can store artwork that someone has created using a program such as Photoshop or
Corel Painter, or engineering drawings created by a computer-aided design (CAD)
program.
In this chapter you will learn how to view pictures (digital photographs,
graphic images, and so on) on your iPad.
What You’ll Be Using
To view and share pictures on your iPad, you need to use the following:
The Photos app The Settings app
Viewing Pictures
The Photos app provides several ways to view your pictures:
> Photos Lists every picture individually
> Albums Groups pictures into categories
> Events Groups pictures based on the date they were captured
> Faces Organizes pictures based on the people in them
> Places Organizes pictures based on where they were taken
Q NOTE: To take advantage of the Faces feature covered in this chapter, you’ll
need to use iPhoto or Aperture (on a Mac) to tag pictures with each person’s
face. If you’re using a Windows computer, you won’t be able to use the Faces
feature. Most digital cameras capture the date a picture was taken (Events)
and some of the newest ones can even identify the location where a picture
was taken (Places). If none of your pictures are tagged with Faces, Events, or
Places, you won’t see those tabs in the Photos screen.
To see all the different ways of viewing your pictures, make sure you have
loaded some pictures onto your iPad, and then follow these steps:
1. From the Home screen, tap Photos. The Photos screen appears.
2. Tap the Photos tab at the top of the screen. Thumbnail images of all your
pictures appear, as shown in Figure 22-1.
3. Tap any picture. Your chosen picture expands to fill the screen.
4. Tap the screen to display controls at the top and bottom of the screen, as
shown in Figure 22-2. (After a few seconds, these controls automatically dis-
appear.) Notice the thumbnail images of pictures that appear at the bottom
of the screen.
5. Tap the screen to display the controls, and tap the button in the upper-left
corner of the screen to return to the Photos screen.
