Guys,
I am heading back to work tomorrow and was planning on buying a new iPad 2 either here in KL or at the duty free in Singapore airport
Anyway my question is what are the must have (Photography) Apps to put on the iPad any other recommendations are welcome.
 
PS lite (free) is pretty handy. You can do basic edits of ipad pictures or any other pictures you have on the ipad. It also has an uploader for facebook which I like better than any others I've found yet.

Thanks,
Rick
 
Few I use:

Filterstorm
Photosmith (Lightroom on iPad)
Photoshop Express
TPE (The Photographer's Ephemeris)
Photo-sort (Organise folders of images on your iPad, facebook sharing)
Photo Soft-box Pro HD (Handy for macro shots as lighting or as a backdrop/light table)
Easy Release (Model Release on iPad)
Photo Transfer (Transfer images over WiFi)
FlickStackr (great Flickr client for iPad)

As for other areas of interest...

Games - Real Racing 2 HD + Need for speed Hot Pursuit HD if you like racing. The wife likes puzzle games - try Beyond Ynth HD, Labyrinth 2 HD, Shanghai and of course Angry Birds HD.
For working on ideas - Adobe Ideas
For keeping notes - Evernote
Web browsing - Atomic Web
Facebook - Liike

If you have a collection of videos that are on a hard drive somewhere on your network then 'Air Video' is great for watching them streamed to your iPad.
 
Get the camera connection kit and you can.
 
Portfolio for iPad
Snapseed
Moodboard
TP App

Filterstorm will be the only photo manipulation app you'll need.
 
Scott Kelby has just released a digital magazine called Light It, bit of a nightmare to download but worth a look.

Help, I can't get this to download. Any suggestions anyone?
 
Tried to download 3 times no joy, uninstalled the app and reinstalled, downloaded another 2 times and it worked on the second try. I think its a bit hit a miss to be honest.

Interesting read though :thumbs:

Filterstorm Pro + the camera connection kit. It's a brilliant combination.

You can also use the camera kit to connect a USB keyboard amongst other things!

But how did you get them off again??

Not being sarky. just press the delete button. I've just downloaded Snapseed and it's a good but basic piece of manipulation sw
 
Lol.
What I meant was.
How do you get them off the ipad onto another machine for processing?

I'm running shuttersnitch on my ipad but purely as a viewer as I haven't found a really easy way to get the full res stuff off.
 
The camera connection kit saves the photos to the Camera Roll; with Shuttersnitch the easiest way is to save them to there and then drag them off.

Get Dropbox on both machines and upload/download from there.

Can I ask why you'd want to do that?

I can see some reasons for using Dropbox, but for simply pulling photos off an iPad onto your PC just connecting it is far easier and quicker.

Because I don't want to carry my lap top and iPad everywhere together. At the same time I've only had the iPad for a month and I'm open to all and any advice.
 
As I said, I can see reasons for it- remote storage being one of them. However the implication here was that Joe wants to tfr the images for processing, which would imply collocation and also whacking full res files onto dropbox is going to be fairly slow and eat a lot of bandwidth.

There's nothing wrong with your method, but I'd say that there were easier ways! :)
 
Horses for courses Mark. I'm using it to show prospective clients site mock ups, and I need access to lots of files and images. I do still think that the iPad is an amazing tool for pro photographers.

As said the camera connection kit stores them in a dcim format structure just like your camera does. And when that is there when the iPad gets connected to your computer only that part mounts like an external memory stick. So you can just use your normal workflow from there on.
 
SNAPSEED by Nik software is free till Sunday i believe and it is a great tool :)
 
I use filter storm and photogene a lot. Also photoforge 2 ...might be being a bit thick but is there a way of putting photos onto the forum using the iPad app, I just can't work it out .
 
just been reading this thread and checking the apps out on itunes, think i need to save up for this lot! :) Ive only got 2 days till the ipad arrives... hohum :)
 
its arrived, and im about to clear my bank balance with this list of apps!

Thing is I've spent about that much on photography apps on my iPhone already lol so I just gotta transfer them to my iPad. Bonus!! Always on the look out for new ones though :-)

I recently invested in an eye-fi pro x2 card.

This little baby lets you wirelessly tether to your iPad while shooting and sends all of your raw and jpeg files within seconds of them being taken.

The best app to Link to the eye-fi is shutter snitch.

For a total of £110 including the app, I found this a must have!
 
It does sound great but I think you need 2 card slots in the camera for SDHC and eye-fi and it doesn't work with CF cards (although I have read that you can cut them down to size but I would not take that risk!!) so no good on my D700......pity its what I would like to do for studio work

The eye-fi also has 8gb built in storage, enough for a fair studio shoot.
So only one slot needed.

You cand buy cf adapters to make it fit the slots
 
This has probably been said already but i'm not too well and haven't read this thread well :)

Snapseed is free today :)
