Chapter 8. Helpful Apps for Photographers

As I type this, there are something like 2600 apps in the Photo & Video category of the iTunes Store. A lot of them share the same functionality; all sorts of apps add effect presets to images, for example. But there are also plenty of gems that provide specialized features, such as a way to produce legal model releases for signing on the spot, or to calculate when tomorrow’s sunrise will emerge and which angle the light will be coming from.

This chapter contains a host of apps that will help photographers, but it doesn’t repeat any of the excellent app suggestions made elsewhere in the book; see the appendix for a full list of apps mentioned in these pages. You’ll also notice that some are iPhone apps—that means they haven’t been designed to run specifically on the iPad (taking advantage of its larger screen, for example), but they still work fine.
