Great App for the iPad

As a photographer I was really impressed with with Photogene on the iPhone. It allowed me to take quick photographs “on the fly” with my phone which I always carry with me. I could then make quite dramatic changes to the images using Photogene and then upload them to Facebook or the many other options for getting photographs online via mobile uploads. Here is an example of a photograph tweaked with Photogene that was taken, edited and uploaded during an early morning walk last year.

Well now there is the iPad version! With all that extra screen area available on the iPad and the vast array of tools in this application, editing photographs is a real joy. Have a look at the video from uTube and you will see what I mean.

Of course the iPad doesn’t have a built in camera so you need to get your image files across to the iPad first. There are so many ways to do this and I will cover that in a separate post. Many critics bemoan the lack of a built in camera but the iPad isn’t meant to be lugged around to take photographs now is it?

That would not be a very viable option at all!

I can see how a web cam would be useful but not a stills camera ….

There is an app that allows you to take photographs remotely, controlling the iPhone camera from the iPad which is pretty cool. I can see a few creative opportunities there which again I will cover in another post.

There are new applications appearing every day for the iPad and some really interesting ones for photographers and other visual artists … I will keep you posted on the best ones I find.

If anyone else has found a great app post a comment and share it.
