I’ll often edit images on the iPad while on the road, for posting to the web or sending back home, but in general, I don’t do serious image editing on the iPad.

There are a couple of great image editing applications for the iPad, most notably Google’s Snapseed, which is now free. Image editing, on the other hand, is the process of correcting and adjusting your image to get it ready for final output. I also include rating and selecting in this category. Metadata editing is the process of tagging your images with location information, notes, comments, and ownership info. You can divide post-production into two major categories: metadata editing, and image editing. However, thanks to recent software changes there’s a lot of useful photo-related work that I can do on the iPad. However, it also doesn’t let me run my usual photo workflow, which is based around Photoshop and Bridge. While I love the tiny size of my 13″ MacBook Air, the fact is that it doesn’t fit very well into a motorcycle bag, is a hassle to take through international airports, and doesn’t fare very well in harsher climates like dusty deserts, or dripping rain forests.īy comparison, the iPad is small, doesn’t flex, doesn’t get damaged if you set heavy things on top of it, is fairly impervious to dust, is hard to damage by water, and doesn’t have to be taken out of a bag when going through airport security.

I travel a lot, through a variety of environments and situations, and almost always with a concern for traveling as light as possible. Depending on your post needs, you might now be able to get away with taking only your camera and an iPad into the field.

Over the last few months, though, a few new apps have hit the store, and they’ve brought some important new post-production capabilities. Unfortunately, for the first few years of the iPad’s existence, the software did not exist to facilitate a pro-level workflow. For the traveling photographer-or anyone who shoots in the field-the release of the iPad offered the possibility of a much lighter, easier field kit.
