The iPad Has Earned a Place in Your Camera Bag! Apple's popular iPad tablet is an incredibly useful tool for photographers on the go. Instead of hauling a laptop on the road or to a photo shoot, you can tuck the lightweight iPad in your camera bag and take advantage of its large screen, third-party apps, and online access to effectively complete and share your work. Novice to pro shooters will discover everything that the iPad has to offer with simple step-by-step instructions and real-world advice for:* Importing and copying photos from memory cards using the iPad Camera Connection Kit, then uploading and backing up to iCloud Photo Stream or Dropbox. * Organizing and rating images and assigning tags in the field, and integrating them later with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom on your computer. * Editing photos with Photogene, Snapseed, and other image adjustment tools. * Editing video clips in iMovie, creating slideshows, rough cuts, and more. * Using portfolio software to create and deliver impressive iPad presentations for prospective clients.Photographers will learn other clever uses for iPads including triggering the camera shutter remotely, using the screen as a fill flash, calculating depth of field, tracking outdoor light conditions, storing camera manuals as PDFs for quick reference, and other handy at-your-fingertip resources to complement your particular shooting style. A bonus online chapter with additional coverage for the new iPad--including iPhoto and Photoshop Touch apps--is included with purchase. The iPad is a powerful photography tool and this guide will help every photographer take advantages of its full capabilities!
