iPhoto for iOS hands-on preview

2012-03-07
well hey guys it's David with the version we're here looking at Apple's new iphoto app just released it's a much more powerful photo editing app than anything that's been on the iPad or iPhone before and it's it actually has a lot of the stuff that we're used to from the desktop version so you can see photos from your camera roll and you get all your photos over here plus the one that you're editing actually in the shot and you get a surprising number of features you can and it's all multi-touch based so you can rotate photos you can change some of the colors and the white balances and all that stuff it's actually really full-featured it's kind of hard to do like small changes to things and it ends up being pretty drastic but you can actually edit almost everything they're used that you're used to and again it's it's a fairly broad stroke thing you can select different parts of an image that you want to edit and just by dragging around you can actually change the effect with brushes or you can actually have it do it automatically and there's a bunch of filters that do pretty interesting things with your photos some are more kind of intense than others but you can always go back really easily which is nice you can just remove any effect that you want and go straight back to how you were so the editing itself is really smartly done to work with your fingers and then there's also a lot of sharing that you can do with the photo so once you get it the way you want it you can share it to Facebook or Twitter or iTunes or what have you and you can also make a journal which is pretty cool so if I add these 8 photos to the general it makes basically a digital scrapbook and you can add all kinds of different stuff to your scrapbook you can add you can add maps and you can add sticky notes and all kind of stuff and then you can share it and actually let people see it in the way that you set it up so if you have a trip or something like that that you want to add information to and you know share all about what you were doing it's it's a pretty cool way to do it and anyone with a web browser can use it as long as they have your link it's a pretty great app it works really well we're using an iPad to hear it's pretty fast and should be even faster on the new iPad you can sort your photos and it basically becomes a way to do everything you need to do with your photos on the iPad itself it's also available for the iPhone the interface doesn't work quite as easily but because the screen is so small but it certainly as all the same features and actually works pretty well so that's the new iphoto for iOS it's available right now in the app store for 499 and you'll need an iphone 4 or an ipad 2 or later to use it
