I know, it’s not Aperture specifically, but it’s close enough, yeah? ;-)
My new iPhoto for iPad course is now available! The more I use this app, the more I love it. I actually just finished working the Photokina trade show, and one of the presentations I did there was on iPhoto for iPad. The audience ate it up! It was one of my most well-attended presentations of the show (I did four there… eek!). Here’s the journal I published as part of the demo of a fancy new Mercedes SLS on loan to a photographer buddy. Sweet.
The draw is simple — it’s fun, easy, and quick to get images in, processed, and out. Of course there’s still no great solution for moving from iPhoto for iPad to Aperture (all you can do is export final images and have originals plus finals in Aperture), but other than that it’s pretty great. And it’s hard to beat the price!
Check out the new iPhoto for iPad training and as always you can watch a few videos for free. And for a limited time, you can get 20% off as an introductory offer — just enter the code IPHOTO20 on checkout. Oh, and watch the trailer below!

Joseph, I've had iPhoto on my iPad for some time now, but never use it. I got used to Snapseed for editing and can't break away. I'll check out a couple of videos and see what I'm missing - good stuff!
Thanks Jim! It is a cool app, and I tend to go between iPhoto and Snapseed. More iPhoto for organizing and image correction; Snapseed for image enhancement/looks, etc.

Unable to purchase new IPhoto video using PayPal. Also went to application on Ipad to purchase it no luck what's up
Rick,
These videos are distributed by video2brain, not by me directly. I don't know if they take PayPal or not, but it sounds like they don't from what you're saying.
My account on the video2brain iPad app is different than yours in that I have access to everything; I can't see what the buying process is like, or if it's even possible from the iPad app? Funny, I should probably know that…
Please email help@video2brain.com and feel free to copy me on it. Any purchasing issues I'm afraid they will have to help you with; it's out of my hands.
Thanks for your interest in the product, and don't forget to use the discount code!
cheers

Joseph, without giving too much away could you speak to the interoperability between iOS iPhoto and Aperture? I haven't bought iPhoto because I work in RAW pretty much exclusively and last I checked there was little to no for it in iPhoto.
To be honest, if I can sync an Aperture library to my iPad, flag photos in iPhoto and have them show up as flagged in Aperture when I sync back that'd be worth the 5 bucks alone. Do you know if it works that way?
If you need a raw converter for IOS you may try this:https://sites.google.com/site/iphotoraw/
I'm really just looking for something where I can sync an Aperture library to iOS, make real basic nondestructive adjustments (cropping/straightening, metadata) and have them show up as nondestructive adjustments to the RAW versions in Aperture the next time I sync. If it works with JPEG in the iOS app that's fine, as long as the changes are made to the RAW file when I sync back to the Mac.
Jesse,
Sadly there is virtually zero connectivity between iPhoto for iPad and Aperture (or iPhoto for Mac). I have to believe this is coming; it's just way too great of a piece of software, and the iPad is way too important of a product for Apple, for that not to be coming. But unfortunately that's just speculation.
I don't discuss working with other software in the video (mainly because there isn't an easy answer), but what I do when I'm working with iPhoto on iPad is simply export all my edited images to the Camera Roll, which are then synced to Aperture automatically via Photo Stream, and then assuming I'm going to re-import the originals into Aperture I can then drag those into the same project, or if I'm skipping Aperture all together, I'll now have the edited images in Aperture (again via Photo Stream).
I should come up with a consistent workflow for this to be honest. :-)
RAW images are handled in iPhoto by way of reading their embedded JPEG files. The RAW is left untouched, but the JPEG is extracted and edited.
