As a photo enthusiast, I was excited to learn about Affinity Photo's arrival on the iPad. The cross-platform program has gained popularity among photographers and designers for its efficient performance and user-friendly interface. With the iPad version slated for a $30 list price, with a $10 discount for early adopters, it's an attractive option for those looking to edit photos on-the-go.

One of the key benefits of Affinity Photo on the iPad is its hardware acceleration. This means that the program can render effects like filters in real-time, without slowing down your tablet's performance. Serif, the developer behind Affinity Photo, has optimized the app to run smoothly on the iPad's smaller processor.

As a user who has invested in the new iPad Pro with hover capabilities, I was initially excited about the prospect of using Affinity Photo on my device. However, after trying it out, I realized that it doesn't quite live up to my expectations without some minor quirks and lag. Nevertheless, I appreciate the effort put into updating the interface to migrate tools over to a touch-friendly design.

Despite its limitations, Affinity Photo on the iPad is an impressive achievement. The program's ability to bridge the gap between tablet and laptop functionality makes it an excellent option for those who want to edit photos without sacrificing performance. With the 11-inch iPad Pro being a great tablet in its own right, this software trick effectively turns it into a shockingly good computer.

Overall, Affinity Photo on the iPad is a must-try for any photo enthusiast or designer looking to take their mobile editing experience to the next level. With its efficient performance and user-friendly interface, it's an excellent addition to the iPad ecosystem.
