Goin’ Mobile

With the acquisition of a new iPad 4, I’m gearing up to take on a whole new workflow; Tablet post-processing. 

The iPad 4’s retina display offers incredible resolution, and the ability to present my work in a myriad of ways. Not to mention all the other ways I can use it as a photographic and self-promotion tool. But there’s yet another way I can use it. 

After evaluating Photoshop Touch and iPhoto for the iPad, I can say without hesitation that these are apps that will make post-processing in the field a very real possibility. 

iPhoto is essentially Adobe Camera Raw for the iPad; non-destructive editing that can be used to produce an infinite number of iterations from a single master with the ability to revert back to the original at any time. 

Photoshop touch allows you to do destructive layer-based editing, with many of the features of its desktop sibling. 

Both approaches offer their advantages, but when I was able to correct the underexposed version of a bracketed exposure, and make it look better than properly exposed one, I knew that power was not to be taken lightly. 

The ability to shoot, process and upload from any location is a yet another amazingly cool thing made possible by Apple.
