Yes, on IOS 12 I regularly import very large RAW photos on my first generation iPad Pro. The RAW importing workflow is finally as good as the JPG, meaning it actually processes RAW in iOS photos. I'll also add that in some ways, such as editing levels, the iPad and my phone seem faster than a MacBook Pro. Whether this boils down to specialized hardware, more efficient software or something else I do not know.
I'll also add that the older iPad Pro hardware often goes on fire sale, and may do so more often now.
- beezischillin 8y agoUnfortunately all the windows and mac versions of Adobe applications are extremely slow and bloated. Using Draw on the first gen iPad Pro to draw a portrait or something works extremely well and then saving that and importing it onto Illustrator on the mac is a tragedy, for example.

- carlospwk 8y agoThere's a workaround (albeit somewhat annoying) to this: After you've imported your photos to the Photos app, select them all and then export them to your destination of choice on the Files app. Then you can open them with whatever app you need to (or import them straight to the app folder itself if possible).
- dpkonofa 8y agoOut of curiosity, what difference does that make? If you can still work with and access those photos from within the app, what difference does it make if they get imported into Photos first vs. a file system?
