Hi Jens, This thread might help a little regarding which to choose - the 9.7 inch or 12.9 inch iPad Pro: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/18791-ipad-pro-apple-pencil-users/?hl=apple+pencil :) O.

Jeff Benjamin has a good summary overview of the top and not-so-top features of the new 9.7 inch iPad Pro.

The Grey Learning courses for the Nik Collection (by Photographer/author/educator Tim Grey) are now being offered for free. (Don't know if enrolling for these free courses requires any other commitments)

Thanks, MEB! :)

Google has made it's Nik Collection of six plug-ins free for download. (For Photoshop, Lightroom or Aperture - not listed for AP)

Looks like the new 9.7 inch iPad Pro's processing speeds are slower than its 12.9 inch sibling. The new 9.7 inch model's lightning port is also slower - supporting only USB 2, whereas the lighting port on the 12.9 model supports USB 3. :( The 9.7 inch does have a 12 megapixel rear camera. But this comes with a bump out, which likely means having to use a case to make it level when on its back. :mellow: The 9.7 inch also has a new type of display (True Tone) which automatically adjusts the color temperature to match the ambient room light. At first blush this sounds like a great idea, but I'm wondering if it may introduce any issues when designing... :huh: The new display is also supposed to be much lower in reflectivity. :)

Thank you, R C-R! :)

I would love to see more detailed tutorials on resizing as well!

Thanks Asha, I'm guessing the new model will be pretty similar to the current model, but then again, you never know! :)

iPad Pro / Apple Pencil users - Just curious what your thoughts are concerning the rumored 9.7 inch iPad Pro... It is supposed to support Apple pencil. The advantages/disadvantages between the different sizes seem obvious, but I was just wondering, based on experience, if anyone might have some insights they would like to share. Paolo? Ronniemcbride - (have you got an apple pencil yet?) Anyone?

Sad to hear Astropad is considering a subscription model for "pro" users.

Bravo! Well done indeed!! This is much deserved!!

More info for those who are interested: What you can and cannot do with an Apple Pencil on iPad Pro Still saving up .... Apple recently added my older iMac to their no longer serviceable list... (sigh) ... so may need to replace the iMac first. (re-sigh)... :(

A handy setup tip: Jason Cipriani has posted a way to quickly check the battery status of an iPad Pro and of an Apple Pencil.

Just in case anyone is interested in how it is built, the folks at IFIXIT took an Apple Pencil apart!

Thanks for sharing your experience, Paolo! :) I wonder if responsiveness will be improved with Astropad in the future... Any other alternatives (to Astropad) out there for iPad Pro/Apple Pencil anyone is aware of?

Can't wait to hear what you think about it!! :)

A video comparison of an iPad Pro with AstroPad vs Wacom Cintiq 13HD.

Most Certainly Escherian! ;)

Why Apple Pencil blows away Wacom Cintiq

Me too! - (waiting for Designer and Photo brought to the iPad, but now also hoping for support for iPad Pro/Apple Pencil!)

I would love to see the iPad Pro supported as a pen tablet device, if possible.
