iPad with Lightroom and mouse control makes a good PC replacement

To answer the question how well Lightroom works on the iPad, I set the standard quite high. I expect the iPad version with mouse support to work so well that I can move my entire workflow from Mac to iPad.

In the first versions of Lightroom with mouse support the integration was still bumpy. In the meantime it has to be said that the handling on sliders and in the rest of the editing area feels very comfortable. The whole user experience is in no way inferior to the PC version.
