![]() I still run version 21, and for this review, I downloaded the trial of the latest version. It only works in the latest two versions of Capture One Pro, which are at the time of writing, versions 22 and 23. At anytime, you can back up your album to the cloud and access it from your desktop to continue editing. Cloud TransferĬapture One has its own cloud transfer which is easy to set up. ![]() Keystone function being used to correct perspective. A feature to drag these editing tools around would be great! Overall, the editing menus are much more basic than on the desktop version and feel more aimed at new Capture One users. It offers the basic version here on the iPad, but usually, that is all you need. My favorite tool in all of Capture One must be the Color editor. Then, adjust highlights and shadows with the HDR menu, dehaze, and add vignetting if you need to. Here you can change the white balance, exposure, and add clarity. The fourth menu down is where the manual editing happens. It is pretty intuitive, and using touch controls is great here. The middle menu is all about composition: cropping, rotating, and keystoning. They’re fun to play with, but I’d rather do it myself. The editing menu heavily emphasizes "Styles" and "Presets" as they’re higher up on the menu than manual editing. This is great as the app also lets you sort your images by their rating and color. Just like in the desktop version, you can give your image a star rating and a color. I highly recommend setting a capture folder for your images instead of having them all in one place. Having said that, the tethering overall is reliable, and an iPad is easy to move around as you shoot. Another missing feature (compared to the desktop version) is the live view. I’d certainly hope this would be added in new versions. With the camera high up on a tripod, this feature is gold. This is disappointing for someone who is used to being able to change camera settings on a computer. The app doesn’t offer any camera control through the app. There is the option to use the eyedropper tool to set the white balance if you’re using a gray card at the beginning of your shoot. I was shooting with natural light and made sure the exposure was near perfect in the camera. Wireless tethering is available with many camera models too. I found it to be reliable with my Canon 5D Mark III using a cable. Tethering is compatible with most cameras the full list can be found here. You can import from a hard drive, a cloud storage provider, a memory card, or straight from your camera. You’ll want to select "Files" to import from outside the iPad. The "Photos" option is simply referring to the photos folder on your iPad. The "Import" menu brings up two options: "Photos" or "Files." Well, whatever you do, it’s most likely photos that you want. I would love a view with more features, though, such as changing the background color from black to white, for example. You can hide the image browser and go full screen by double-tapping the image. What I really like about using the iPad for editing is the ability to easily move it around from landscape to portrait and therefore see your image filling the screen. ![]() The iPad version offers options to have tools on the right or left, to show histogram or not, and to show exposure warnings or not. The "Albums" refers to what the desktop version calls "Sessions" or "Catalogs." As someone who rarely uses "Catalogs" having just one option feels nice and simple.Ĭapture One is known for the ability to customize the layout the way you like to shoot and edit. Clicking on an image takes you to the editing view, which is also the same when shooting tethered.īelow the "Images" menus are the "Import," "Cameras," and "Albums" collapsible menus. You can select and move them around as you like. The main menu shows all your images and then divides them into captured, imported, and deleted images. I’m testing Capture One on an iPad Pro, shooting tethered with the Canon 5D Mark III, doing the editing after as well as showing you how to export images or continue editing on a desktop using Capture One’s own cloud transfer. As a disclaimer, I won’t be comparing it to Lightroom or any other mobile editing application. I mainly use it for tethered capture as well as doing adjustments and editing. ![]() I’ve been using Capture One Pro for more than 10 years.
