I used my iPad as a light table last night - awesome way to view negatives or slides.

Neat idea.

It would be - great idea! The screen is so bright. There's an app called flashlight which makes the whole screen bright white - could use that to enhance it

that is a great idea. ok, really, that is one step closer for me.

Doesn't the matrix of the screen get magnified too much?

Amazing idea, most expensive simple light table ever! Actually I've used my MacBook Pro:s 13" screen that way plenty of times on travels, even if it doesn't lye flat.

Ha! I'd been thinking about getting one of those miniature flat light table things...glad I didn't!

I've done this before, but I use a 37" TV as my computer monitor and it's not perfect (as even thought it's a 1920x1080 panel the pixels are quite large)

Sweet!

Guess that means I can compare two frames w/ the iPhone flashlight app...

It works on my touch.

I've been doing that for a while now- it works great!

I also have an empty text document, maximized to fill my screen, that I use to review negatives in archival pages against my iMac. Yay!
