I remember when Adobe came to an Apple Keynote in 2018 to show how powerful was Photoshop on the new iPad Pros.

我记得Adobe在2018年参加Apple Keynote时展示了Photoshop在新iPad Pro上的强大功能。

In fact, like everyone else, I was blown away, and I couldn’t wait to try it out myself.

实际上，和其他所有人一样，我也被震撼了，我迫不及待想自己尝试一下。

I only had to buy the new iPad Pro, the new Apple Pencil, and wait until 2019, when they decided to release the iPad version of Photoshop. So I did what I could at the time and bought the iPad and Pencil.

我只需要购买新的iPad Pro，新的Apple Pencil，并等到2019年，他们决定发布iPad版本的Photoshop。 因此，我当时尽我所能，购买了iPad和Pencil。

Photoshop was the main reason why I couldn’t work entirely on an iPad. There were great alternatives out there, but they just didn’t work as well as Photoshop for me.

Photoshop是我无法完全在iPad上工作的主要原因。 有很多不错的选择，但是对我来说，它们却不如Photoshop那样好用。

So, until Adobe released the software, I decided to adapt my workflow to the iPad Pro slowly. It was working fine. iPadOS wasn’t as good back then as it is now. Safari was still displaying a larger mobile version of most websites, and most apps weren’t fully ready to take advantage of the iPad Pro’s power.

因此，在Adobe发布软件之前，我决定将工作流程慢慢适应iPad Pro。 运行正常。 iPadOS当时不如现在。 Safari仍在显示大多数网站的更大移动版本，并且大多数应用还没有完全准备好利用iPad Pro的功能。

The iPad Pro seemed a little overpowered for what it was still: a larger iPhone.

iPad Pro似乎仍然有些强大：更大的iPhone。

But there was hope. Photoshop coming to the iPad was the start of getting professional apps to the iPad.

但是有希望。 Photoshop进入iPad是将专业应用程序引入iPad的开始。

iPad Pro上Photoshop的悲惨现实 (The Sad Reality of Photoshop on the iPad Pro)

We all had to wait until almost the end of 2019 to see Photoshop coming to the iPad Pro.

我们都必须等到2019年底才能看到Photoshop进入iPad Pro。

After such a long wait, it would be the perfect app, right?

经过漫长的等待，这将是完美的应用程序，对吗？

Well, it truly isn’t. Most of the features are there but incomplete or not working at all with “The Current Version of the Software.” Yes, you can draw, do some light photo editing, and some very basic graphic design, but you can only use a minimal set of tools, with very few controls.

好吧，事实并非如此。 大多数功能都存在，但是不完整或无法使用“当前版本的软件”使用。 是的，您可以绘制，进行一些浅色的照片编辑和一些非常基本的图形设计，但是您只能使用最少的工具集，并且控件很少。

Photoshop on the iPad Pro is not as good as most of its competitors.

iPad Pro上的Photoshop不如大多数竞争对手好。

Most importantly, it’s far from the desktop experience. The two don’t communicate that well, even though I have a Creative Cloud subscription. Some people are also saying that the resolution of files gets smaller when handled on the iPad, which is a significant issue for any professional work.

最重要的是，它离桌面体验还很远。 即使我有Creative Cloud订阅，两者的沟通也不太好。 有人还说，在iPad上处理文件时，文件的分辨率会变小，这对于任何专业工作来说都是一个重要问题。

I do believe that Photoshop was release very prematurely to honor the promise of releasing the app in 2019. But it’s now May 2020, and there haven’t been many improvements so far.

我确实相信Photoshop会过早发布，以兑现在2019年发布该应用程序的承诺。但是现在是2020年5月，到目前为止，还没有很多改进。

Pro Apps可以在iPad Pro上使用吗？ (Can Pro Apps Make It On The iPad Pro?)

Photoshop coming to the iPad was the signal everyone was waiting for. Photoshop coming to the iPad proves both the users and the developers that the tablet can handle the high-quality standards in terms of power and workflow that pros and creatives have.

iPad上的Photoshop是每个人都在等待的信号。 进入iPad的Photoshop向用户和开发人员证明，平板电脑可以处理专业人士和创意人士所拥有的功能和工作流程方面的高质量标准。

That didn’t work out.

那没有解决。

The iPad Pro was advertised as more powerful than most laptops; meanwhile, most of these cheap laptops can handle Photoshop just fine.

iPad Pro被宣传为比大多数笔记本电脑更强大。 同时，大多数廉价笔记本电脑都可以很好地处理Photoshop。

It’s now May 2020, and the iPad is still lacking lots of pro apps. There are rumors about Apple launching an iPad version of Final Cut Pro and Xcode later this year. Let’s hope that’s the case. Maybe if Adobe failed at proving the iPad could be an excellent device for pros, Apple would succeed.

现在是2020年5月，iPad仍然缺少很多专业应用程序。 有传言称苹果将于今年晚些时候发布iPad版本的Final Cut Pro和Xcode。 希望是这样。 也许如果Adobe无法证明iPad可以成为专业人士的绝佳设备，那么Apple将会成功。

Sidecar帮助我在iPad Pro上试用Pro应用 (Sidecar Helped Me Try Out Pro Apps on the iPad Pro)

For those of you that desperately want to try pro apps on your iPad to see how the experience would be, I can’t recommend Sidecar enough.

对于那些迫切希望在iPad上尝试专业应用程序以了解体验的人，我不能推荐足够的Sidecar。

Apple Sidecar is a technology that allows Mac users to use their iPad as a secondary display while still being able to use the Apple Pencil on your iPad.

Apple Sidecar是一项技术，它允许Mac用户将iPad用作辅助显示器，同时仍然可以在iPad上使用Apple Pencil。

I guess you understand where this is going: I dragged a Photoshop project on my iPad screen using Apple Sidecar, and I started enjoying Photoshop on the iPad, the full desktop version.

我想您知道这是怎么回事：我使用Apple Sidecar在iPad屏幕上拖动了一个Photoshop项目，然后开始在iPad(完整的桌面版本)上使用Photoshop。

And let me tell you one thing: it works great! The interface is a little small, even on the 12.9” iPad, but the way I was interacting with projects was very intuitive and overall very fun to use.

让我告诉你一件事：它很棒！ 即使在12.9英寸的iPad上，界面也有点小，但是我与项目进行交互的方式非常直观，而且使用起来非常有趣。

I’ve seen people do the same thing with Final Cut or even Premiere, saying that it was enjoyable to use.

我见过人们对Final Cut甚至Premiere都做同样的事情，说使用起来很有趣。

I don’t know if such a workflow would be productive long-term. But if we had standalone apps on the iPad, I feel like between the touch features, the Apple Pencil, keyboard shortcuts, and now even a mouse, we would have way more possibilities that we can think of.

我不知道这样的工作流程能否长期有效。 但是，如果我们在iPad上有独立的应用程序，我觉得在触摸功能，Apple Pencil，键盘快捷键甚至现在是鼠标之间，我们将有更多可以想到的可能性。

Apple Sidecar made me realize that these pro apps would work on the iPad. Even in their full form, with their complex interfaces. The touch features and the Apple Pencil are allowing a lot more possibilities, and I’m excited to experiment with them in the future when we have standalone pro apps.

Apple Sidecar让我意识到这些专业应用程序可以在iPad上运行。 即使是完整的形式，也具有复杂的界面。 触摸功能和Apple Pencil带来了更多的可能性，当我们拥有独立的专业应用程序时，我很高兴在将来尝试使用它们。
