Syncing from ipad2 iphoto to imac iphoto
I recently travelled overseas and used my dslr camera to take photos, my ipad2 + iphoto to upload all photos (a back up). I also used the images on the ipad to then edit, add location data, create albums and journals. I now have a full 64gb ipad to upload to my mac. I want to get all my trip photos from the ipad to the mac.
I have read conflicting reports about the ease and success of syncing as you would normally do to upload the photos to the mac via itunes.
I am looking for advice about:-
* The best way to upload the upload so that all the photos that are now in the ipad iphoto app, would result in syncing to the mac iphoto and include all edited photos, retaining the edits and the album and location data;
* is there any way to save the journals to the mac or do they have to stay in the icloud? I have read not. If not, if I sync the photos to my mac, and delete the photos off the ipad, will the journals and their connections to the journals be retained in the icloud?
* i also created a slideshow in iphoto on the ipad will that sync Ok with the mac iphoto?
Hoping you can help and save me having a disaster! All comments and advice much appreciated.
