To test iPhoto, I imported some images using the Camera Connection Kit, saved some from Photo Stream to the Camera Roll, and picked others that were already in the Camera Roll.

The All Imported album displays different thumbnails in iPhoto and Photos.app (at least on my device).

Edited photos aren’t automatically saved back to an album or Camera Roll.

Beamed photos end up in iPhoto’s Photos view and Beamed album, but they aren’t moved to the system Camera Roll.

These last three are specific to iPhoto, as they refer to photos you have edited, beamed from another device with the Beam feature, or marked as favorite within iPhoto.Īs I began using iPhoto for iOS, I started moving photos around, and I took some notes. This Albums view, however, doesn’t only contain the albums you create in Photos.app – well, it contains those as well (and they are visualized as gray books), but it also displays Photo Stream, Camera Roll, Last Import, All Imported (blue books) and Edited, Beamed, and Favorites (brown books). Anyway, as you can see from the screenshots, the main page of iPhoto for iPad is a shelf-like view listing all your albums, which is also a tab in the upper toolbar. This can be annoying if you’re reviewing iPhoto like me, but I guess regular users will rarely notice this “issue”.

When you fire up iPhoto for iOS, you’ll notice it will update your photo library on first launch, and it’ll keep doing this very often as you add new photos to your Camera Roll (for example, taking screenshots). If you’re importing photos using Apple’s Camera Connection Kit, you’ll find “Last Import” and “All Imported” both in iPhoto and Photos.app.Photos.app is the other Apple app, pre-installed on every device.Because iOS devices come with a systemwide “Camera Roll” that’s accessible by other apps, Apple engineers had to make sure iPhoto could access such location – and here’s where I started to run into issues.

I say “simply”, because there are exceptions in iPhoto for iOS, as it doesn’t use the exact same system of iPhoto for Mac when it comes to finding photos on your device. This version of iPhoto is yet another data silo that is self-contained, and won’t simply “sync” the changes it makes to photos out of its closed environment.

If you were hoping to see Apple coming up with an effortless way of importing photos avoiding duplicates and manual management, well, I’m sorry, you’ll be disappointed with iPhoto for iOS. I want to get this out of my system before I get to the (very) good stuff. I also believe, however, that iPhoto for iOS suffers from a serious file management problem, in that it’s the best example of iOS’ lack of a centralized file system where apps are able to easily “talk” to each other and share files or modifications to them. Once mastered, the new gestures and tap commands can be quite powerful, although the app can have a steep learning curve. As I’ll illustrate in a bit, Apple did manage to squeeze some advanced photo editing and refinement technologies in the mobile version of iPhoto, putting it on the same level if not above iPhoto for Mac when it comes to editing, making quick adjustments, and interacting with your photos.

I have been trying the app on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S (running iOS 5.1, of course, as it’s a requirement) for the past few hours, and I think that it is very powerful. So what’s all the fuss about iPhoto for iOS? IPhoto for iOS was released on the App Store earlier today, and after an enthusiastic introduction at Apple’s media event in San Francisco, the latest photo editing app from Cupertino received a controversial “welcome” on various blogs and Twitter streams as users got their hands on the all-new interface and photo management system.
