How do I organise iPad photos on a PC?

My Dentist has just got a new iPad and needs to know how to organise photos on it. He is a PC user and wants to use the iPad Photos app to show patients before and after pics of various treatments. He likes the iPads pinch to zoom feature, but at the moment, one week in, he isn't ready to go and buy a Mac just to sort and organise his photos on the iPad. He adds the pics to the iPad directly from the camera using the Camera Connector.
So, how can the photos on an iPad be organised into albums? Is there a way to edit them? Is there a version of iPhoto for the PC? How can PC users work with the photos?
TIA

First, he needs to import the photos from the camera-imports to the PC. Syncing does not do this. He can use the Digital Camera Import wizard or the Windows file explorer by clicking on "My Computer" and navigating to the ipad under "devices". (First, connect the ipad to the PC-USB port)
For windows pc's Photo albums of photos already on the PC:
1) Create a master sync folder on your pc with no photo files at the root level of the folder.
2) Create sub-folders within the master sync folder with the subfolders named what you want the ipad's photo albums to be named. In this case, each customer's name (and date of visit?)
3) Place the photo files you want to sync in the appropriate subfolder within the master sync folder.
4) In itunes on the photos tab, select the master folder as the sync folder.
5) After syncing, each subfolder will be an album on the ipad with the proper photos contained there-in.
Based on the above procedure, he may be better off (fewer steps) to just import the camera/xrays directly to the PC, then organize them, then sync the Master folder to the ipad.

How does iPhoto organises the photos?

Dear fellow Mac users,
how are you! Tonight, my parents had a lot of fun taking photos of them using Photo Booth... awww. those love birds haha.. and i made a music slideshows for them. (too bad i dont know how to burn it into a VCD for them to watch on TV). I dont have a DVD RW.
My question is
1. How does Iphoto organises the photos? It seems like there are many dublicate copy of the same photo.... i am kind of confused. (There is .. Original Folder and Modified Folder) and worried that it will eat up my disk space
2. Is it possible for me to burn a slide show VCD?
Thank you soooo much!

StanB:
As PhillyPhan warned, you don't need to use the Finder to locate an image file for use outside iPhoto. You can either drag the thumbnail to the desktop to get a copy of it or use the File->Export->File Export menu route to export the file to the desktop. The second option allows you to resize it if desired. So there's no need to go rummaging around in the iPhoto Library folder to find a file.

How do I organise my photos?

I am new to Aperture and am trying to get my head around how Aperture 3.2.4 organises its collections.
Most of my images are coming from my iPod Touch running iOS 7.04.
Photos in iOS7 is supposed to organise the photos in Camera Rolls and whilst it does have multiple rolls they are few, and I can not see how they are divided up. I would have thought they would be by each batch or location that I shoot, but no.
When I bring them into Aperture I would like them to be grouped by actual shoot sequence, but by default they just go into one large "Untitled Project" . Renaming that just changes the name and it is still one large undistinguished collection.
I have been manually selecting parts of the camera roll and adding them to Projects with Location date. That is tedious for the 1000s of photos I take.
…and I am not sure this is doing what I want.
I'd like to be able to export/delete the actual collection as needed.
This where the confusion sets in.
Out of the Libraries, Albums, Folders which actually represents real files not just virtual collections.
I am uncertain what contains what ie which is a subset within a larger collection.
Folders are the most confusing they seem to be within and outside Libraries and Albums. Is that right? And if they are either how do you tell what they are?
I get that there are virtual collections: Smart Albums, Books, Light Tables, Slideshows, Web Journals & Web pages but it seems Libraries, Albums, Projects & Folders blur the difference.
Once in a Project (or whatever physical collection) how do I move photos into other more sensible collections? Is a Project the wrong division for collections?
Also how do I manage Vaults. Are these simply backups? Do they automatically synchronise with the main collection, or are they a one off movement/copy of files?
Is there a faster way of selecting images than unchecking all, selecting items again then checking them? This is quirky in its behavior. If I have some checked, then add more it won't let me check or uncheck them. I have to resort to Uncheck all and start again.

Gern geschehen, Peter!
You are obviously the go to person here.
Thanks, I do what I can You'll find quite a few real real experts here, when you hang around a bit.
Folders hold 'aliases' or pointers to either individual images or Projects or other folders?
Folders can be nested - they can hold other folders, albums, projects, smart albums, boook, but don't hold individual images. Folders in Aperture don't relate to folders in the Finder on your disk. And there are no "aliases" to folders in Aperture. You cannot have the same project or album twice in two different folders. I use the folders to be able to hide or disclose groups of projects and albums - notice the disclosure triangles besides the folders:
Why can I put a folder inside a Project but I can't drag images to it or add them when I create it.
Folders hold library items that can hold images. Drag an album with images into that subfolder.
In fact I don't seem to be able to put anything in folders, Images, Projects, Albums or other Folders, whether they are inside Projects or inside the Library.
You should be able to drag albums to a subfolder of a project, but not images or other projects: projects cannot be nested. How did you drag? Drag directly onto the folder icon.
Aperture certainly moves in mysterious ways!

How can I transfer ipad photo to flash drive

How can I transfer mini ipad photo to my flash drive and I brought lightning connection kit but it seem not work. My photo is almost full and don't want to lose it. Can anyone help me PLEASE

Move your excess photos to a cloud service like Dropbox or save them on a computer (which can put them on a flash drive).
You won't be able to do this on the iPad.

Help, how do I get iPad Photos to sort the way I want?

I'm at wits end!
After a week of constant sync/re-sync/re-name-stripping out all EXIF data, I'm still at the mercy of some random sort order for some of my photos.
I have read: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4221 - which seems to indicate that it reads the EXIF data first. I have stripped all EXIF data from all my photos in hopes that it will resort to alphabetical order of the file-names. But it doesn't seem to do so - it seems to still rely on last modified date of the file itself. Short of copying individually hundreds of photos over in the order that I want - I don't know what to do. Additionally, through trial and error, it seems that it doesn't recognize differences in timestamp in the seconds, only minutes - ARGH!! Is anyone else having such a hard time to get the iPad to sort the photos by filename in an order that I specify?
I am not on Mac and cannot use iPhoto to sort, so I am on the PC side and order my photos using ACDSee and batch rename them so that they are alphabetically correct.
Please, its essential that they are grouped in my order, but I can't for the last week coax my iPad to display in alphabetical filename order (it seems simple enough?!) I'm so frustrated!!
Please help.

I do not understand what you mean by a problem with downsizing large image, the images I have dragged over are exactly the same size as on my home computer, I can see it may cause the IPad problems if you are trying to transfer 50 mb tiff files or something similar, it really is not designed for that type of image.
My workflow is as follows, I work up my raw files and save a copy as a tiff for printed output, for web or iPad use I make an approx 2 Mb jpeg file.
I make a folder with an appropriate title, insert the required images, the images are sorted either by the original camera file numbering or if I want items in a particular order I will start a number 1 and continue, Airsharing will respect your ordering sequence, so number 1 will always be number 1.
As a viewer Air Sharing in my opinion is better than the photo app because it leaves your images in the order you have set, to view an image you open the folder click on number 1 or whatever is your 1st image, that
opens full screen, you have the choice of moving through the folder singly by clicking the arrow head at the bottom right/left of the screen or a slide show by clicking the centre arrow head, you set the time on screen etc.
If you put the same selection of images on the iPad via the Photo app it would number your images in a way you have little control over and will even optimise your image even if you do not want it to !
The Airsharing library is seperate from the photo library, you can move images to the photo library but why would you want to do that ? All your image sorting is done on your computer prior to the transfer, surely you do not want an app making decisions on you behalf ?
To me it is a perfect portfolio app because I make all the decisions about file size, sequence of images how I want to display them, singly or as a slideshow I am in control not Apple.

Have you tried the app? The app description states that you can upload photos for printing. However, the app did not get glowing reviews for some of the other features. But if you want to try it, it's free.

How do I organise a photo show in file order?

I'm trying to import a load of photos into a movie I'm making. I've named them all so they stack in the correct order, but Premier 8 seems insistant on putting them in date order, which is no good for my purposes.
How do I get it to put them into the movie in file order?

That works, thank you Steve! I had in in "Projects" but "grid view" which doesn't seem to give that option. As a list it does.
The next issue I have is that the photos are very high quality and imposible to drag onto the timeline it seems. I guess the only answer is to reduce the file sizes?

How do I transfer iPad photos to eBay listing?

I am unable to transfer photos from my iPad onto eBay or Craigslist. Hitting copy and paste does not seem to work. Thanks

You need to use the eBay app for iPad. Do that, and the app will walk you through the process. It's as simple as tapping and selecting from Camera Roll or taking a new pic. Just go through the process in the app.

I am having trouble printing photos from the larger main tray. It keeps trying to use the smaller. Photo tray
I tried selecting main tray as default and will not work.

This question was solved.

Hi,
If you are using AirPrint, the default setting is to use the photo tray for photos and the main tray for all other printing. AirPrint allows very little flexability in this respect.
In order to increase flexability around papaer and tray selection, you'll need to download the HPe-Print app from the app store and use this.

Copying personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

I have transferred some photos from an sd card using an apple adaptor to my iPad then I did a sync in iTunes. How do I now organise the photos into folders?

I would really appreciate some help with this.

At the moment you can't move photos between albums directly on the iPad, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn (from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos) :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device.
Until then you need to organise the photos in folders on your computer and then sync those folders to the iPad - and you need to sync all the folders (and therefore albums) that you want on the iPad together in one go, as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad; not including photos in a sync is how you delete them from the iPad.

2.) How do I remove an album on my ipad?
3.) i have taken over 1,000 photos on ipad, now it won't sync stuff to the ipad because it said there is not enough space. I want to delete some past synced photos from the computer to create space, but I don't know how to find it on computer. It sycned a portion of a file onto the ipad which is useless to me so I want to delete it all & start fresh.
4.) I was thinking about copying some of those photos over so it would show up as new data maybe then it would sync to my ipad as a new & competed album. Or will this create more problem because it would only be creating more photos?
5.) By the way, I don't know how to use dropbox or anything like it, so I take photos of some files & web screen that I use regularly to always have access regardless of internet access. That is why I have so many photos. But I want to be able to separate & organized them by files, web screens, or topics. I also want to be able to delete & update as needed.
6.) If needed I am willing to delete 4 G of downloaded app to create space. Will this help the space issue? Also could I just leave the downloaded app to my computer only & only sync to to ipad as needed, since I don't need app as regularly. I NEED "photo" ALL of the TIME! I am out in the field, instead of carrying stack & stack of papers, I carry ipad with photo of these daily needed papers!

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :

2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.
