I have recently bought an iPad Pro and am experimenting with raw processors. My desktop workflow is Hasselblad Phocus and Photoshop but Phocus Mobile 2 has major limitations (eg. no 16 bit Tiff export) and Photoshop for iPad is still a work in progress. Lightroom and Affinity Photo seem to be the best solutions I have found but I've had RawPower recommended to me which looks like a neat alternative. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Got a tip for us?

RawPower is a nice tool indeed for certain kinds of raw workflow and helps add in capabilities that Apple Photos doesn't have. It doesn't have local adjustments or anything like that. In a way though, Lightroom and Affinity (if you need a pixel editor) would be the way to go because Adobe has always done a pretty good job with Hassie files. If you already have a LR/PS subscription, it may be worth checking LR out on the iPad in a no-risk sort of way. It's too bad that Phocus Mobile 2 has the limitations it has.
Affinity Photo is a great program for iPad, and it’s more like a Photoshop than a Lightroom though. Just working on an iPad has become quite a bit more advanced than it once was after Apple finally added external drive support. iPads have great displays, so it’s nice to be able to put them to good use.
