About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

John - perhaps "processed" is not the right word inasmuch as when one connects a SD memory card to the iPad (with the card adapter), the iPad recognizes and displays all of the files on that card to include RAW files. You can then save a picture (or pictures) to an album on the iPad where they can be viewed (embiggened).

I have an app, Photogene, which can then be used to further process an image with Photoshop-type editing tools.. Photogene has a nice set of tools to include; sharpening, noise reduction, curves, white balance / tint, exposure, saturation, spot cloning, dodge/burn, masking overlays, histogram, rotate / straighten, crop, and enhancement tools (vignette / blur / frames / etc.).

While I am not about to do any critical or finished work on the iPad, Photogene does do a decent enough job of on-the-spot/go editing - especially so considering its $2.99USD price tag.
