:comingsoon:I just ordered an iPad 64 G wifi w/ 3G for use as a tool to better view my concert photography that I post on my website. I understand that the iPad does no editing (Lightroom), but will display RAW photos. (Any editing softwate in iTunes?) I would be interested to hear from fellow photographers as to how they are using their iPad or plan to use it? Thanks, jorge
I am a serious amatuer, not a hobbyist. The ipad is great for viewing pictures, showing protfolios, searching the web, etc. There isn't a great app yet for editing but there is a app called filterpro or something like that (I don't have my ipad with me right now) that is really nice. It does quick adjustmetns but enough to get you by. I picked it up for free but they may charge for it now. I can tell you the name later tonight. I haven't used it on RAW's, only ipad optimized photos I synced from itunes. I am hoping for an aperture light or something at some point.
I'm an amateur photographer and will be very interested in photo editing on the iPad as it evolves. I don't work with RAW photos, I tend to just run with 4000x3000 JPGs and edit them using a combination of Photoshop, Picasa and Windows Live Photo Gallery. Now, the big downside to the iPad is no easy way of getting pictures onto the device without the use of a 30 dollar cable (typical Apple). Hopefully someone will come out with a wireless syncing app of some sort sometime soon, where I can sync photos over Wi-Fi, like Dropbox but local.
Have you taken a look at the Air Stash? AirStash: wireless flash drive + pocket media server + SD adapter for iPhone, iPod touch & iPad John
I don't think the small screen and lack of a mouse will allow for any serious photo editing. I use Photoshop on a 22 inch monitor and frequently use every bit blowing up areas for small tweaks. If you're specifically looking for a machine optimized for image editing, the iPad won't be your best choice.
I think that for most amateur photographers the iPad would be a great way to edit their photos. Rotate with multi-touch, pinch and zoom to crop, basic color, contrast and red eye correction, etc. Obviously for professional touch up artists it would be a little over-simplified but for most users it would work just fine.
It's actually called filterstorm. It's not a replacement for PS but on the iPad it's pretty impressive. Again I've only used it on small jpegs not daws so not sure how it works on larger files.
I like to use photogene for editing and sorting right on the Ipad. Then using Nero Media to download on the PC and add music. Does anyone know of a better way to downloading the pictures to the PC.
