Over the past few weeks, I’ve been following the rumors floating around regarding the new iPad and what exactly the post-pc geniuses were planning to release. On Wednesday, March 7th, Apple revealed their widely anticipated 3rd generation device to the masses.
With this anticipation in mind, I’ve done my research and have decided to finally dive into the crazed apple market and purchase my first-ever iPad. However, my knowledge of the device is limited to only the iPhone iOS experience and thus decided to indulge myself in one of the STAR Lab workshops that feature iPhoto and iMovie. This first post will be primarily about iPhoto, with the following about iMovie.
Previous to this workshop, I knew very little about the application, and the only photo editing work i’ve done has been on my desktop with Photoshop. The workshop itself was great, it taught me the in’s and out’s of the iPad app and I feel prepared to use it now.
About the workshop:
I learned how to import photos to the iPad, which can be done by either syncing directly with the computer or via iCloud. Next, I learned how to edit: cropping, resizing the image and the canvas size, reducing red-eye, straitening and enhancing the picture, and simple additional brush techniques that add can add layers. Essentially, this felt like Photoshop for the iPad.
I created 4 pictures that looked surprisingly good. I was lucky enough to learn this on the iPad rather than the Macs they had in the lab, because a friend of mine was kind enough to let me use hers – thanks!
More to come in the next post about iMovie.
