The funny thing is, affinity photo and color checker passport are even sold in a bundle, yet they to not really work together

Sure, but what I mean should be both, easier to develop and more flexible to use. Just imagine you could shoot somewhere in the field, pull all the photos onto your iPad, give star ratings to identify the best ones, (perhaps even start with some basic editing), continue to work on your desktop, backup everything on your NAS and eventually show the best photographs to your clients or friends on the iPad again. I‘d love such a workflow, but even though Adobe made some progress towards it, they force us to sync everything through the cloud. Having raw files with 30mb per photo as well as a poor internet connection, their approach does not work. Why is there no innovative company to consider such an easy but effective workflow?

Same for me! In my opinion there is no need for affinity to do this on their own. Why not just cooperate with qnap or synology? This could give us plenty of storage as well as fast backups of and syncing between our devices. Additionally there are no privacy issues. Come on guys, how hard can it be?

Regarding hardware and battery demands: I was not talking about mobile editing. It was more about the rating part. This could even be done with jpg previews, at least, this is what I am doing today....

Hi there, are you considering to really support a mobile professional workflow? Coming from a job (e.g. wedding), I have thousands of raw images which I have to go through and select the best ones to be edited. Back home, I would like to store them on my NAS and synchronize a specific folder with my iPad. I could then do the culling on the roads, e.g. sitting in a train (offline). Back home, the ratings should again be synchronized to my NAS so I can start editing the best ones on my iMac. Edited photos should then be synchronized via NAS to my iPad, so I can show them to customers... I definitely want to sync via NAS, because I easily end up with more than 100GB of images after a wedding. There must not be any cloud storage involved because this slows down the entire process! Additionally, for travel photography it would be great to back up to my iPad first while traveling. I could then start rating the images with star ratings and synchronize the result as soon as I am back home. This means I neither have to carry a laptop to choose the best images, nor do I have to wait with the rating and selection of my images until I am at home... For my personal images it would be great if all edited photos could be synced to my photos roll on iMac, iPhone and iPad via NAS (with the time when my images were taken, not when they were edited...) looking forward to hearing from you chris
