Most of you using Aperture have probably become very used to the tools that Aperture provides for you to manage your photo libraries on your Mac, edit and refine your pictures and images and showcase your photographic masterpieces. Many serious photography enthusiasts and some not so serious have already found different apps and methods that help with some very basic photo editing functions while out and about.  At this point there are no plans that we have heard from Apple to release the Aperture iPad app but that doesn't mean that developers aren't already working on other options.  This brings us to Pixelsync for iPad.

Pixelsync solves the problem of being able to manage your photos while you are on the go.  The app lets Aperture users sync photos from their Aperture libraries to their iPad.  Pixelsync gives users the ability to review, rate and label your pictures while you are away from the Mac.  The app can even sync and transfer photos to your iPad from multiple Aperture libraries by using a local WiFi connection.  It's really quite simple as all you need to do is intall the Pixelsync Helper app on your Mac then connect your iPad nad Mac using Pixelsync.  Be sure to look at all of the requirements for Pixelsync before getting started. After you go through the process of labeling and rating your images, the Pixelsync iPad application lets you pick and choose the photos and images that you want to sync with your Aperture library housed on your Mac.  Unfortunately at this time Pixelsync doesn't give you the ability to edit the images on your iPad but it does allow you to mess around with the metadata.  We hope that future releases of Pixelsync will include editing functionality as it is quite important to most photography enthusiasts.  We'll be sure to keep you posted of any updates to Pixelsync.
