[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Here's my own conclusion. Obviously YMMV and some people are suffering from severe dislocation in the time-space continuum, or just can't read. :-( Anyway... 1. Experimenting with Revel, iPhoto and Photoforge (which were the leading finalists) gave me one or more fits, so while they'll probably stay installed, I doubt I'll use them at all. 2. Using Snapseed some more still leaves me feeling that of the iPad solutions this is probably the best match of features and UI (for me). 3. NONE of these is a solution for a good laptop. 4. NO laptop that I can afford and that I can carry when really traveling is a substitute for a good desktop. ....and, ironically.... 5. I decided I'm going to find a way to make room for my old but recently upgraded M1330 XPS and take a laptop with me. I got some cover on that from the fact that my wife, who had been in a very anti-laptop mood, decided that she had to take hers in order to keep up with students' coursework and tests while we're in the UK. :-D So there it is...thanks all.

I must have missed the initial inquiry because this is a subject with which I have some experience. I have several apps on my iPad, including PS Touch, PhotoRaw and Snapseed. I have also tried (and deleted) a couple of other apps for photo processing. When apps cost so little, one has the luxury of just trying them in this manner. I have settled on Snapseed for the editing. It has the best combination of capabilities and user interface for me. Because I shoot RAW, and because Snapseed does not support all RAW formats (in particular, it does not support Leica M8), I may need to use PhotoRaw to import the image first. These four photos were processed in this way and uploaded to Smugmug via Photosync: http://www.greatpix.eu/Other/PhotoSync/ So it can definitely be done, but I would not want to process hundreds of photos on an iPad. It is more for occasional use. I will be taking my iPad along on a bicycle tour in Denmark next week--a laptop is too heavy for that. One of the intended uses is to upload some pictures along the way, but it will be just a couple each evening, with serious processing to be done on a proper computer when I return.
