Lightroom for iPad - how useful it is for lovers seriously & Pros

Hi all

I post this question here because I couldn't find satisfactory answers by Google search.

I have two requests:

(1) is now recently launched FREE Lightroom for iPad (you do not have to have a Creative Cloud subscription - it is a free standalone software cost for iPad & Android tablets & so is mobile) as functional as the original LR for iPad where he had to have a subscription to the CC? I have a perpetual license for LR 6. XX (not a subscription of the cc and therefore was not eligible for LR for iPad before this free version came out) and I have now installed the free app from the Apple Store on my iPad Air. Is this a version with less features?

(2) whereas LR for iPad seems comfortable to make adjustments to photos taken with the iPad, how it really is useful for a serious amateur and a pro who shoot RAW/NEF with DSLR?

The idea behind LR for iPad appears to allow editing of the RAW files on the go. But I do see quite a few tools that are available on the LR of ordinary office. From what I understand he must buy a connector of camera for iPad - which I have not yet bought - and RAW files are transferred to the iPad as intelligent preview for editing files.

When only the basic editing capabilities are found on LR for iPad (OR maybe I did not understand where are the advanced editing tools more) how a serious amateur or a professional photographer has a real productivity with LR for iPad?

And does still have the internet connection to transfer back & forth between iPad and computer? And the files are always stored in the cloud?

It is quite a lot of questions for me.

Thanks in advance

What Lightroom mobile is: a fun way to modify some images that you have on your main computer of Lightroom while sitting on the couch watching television and a simple way to generate a quick sideshow portfolio to show people superficially. It can also take as a JPEG of the film on your mobile device and sync those to your main machine. The latter can be very useful if as me you pull a few extra images documentaries and movies with your iPhone. They will automatically appear in the library of your main machine alongside your digital SLR. Another use for it is as a way to get your images published in instagram office.

What he is not: a complete edition and the cataloging of solution that can ingest raw images. It cannot replace a laptop.

Conclusion: It is a bit of a toy and very far from being a professional editing tool. If you use it for what it is intended for the it can be slightly useful. Do not expect too much of it.
