As a result of giving my wife a new iPad mini for Xmas I've acquired her iPad 2. Just wondering how you guys are using this to process photos. Thinking it might be a nice way to view and edit my digital photos (mostly vacation stuff as my "serious" stuff is shot on film and scanned).

Any recommendations for software and workflow? I've inherited the camera kit (had to buy a new one with the lightning plug for the mini, damn you apple, same price as an adapter to use the old one).
 
Yeah did an early Xmas as we'll be traveling and wanted to get it done before that.

The Lightning adapter and the new camera kit are the same price, so now we each have one.

Know there are loads of apps just wondering which ones people actually find useful. Snapseed looks good. Thinking probably processing jpgs from my GRD3. Maybe an occasional RAW.

A bit worried how it will integrate with Lightroom which is sorta my master database. All this digital stuff seems to leave different versions all over the place. Makes the usually well hidden OCD part of me a bit crazy.
 
Recent reviews on iTunes store seem to suggest that Snapseed has started to suck since Google bought it and it became free.

Are you guys using the latest version? A lot of talk about it being crashy and buggy in the latest update.
 
You can import both Raw + JPG from an SD card into iPhoto, view them on the iPad, and share them (JPGs) on Flick, Facebook, e-mail etc. When you get back to your main computer, you can import directly from the iPad. Connect the iPad and in Lightroom, click "Import photos and video" and you should see the iPad as an available source.

I just did it and was able to import the RAW files all the way through the workflow. Just need to practice it a few times until it becomes comfortable.
 
cool didnt realize snapseed was now free! seemed to work fine with brief play around (iPhone 4). thank you google!
 
I find Snapseed to be terrific on the iPhone and iPad. In particular, I like the ability to make an adjustment to a chosen area of the image (vs. the image as a whole).

Has anyone used PhotoRaw (a raw converter for iPad)?

Recently acquired a model-1 iPad. In addition, I got myself a cheap adapter to download photo's from the SD card from my Ricoh GXR, into iPhoto, into Snapseed.

It's great indeed. Allows for a quick edit of (JPG or DNG?) files, so that I can quickly show a customer what my pictures will look like. I can see it win a potential customer over on the spot, actually! 😎
