I recently purchased the ipad 2 and was wondering about photography apps. If there are any ipad or ipad 2 users out there let me know about your experiences with any of the apps.
Lighttrac http://www.lighttracapp.com/ looks like a good one, but I was wondering if anyone has used it yet.
PS - the ipad 2 is probably the coolest computer related device I've ever used! It's very intuitive and does exactly what it's advertised to do.

Hi Scott,
I just found an application that can at least help you move photo's from your iPad2 to another computer or to a friend or from a desktop PC to your iPad2. Nice thing it's free and also works with any operating system. You can read more on DROPBOX.com
If you like the easy way dropbox lets you transfer files and photo's from one computer or mobile device to another, they will start you with 2GB of free space.
Thanks, Craig

The Photographer's Ephemeris is an absolute must. It uses the already amazing mapping ability of the iPad and adds colored lines to show you the direction of the sun and moon at rising and setting. Imagine going to Grand Canyon for the first time and knowing exactly where and when the sun will set that day. Crazy!
Photoshop Express is another must-have, and it's free.

Oh, PDFReader is a good... Um... Er... PDF reader. There are many photo guides sold by Ian Plant and others in PDF form, so you need a good reader. Also works with attachments to emails. Plus, you can open a browser on your pc/ mac, and the app on your iPad, and stuff your iPad full of PDFs via your wireless network. I have manuals galore on mine!
Last thought: I updated the iPhone and iPad to iOS 4.3 today, turned on Personal hotspot on my AT&T acct, and surfed all day on my iPad while at a Microsoft seminar. FINALLY we have that option!
Enjoy that thing, it's a load of fun. In fact, add in the amazing video payback capability, and you'll start watching stuff and wasting time, lol! I'm on mine typing this instead of SLEEPING!!

I was a beta-tester for TPE (The Photographer's Ephemeris), definitely a great tool. As is LightTrac - both are VERY valuable. Google Earth of course.
Easy Release (for model/property releases) is a great app, and has even more functionality in the iPad 2.
If we are looking at the whole process of managing files on an iOS device, including image files, I would strongly recommend ReaddleDocs. It enables you to create and manage files and folders on the device. It also reads PDFs, jpegs, Word and Excel docs, and has a built in browser. The browser lets you save files from web sites. It's a lot like a virtual flash drive attached to your iOS device.
The pdf viewer is better than anything else I've seen and is now my default.
You can move files to and from your desktop computer (Windows/OSX) via iTunes, or Wifi. You can download files from POP3 and IMAP mail servers. MobileMe, Dropbox, GoogleDocs are all in play as well.
I use it on my iPhone to move images off the generic camera roll into catalog-like folders.
for $5 a real bargain.

Thanks to everyone for the ipad app suggestions. I just downloaded TPE and Dropbox. They both look like great tools. I've been using GoodReader for ebook PDFs which seems to be working very well. I'm going to look into ReaddleDocs later today.
