spylaw4 Posted July 28, 2012 Share #1 Posted July 28, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) I suppose this is probably the right place for this? If not - move it! What I can't find - and maybe it doesn't exist or is not possible (Thanks, Apple) - is a simple Asset Management tool for iPad photos. I find it annoying that they are imported in what seems to me a random order and I don't seem to able to move them into the corect order. Am I missing something, or can anyone point me to an App for this? Many thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Hi spylaw4, Take a look here iPad Photo Editor. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
spylaw4 Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share #2 Posted July 29, 2012 Obviously not! I did find one that goes some way towards it in that it allows sorting by various headings e.g. Date, size etc. (PhotoMgrPro if you are interested). But still does not allow what one might call random sort for a slideshow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaBraz Posted July 29, 2012 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2012 Guess the only way is doing your iPad selection through LR4 (don't know whether possible through Aperture or CaptureOne). For LR4 there are a few tutorials on how to do it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thighslapper Posted July 29, 2012 Share #4 Posted July 29, 2012 Nope. Hunted high and low. Plenty pretty basic and useless JPG manipulation progs. Nil for display and nil usable for viewing DNG's Every few months I have a hunt more in hope than expectation...... The iPad file system and lack of processing power make it just a very basic Photo Slideshow viewer at best..... Having said all that it is very useful that you can take pictures OF the iPad..... I used to use my iPad as en electronic OS map when walking ..... now I set up the route and take a photos of it with my 90/4 and view the maps on my M9 instead .... iPad gets left at home Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandymc Posted July 29, 2012 Share #5 Posted July 29, 2012 Nil for display and nil usable for viewing DNG's PhotoRaw will handle DNGs. It doesn't have slideshow or sorting capabilities however. Sandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted July 30, 2012 I think I've found another possibility. If it does what it says on the tin, then Sort My Photos may well be the solution as it allows manual sort. More later after I've tried it out.

Well it seems to work ok, but of course only within itself as far as I can see. Still it does mean one can select the photo order that one wants.

algrove Posted August 4, 2012 Share #10 Posted August 4, 2012 On a thread with a similar topic it was mentioned that DNG software for the iPad was very slow at best, like 10 minutes per image if I recall correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not nearly that bad - an M8 image will import in plus/minus 16 seconds on a iPad 2 using the latest version of PhotoRaw, depending on what else is running at the time. But try for yourself - PhotoRaw Lite is free, and supports all the cameras that the full version supports. Sandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted August 4, 2012 Share #12 Posted August 4, 2012 Maybe I don't understand the question correctly. If you want to change the order of photos ON the iPad, a little trickier but I think there are some Portfolio Apps (for less than $12 US or so) that can do this. I don't understand why many of the replies in this thread are talking about DNGs when I don't see this being brought up in the OPs original query. Now to sort photos and then get them to your iPad from your Mac IN A SPECIFIC ORDER is relatively simple. I use Lightroom and Create a "New Collection" by simply hitting the + sign, giving it a name and hitting Return. I then simply drag images from the Library in LR into the new collection (DNGs, TIFFs, whatever). When I have all the images dragged into this mini Portfolio (for lack of a better term), while in the Collection I hit command-A (which selects all the images) and hit "Export". In the Export Panel I have created a Pre-set for my iPad which exports all the images to A Folder on my Desktop (which I can then give a name) at a specific size, resolution (72 PPI), Jpeg, Standard Sharpening and at Best Quality. Once the Folder is created, I then manage the order of the images by renaming the jpegs, 1_Name.jpeg, 2_Name.jpeg and so on. I import the new folder into my Pictures folder (on the Mac), connect my iPad and through iTunes Sync the Pictures Folder. The new mini Portfolio will appear in the Photos Camera Roll with the name of the Folder I gave it on my Mac, on my iPad. Again, once on the iPad and in the Photos App, you cannot move or even delete the images. Why???? I have no idea, but it would be a great function to have. If at a later date you want to change the order or delete images, go to the Pictures Folder on the Mac, find the Folder of images, delete or reorganize the images via the system I outlined above, resync to the iPad where it will ask you if you want to Replace the Folder (YES!) and you're done. Not the simplest or most elegant system but it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share #13 Posted August 4, 2012 Thanks for that William. As you say a little complicated. And yes I was only referring to jpegs. I have however found a portfolio app Foliobook. This allows one to set up effectively a series of nested folders/galleries aka ones website and within each folder one can sort photos . Job done! Thanks to all that took the trouble to respond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WPalank Posted August 4, 2012 Share #14 Posted August 4, 2012 No Problem. Re: Foliobook, yeh, that's the one I was thinking of that got good reviews and the $12 US stuck in my head. Just didn't have time to look. Another App that gets good reviews is "Photo Manager Pro": App Store - Photo Manager Pro Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted August 6, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted August 6, 2012 Yes Foliobook is actually quite a good App. Needs a little more work to make it a "killer" but IMO it's about the best out there. PhotoManagerPro is not bad, but IIRC it does not permit one to sort into an order of your own choosing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
