Maybe it is just my iPad Pro 9.7" that is wonky then, but even with the AP1 it is often difficult to get the darn selecting to occur and to occur correctly. Maybe a screen issue?

I do a lot of astrophotography, and I've tried various iPad apps for post processing photos including Adobe Lightroom CC and Photoshop CC, but it is a disappointing and frustrating task. Trying to get photos from a camera onto an iPad is tedious, and trying to get them back off is also tedious and time consuming. Perhaps post processing iPad/iPhone photos from the Photos app is okay, but certainly not from RAW files from a camera. And I often have way too many large files to work with after a night of shooting (sometimes hundreds) and there is no way the iPad could handle that many without taking a week or more. I find I have to use my MacBook Pro for post processing and file management as the iPad would be too slow and too tedious and a total failure with file management. They simply are not designed for the photography projects I work on nor or they designed for file management. The iPad is good for viewing photos that I load to the internet, but not much more, especially not good for post processing a lot of RAW camera files. A real laptop or desktop is the only way to go in my case. YMMV of course. It is relative easy to edit Photo app photos on the iPad, but doing profession type of processing is beyond it's design purposes regardless of what Apple TV commercials claim.
