Find and view pictures on your iPad

Now that you've copied some pictures onto your iPad, you're ready to locate them on that big, shiny Slab of Joy. Navigate to the Home screen and tap the Photos icon. The iPad organizes your picture collection in as much as five ways - if you happen to use all the features of iPhoto '09 on the Mac. After you open the iPad's Photos app, tap the buttons at the top of the window to see the ways you can sort your photos:

Photos.

This view displays thumbnails of all your pictures lumped together one place. If you didn't group your images into albums before you transferred them, they reveal up all together here.

Albums.

If you did tick off boxes for individual albums in the iTunes window, tap the Albums button to determine those picture sets grouped under the same names as they were in your PC or Mac photo program.

Events.

Mac people using recent versions of iPhoto or Aperture may also sort photos into Events.Tap the Events button on the iPad to determine any of these sets synced in the Mac.

Faces.

Apple introduced a face-recognition feature in iPhoto '09 that automatically groups photos based on the people in them. If you make use of this feature on the Mac, iTunes provides you with the option to sync entire albums of just one person. Then you can find your Cate or Zachary photo sets whenever you tap the Faces button on the iPad.

Places.

If you geotag your photos - by shooting them with a GPS-enabled camera or by manually placing them on a map with tools in iPhoto '09 - your pictures appear in the Places area depending on their geographic coordinates. Tap Places to see your photo sets stuck to some world map with virtual red push-pins.

In album form, your picture sets seem like a stack of loose photographs clumped in a sloppy pile. Tap one of the piles with a fingertip and the photos disperse and snap into grid where you can see each one as a small thumbnail image. If you're not quite sure what photo is in which album pile, pinch and spread your fingers on the pile to see a fast animated preview of its contents without opening the album completely.
