Photos  Made Easy On My iPad

 

 This month's contest   Your Best TECHO Secrets - that make your Personal and Professional Life Easier!  is one I am looking forward to all the entries.

 

My best techo secret was the one I wrote about last month...

Good Things Come In Small Packages 

I don't leave home without my camera or this cute little tool. Since it is so small and could be easily lost, I  wrote my name and number on the connector and it fits nicely in my little camera pouch.

 

Cute little tool

My preference is taking photos with a camera not with the iPad or iPhone.

 This tiny device allows me to take the SD card out of the camera, place it into this little square connection and place the connection into the iPad. In seconds all photos from the camera are downloaded to the iPad and also to the iPhone. Blogging completely with the iPad is possible with the use of this tool.

Since I wrote about the cute little connector in May, I will share another program for June's contest.

 SNAPSEED is an iPad app, that allows you to crop, sharpen straighten, control color, enhance and even frame photos.

Using this photo of my new listing at   8207 Marcie Dr in Stevenson,

I took a screen shot of the snapseed program and uploaded it ...take a look.

 

 

 Snapseed app

 

 

Snapseed  is easy to use and changes can be made to photos while at a home inspection, in a boring meeting or a passenger in the car.

I no longer mind waiting and as long as my iPad is with me...

I can work and play.

Hi Margaret - Excellent pick. I've been using Snapseed for about a year, and while I have other iPad photo editing programs, it's the one I keep coming back to - it's very easy to use and can produce some really dramatic results.

Hi Margaret,

This is great news as I have been looking for something to edit on my iPad and the regular ones I use on my computer like Ribbet and iPiccy will not work on the iPad. Thanks for letting us know.

Larry and Sheila, I think you will like it.

You are so observant Ms. Hanson.

Gloria, One step at a time to get that foot out.

Kristin, That's why this program is so good.  I am still looking for that iPiccy type app  that works on the iPad.

Margaret, I have one of those gizmos as well and couldn't live without it.  I ordered mine online and found it a lot less expensive than in the stores.
