Notes About This Book

As you read, you’ll run into examples where I’ve adopted general terms or

phrases to avoid getting distracted by details. For example, I frequently

refer to the “computer” or the “desktop” as shorthand for any traditional

computer that isn’t the iPad. Although the iPad is most certainly a computer,

I’m making the distinction between it and other computing devices, such

as laptops, towers, all-in-one machines, and other hardware that runs OS X

or Windows. When those details are important to a task, I note speciﬁc

applications or computers.

The same general rule applies to iPad models. The iPad mini, despite its size,

is still a fully functional iPad, so when I refer to “iPad” in general it applies to

the iPad mini as well as to the larger, ﬂagship model.

I also assume you’re familiar with the way an iPad works—using gestures

such as taps and swipes, syncing with a computer, connecting to the Internet,

charging the battery, and otherwise taking care of your tablet. If you’re

brand new to the iPad, allow me a shameless plug as I encourage you to

buy my iPad Pocket Guide (also from Peachpit Press).

Don’t be surprised when you frequently run across the phrase “As I

write this.” Both the iPad and the software useful to photographers are

advancing rapidly, which makes this an exciting topic to cover.

I mention many apps throughout the book, so instead of cluttering up the

text with Web addresses, you’ll ﬁnd links in the App Reference appendix at

the end of the book.

To stay abreast of the changing ﬁeld, be sure to visit the companion site

for this book, www.ipadforphotographers.com, where I post updates

and information related to the newest tool in your camera bag. I’ve also

set up an iPad for Photographers community on Google+ for readers

and others to share photos and conversation: https://plus.google.com/

communities/111822708330207901957.

Lastly, please sign up for my low-volume newsletter, where I keep readers

abreast of new projects and giveaways: http://eepurl.com/KYLFv.

Have fun shooting, and please feel free to contact me at the sites above

with feedback!
