Anyone else have the Apple folio and the cheap crimped edges are coming apart? I can’t believe a $150+ Apple product would be built like a shitty Trapper Keeper and last me only a year.
So anyway, i guess i’m shopping for a new keyboard now.

Damn, I had no idea how powerful Garage Band is on the iPad Pro. I thought it was just a little sound app with few options but holy moly this is an amazing and complex tool with many sampling options and a lot of instruments to sample and do effects with as well as record your own stuff and sample into.

Have been using Fresco for storyboarding, actually works really well.
Drawing tools and UI/ux and nicer than Procreate for storyboarding level sketching.
Love the fact I can quickly send it to desktop illustrator/photoshop.
- Agree, Fresco is nice and the best if you're already living in Adobistannb
- Got it installed on my Surface ;) yes, niceOBBTKN
- Have you tried illustrator yet? I’m liking it so farGnash
- yes, to illy, need to spend more time on it.shapesalad

Being able to use full Figma in the browser... game changer!
Now I just need to figure out how to use Figma with fonts.

Trying to find a route for proper font management between:
RightFont 5 (MacOS)
https://rightfontapp.com&
RightFont (iOS/iPadOS)
https://apps.apple.com/app/right…Anyone find a "silver bullet" for font management yet on iPadOS?
- That seems nice. The other option is Adobe Creative Cloud app & fonts.NBQ00
- Yeah, i like the idea of using my own library (perhaps NOT all of my type library is "legally obtained"...)
Adobe's catalog seems quite limited to me.ideaist - And adobe cc fonts only works within the adobe ecosystem. Need one that allows access to all, like suitcase does on desktopGnash
- Also @Gnash's point.ideaist
- Quickly read this as "trying to find a paper route.."stoplying

- This isn't the iPad product review thread, thanks.nb
- Nice keyboard.Gnash
- Because it could be useful for design(ers)NBQ00
- I use my Bluetooth keyboard with my iPad - the addition of a track pad would make a big differenceGnash
- But it looks like this thing doesn’t offer much edge protectionGnash
- We have the initial "Smart Keyboard Folio". I think it's great, BUT fuck these things are pricey.
This one is CAD $449.00!ideaist - iPad Pro + Smart Keys + Apple Pencil is a true dream come true for design research, conceptual stuff, planning, drawing, writing, and much more. Worth it.nb

The work of my wife, BUT:
All done on iPad Pro 12.9", Apple Pencil, keyboard/case AND Procreate.
Published (locally) by In The Hills magazine: https://www.inthehills.ca/2020/0….
Super proud AND it's her first illustration project (on iPad) AND her first written (on iPad), published article.

- Nice !Gnash
- I just ordered a paperlike screen protector. It’s supposed to mimic the feel of drawing on paper. I just can’t get used to the slippery screenGnash
- https://paperlike.co…Gnash
- I haven't installed my "Paper Like" screen film yet, do you like it Gnash?utopian
- nice illustrationsutopian
- SkillllllsPhanLo
- I haven’t received it yet. But I’m optimisticGnash
- Awesome work! Your wife has talent!Smurf
- These are beautifulSlashPeckham
- Gnash, it’s the main reason I haven’t bought an iPad again, but if the paper screen works I’ll probably pull the trigger._niko
- That’s great, wow.NBQ00
- +helloeatbreathedrive
- That's nice work. @Gnash, let us know how you get on with the screen protector, that's a great idea if it works well.Wolfboy
- nice!milfhunter
- lots of penis shaped objects that your wife paintsmekk
- (˵ ͡⚆ ͜ʖ ͡⚆˵)mekk
- Where do you see a penis like form ?i_was
- shrooms have something penissy to memekk
- You guys are fantastic; thank you for all relevant AND irrelevant comments.
xoideaist - Nice, how long did it take her in total?Maaku
- @Maaku She's saying "30-40 hours" give-or-take. Some learning curve in Procreate. She was paid $2000 for writing/illustrating... which is okay AND again learning.ideaist
- Best way of learning :)Maaku

anybody using affinity designer on the iPad? Wondering if I can open/edit/save .ai files. Need to edit some illy files on-the-go but will need to open again in illy.

Really powerful.
Procreate 5 for iPad Brings New Animation Assist, Brush Studio, Color Harmony, and More: https://www.macrumors.com/2019/1…
- ideaist1
- $10- a month, is 4 real?utopian
- I think that is WITHOUT creative cloud; it's included with CC.
I think.ideaist - Adobe is a rip-off on iPad. Yes if you have a CC subscription and if it's free then all good. But the standalone price is too much considering Affinity priceNBQ00
- It's pure fucking garbage. Workflow is broken, layers are shit, hardly any tools, and the brushes lag like fuck. Buy Procreate or Art Studio Pro instead.face_melter
- Have you tried it? From what I've seen in the Adobe Max Demo it doesn't look that bad.NBQ00
- I've NOT tried it; it seems @face_melter has and (tell me if i'm wrong) did NOT enjoy it!
I'm anxiously awaiting illustrator, especially since...ideaist - ...https://www.engad...
If you're in CC again, you're good. If not, you're fucked.ideaist

Adobe Fresco App comings soon.

Photoshop for iPad should be released soon: https://9to5mac.com/2019/10/17/p…
- Has anyone been invited to the beta?ideaist
- "... with missing features" LOL - get a surface with windows, BOOM full CC on a tablet.zarkonite
- That's not the same. This is a real tablet/ MOBILE OS. Adobe will update the missing features later. You could just use Affinity too, very powerfulNBQ00
- Right, it's not a computer. A Surface can be a tablet AND a computer. Still amazed how many sacrifice so much for the Apple name.formed
- The iPadOS is actually very powerful now. And feels more fresh than macOS or Windows. Different approach.NBQ00
- So it's been marginally close to a real OS for a few months and I'm supposed to jump for joy? It'll slide back in their mind and fallback like all their otherzarkonite
- products. I don't understand why professionals put up with this crap, you're less productive 50% of the time and now they can barely catch up when they update.zarkonite
- ^ Agreed. I never understood, but then again I don't get waiting in line for a phone, either, or paying more for less, for that matter.formed

Illustrator for iPad coming in 2020: https://www.cultofmac.com/660328…
- This is the only positive news on the planet right now; "2020" is unnerving. Affinity Designer will do in the meantime, eh?ideaist

One more. Shapr seems to be a neat 3D app for iPad Pro, especially for conceptioning 3D designs.

I got a 12.9"
Stop it Frankie!
I got a 12.9" pro recently and although not software I thought I'd share the case I've bought to go with it:
https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Backl…
I've read poor things about the Apple case with keyboard so I shopped around and settled on this one. For 55 notes, I'd recommend it. It's a little heavier that the Apple one, but the protection is excellent, the keyboard is good to use and I really like the way it twists back on itself to go into table mode. Also, and I think this is vital for any case, it provides a safe storage port for your pencil.
I should say, although the images in the product description show the inside which make is all look very shiny, the outside is actually a soft-touch matt finish. It looks great right now but it will probably be a finger print magnifier.
- I have the Smart Folio from Apple. It's good, compact, sleek. But that also means you only have 2 screen-position modes and no key backlighting.NBQ00
- Yep, thet're a couple of the things I'd read about it. I'm working on a graphic novel at the mo so I wanted to something that would be good for...Wolfboy
- ...writing & drawing. So the totally adjustable position when it's in tablet form is important.Wolfboy
- Wow that makes it look like a real laptopyuekit

Lightroom CC is really good, i use it with an SD dongle for my ipad Pro.
There's also great built-in tutorials by photographers that take you through step by step their pictures and process.
There are loads of videos on youtube about work flows and tips.
