Shortly after the iPad was announced, Nigel posted about wanting to run Photojunction on it. While that hasn't happened (yet), the iPad has become quite a popular tool for photographers. Personally, I like to use it to present final album designs to clients. Photojunction makes creating and editing layouts so simple, that sitting there with a client flicking through their spreads takes the mystery out of knowing exactly what they'll end up with. There are so many presentation options within Photojunction, but here's a few that work with the iPad... 1. Slideshows Want an album slideshow to fit perfectly on your iPad so you can present it to your clients? Choose the Computer (Projector) size from the Slideshow movie size presets. They're the same exact dimensions as the iPad. Easy enough right? Imagine pre-designing the album and having the slideshow playing on the iPad when your client comes in to view their proofs. 2. Proofs Would you rather your clients could flip through the pages of their album design at their own speed, while you take notes of any changes they may want to make? When you export Proof Layouts in Photojunction (Album menu > Export > Proof layouts) choose 1024 as your export size (the second option on the drop down list). Add the proofs to your iPhoto library (or whatever you have set up to sync with your iPad) and you are on your way! 3. albumexposure This is my personal favorite. We made an excellent decision when we joined forces with albumexposure, and they made sure it wasn't long before albumexposure was iPad compatible. All the great albumexposure features you're used to on your computer are available when you access an album design via your iPad browser. Clients can view, comment and submit their album comments or approvals using the iPad. albumexposure and Photojuntion will do their thing and your clients' comments will be available for you to view back in Photojunction. Of course, this particular method does require an internet connection ;) So what's your favorite way to present albums to clients? Leave a comment below, we'd love to know. Cheers, Angelique

I'm replacing my main computer system with an iPad and Mac mini, networked together over WIFI using the built-in remote desktop feature in OSX. This way, I can use the iPad as my touch-screen interface for OSX apps running on the Mini. And the Mini is small and light enough to travel with, so I can bring my computer system with me on the road. Photojunction is gonna look real sweet on the iPad screen for sure, and I just know my clients will get a kick out of it.

Now I want a larger screen iPad- 17" would be very nice indeed!
