What you really get from an I work flow

What's your point, David? That it's a not-so-good of an image? That the person using the (supposedly) iPad for image editing in this case doesn't know what they are doing? Or, what exactly?

I do like the image title. I'm not sure it speaks as much to the capability of the iPad or the poster, but I do like it.

You do realize that there is an entire world of image composition and art that isn't within your realm of experience, don't you?

fwiw, I know a couple of photographers using their iPads to look at the captured images in real-time as they shoot rather than review on the dinky little screens on a DSLR. Is that an OK use?

I wouldn't be afraid to edit an image on one of the things if I ever bought one. It still would be processed on the desktop, just like those photographers I know. But for going about and talking with clients? Doing a sketch mock-up in their office? Seems like it would beat the hell out of my heavy laptop and bag.

Here. This was taken using my 5-year old Samsung phone. This image has gone to print (screen shot is from a CMYK PDF).

Now, whether I would go to print for a national company without further work or not--or a shoot with an actual DSLR--I dunno. But I have gotten worse from professional photographers over the years using both film and digital. So Probably I would.

I know I know the camera in Apple stuff is about the best there is for those devices, certainly right up there in the best of the best thing. Sometimes it ain't the equipment.

This is just another avenue for trash. Screen quality and environment count way too much. These things, most laptops and many low end desktop displays are only good for FPO work. In doubt if many on this forum can see just how awful this image really is. Convenience and slop rule the world.

Using laptops to view captured images is away of looking professional to those who don't know any better. Even with the best you can't really tell if an image is good, the environment and screen makes a fool of you, better shooting 100 times what you need. Then pick and composite when needed, I know it's popular but so is crap work.

Well, David, continue to pat yourself on the back for being one of the chosen that can truly see how bad that image is.

BTW, that isn't the original, as shot image. Do you have the original? Or is this image something you've dug up from the Internet to prove yourself as the be-all, end-all of image editing?

You haven't got much of a clue about any work-flow that is for your own, myopic POV. If you shoot digital, for instance, do you review a shot on the dinky little screen on the camera? If you could tether to something larger to truly judge the composition and overall lighting, why not? It's better than the little screen. Or do you take it on faith (or your own perfect sense of how the image came out) and wait until they are on that perfect color-correcting machine you have?

Get real.

The image is badly processed. And badly shot. I'm guessing it was an HDR? because the whole thing looks like an architects mockup. Unrealistic looking. Shadows are too light midtone contrast is crap.

And I'm not sure a polarising filter would have removed it but the coating on the window glass is creating a bad patchy effect that the photographer should have been aware of .
