Websites and printed products rely on photography. I may need to set up still life photos of food products in a shooting tent, or any kind of package products, or I may photograph events, or building interiors/exteriors for signage mockups, or people interacting with each other, or people headshots, or emergency response set-ups for the American Red Cross during the aftermath of 9/11. Photo editing & cullingĪs a graphic designer, I do a lot of photography too. So again… not really possible on an iPad Pro. Adobe AfterEffects and all of those 3D programs are great for this too. Often in web design or electronic environmental design displays or kiosks or social media posts, I’ll want to create some animations to help display the information. Affinity Designer might be one exception, but still… What about 3D animation/design programs like Maya, Lightwave, Blender, Dimensions, etc.? Could I design 3D exhibit mockups, environmental design sculptures, product packaging, or signage on an iPad? Not likely, and certainly not easily.
Lack of my preferred appsīesides the big ones like Adobe CC, none of the other high-end design programs that I normally use or would ever want to use are available on an iPad. None of that is remotely possible in any iPad graphics apps that I’ve seen so far. I use global regular expression print programming styles to create formatting rules for typography across documents. I create data merge templates that interact with database tables for creating automated print layouts all the time. We switched from QuarkExpress to InDesign around the turn of the century and InDesign has been essential in the Graphic Design business for just about anything print-related. I have fonts from the ’80s that still work on macOS and Windows, but getting them into an iPad is not an easy thing to do. It’s not easy to get your font collection into an iPad. No InDesign or decent Typography design for that matter Forget about anything advanced like channel operations or custom plug-ins. There are so many features missing! It doesn’t even have the same menus. When it was released every article about it had the “Adobe brings real Photoshop to iPad” headline, and then in the first paragraph explained that it was not the real Photoshop and only had a limited subset of features compared to the Photoshop version that one would normally use on macOS and Windows. Photoshop on iPad isn’t real PhotoshopĪ couple of years ago, there was a lot of hype about Adobe bringing the real Adobe Photoshop to the iPad.
#Drawing stylus for macbook pro software
But why? I guess it might be okay for drawing since it’s thin and light and you can buy a stylus for it, but there are so many other pen-computing options available, and there are so many other aspects of graphic design that software available for the iPad seriously fails at. I hear some graphic designers have started using an iPad for creative work.
