲🥲

I hate the Adobe approach for subscribers only. Give me the option to buy an app completely and use it and that is it and make some system that when you have new futures charge for update whoever won't new futures he will pay and update those who do not need a new future or will continue using his app like normal why you are pushing people to pay monthly or yearly

Thank you for a great video and comparing the apps. Since you made this video Darkroom has been upgraded with some Ai masking tools which work great. It makes darkroom even closer to Lightroom. So I find myself using Darkroom more these days.

CAN YOU STOP TALKING JESUS.CHRIS

i cant hear you ...

Tried them all, after giving up LR. None came close to the FULL, cross platform functionality (mac, Windows, iPad, iPhone, and web) of the Adobe package. So went back to LR, and I do not regret it. $9.99 per month is not bad, given all you get from the Adobe photography plan.

Thank you for an easy to follow review.of these apps. I used to use Picasa and Windows Movie Maker. They were so intuitive for me! I had to step away from editing in 2008 and now I am struggling to find the tools I liked. For instance, erasing an area in a photo, finding unique borders, etc. Is there some app that is simiilar to Picasa? Thanks

For your Pixelmator photo portion of the review, you may want to talk about the ML (Machine Learning) button that does good chunk of the photo correction for you then you can add some final refinements on top of that. I have used ML a lot and helps with corrections significantly

Too many things are subscription-based these days.
I immediately discount them no matter how good they are.
When you have amazing software such as the Affinity suite as a one-time purchase everything else just seems like a money-grab.

In Lr you can select the settings you want to copy then select all the files you want to paste in, i do it with all my imported files.
About Darkroom i don't understand why supports only uncompressed raw files but not compressed.

Do you know if it is possible to select and rate the images stored on an external HDD or SD card on the iPad, without having to import them to the iPad's memory?

Can hardly hear this video… is it just me?

Super nice video mate! Thanks!

wow the video volume is so low, I can't even hear it clearly with my speaker turned on max

“If I want to compare the ratings of these apps, check the conversion chart in the back”…. what does that even mean?

Bro cant hear your voice and when i turn the volume up, your intro music is too loud

Can u pls invest in a mic, thanks

Dark room doesn’t have selective editing or healing

can you do an update of pixelmator photo?

LR CC sucks because of cloud storage. I don’t want everything on the cloud, and I want full rez images saved locally. Adobe lost me when they started doing this shut and making it hard to opt out of cloud storage.

Great video! Chicago native here...( I “liked &subscribed” ) ha
Aaron
I’m pretty new to photo editing. I’m looking to buy an iPad Pro soon. Was wondering what you would suggest would be the best app for airbrushing photos of people? Reshaping the subjects and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles...and all that.
Thanks Gary

Hey, love your video. Excellent info, thanks.
Your voice sounds a bit quite 🙊 make me connect my headphones.

Still great content ✨🙌🏼

I want your iPad wallpaper, could you share, please?

Nice vid

Any app similar to Photoshop Touch? I had the app in my android now I got an Iphone but sadly the app is not in the appstore anymore... and it was really easy to use for what I needed

Why would you need photo editing app without a brush? its just useless What about polarr ?

Dude you are using Peter muckinons intro music what

Boring editing xplaintion, show how u do editing😏do less talking 😎

Does darkroom have a smoothing effect option for videos?

Amazing post. Let's see a Photoshop and Affinity Photo comparison next please.

The plane train Superman reference was enough for me to subscribe. Lmao

Is it me or does he need a louder microphone...my volume was all the way up and was still hard to hear

The only reason why I haven’t left the lightroom is because of the select tool. It’s the only editing app out of these three that has that. It gives you total control of the colors in the photo post production when you have less control pre production. Downside is, it’s really laggy when you use it (using ipad pro 2020) and I would have jumped ship already if there’s another app that had that it.

Fix your audio levels

In just 4 months darkroom became 50$ for owned version

I have a question I'm having trouble getting the answer to. If I start editing a photo that's on a external source in Lightroom on an iPad, does the program automatically copy the image to the internal drive? This is really important to me. One of the hallmarks of any good media editing program is media management. I'm mostly a film editor. I edit on Avid Media Composer. None of my media are on the internal drive. Always on a external (sometimes a client's) drive. It's part of media management. I really don't want to have 3 or 4 copies of my media. One and a backup is fine thank you.

What’s the name of the application

Thx for your video, I would like to love pixelmator but as almost all the app they have for me a problem with shadow recovery, if you take Lightroom and pixel darkroom and you just use the slider of shadow you will see that so different than Lightroom look like luminosity or exposition for landscape photographer it s impossible. The only 2 app can do the job properly is Lightroom and affinity. I would like pixelmator update this.

Thanks1 nice one

A well-considered introduction and overview of each app... timely as yesterday I bought an iPad mini 4 and was keen to see what I can do with this little critter!
Mainly I was looking at on-holiday selections and basic editing-only apps for material that goes in my brother's blog each night - so not much to ask.
I am very likely to end up using Adobe as I am very comfortable with their products... My home setup is RAW into LightRoom CC on desktop and I will have a look at the mobile version of that and also have a look at Photoshop Fix too - none of these options will cost me anything as they are included in my plan... The only thing I have concerns about is exporting edited images (back on the SD card, if possible) to transfer to my brother's blog device...
Anyway lots to think about - thank you very much, Aaron!
