Anyone using Astropad ?

I would like to know about your experience on using this app.

I have just bought an iPad Pro and the idea seems tempting... very !

Thank you ! :)

Never heard of it, but I also have an iPad I bought for attaching my 3D Structure™ scanner. I should be using it more and was thinking of loading it with mobile Lightroom, (which I don't yet use) and working with picture on the go.

This app seems to have potential. Are you going to review it for us?

Perhaps Asher.

I have been very attracted by the power of using it with Photoshop while using the brushes to enhance certain areas.

Because the large screen is very good for evaluation... I guess. :)

And you must have the program installed while with Astropad the program is in the computer.

Am I wrong ?

I received Astropad recently and wrote a review for it (bottom of page).

The main reasons you would use this are, you can't afford a Cintiq and you want to interact with Mac desktop-only apps (the main one being Photoshop) on an iPad (or even iPhone) that you already own.

You can play with the iPhone version for free (desktop+mobile versions); the tablet version costs $30 (Mac host version is still free).

Mike. I almost forgot to drop you a line about your post...

Thank you for the tip. I have been there and read it carefully but now, I will have to try it.

A couple of years ago I bought a Sintic which I do not use anymore because I did not like or perhaps didn't adapt to work with. And it was cumbersome. Boring.

But now with the iPad thinks can be a little different. I will have to give a try.

Thank you ! :)
