Would this work?

[Syd]

I've got a Nikon d90 with an eyefi pro x2 card, a battery-powered wireless router (no internet connection), my Ipad arrives in a couple of weeks, and Shuttersnitch will be my first app purchase.

Couple of questions:

1. Is there a list of editing features that can be done with Shuttersnitch? Cropping? Exposures? etc?

2. I prefer to shoot raw+jpg. Once the images are on the Ipad, can I send just the jpg to an ftp server using the ipad's 3g connection with shuttersnitch? Would this work if I shoot just jpg?

3. Is there a way to tag individual jpgs from within Shuttersnitch? Maybe add keywords in the metadata.

I've got a workflow setup right now that sniffs a ftp directory from my PC, and downloads any new images. Then it reads metadata looking for specific keywords, opens the image in photoshop and performs actions based on those keywords, then uploads the image back to the ftp server.. all automatically. So this leads me to question number four:

4. I doubt Shuttersnitch does this, but is there an app that pulls images from an ftp server using 3g, and loads them into the Ipad's photo directory?


Thanks for any response!

Hi Syd,

1. No editing at this point no. Sorry.
2. Yup. Actually ShutterSnitch only processes JPEGs at the moment. And yes you can upload all or certain images to an FTP server using the 3G connection.
3. You can tag images with star-ratings, but at the moment there's no other way of adding/editing keywords/metadata. I'm working on that though.
4. ShutterSnitch doesn't do this no, but I might add it. Otherwise I'm sure there's some FTP client out there that does this. Just haven't tried any..

Have you heard much about the new OS upgrade for IPad? I'm interested to know more about multitasking, and can't seem to find any good info about it. Might it be possible to have Shuttersnitch grabbing images, then edit them with another app, at the same time?

They haven't opened up for programming 4.0 on the iPad yet, and I can't say anything before it's out for the iPhone (June 21st).

But I'm sure you won't be disappointed. It's a big step forward!
