How to Share Photos in iPhoto Between iPhone and iPad

Published

on

With it being the summer season it is common for people to go on vacation. Taking photos is always a great way to remember the sights and memories from your vacation. More than likely the photos could use some editing and iPhoto is great for that.

Editing photos in iPhoto for the iPad is much nicer than on the small iPhone screen.

Luckily Apple has built into iPhoto a way to transfer photos without the need for an internet connection. That way you can transfer pictures even if you are in a bad signal area or your iPad is WiFi only. This method shares photos between the iPhone and iPad directly not with the Photo Stream.
