Photo App Usage Anywhere?

So on the iPad in iOS 5, under Settings/General/Usage you can see the amount of data consumed by every content-storing app except Photos.  How can one tell how many GB its library has consumed?

    About only gives you the number of photos stored, not the size of your data.

    No. It won't.

    The summary page in iTunes (main page when you connect your iPhone/iPad) will tell you how much storage each category (Audio/Photos/Apps/etc) is using.

    Thanks Venerable.  Is there also a way to determine Photos' usage just from the iPad itself, without connecting to iTunes?  Because my aging desktop Mac is headed for retirement, and I'm hoping to get along in the future with just the new iPad, if I can swing it.

    You can see that when you sync with iTunes the amount of GB used by each type on the iPad.

    I can see how much space photos are taking up by going to Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera. Is this what you're looking for?
