That's a matter of opinion.
on that i agree
I don't find it confusing or complex, nor
do several million other people from the reports and feedback on the
iOS devices.
i doubt there really several million doing photo workflows like we're talking
about, but there are an awful lot of people who have been daunted transferring
photos to iPad (iCloud has helped), and i've seen lots of forum threads where
people hadn't figured out how to selectively delete via Image Capture
a key point is that these channels are mutually exclusive — if you switch
channels you delete all the photos from the other without warning
Yes. You pick ONE methodology and stick with it. There's little point
to requiring that all things must allow every possible methodology to
be used simultaneously.
by that argument, i shouldn't consider moving from Aperture to Lightroom, which
is exactly what is causing this restriction to be quite a pickle for me, as the
transition will not be absolute nor immediate; what galls me is the restriction
seems to have no logical basis; it seems designed to force me to use Aperture
for everything (i may wind up with a Lightroom -> Aperture -> [iTunes] ->
iDevice workflow)
is there a way to update an exported folder automatically from Lightroom
whenever a set changes? [...]
Lightroom allows creating published folders on your hard drive. As you
add or subtract things from the published folders and publish them,
they are updated on disk ...
if you are saying Lightroom can automatically update exported folders on disk
as smart set (or LR equivalent term) contents change, then that will help
If you need more capability than that, there are dozens of other image
portfolio apps available that will allow you to do significantly more
rearrangement and tweaking of your image files on the iPad.
in the part of my workflow from camera to iPad to computer, on the iPad i'll
mainly want to tag, plus a little cropping and checking exposure potential; i'm
not sure yet which apps, if any, can write EXIF or otherwise carry tags over to
the computer (into Lightroom or Aperture); Photosmith and iPhoto maybe, but do
you know of others?
