In-Depth Information
If the people you are sharing with have their own iCloud accounts and are on an iOS 6 account or
later or using a Macintosh computer running OS X Mountain Lion or Mavericks, they can not only
glom onto your stream to view your photos but also leave comments about them. Don't worry —
you have the power to remove snarky remarks.
If the people you are sharing with have iOS 7, they can add their own photos and
videos to the stream, provided doing so is okay with you. If it is, turn on the Subscribers Can Post
switch. At your discretion, you can also receive notifications when your subscribers weigh in with
comments or add their own pictures or videos to the Shared stream.
If you're ultimately unhappy with the Shared stream itself — or the people with whom you are shar-
ing it — you can kill the Shared stream or at minimum kick those people off the list. To kill the
stream, tap the Delete Photo Stream button.
To remove a subscriber, tap the stream, tap the People tab, and then tap the name of the person with
whom you are sharing the stream. Scroll down to the bottom and tap Remove Subscriber. You'll be
asked to tap a Remove button just to make sure or tap Cancel if you have second thoughts. If you do
remove a subscriber, you can always re-invite the person later.
Admiring Your Pictures
Photographs are meant to be seen, of course, not buried in the digital equivalent of a shoebox. The
iPad affords you some neat ways to manipulate, view, and share your best photos.
You've already found out how to find individual pictures in albums, via iCloud and in years, collec-
tions, and moments groupings. You may already know (from previous sections in this chapter) how
to display picture controls. But you can do a lot of maneuvering of your pictures without summon-
ing those controls. Here are some options:
Skip ahead or view the preceding picture:

from within an album, flick your finger left or right.
Switch from landscape or portrait mode:
The iPad's wizardry, or more specifically, the
device's cool sensors, are at work.When youturnthe iPad sideways, the picture automatically
reorients itself from portrait to landscape mode, as the images in Figure
9-9
show. Rotate the
device back to portrait mode and the picture readjusts accordingly.
Skim:
A bar appears at the bottom of the screen when you summon picture controls. Drag
your finger across the bar in either direction to quickly view all the pictures in an open album.
Zoom:
Double-tap to zoom in on an image and make it larger. Do so again to zoom out and
make it smaller. Alternatively, on the photo, pinch your thumb and index finger together to
zoom in and unpinch them to zoom out.
