#Can i use my ipad pro as a wacom tablet full#
I think you'll find a Microsoft Surface tablet maybe cheaper than a Wacom Studio Pro and will actually do everything you need a tablet and full computer combined can do. I think you really need to be looking a Microsoft Surface/Surface Pro tablets instead of Apple iPads/iPad Pros. Like I stated, NO iPad is a full laptop computer replacement and iPads can, mostly, connect up to Macs and NOT PCs for the types of image editing tasks you want to do. You can use external drives now with an iPad Pro, but I am not sure if many of the popukar sketching/drawing/painting/image editing apps available for iOS support RAW or Tiff files, either. You can purchase accessories for an Apple Pencil that make it feel more ergonomic, like a Wacom Pen, though. Wacom's pens for their graphics tablets, ergonomically, are much better to use day to day.
So, the costs of an iPad Pro and newer, compatible Mac, for the type of work you do, could easily exceed £3000.Īn iPad/iPad does NOT run full computer applications and the version of full Photoshop for iOS has only just been released a few months ago and does not have all of the feature set, as yet, as full Photoshop on a full featured computer.Īn iPad/iPad Pro runs Apple's tabletOS, iOS/iPadOS and it is not a full replacement for a full featured laptop computer, as yet.Ī iPad or iPad Pro IS NOT a Wacom Studio Pro by any stretch of the imagination, either!Īn iPad/iPad Pro will have apps that will, more or less, depending on the apps used, approximate some features and functionalities of a Wacom Studio Pro, but that is it!Īpple Pencil is, more or less, equal to a Wacom Pen. A second screen experience for your Mac and iPad With an iPad Pro and Astropad Studio, I may never need a Wacom tablet again I've dreamed of making the iPad into a smart, pressure-sensitive second screen experience for my Mac for years, but it's Astropad Studio not Apple that seems poised to make that a reality. It’s the highest rated product in its category and some claim that the second place lags far behind. And you will not have to deal with excessively big budget. This tablet is, without a doubt, the most popular one.

You will have the best professional drawing software to choose from as well. If it’s going to be your computer for the most part, than Wacom pen tablet is a great choice.
An iPad Pro is made to work alone or with a Mac ONLY, for the things you would wish to accomplish. When choosing between iPad and Wacom consider where you will work most of the time.
