I must have missed the initial inquiry because this is a subject with which 
I have some experience. I have several apps on my iPad, including PS Touch, 
PhotoRaw and Snapseed. I have also tried (and deleted) a couple of other 
apps for photo processing. When apps cost so little, one has the luxury of 
just trying them in this manner. 

I have settled on Snapseed for the editing. It has the best combination of 
capabilities and user interface for me. Because I shoot RAW, and because 
Snapseed does not support all RAW formats (in particular, it does not 
support Leica M8), I may need to use PhotoRaw to import the image first. 

These four photos were processed in this way and uploaded to Smugmug via 
Photosync:

So it can definitely be done, but I would not want to process hundreds of 
photos on an iPad. It is more for occasional use. I will be taking my iPad 
along on a bicycle tour in Denmark next week--a laptop is too heavy for 
that. One of the intended uses is to upload some pictures along the way, but 
it will be just a couple each evening, with serious processing to be done on 
a proper computer when I return.

Cheers,
Nathan
