You're such a heckler, Chuck. ;^P

Here's a few jpgs "processed" through Filterstorm.

http://www.dropbox.com/gallery/7734758/1/iPad01?h=194c27

They were shot with E-410 as RAW +jpg.  I selected HQ jpg size.  Next
time I'll try RAW + SQ jpgs. There is no way to adjust file size in
Filterstorm! or I have not found it. I guess it wasn't exactly
designed to process images for direct upload to the web.  This is
probably a feature that is coming in future updates.

I have received an email from the developer about sFTP support.  He
says it's coming down the road.

I discovered that once I had created folders in Dropbox via my PC, I
could fetch my saved photos using a function within Dropbox using the
iPad.  I'm still looking for a way entirely within the iPad world to
create new folders in a couple apps.  So far it's all workarounds.

As for the quality of the photos:  I was actually pretty happy with
the way they looked coming out of the camera, but I goofed around with
curves, saturation, sharpening, vignetting, etc. Converted a couple to
BW using the channel mixer function.  The saved images looked a bit
richer on the iPad, but once I had viewed them on my PC via the web
gallery they looked too dark and over-saturated.  I redid the images
to what you see at the link above.  The web version doesn't quite
match what I see when I bring the image into Photoshop.  I suspect a
colorspace mismatch of some kind.  I used AdobeRGB in the camera.
I'll have to send a note to the developer to find out how Filterstorm
is handling colorspaces.
