I've had an android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1) for a couple
of years and, while I use it for displaying images, I've never
thought of it as a useful photo editing device. I'm wondering
whether I might be underestimating its capability.
So - just wondering if anyone is editing images on a tablet or iPad
and, if so, what apps are the most useful.
I do photo editing on the iPad mini occasionally, mostly when I'm traveling.
- "Photos" itself, the basic photo app provided with all iOS devices
does simple editing.
- For JPEG editing, "SnapSeed" used to be my standard, but since
they were bought by Google and through the last two-three revs
they've gone downhill fast. If they fix it, I'll go back to using
it. It has a very intuitive, straightforward interface, well
optimized for phone/tablet scale devices.
- "Photogene" is excellent. The UI is a bit clunky, but it has all
the features you'd like. It's somewhat like a Photoshop Elements for
the iPad.
- "AnalogFilm" is another I use occasionally. It does a good job of
rendering a capture with the iPad or iPhone into a film-like image.
- I mostly work on JPEGs, but "PhotoRAW" does an excellent job of
raw conversion for many different raw image formats. It outputs to
TIFF or JPEG, which the other imaging apps can use.
- I use "Keynote" to assemble photographs into slide shows, and
"iMovie" to make self-running slide shows. These are the iOS
equivalents of the same software on OS X, so the files slide back
and forth between the platforms easily.
If you want to go minimalist, you can do a heckuva lot with an iPad
and JPEG images.
Thanks for the feedback, Godfrey. Minimalist is good!
I mightn't have been entirely clear with the question. I have an
android tablet so I'm not proposing to get an iPad at this stage, but
I was interested in the practicalities of using a tablet/iPad for
editing.
Like you, I'm also looking at using the tablet for some ad hoc photo
editing while travelling. I would normally have my laptop, but later
in the year I'll be doing a tour in north-west Australia where the
amount of luggage will be limited so the laptop will probably need to
stay at home.
I think I've got a workable backup strategy using the Samsung but I
might want to do a bit of photo editing as well, hence the question.
Based on your feedback I think I can do what I want even if the apps
you use aren't available on android. The exception is Snapseed, which
I already have but have never actually used - time to try it out,
along with Photoshop Touch which, strangely, I also seem to have. I
certainly can't recall downloading it.
Thanks again.
