I've just picked up my ipad pro, boughty Affinity to start editing my RAW's but I'm wondering the best place to go though and view the RAWs before starting to edit to get rid of all the rubbish. I was wondering what other people do as a workflow.

1. My initial thought is

2. Import All photos to the photo App

3. Go through and review the RAWs favoriting all the photos i want to edit

4. Open Affinity. Create a New Project

5. Import all the favourited photos from the Photos App into the Project

6. Delete all the RAWs from the Photos App
 
I use Lightroom Mobile to do the majority of my editing but use Afinity for a few things.

So...

1. Import to Photos.
2. Upload to Adobe Lightroom.
3. Delete all from Photos.
4. Edit in LR then export a large as possible to LR folder in Photos.
5. Upload to Afinity.
6. Edit in Afinity.
7. Export.

So its pretty much as you've described as above really.
 
Once iPadOS comes out in September all of this will change. You will be able to directly import pictures to Lightroom from external drives/SD cards and won't need to use the photos app if you don't want to.

Your process could look like this:

1. Import photos directly to lightroom
2. Cull in lightroom
3. Edit in lightroom
4. Export to another program or export as JPEG to a folder and/or photos app.

Google iPadOS if you want to know more about what Apple are doing.

I had a look at usuing Lightroom but without an adobe subscription i can only export as a small size file not the full size. Really dont want a subscription. Wish they just let you buy Lightroom for the ipad outright

Assuming you're not using Lightroom, your method is probably the fastest and best. But if you've already got other Favourites, it could be better to create a new album to hold the photos you want to work on. In Photos, you look at a photo, select it if you want to work on it, swipe left for the next, and so on. Then hit Done and add the selected photos to the new folder. It's one extra step, but it keeps them separate from any existing Favourites.

In Affinity Photo, you'd then just import from the new folder.
