32GB WiFi iPad 3 or 16BG WiFi iPad 4 for Photo Retouching? The 32 GB storage is a plus, but the MUCH faster processor, lightning connector and future proof of iPad 4 is tempting too. As photo retouching apps advance and need more horsepower the iPad 4 will deliver, just don't want to run out of space with 16GB. Which one would you recommend for Photo Retouching?

I would go with the iPad 4, better GPU and more future proof than the iPad 3 thus saving money in the long run.

A friend of mine uses a USB dongle / Card reader with her iPad to back up future projects and stores current projects on her iPad.

Right...but I want to do it on my iPad...

There is really no great photo editing software except if you like filtering out your photos such as snapseed and camera+...i don't use instagram, so I can't comment.

The ipad 2/mini is even fine. The ipad 4 will give you more speed (slightly) than the ipad 2/mini but I don't think you need to worry about storage space unless you plan on carrying alot of images and/or video.

I think the sweet spot is 32GB ipad 3. If you want to have a bit more speed and power, get the 16GB iPad 4. Even better, spend another $100 and get 32GB ipad 4!

If you will use the cloud to store your pics, get the iPad 4. Otherwise, go for the 3.
