Experimental workflow

I tried something new here today. Usually I take pictures and import them directly from the camera or card into Adobe Lightroom 3 where they get cataloged, edited, and exported for use here.

Today I tried something a little more convoluted. I took this picture with my iPhone 4 and sent it to my iPad using PhotoSync, an iOS app designed to sync photos between iOS devices and computers over WiFi. On the iPad I adjusted it using Filterstorm 4, a photo editing app I wanted to check out. Then I sent it on to the MacBook Pro using PhotoSync again where I cataloged it in Lightroom and exported it for use here.

Filterstorm 4 does a pretty good job tweaking a picture, in some ways more intuitively than Adobe Lightroom 3 though the verdict is still out whether I like it better. Or better enough to go through the extra file handling steps. One advantage to working on the iPad is I can kick back and edit without firing up the MacBook Pro and hunching over a desk. We shall see...
