menos I M6 Posted April 27, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 27, 2011 I have read about the app Today here: Photosmith organizes photos on iPad, syncs to Lightroom | Photography | iOS Central | Macworld So far, I have no iPad, as until now, it could not completely help me with the tasks, I can undertake with a Mac on the road. For simple assignments though, where having an image file container for backup to the cards + a simple first editing and rating tool for files on a bigger screen + sync with my preferred photo management tool (Adobe Lightroom), this looks very promising. I am still elaborating, whether I should get an iPad or not. The issue is, that as a sofa toy (as I saw it so far), one is rather affordable, but as soon, as one would want it as a serious machine, to take on travels, work AND store image files on the road for backup and editing, the biggest machine with wifi and 3G is on order, which goes directly into full laptop territory. I shot plan, shooting this years Le Mans fully in RAW format, which might end up with the first take in a rather big catalogue of unedited files. I don't plan, to take a laptop, as I would have to lug it around. An iPad would enable me, to backup, edit and upload a first take directly on the road without me having to lug a much heavier computer. Now it just needs, to work fluidly with native Nikon NEF files and Leica DNG files, create a compatible catalogue file for Lightroom, let me handle all original RAW files in a reasonably quick and easy filesystem for download and upload to an external storage device or a Mac and I am seriously thinking about it. What threw me off most about the iPad (since it has been revealed) is it's majorly flawed lack of a direct filesystem, to handle my own files - basically treating it as a Mac, fully compatible with OS X. I could then just keep the CF and SD cards just as backup and only touch them, if something goes seriously wrong with iPad/ Photosmith. I am very interested in people, sharing their findings and will look for reports, etc… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikschel Posted April 28, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 28, 2011 Photosmith doesn't handle Lightroom catalogues, it transfers images, metadata and collections to an existing Lightroom catalogue. Regarding Leica cameras: Up to now it also does not handle most in camera DNG file formats properly. This is an issue to be fixed with the next release of Photosmith.
