Photos Application for iPad2

The iPad2 is controlled by just touching the screen. To access the photos application, just tap the photo tab and you can scroll through your photos. The pictures are arranged in albums and all you have to do is slide your finger on the screen to scroll through them. To open a picture, tap or pinch the photo and you will be able to view it widescreen. There is also a bar at the bottom of the screen so you can easily skin through your pictures. You are able to turn the iPad2 in any way, flip it over, vertically or horizontally. Your photo will turn with the screen. 

There is a tab on the upper right hand corner of the screen. This allows you to email pictures and send them to mobile phones. You can also assign them to contacts, so the picture you choose will be the picture of your contact. Photos can also be set as your wall paper. There is also the option to print and to copy the photo. To the left of that tab is another tab, which allows you to view a slideshow of the pictures. 

To make viewing pictures more entertaining, you can assign a soundtrack of your favourite reggae album from your library, and also choose from animated transitions. Pictures can be imported from a MAC or even a PC with the use of iTunes. The photos are arranged in order of events, faces and places. Under the events tab, the pictures are arranged in order of when they were taken.  The fireworks you took on New Years Eve from Coopers Hill would be in one folder, New Years Eve. 

 Under the faces tab, the photos are arranged in the order of who is in the picture. All the photos you took with your grandmother in St. Mary, would be in one folder, Grandma. 

Under the places tab, the pictures are arranged in the order of where they were taken. For example, all the pictures you took at Somerset Falls in Portland would be in one folder.

 Pictures can be uploaded directly to the iPad2 via the iPhone, camera or a SD card. The photos can be views by airplay- wirelessly. This means that is you have an Apple TV the pictures can be viewed on it. The pictures can be printed wirelessly with any air print compatible printer. The iPad2 allows for ease in viewing your pictures. With such a wide screen and a high quality, it will feel like you are holding the pictures right in your hand.
