Recommended storage for iPad Pro
Hi,
I'm a design student at NTU, and is looking to buy an iPad Pro. I was wondering how much storage (GB) do you recommend for using Adobe apps like Photoshop?

Buy an iPad with as much storage as you can afford - as it cannot be added later short of replacing the iPad. It’s far better to discover that you have more storage than you need - than to discover that you need more than you have.
If storing or manipulating photos on your device - making edits or incremental backups image projects - you can consume storage space quite quickly. You may choose to keep source and processed data in off-line or cloud storage, but your local storage can be consumed rapidly. If you regularly work with Photoshop, you should already appreciate the volumes of data storage that you use - or will likely need. Personally, I wouldn’t go lower than 512GB (remembering that System overheads and other Apps/data will be competing for some of your available storage) - but your needs may differ.
Whilst not being able to give a definitive number, I hope this provided helpful guidance in helping to make an informed decision.

mind you the photoshop app for ios that ipad pro runs is not 100% the same app as one run on windows and macos so I would make sure it feature complete in terms of your needs.
