Definitely a step toward making iPadOS a desktop-class operating system.Īnother thing I do with frequency is video calls. Finding the photos in the Files app was perfectly easy to do, and I’m glad that Apple has enabled support for external drives in iPadOS.

Maybe I should have a look at the Mac version of Pixelmator Pro to get a better comparison. It doesn’t have the same level of features as Luminar does, but at a pinch, it is okay. Instead, I purchased Pixelmator Pro for the iPad. However I do hope they seize this opportunity soon. As it stands, Luminar and Skylum Software have yet to create an iPad version of their applications. On my MacBook Pro, I use LuminarAI as my primary photo editing and batch processing software. The first challenge was a matter of photo editing. I already had peripherals from my Mac, so I didn’t need to purchase additional accessories to do this challenge. I thought, ‘what if I put my MacBook Pro away for a week or so, and use my 2020 iPad Pro 11' as a desktop?’ So for the past week or so, I have been using my iPad solely as my desktop machine. All these changes got me quite interested. These include improved external keyboard and mouse support, and turning the iPad version of Safari into a desktop-class browser. Recently however, Apple has made various changes to the iPad to make it operate in a fashion not unlike a Mac. It straddles a middle ground between the Mac and the iPhone. I have always been interested in the future utility of the iPad.
