Creating picture folders

Question

How can I create new photo albums without conecting to iTunes?

Answer 1

Here's what worked for me using Windows7.
If you have already Synced the photos on your PC with your iPad you will need to clear the images from the Photos App by re-syncing it. Re-connect the iPad to the PC and when you see the name of your iPad come up in the Devices list (in the left hand panel of iTunes), click it and select Photos across the top right of iTunes.
Uncheck (untick) the photo syncing options and re-sync your iPad. Note: this will erase the images in your Photos App so make sure you still have all the photos you want on your PC
Now that you have an empty Photos App. This will keep things simple.
In My Pictures folder I created a Briefcase called "iPad image briefcase" (I'm not sure if previous versions of Windows used Briefcases but they're just a fancy way of Syncing files across different devices) Don't worry just create Folders and Sub-folders in previous versions of Windows.
Under the "iPad image briefcase" I created different Folders. (note: you can't create Briefcases within Briefcases in Windows7, you must create Folders under their respective Briefcases)
If you see a folder called iPad Photo Cache then start creating folders under that.
The folders I created were:
People
Places
Animals
Parts
Web images
When I want to add images I just drag and drop them from my photo editor into the folders I want them to appear in. Not all file types are supported on the iPad so make sure its a JPEG or other supported file type.
Only folders that actually have images in them will appear on the iPad Photos App. So if you have'nt put any images into Animals (for example) you won't see that folder on the ipad until you do.
