Post Processing Capabilities with the Prime?

---

I'm a filmer/media productions guy for a skateboarding team that I ride for. How well do you guys think the Prime will handle post processing whether it'd be video or photo? I was thinking I can take the Prime into the field, and when I'm taking a break, I can plug in the my SD Cards from a GoPro or a DSLR and start playing with the photos/footage. This will make my time playing with Photoshop/Sony Vegas at the desktop MUCH much easier.

You're better off with a netbook/ultralight notebook. Android software is just not there yet. And neither is the hardware really.

I agree with RussianMenace's assessment, but I think the OP just wants to do really basic things like, say, adjust contrast or something and then later do the "real" work on a desktop (right?). If so, how do you feel about the current lineup of photo editing apps? I'm sure they'll run well on the transformer prime, probably really really well, but I doubt like "whole new ball game" better.

Also, there are a number of web/chrome apps for image editing that do the computing in the cloud, maybe that's something to check out if you can tether or get wifi in the field.

Personally I don't think you'd regret it, but I'm assuming you also want a transformer prime because it's an awesome tablet and not just for work. good luck!

There is a photoshop touch app that came out not long ago for android that probably can do an alright amount of post processing

Here is a look at it in action (although more creation as opposed to post processing)

Thats exactly what I want to do and tethering sounds like a really good viable option. Is there any light, video editing software out there for Android?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not getting the Prime just to do media editing in the field. I want the Prime, because I WANT IT (IT NEEDS TO BE DEC. 1st ALREADY SO THEY CAN FINALLY MAKE SOME ANNOUNCEMENTS)

I'm sure they are as I have a few on my iPad and android phone. Just type those keywords in the search in android market and see what pops up. Assuming you have an Android phone or device to do so

The Tegra 3 chip is more efficient than any netbook has. The Atom D525 would probably be faster but it will use more energy. Plus most programs for a computer cost a LOT more to purchase and install than a similar app (one close enough to do field work) would cost to purchase from the android market.

There are netbooks running the dual cores are still faster than the t3. As far as software goes, you get what you pay for. You're not going to get photoshop quality software on android. Whereas on the PC you can get GIMP which is powerful and free.

Yeah, we can't get photoshop quality software even though we have photoshop itself.

Yes, there is, and it comes bundled free even with the first-gen Transformer. No, it is not capable of much more than cobbling together some low-quality video similar to what you might grab with your smartphone.
