When iPadOS gets here you might be able to use external storage directly from you iPad. If you’re not using iCloud you’ll have to figure out how you’re going to manage storage, especially if you’re a prolific shooter. IPTC Image metadata is very important to me I have no idea what Affinity Photo offers, so you’ll have to evaluate that for yourself (I rely on Bridge). If my photography was all single-shot images (i.e., no stitching) I would probably rely on the iPad provided the compromise in functionality was tolerable. I definitely prefer to keep Photoshop CC on the MacBook, and it’s extremely unlikely I’ll ever put any part of it on my iPad. I haven’t traveled since getting the iPad, so not quite sure if I would take just iPad or iPad and MacBook. I now have Affinity Designer on both Mac and iPad Pro (with Pencil). Lightroom can’t handle these images, and is of very limited use to me for other reasons PhotoMerge is a flop. I almost always have to use Photoshop to edit stitched images after they’re stitched because they include elements in motion like water (rivers, sea). Many of my photographic images are stitched with a dedicated app (definitely not Photoshop), and they’re large. I’ve used Photoshop in various flavors since about 2007, and Photoshop CC these days, always on a MacBook Pro. Just like if you had your RAW files stored on OneDrive, Google Drive, and external drive, I think a lot depends on the kind of photography you do. You can find the original RAW files in the “Files” app on your iPad and extract them from there, to manipulate in any compatible app - like Affinity Photo, Lightroom etc. The file you see in the Photo app is a copy of the original RAW file located in iCloud. RAW files on an iPad are typically not stored locally. Someone please correct me if this is inaccurate). Storing them on your iPad first would then double the lost space - once for local storage, and a second time while the working image is held in Affinity's memory space (at least I’m pretty sure this is how it works. One can easily open them into the Affinity apps and work on them. IMHO it would be more flexible and more organized to keep these files on some sort of external or even cloud drive. Others have already addressed this, but I’d like to point out something else important: While it might sound like a good idea to bring your raw files directly into your iPad, this may not be the best approach for workflow.
