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

我記得Adobe在2018年參加Apple Keynote時展示了Photoshop在新iPad Pro上的強大功能。

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

實際上，和其他所有人一樣，我也被震撼了，我迫不及待想自己嘗試一下。

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.

我只需要購買新的iPad Pro，新的Apple Pencil，并等到2019年，他們決定發布iPad版本的Photoshop。 因此，我當時盡我所能，購買了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是我無法完全在iPad上工作的主要原因。 有很多不錯的選擇，但是對我來說，它們卻不如Photoshop那樣好用。

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發布軟件之前，我決定將工作流程慢慢適應iPad Pro。 運行正常。 iPadOS當時不如現在。 Safari仍在顯示大多數網站的更大移動版本，并且大多數應用還沒有完全準備好利用iPad Pro的功能。

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

iPad Pro似乎仍然有些強大：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進入iPad是將專業應用程序引入iPad的開始。

iPad Pro上Photoshop的悲慘現實 (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.

我們都必須等到2019年底才能看到Photoshop進入iPad Pro。

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

經過漫長的等待，這將是完美的應用程序，對嗎？

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，事實并非如此。 大多數功能都存在，但是不完整或無法使用“當前版本的軟件”使用。 是的，您可以繪制，進行一些淺色的照片編輯和一些非常基本的圖形設計，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不如大多數競爭對手好。

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，它離桌面體驗還很遠。 即使我有Creative Cloud訂閱，兩者的溝通也不太好。 有人還說，在iPad上處理文件時，文件的分辨率會變小，這對于任何專業工作來說都是一個重要問題。

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.

我確實相信Photoshop會過早發布，以兌現在2019年發布該應用程序的承諾。但是現在是2020年5月，到目前為止，還沒有很多改進。

Pro Apps可以在iPad Pro上使用嗎？ (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是每個人都在等待的信號。 進入iPad的Photoshop向用戶和開發人員證明，平板電腦可以處理專業人士和創意人士所擁有的功能和工作流程方面的高質量標準。

That didn’t work out.

那沒有解決。

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

iPad Pro被宣傳為比大多數筆記本電腦更強大。 同時，大多數廉價筆記本電腦都可以很好地處理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.

現在是2020年5月，iPad仍然缺少很多專業應用程序。 有傳言稱蘋果將于今年晚些時候發布iPad版本的Final Cut Pro和Xcode。 希望是這樣。 也許如果Adobe無法證明iPad可以成為專業人士的絕佳設備，那么Apple將會成功。

Sidecar幫助我在iPad Pro上試用Pro應用 (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.

對于那些迫切希望在iPad上嘗試專業應用程序以了解體驗的人，我不能推薦足夠的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是一項技術，它允許Mac用戶將iPad用作輔助顯示器，同時仍然可以在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.

我想您知道這是怎么回事：我使用Apple Sidecar在iPad屏幕上拖動了一個Photoshop項目，然后開始在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.

讓我告訴你一件事：它很棒！ 即使在12.9英寸的iPad上，界面也有點小，但是我與項目進行交互的方式非常直觀，而且使用起來非常有趣。

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

我見過人們對Final Cut甚至Premiere都做同樣的事情，說使用起來很有趣。

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.

我不知道這樣的工作流程能否長期有效。 但是，如果我們在iPad上有獨立的應用程序，我覺得在觸摸功能，Apple Pencil，鍵盤快捷鍵甚至現在是鼠標之間，我們將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讓我意識到這些專業應用程序可以在iPad上運行。 即使是完整的形式，也具有復雜的界面。 觸摸功能和Apple Pencil帶來了更多的可能性，當我們擁有獨立的專業應用程序時，我很高興在將來嘗試使用它們。
