transfeering selected photos to Nexus 7

[littlenorty]

Hi
I want to able to transfer selected photos from a Nikon D800/D300 to a Nexus 7, then crop and resize them to post on twitter and facebook.

I beleive I can connect my camera to a nexus via MTP?
How easy is it to just transfer one or two photos (don't want to download them all)?
Can you recomend a photo editor to crop and resize them and ideally add a custom text watermark?

Is there a limit to what size the jpeg can be - the D800 tends to produce 16 gig files - could I do this on a 32 gig Nexus 7?

A lot of question I know, been trying to find out some definate answers and been recommended to try on this forum.
Many thanks in advance

you need what is called a USB OTG (on the go) cable. they can be found for almost pennies on amazon. You can use an app called the Nexus media importer to pull pictures off the camera either via MTP mode or with an SD card reader.

I use an app called RAW vision to view RAW files, though I don't actually do any editing on the device, so I don't know if any editors support RAW files. Most of my use for this setup is to upload pictures taken with my NEX-5N on a trip to cloud storage. (I've had an SD card corrupt on me on a vacation before, lost 800 pictures. Never again)

You do need the otg cable but if your camera supports mtp, you don't actually need nexus media importer, you can pull photos straight into the gallery app. Same with cameras that support pictbridge. (my advice only applies to jpg, raw adds a whole other wrinkle)

[edit]: You had some other qs...you can certainly select to only copy a few files. There are definitely editors for basic editing...there is even a version of photoshop for android. Unfortunately, I don't have any recs here. Lastly I'm not aware of any file size restrictions...I'd be surprised if there were but it's possible.

[edit2]: Whoa, 16 GIG files?!? Yeah, I could see that being a problem...

Yea, a 16gig file is probably a video. I went under the assumption that he meant megabyte, not gigabyte.

As for the phtotoshop for Android tablets, it does not support RAW files. I've tried. I also don't believe the native gallery app can read RAW files either, hence the RAW vision app and why i use the media importer.

Thanks for the help, oops I did mean 15mb. They will be jpeg so no problem there.
Sounds like it could work, think I have to go an get myself one.
No doubt I be back with a lot more questions.
Thanks again
