This makes the iPhoto app barely usable for our many images at least. We don't know what it is about but it is quite disturbing as it can take a while (guess 30-60 seconds) and happens too often (both on iPhone and iPad). We have about 4,000 images in our photo library and frequently get the annoying message "Updating Photo Library". There are many third party apps that feature more advanced effects (e.g. There are quite a few different effects to select. Edge aware means the strokes only target areas with similar color and brightness like the color first touched. You can even tune the density of the corrections and show the strokes (red).įurther you can erase brush strokes and make them edge aware. This allows quite powerful dodge & burn fine tuning.

You paint with your fingers or a capacitive stylus the different types of corrections (shown above). We often want to tweak the sky and foliage. We find both the WB and saturation settings very helpful.

With iOS 5.1 you should be able to remove single images from the Photo Stream to keep more space in the iCloud. Here you find all your images from your Photo Stream. Here you find all the images you beamed to this device.Īll pictures from the camera or exported from editing apps stay here and can be transferred to your desktop computers. If you plan to export the results you need to export the images to the Camera Roll. Once you edit a photo it will be placed into the "Edited" album. IPhoto keeps actually the original files for all the edited photos. The top four albums are special and the first two even new:

On the iPhone it is hard to decipher longer Album names though. The UI looks a bit more slick than with the Photos app. Where can you find the newly beamed photos? iPhoto creates a special folder with the name "Beamed". On the iPad you have to accept receiveing the image(s):

Touch the beam button, select the image(s) you want to beam and then select the target device. iPhoto has also to run on the iPad and needs to be active to accept the beamed photo. We initiate the beaming from the iPhone from inside the iPhoto app. Beaming without network was much slower than using our WiFi network. We tried this without any network connection and it seemed to work but did not do any more investigations. You can send photos from one iOS device to a different one (e.g. iPhoto for the iPad (iPad 2 and the new iPad but not iPad 1) allows to organize your photos and adds new editing capabilities.Īctually iPhoto also works on our iPhones 4S and 4.Ī nice new feature is Photo Beaming. This is probably what the Photos app should have been in the first place. Review Notes by Uwe + Bettina SteinmuellerĪpple released now a special version of iPhoto for the iPad.
