Thank you, David. Is it possible then to have two launch images and the system will select the correct one based on orientation? If not, I’ll have to give up on my idea of a smooth transition, because my launch image won’t be able to look anything like the welcome screen that follows.

When testing on an iPad today, I noticed that if I start the app with the iPad held in landscape mode, the launch image appears in landscape and of course looks terrible because parts of it are cut off.

Modern iPad apps (which support multitasking) do not support control of interface orientation – your application will have to support all orientations. You can opt out of this by setting an Info.plist setting that states that your application must always be presented fullscreen (I don’t recall the property off hand, but it shouldn’t be too hard to find it if you really need it) but the recommendation would be to instead support all orientations so that your application will participate in multitasking.
