Eric I now realise you prefer your I.pad to a full sized I.mac , but surely a compromise might help I.e a MacBook Pro best of both worlds

My post was back in `July, Jeff. Since then I've sorted the transfer from xqd to iPad, thanks.

We did consider a MacBook Pro and it may still be an option when I retire my office desktop later this year.

I can upload (= backup) from xqd cards 'in the field' to my WD external drive (battery powered) so no need for mains. :thumbs:

I can then view the files on the iPad via the drives own WiFi.

After deleting the lemons, I can import to iPad (again using its WiFi) for editing in Affinity Photo....which does handle D500 nefs. :applause:

I've got a 12â€ retina screen on the iPad which seems ok for editing.

I recognise that it's never going to be as good as a powerful desktop with Photoshop, a Wacom tablet and 24" monitors like I used professionally. But after 25years doing that sat at a desk, I just want to be a bit lazy and edit in my armchair in the lounge. :lol:

If the images I take in the future are ever to be used for something more than just viewing on forums or in house, I may rethink my workflow and equipment. But frankly I've done with striving for publishing perfect....good enough will suffice now. o.O
