A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Should you begin to utilize lightroom as a novice/intermediate photographer? Do you need a laptop/iPad for its fullest potential? (alien.top)

Two part question here, i’ve been on and off photography for about 8-10 years and while i don’t know everything and anything about my camera, everything about composition and editing, I feel i know enough to edit photos the way i like and making them decent compositions. at this point, should i start thinking about investing into a laptop/iPad and lightroom rather than relying on the free portions of editing apps to create better edits?

I use LR on my iPad Pro pretty successfully. I’m sure there’s limitations, but so far in my workflow/skillset/knowledge level so far, I haven’t encountered many. Having the Apple Pencil for playing with masks is handy. If you’ve got the iPad already, it’s not a bad thought, but if you’re going full pro, you might want more horsepower and the full desktop like others have recommended. That said, I’ve produced plenty of edited photos on LR on my iPad that have been proud of and others have enjoyed without issue.
