I am starting to become suspect of the iPad and how it handles photos with it claims of being able to deal with 19MP Images.

Jupie, you got any insight on this?

How come when I use the camera connect kit and import direct from my SD card from my gf1 are my 12Mp camera raw showing up as 2.5mp???

How come when I download an image from Dropbox that is a full resolution export from LR from my d3 (over 4k and 300dpi) it shows up as only .7MP and only 1920x1080

there are no settings I'm finding that control any of this, this is unsettling to say the least if there is the norm and there isn't something I'm missing.

 

Looking into it more. It appears lots of people are running in to this. Apparently Dropbox does the resolution change on purpose to "help preserve bandwidth"

And no one seems to have a straight answer on the camera kit and importing raw.

This is giant load of shit on dropboxes end. And if apple is pulling bs with file sizes on the iPad...well call it the first time I'll be truly pissed at them.

 

I don't use dropbox and what app are you using to see a 2.5mp image?

 

Any of them...only when I open exif wizard I do see a full size image (with the image imported from the camera connection kit)

But iPhoto/Lamanier (or whatever its called)/photoforge, etc all show a 2.5MP version of it displaying at 1920x1080.

Everything I read so far before falling asleep last night pointed that the files you import are full res...and they are there, but the apps open smaller jpegs...and if you make any changes and save them...then you its that smaller file that is saved, not the full res image.

I have to do more digging...but if this is true, its a whole lot of false advertising going on.

I read one blog...it said you have to use an app like pirRAWana, which is a native RAW app....and it doesn't have very good rankings. Neither did the one other RAW app I found in the app store.

So, really at this moment I am discouraged from attempting to use my iPad as a serious photo tool.

Apple needs to allow native RAW.
