- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I'm not sure on exact terminology, which is why I fail at googling things, but maybe I can get some help here.
I want to start an event photography business soon (backdrops + props + printing) and I am almost ready to execute and have all the basics down, but now I'm wondering if I could take it to the next level.
I'm not sure what I need, whether it be a MacBook app or an iPad app, or some cords or other gadgets/equipments, but what I'm trying to achieve is to have the luxury of showing people my pictures on my iPad while being able to switch between pictures, controlled by my MacBook. I've seen this at events for years, but they would have an external computer monitor hooked up to their main computer, but the iPad is the next generation of this practice.
For example, I, or an assistant photographer, will be taking pictures of people, possibly a number of different poses (funny, smiling, etc) for each group, and they will be allowed to pick one to be printed out.
I'm still waiting on my Eye-fi card in the mail to fully experiment, but meanwhile I've tried Air Display, but it doesn't yield the results I'm aiming for because in order to see what I'm controlling on the iPad, it requires me to be able to see my cursor on the iPad... which I won't be seeing since I and my iPad will be facing the people.
I'm also contemplating on buying an Apple VGA adapter, but I'm also not sure if that's what I'm looking for. I hope that someone can understand my hopeless explanation and lend me some advice.
Thank you in advance!
