Capture One for iPad could be a game changer

C1 for iPad... would be fantastic 😏👍👍👍👍
C1 for iPad.... awesome and goodbye LR.
I would love to see C1 for iPad! I'm surprised it hasn't been done yet.
maybe with the changes Apple do to their machines in near future we can use C1 on iPad, Lightroom have now a version for this.
I tried Lightroom for a couple of months, and the only good thing about it is the ipad integration, this so needs to happen for C1
The ONLY way I will again upgrade C1 is for iPad support. If iOs support is not forthcoming, I’m frankly done with phase one and their efforts for good. I’ve used C1 since the first version which processed canon files, which was 2004 or 2005, i believe, but as great as its narrow advantages still are, it’s the end of the line if they don’t get a clue where the future lies.
Are there any plans to support iPad in the near future? With the introduction of apple silicon seems like a no brainer. Is the 30% apple takes from every app the reason?
Never a dull moment, eh? Now that Apple is migrating to ARM processors for their computers, writing a version native to ARM processors could potentially have the added benefit of providing a version of Capture One for iPad. In the meantime though the Intel version of Capture One should run successfully on Rosetta II, the emulator for ARM processors.
Apple has a new approach to emulation which is to do a one time conversion of the executable to run on ARM processors rather than use a real time emulator. So it's feasible that Capture One, the Intel version, could run quite well on ARM processors after the conversion via Rosetta II.
Personally I'm not so eager to do serious editing on a tablet like iPad, but some people do love it. Photographers that I know who do editing on iPad really only do that in the field; they prefer to use their computer for serious editing. That may just be my crowd, though.
Capture One Pro on an iPad Pro would be very much appreciated.
What’s stoping on capture one making a software for the iPad Pro?
Capture One not being on the iPad is the missing magic sauce that Adobe mastered with Lightroom CC. There is a USB-C port and fantastic screen and Pencil for editing. It is a game changer when you can edit these files during a wedding and just leave a iPad out on a table with the current edited photos.
I just left adobe and was looking for a Lightroom alternative and was hopeful that capture one would fit the bill only to find out there is no iPad support. I am very surprised by this. I am unwilling to pay the very high price for software that does not support perhaps the most capable photo editing device, the iPad Pro. I guess maybe I will be going back to Adobe with my tail between my legs.
Capture One for iPad would change everything. I like C1 a lot more than Lightroom but editing my Photos on the iPad is the only thing thats truly missing.
I could leave my MacBook at home when traveling. Just take my iPad with me, load off my images to it, make basic edits and at home I could finish on my MacBook.
Even better would it be if we'd have the choice where the images are stored, unlike Lightroom CC, we could choose our NAS, or cloud systems like iCloud, OneDrive, FTP, Owncloud etc.
I’ll change my iMac with an iPad and unfortunately I’ll migrate to Lightroom. :-(
I need to replace my aging Macbook Pro (2012) and I'd much rather move to an iPad Pro than a new Macbook.. C1 is the only thing holding me back.
