Metadata for the iPad and Its Rich Media
February 5, 2011
If you’re a photographer and an iPad owner, you have no doubt realized that the pre-loaded Photos app leaves much to be desired. See “Expo Notes: Sort Shots iPad App Adds Metadata Features” at Macworld for the solution.
There’s no reason not to use metadata these days to tag and organize your images. Sort Shots, at $5, is an affordable way to do so on your iPad. The article gives details:
“The app now has the ability to use existing metadata and EXIF tags—a feature iPad-owning photographers have long been clamoring for. This update makes it possible to find, order, and show photos and videos according to various metadata such as keywords, date taken, and rating. The sorting tools make it easy to assemble custom slideshows. New ratings, keywords, or file names that are added within the app are kept intact upon export. “
You can use Sort Shots to save custom sorts. You can also sort images by dragging and dropping thumbnails. The app is compatible with Lightroom, Bridge, Capture NX, Aperture, and iPhoto. Can better search be coming? We hope so.
