iPad Photos - The Best Way to Look at Your iPad Photos

iPad Photos: Tap, pinch, and flick through your photos

With the built-in Photos app on iPad, you can see and touch your photos in intuitive new ways. Your photo albums appear as tidy little stacks you can pinch to preview. Tap a stack, and the whole album opens up. From there you can scroll through thumbnails. Tap to view full screen. Or flip through photos one at a time.

iPad Photos: Photos perfect

The gorgeous 9.7-inch iPad display shows off your photos in vivid color with excellent brightness and contrast. It uses a premium technology called IPS (in-plane switching) to provide an extremely wide viewing angle, so friends and family can crowd around your iPad and still get a great view.

iPad Photos: Truly moving photos

When you rotate iPad, your picture rotates, too, so you can show it off any way you want. Flip iPad over to share a snapshot with the person across from you, then flip it back to share with someone sitting next to you. You can even create and play your own slideshows, complete with music and animated transitions. Place iPad in the optional iPad Dock, turn it on, and enjoy the spectacle from across the room. When you want to share photos from afar, email them or publish them to the web using MobileMe with just a tap or two.

iPad Photos: Never forget a face (or a place)

iPad works seamlessly with Faces and Places in iPhoto for the Mac, so you can view your photos not only by date and event but also by who’s in them and where they were taken. Want to see all the pictures of your daughter? Tap her picture in Faces view and open an entire album full of photos of her. To see all the photos you snapped in London, tap the Places button and tap London. Your stack of photos appears above the London pin, and you can pinch or tap to view them. You can even focus in on specific locations like Trafalgar Square or Big Ben.

iPad Photos: Get your photos to iPad in a flash

There are lots of ways to get your photos into your iPad. You can sync photos from your Mac or PC using iTunes. You can import photos directly from your camera or its SD card using the optional iPad Camera Connection Kit. And you can save photos from email to your iPad photo library.

Tips: You can send iPad photos to your friend with iPad Mail.
