Like James, I prefer Lightroom as well for iPadOS, but you might look at Pixelmator Photo. It’s affordable, the developer has been aggressive at improving it, and there’s no fee.

for ipad, Snapseed and Affinity Photo. As for iMac, there are plenty of choices, such as Gimp, pixlr, Photopea, PhotoDirector, PaintShop Pro and etc.
I would never use this program even if someone bought it for me.
YesSir! Agreed!I won't rent no stinkin' software!
"I won't pay 265 a year for photoshop."
@dpurdy, If by "265" you mean $265 US dollars, then I'm curious to know where you got that number? Your location is showing as Portland, OR, so in the USA you should be able to get both Lightroom Classic and Photoshop for $9.99/month, or $119.88/year: <https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/compare-plans.html>
The chart in that link shows the Lightroom + Photoshop plan for $9.99/month includes support for both desktop and iPad versions.
Maybe you were looking at the $19.99/month plan which includes 1TB of cloud storage? But cloud storage is not required to use Lightroom Classic or Photoshop, so you can pay extra for cloud storage, or not, your choice.
As someone who prefers to work with RAW files, I think Lightroom is the ideal editor. And the ability to organize my photos, manage keywords, write captions, create books, use the Negative Lab Pro plug-in, and publish photos to my SmugMug website are all significant Lightroom benefits, for me. Once-in-a-while I still use Photoshop, but the vast majority of my digital editing workflow is now done in Lightroom.
I have used Photoshop Elements in the past, and it is good, too. I do remember what a struggle it was for me to switch from Elements to Lightroom because the tools and interface are so different. It was probably 6 months or longer before I started to get comfortable using Lightroom (I am a slow learner). But now (seven years later), I consider the investment in time and money to be well worth it, and am glad I made the switch to Lightroom.
I could be wrong I guess because I didn't spend much time researching it. I just searched how much is Photoshop and came to the info that to use photoshop you have to subscribe to the cloud which the price I saw was 22.50USD a month if you signed up for a whole year and if you did there are lots of ways to get photoshop to work on it for free. So 22.5 USD comes to around 265 a year.. my approximate type math. At that point I stopped researching photoshop.
That is weird. As far as I know Adobe has offered Lightroom Classic plus Photoshop for the same price of $9.99/month for years now. I do vaguely recall there were some reports that some people were shown different prices for Adobe products on different websites.
Actually, I am able to confirm that different Adobe websites do show different pricing -- or more accurately, different product bundles. Below are two screen shots, both from Adobe websites.
Actually what the did was weirder. I went looking and all I saw was the $19.99 plan with cloud storage. I looked, and look, and all external links to the $9.99 plan than anyone sent me, resolved to the $19.99 plan. It was very frustrating, until I tried a different browser. Firefox gave me the $19.99 plan, Chrome gave me the $19.99 plan, but Safari gave me the $9.99 plan. These were all from the exact same link.
