I have the cheapest version to transfer from my camera to my phone and I absolutely live it. I still edit my photos, but I do so the same way I would photos taken with my phone’s camera. Currently I’ve been using Snapseed and Afterlight, often together. I’ve been very pleased with the results, the only complaint I have is that I NEED A BIGGER SCREEN!!
I'm currently shooting with a Canon 5DIII. I typically shoot RAW files to the CF card and small (~1MB) jpeg's to an Eye-Fi card in the SD card slot. What Pro users get that others do not is the ability to send Raw files to their computer. Display when transferring images via the Eye-Fi. Macworld is your.
Transferring Raw Files To Photoshop
To remedy that I’ve been looking into getting an iPad mini just for my photography, since I once ran into the issue of maxing out the available storage space on my phone. I know some photographers have criticized others for using phone apps for editing, but I like the results and 1) Afterlight is a lot cheaper than Photoshop 2) I have absolutely no clue how to use photoshop, so it wouldn’t be worth the investment. When I first saw this announced, I thought – I have to have it! I’ve used them for years and have given them as gifts to extended family. I have one in every camera, syncing to my computer. I don’t need line of site (my router is in a closet) but it doesnt work from upstairs so I do have to remember to carry it downstairs and leave it on. The transfer can be slow.
My old Nikon D40 would shut off after a few shots, so I often pulled the card out. In my new D5300 the camera doesn’t shut off until it’s done.
The downside is, my battery runs down faster. Still, it’s totally worth it for the workflow. After reading your LR post I set up auto-import. I have both my Eye-Fi and my iPad photos (via a Photosync) going to the same folder.
Actually I have all of the family phones and cameras synced to the same folder. The only slight hitch in the workflow is that Photosync doesn’t have the option to delete photos off the device after importing the way Eye-Fi does. Overall though, the workflow is incredibly efficient, and now my photos are right where I need them, when I need them.
