iPad apps for processing?

13 January 2013 - 05:29 PM

Hi all,

I've recently started travelling with just my iPad rather than my laptop in order to keep weight down. It's been good for a backup device for my G12 using the camera connection kit, but I'm wondering if there's any decent apps out there for basic processing of raw files? I have the entire Adobe suite at work, so am always able to process things when I get home, but it'd be nice to be able to do some simple editing while I'm on a liveaboard or lounging around a resort as well. I've come across something called piRAWna, but it has very mixed reviews. Anybody here a user and have any suggestions?

Many thanks :)

Suggestions for G12 setup

07 January 2013 - 06:19 PM

Hi all,

I've acquired myself a Canon G12 and perhaps naively at the time ended up buying the Canon housing for it. It seemed like the most practical option for travel as it's compact and lightweight. However after a recent dive holiday, I've come to realise that I would like to be able to add either a macro or wide angle lens as the situation dictates. Some Google searching suggests that it's not particularly practical with the Canon housing since the Fantasea adaptor that can be purchased for the front port to attach the lenses is apparently very flimsy. I am happy to stand corrected on this and would welcome any suggestions on how to improve this setup for the addition of external lenses.

The other option I have been considering is purchasing a new housing that is more suitable for the addition of external (wet) lenses. I have briefly looked at the Ikelite housing and the Recsea housing, since apparently the Fix housings have been discontinued. Both seem to have relatively straight forward solutions for adding macro and wide angle lenses. Does anybody have any recommendations on what might be a good setup for me (assume price isn't an issue)?

Welcome any feedback!
