Turn Your iPad Into a Hand-Held Dark Room

Apple's iPad isn't just a fun tablet where you can play Angry Birds or check the news. The iPad can also be your very own dark room. Using a simple USB connector to the iPad, you can transfer over your photos from any digital camera into the iPad in a flash. The iPad is much more portable than any laptop so it makes editing photos on the go that much easier.

The cables to connect the camera to the iPad range from about $10 to $30. There are also many apps that have been developed ranging from about $5 to $20. With the simpler apps, you can change the contrast, brightness or saturation. Apple's iPhoto application also lets you apply filters like sepia for a "vintage" look. The more advanced apps offers controls such as layering, curves, and the ability to add text.

Obviously, the newer iPads with retina display will be the best choice when it comes to editing because it gives such a clear picture. However it does come with a hefty price tag. With the combination of high quality photography from the cameras at the SMDC, and the knowledge and practice of the photo editing apps on the iPad, amazing creations are sure to come.
