Who uses Adobe Photoshop or Bridge on an iPad?

The reason for my question is that I have to replace my pc. However, I hardly use my pc because I use my iPad or a laptop. The only time I use a pc is when I want to use photoshop. Today I walked into the apple store and saw the new iPad Pro with the magic pen and I wondered if this could be an alternative to a new pc?

Well Affinity for iPad gets great reviews, so if PS is no good you could use that:

Maybe try the desktop version (free trial) to see how you like Affiniity first.

Seconded. Affinity is an extremely capable piece of software.

To get an idea of what can be done on the iPad version check out Bethany Acorn on youtube.... (nb, really, it’s not a porn site!)

It sounds like the beta for full Photoshop on the iPad has started.

The things that are important to me for an editing machine are a big, calibratable screen and lots of storage space, so I will be sticking to my iMac,

I use Affinity Photo & Designer. One time purchase, none of this subscription crap. Works great on iPad too (latest edition of Pro in my case)
