I don't think you want to transfer many DNGs over BT. :) I don't shoot a huge amount so an iPad with 64GB of storage is usually sufficient for my simple needs. The iPad acts as backup to the images on the SD cards. This way I don't have to carry yet-another-storage-device to backup the images on the SD cards (which can die at any time). iOS iPhoto's favourite setting doesn't get copied anywhere. The iOS and the Mac version are completely independent as I found out. I haven't found a way to sync iOS version with Mac version except via the Camera Roll which is a pretty crude mechanism (and looses the Favourite bit). :( /sc On Jan 7, 2013, at 9:56, Frank Filippone <red735i at verizon.net> wrote: > I too would like this capability.
