I got an new iPad yesterday and one of the first things I did was put a 2048x1536px .png on it (Don't use dropbox, it seems to down-res the image). My jaw hit the floor. It's like holding a glossy 8x10 print in your hand. Describing it won't do it justice. You have to see it to believe it.

That wasn't the point. I'm sure that he could have uploaded bigger images, and then the Zenfolio software would automatically display the right size for the screen resolution.

Sorry I wasn't clear. In a raw editor, I want to be able to adjust exposure, brightness, sharpness and so on. In Snapseed you can adjust grunge and drama.
Snapseed has some cool effects and I have it on the iPad and the Mac. I like it a lot.
But it's not what I'd consider to be a raw photo editor.

The main problem is the core idea of iOS - limit users from accessing their files.
The reason is also very simple (if you don't know, it's about money )
Apple controls the environment so they can make 30% on each application
installed on any iToy in the world...
It s@cks and it makes less and less sense as the power of those things increases.
Windows 8 might force Apple to change it, until then it's only a toy.
I have tried a few of those photo apps. iPhoto is useless, deleted it after 5 minutes.
The best IMO is Photogene. iPhotoshop limits size of files to 1600px (!).
Back to the websites - does someone know how to use "viewport" tag properly
to avoid weird scalling with all the screen resolutions?
I have one issue - my subpages bump single images to more than full screen and crop them...
Waiting for the hi-rez screen Samsung with Android. It is open and has usb connectivity for extra drive, flash drive, and the ability to shoot tethered via dslrcontrol app.

Who does? My comment was to mention what good there is. And therefor show the level available for the iPad. Hopefully some could be more constructive and give examples rather than kicking in open doors and pointlessly flame stuff.

I guess I need to research making two versions - "regular" and higher rez.
Maybe some autodetection of the screen resolution (is it possible in simple html?)
would be useful...
I got the new Ipad as well and downloaded Iphoto which for $5 is pretty nice and a better photo browser than the stock photo app on the Ipad. My pictures looks awesome.
I also recommend downloading the 500px app. Seeing those images in high res is awe inspiring.

Forgive me if I offended you -- Snapseed is a really great app it's just not a raw photo editor.
Filterstorm is a great editor that works with raw files and I just heard about Photoraw. It's another good one.
On the Naturescape forums they are talking about a yellow ting to all the photos displayed on the new iPads. Has anyone seen this from their iPads. Version 1 & 2 had very good colours, but if version 3 has a yellow hue...then that's a problem.
Comparing my iPad 1 and 3, on greenery, blue skies, interiours, car photos, and so on, I do not see any consistent yellow cast. I do see that the colours on the 3 are in general more saturated, which gives a little more punch to my photos. I have to compare to my calibrated screen and see if I like that, but as an early impression it looks better. Note that it is a small difference.

Check out the quality and rendering of text - crisp and sharp,
images - not so much
As far as color and "yellow" tint - it's not different than any Mac computer
taken out of the box - the difference is you can calibrate the screen on your Mac,
with iPad and the moronic Apple approach to iOS - you're stuck with whatever
you get...
Those images are not 100% crops, just noticed imageshack screwed up something
again...
