or the recipient's Internet provider or company. But if you can get the largest image through,
you will give the recipient the full picture (forgive the pun) in all its glory. (Check out Chapter
5 for more info on using e-mail.)
iCloud: You can post pics to Apple's online cloud locker.
Twitter: Lots of people send pictures with their tweets these days. The iPad makes it breeze.
Tap Tweet and your picture is embedded in an outgoing tweet. Just add your words, sticking
to Twitter's character limit of 140, and tap Post.
Facebook: And lots of people share photos on the world's largest social network. After your
Facebook account is configured, you too can post there from your iPad.
Sina Weibo and Tencent Weibo: If you've enabled a Chinese keyboard, you'll see options
for China's own social networks.
Flickr: The Yahoo!-owned service is another popular photo-sharing destination.
Copy: Tap to paste the image in an e-mail or elsewhere.
Slideshow: As mentioned, this is your starting point for a slideshow, complete with an op-
tional musical soundtrack.
AirPlay: Own an Apple TV set-top box? You can use AirPlay to stream photos from the
phone to the TV.
Save to Camera Roll: If you didn't shoot the image in question on your iPad but want to add
it to the device's Camera Roll, tap the Save to Camera Roll option.
Assign to Contact: If you assign a picture to someone in your Contacts list, the picture you
assign pops up whenever you receive a call from that person (on say your iPhone) or receive
a text. Tap Assign to Contact. Your list of contacts appears on the screen. Scroll through the
list to find the person who matches the picture of the moment. As with the Use as Wallpaper
option (described next), you can drag and resize the picture to get it just right. Then tap Set
Photo.
You can also assign a photo to a contact by starting out in Contacts. To change the picture
you assigned to a person, tap his or her name in the Contacts list, tap Edit, and then tap the
person's picture or the circle without a picture that carries the label Add Photo. From there,
you can take another photo with one of the iPad's digital cameras, select another photo from
one of your albums, or edit the photo you're already using (by resizing and dragging it to a
new position). Of course, you are removing the photo you no longer want.
Use as Wallpaper: Even with dramatic new dynamic designs, the background images on the
iPad that Apple supplies can't measure up to your own pictures of your spouse, your kids, or
your pet, perhaps? When you tap the Use as Wallpaper button, you see what the present im-
age looks like as the iPad's background picture. In addition, you're given the opportunity to
move the picture around and resize it, through the now-familiar action of dragging or pinch-
ing against the screen with your fingers. You can even see how the picture looks against the
