rramesh Posted March 8, 2012 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) The new iPad launched yesterday offers a maximum screen resolution of 2047 x 1536 pixels. This would be a great device to view pictures taken on an M9 especially while on the road. Has anyone experienced using a device like this to view photos taken from an M9?

kdriceman Posted March 8, 2012 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2012 I use my ipad to view photos all the time. It is excellent, however, while it will import and save the raw DNG files, it will only display the JPEG's. So if you have shot DNG only and import that to your ipad it will display the low resolution jpeg that the camera generated for the LCD. To get the best viewing experience you should shoot DNG + JPEG Fine. You will get very nice images to view. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaBraz Posted March 8, 2012 Share #3 Posted March 8, 2012 Yes. iPad only shows jpeg's and not dng's. I usually photograph DNG+JPEG fine (in B&W) and iPad good for viewing in larger screen. Of course right now using the previous iPad not the new one. Useful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuca Posted March 8, 2012 Share #5 Posted March 8, 2012 The iPad shows DNGs by using the PhotoRaw app. exactly. and then you can export them in jpg, with various sizes and compressions. but beware, it takes more than 3 minutes to import a single dng with ipad 2... ipad3 will solve this issue for sure.

swamiji Posted March 9, 2012 Share #6 Posted March 9, 2012 ipad3 will solve this issue for sure. Not likely:( As it says on the Apple website: The Retina display on the new iPad wouldn’t be possible without the new and powerful A5X chip. It drives power to every one of the 3.1 million pixels in the display. In other words, it will about the same performance as the current iPad 2 or slightly faster, just with a much better screen. Everything else is marketing. Still too slow for PhotoRaw... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamiji Posted March 9, 2012 Share #9 Posted March 9, 2012 DId anyone try the new iPhoto? Can it read DNGs? It's downloadable now, using IOS 5.1. I will try this evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted March 9, 2012 Share #10 Posted March 9, 2012 Well that was a waste of $4.99. It's not compatible with the First Gen iPad. It is compatible with iPad 2, New iPad, iPhone 4 and 4S. So somebody else will have to pony up another $4.99 to test it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandymc Posted March 9, 2012 Share #11 Posted March 9, 2012 DId anyone try the new iPhoto? Can it read DNGs? So far as I can tell, on an iPad 2, no. On an M9 DNG, you get the (tiny) preview. It seems to be able to read some images (Nikon, Canon) at full res, but not Leica or Sony. Don't know why......more experiments required.....

If you know more about this, I would be curious about by how much it will cut the import time. I recall reading that the new processor is 4X faster than the old. If the processor is in fact 4X faster, that still means 45 seconds per photograph if the benefits of the faster processor are linear. If they are exponential, then maybe there is a much bigger reduction in import times. Thanks for highlighting the issue. Jack Siegel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Siegel PhotoRaw's import time is driven just as much by availability of RAM as processor speed. More RAM, less swapping to flash storage. As the new iPad increases RAM to 1G, it should be significantly faster on import. But I haven't got my hands on a production "new iPad" to test.

sanyasi Posted March 10, 2012 Share #15 Posted March 10, 2012 Has anyone used hyperdrive in conjunction with an iPad? My fears are now being confirmed by some post release reviews. Storage will be a problem for many iPad 3 users. App sizes are expected to triple in size for many apps. 64gb just isn't enough with raw files when traveling. Hyperdrive is being touted as a solution. It takes cf and SD cards, stores the data and connects to the iPad via camera connection kit. You can transfer from this drive to the iPad, but not the other way. Jack Siegel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
billib Posted March 10, 2012 Share #16 Posted March 10, 2012 When I watched the New iPad Keynote, Randy Ubillos was showing iPhoto. He stated "I can work with images up to 19 MegaPixels on the iPad". If you'd like to watch the Keynote speech and see, fast forward to 66 minutes. He states 19 MP's at 66 minutes and 12 seconds. Interesting!!! Use this Apple link and scroll to the bottom for the video. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
