Harvell - iPad for Photographers

Throughout the writing of this book I have sought the opinions and advice of a wide range of professionals across many disciplines. From photographers to journalists, software developers to web designers, their help has been invaluable and I thank each one of you. Special thanks should go to Corey Rich for refusing to let 10,000 feet and time zones prevent his contributions and to Frederick Van Johnson for putting up with one of the longest email chains I have ever been involved in. Also, thanks should go to the wonderful and understanding Hayley Shore for putting up with the late nights, constant keyboard tapping and my endless out loud thinking.

Photographers were always going to make a beeline for the iPad. It was inevitable. With its lustrous screen and portability, it was the obvious replacement for outdated and weighty traditional portfolios. The attraction doesnt stop at jaw-dropping looks and perfect proportions thoughthe iPad is much more than a glorified digital photo frame. In fact, the iPad is a constantly developing platform, and through the apps available in the App Store, is far more than even that, as this book will show you.

The iPad will serve you well as a virtual assistant, a portable editing suite, social media hub and a high-end previewing tool and storage facility.

These pages aim to equip you with the knowledge you need to utilize all the opportunities your iPad makes available and in turn will save you time and money, as well as making your workflow more enjoyable.

The Ultimate Accessory

Viewing photos on the iPad is simply a magical experiencethe ability to simply reach out, touch a photograph, move it around and smoothly zoom in and out of it gives a level of interaction that has simply changed how we look at images. While the principles behind a great shot will never change, new technology has undoubtedly changed the way we take, develop, edit, and of course view our images. The speed in which we take, process, edit, and share our images is truly staggering, with social networking now an import part of how photographers work, high speed internet connections pretty much everywhere, and more advanced software all contributing. The iPad is an important part of this and has quickly established itself as the ultimate accessory for the modern photographer. This book aims to show you just how useful the iPad is and weve even drafted in a gaggle of top professional photographers who show you how their iPads have improved their work.
