Hi Hugh, Looking through my Documents; I then remembered when I was travelling around the country taking lots of photos on my Sony Camera, how I used to then import the photos from my Sony onto my iPad using Apple Camera Connection Kit. This way you don't loose any quality as the photos import to the iPad Photos at full resolution. Viewing on the iPad is beautiful.
Amazingly enough, the iPad supports the same raw files that your Mac does. You can upload these files from your camera to the iPad and they will appear as regular photos in the Photos app, Keynote, and third-party applications. When you transfer the images off the iPad to your Mac, they will maintain their full raw integrity. If you email them from the iPad, however, they will be attached as a converted full-sized JPEG instead of a raw file. Because raw files take up more space than JPEGs, you will want to move them off your iPad as soon as possible. But what about those great raw shots that you want to keep on the iPad for sharing with others? There’s a terrific solution called Raw+JPEG. If you require more details about a Raw+JPEG workflow for the iPad, post back and I can give you the information. When I upgraded my iPad to the iPad Retina Display I had to purchase a Lightning to 30-pin Adaptor so I can use my Camera Connection Kit to connect to the Lightning connection on the iPad. Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit $35 <http://store.apple.com/au/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit> Lightning to 30-pin Adaptor $35 for iPhone 5, iPad (4th generation) Retina Display, iPad mini, iPod nano 7th Generation & iPod Touch 5th Generation 32GB/64GB <http://store.apple.com/au/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=3a> With a camera full of images and the iPad Camera Connection Kit in hand, follow these steps: 1. Insert the camera’s SD card into the SD card adapter, or connect a USB cable between the camera and the USB adapter. 2. Unlock the iPad if it’s currently asleep, and plug the adapter into the iPad’s dock connector. After a few seconds, the Photos app launches, and a new Camera button appears on the bar at the top of the screen. Thumbnails of the available photos and video clips appear below. 3. Now, do one of the following: *To copy all of the items to the iPad, tap the Import All button. *To be more selective, tap the items you wish to import; a blue checkmark symbol indicates the item is queued for import. Once you’ve made your selections, tap the Import button; the app gives you one last chance to import all items, or you can import just the selected ones. 4. After the transfer is complete, you’re asked if you want to delete the imported items from the camera or keep them. Tap the Keep button—it’s usually better to format memory cards within the camera instead. The photos and videos are found in two new albums: All Imported and Last Import (which shows just the most recent imported images). --------- You might be interested in reading this: "How to achieve Retina display-worthy photos for the new iPad" <http://www.macworld.com/article/1167865/how_to_achieve_retina_display_worthy_photos_for_the_new_ipad.html> Cheers, Ronni 17" MacBook Pro 2.3GHz Quad-Core i7 “Thunderbolt" 2.3GHz / 8GB / 750GB @ 7200rpm HD OS X 10.8.4 Mountain Lion Windows 7 Ultimate (under sufferance) On 07/08/2013, at 10:17 AM, Ronda Brown <ro...@mac.com> wrote: > Hi Hugh, > > No, iTunes automatically optimizes the photos for the best viewing on the > iPad. > As far as I know there is no way to override this feature. > > I'll search through all my documents when I can find time to see if you have > any options. > If I find any information I'll get back to you. > > Cheers, > Ronni > Sent from Ronni's iPad4 > > On 07/08/2013, at 10:07 AM, hugh griffiths <hgr...@hotmail.com> wrote: > >> Thanks Ronni, so does that mean I should turn off optimisation some how? >> >> Best Regards >> Hugh Griffiths >> >> mobile +61 407 477 311 >> >> On 07/08/2013, at 9:32 AM, "Ronni Brown" <ro...@mac.com> wrote: >> >>> Hi Hugh, >>> >>> During a sync, iTunes “optimizes” photos before copying them to the iPad, >>> which means they’re resized and converted so the original high-resolution >>> versions don’t slow performance in the Photos app. >>> >>> Photos are resized to no more than 1536 pixels on the shortest side and no >>> more than 2304 pixels on the longest side (so, a horizontal picture could >>> be something like 2048 pixels wide by 1536 pixels tall, while a vertical >>> shot would be 1536 pixels wide and 2048 pixels tall). >>> Images are also converted to JPEG files, which compresses the image data >>> without noticeable degradation of detail. >>> >>> Cheers, >>> Ronni >>> >>> On 07/08/2013, at 8:08 AM, hugh griffiths <hgr...@hotmail.com> wrote: >>> >>>> Hi, i have an imac 10.6.8 with iphoto 11 (9.2.3) and itunes 11.04.
