Chapter 13. iPhoto on the iPad

iPhoto isn’t just for Macs anymore. These days you can use it on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. As long as the device is running iOS 7—the software that powers Apple’s mobile gadgets—you can hold iPhoto’s organizational and image-editing prowess in the palm of your hands.

This development is exciting because it releases you from the shackles of your desk. The iPad in particular sports a screen that’s perfectly suited for displaying and editing your photos while you’re away from your main machine. Imagine flying home from Fiji and having your pictures perfected before you hit baggage claim, or parking at your favorite coffee shop and whipping up a web journal (an online digital scrapbook—see Web Journals).

iPhoto for iOS lets you do all those things and more. You can use it to upload photos to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter; design and order hardcover books, prints, panoramas, or posters; create slideshows; and beam pictures onto other iOS devices or pass them off to iPhoto-friendly iOS apps like iMovie.

You’ve already learned most of what you need to know to use iPhoto on your iPad, though this version of the program has significantly different controls. This chapter gives you an overview of what you can do with iPhoto for iOS; explains how to get photos onto your iPad; and teaches you how to view, compare, flag, tag, and create slideshows from your shots.
