Loading processed photographs to ipad

Greg-

How are you trying to move them to the iPad? If you are using the Camera Connection Kit, the camera card (or thumb drive) must be in the same format the camera uses, the photos must be in a DCIM folder and they must have 8-character plus suffix names.

You can't create folders/albums directly on the iPad (and you can't have albums within albums anyway), and you can't do it via the camera connection kit (you'll just get dated events). To get different albums on the iPad you need to sync multiple folders from your computer, and each folder will get it's own album (you also need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad in one go, as not including photos in a subsequent sync is how you delete them from the iPad).

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.

So it may then be possible to create albums directly on the iPad

Hi

I had the same question about loading processed images.

I have processed my in Lightroom and would like to load them onto my iPad. I understand they have to be in a DCIM folder, but with regard to the file names I should like to know whether the file names can be anything as long as it contains 8 caracters, or is there a specific format / file name required.

My files are in jpeg format now.

No, the file names can be pretty much anything as long as they aren't longer than 8 character plus the 3 character extension. i.e. whatever.jpg

The iPad will convert them to numbered file names on import since they are not user accessible anyway, so its best to keep a simple naming scheme. like image001.jpg\
