sanyasi Posted June 8, 2011 Share #3 Posted June 8, 2011 Slightly Off Point: I've looked at a number of these photo apps (like the three from Photoshop). They are cute, but don't interest me as editing tools. What I would like to see from Lightroom or Aperture or someone else is some way to do true tethered shooting. That would be a useful application. Along these lines, I just read an interview with somebody at Adobe (it might have been the CEO), who said there is more power on the iPad than was on the computers in the early days of Photoshop. That suggests to me that photographers should be demanding more than toys. I suspect in time, but the sooner the better.

prk60091 Posted June 8, 2011 Share #4 Posted June 8, 2011 My goal is to create an image that I like (and hopefully one that someone else enjoys as well). How I get there is immaterial (ie by manipulating curves or fiddling with levels) or sliding a finger across an iPad. This program (ie app) does the job as well as many others.

The moment my ipad is more capable.of getting me "there", I'll switch and chuck out my 27" iMac, LR, NIK SEP, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photon42 Posted June 12, 2011 Share #7 Posted June 12, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have downloaded Snapseed a day ago and while I'm not through all tweaking possibilities yet, it appears to be an excellent editing tool for simple to medium complex image improvement tasks. Of course no replacement for something like PS, LR or a Raw converter. Unfortunately it does not convert DNGs - did not try with others yet, but I have yet to see something like that on the iPad. The iPad by itself is flawed for any sort of larger organized editing tasks, as it does not come with a commonly accessible file system, just like e.g. la concurrence de petit robot vert. Plus no built-in Raw support. Try for instance editing of Dropboxed files. Each app needs a specific interface. What a mess. Everything you save goes to "saved Images". You can't just create a new folder or order criterion. I'm sure all this will be addressed in iOS6 and be sold as new technology "local iShare". There was a time when there were just Macs, and they were based on BSD (and NEXTSTEP). So what is the use case? If you shoot JPEG and want to do some postprocessing (comparable to darkroom tasks) for uploading and/or presentation, this Snapseed one is really nice. It deals with larger JPEGs reasonably quick and the user interface is very intuitive and easy to operate. It is still an impressive package.

air Posted June 23, 2011 Share #8 Posted June 23, 2011 Just downloaded snapseed and like it! The actual version supports RAW as well (at least they say so ) But I was not yet able to open M9-files. I transfer the DNGs via camera connection to my iPad. But within snapseed I just can open the little embeded JPGs I have found out that the location-services need to be activated (though I don't know why) but anyway - no success Best Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted June 23, 2011 Share #9 Posted June 23, 2011 I transfer the DNGs via camera connection to my iPad. But within snapseed I just can open the little embeded JPGs There was only one review for the latest version when I looked earlier this evening, and that said that the app only used the embedded jpeg. So no actual RAW processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for something like PhotoRaw (which is actually not bad) The Snapseed-functionality combined with the PhotoRaw-Processing would be nice Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Photon42 Posted June 26, 2011 Share #13 Posted June 26, 2011 Nik Snapseed support says that RAW capabilities are linked to the iOS - but there were unable to tell me what formats are supported As for the iPad1 (which I happen to have), it is only capable of processing images up to 6.25 MPix, another useless funny limitation of my favorite notebook producer.

ldhrads Posted July 5, 2011 Share #14 Posted July 5, 2011 I played with this on iPad2 over the weekend, It's an impressive interface, but I can't figure out how to get to the RAW images. I shoot RAW + jpeg with the jpegs in B+W so it was frustrating not to have any color images to play with over the last week!! Anyone figure this out yet?

sandymc Posted July 5, 2011 Share #15 Posted July 5, 2011 I played with this on iPad2 over the weekend, It's an impressive interface, but I can't figure out how to get to the RAW images. You can't. Right now, there are only two apps available that actually support raw images on the iPad/iPhone - PhotoRaw and piRAWnha. Sandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ldhrads Posted July 5, 2011 Share #16 Posted July 5, 2011 I spoke to someone at NIK today and explained that I've been shooting RAW+JPEG and that I imported to my ipad2 via the camera connection kit, but that snapseed only would work/see with the JPEG. The nice young lady there suggested that I try shooting RAW only and importing that way, she insisted that the program is RAW capable and that the problem may be that the program is "seeing" the JPEG and importing that because its a smaller file. I'll try some in the next day or two and see what happens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_newell Posted July 27, 2011 Share #19 Posted July 27, 2011 Given the fact that the iPad display can't be adjusted for profiles, and the relatively modest RAM available to apps, I have to say that even though I love my iPad, it doesn't seem like a good platform for editing pix, jpg or otherwise. YMMV, and I'd actually love to hear reasons why someone thinks I'm wrong about that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
