Capture One for iPad
Macrumors shows Lightroom for iPad is coming soon. Any chance Capture 1 will ever be on iPad? In our lifetimes?

Nobody who knows will say - Phase One does not "pre-announce". 0 -

I would assume that would most likely depend on how much power performance and storage Apple can build into the iPad and whether a device with a screen that would be large enough to use for any serious work could be classed as a Pad.
Might be able to overcome the size thing if built in projection was a possibility or roll-up flat screens become reality. But then who knows what else would change by then ....?
To help answer your second question - we may need to know how long do you expect to live?

A colleague of mine will take delivery of a Surface Pro 2 next week for use with a non-photographic but fairly power hungry business application. Or at least that is the plan.
It will be interesting to see how it works out. However it will be costing him about the same as my top end Notebook Pro workstation yet offer less spec over all. So can one satisfactorily trade specification for the apparent convenience of a top end 'tablet'?
Should know in the next few weeks.
How that might work when hacking it to Mac is another matter. But then, does one need to if it provides a suitable portable solution to one's needs?

The issue here isn't Capture One, it's the iPad and the horribly restrictive iOS.
If we were to make an application just for the iPad, as it is now, it would be slow, simple and take up a lot of room.
If Apple starts making iPads more robust, meaning systems with more than 1GB of RAM, then I'm sure the possibility to create something for these systems would be available.
Of course the ideal solution is to not compromise on either software features or system performance... and this brings us to...[quote="SFA" wrote:

The Pro 2 is a great tablet with a fully operating Windows 8 system and as such, can easily run Capture One 7 Pro. Yes, it will be slower than a fully loaded Laptop but the speed seems an acceptable compromise given the small footprint of the system. With the IQ series and USB, there's even the ability to tether into a tablet about the same size as a first generation iPad.
It may lack Apples polish but if portability is what you're after, a switch to Windows seems to be the smart play at this point.0 -
I actually think Capture Pilot is pretty good. It dramatically increases my speed of going through shots and just tagging/rating them quickly when doing quick'n'dirty good/maybe/bad sorting of my shots. What I would like to see in that application though is some way of adding metadata also, mainly keywords. 0 -

Nice wireless solution for Nikon and canon cameras...
Camranger for wireless tethering to a laptop,
TP-Link rm3040 for your mobile wifi network
Set up a watch folder for CO1 to auto import files from camranger
Use Capture Pilot to view and rate your files in CO1
Can't get Capture One to control the Nikon D800. Crashes all the time.
Not cable issue as they work just fine with other software.0 -

Have you used Capture One with the Surface 2 Pro?
The screen size and high resolution makes trying to use Capture One 7 Pro very very difficult.
The density of the interface and how small the sliders, wheels etc become makes it very difficult to input setting.
I tried using CO7 on a Samsung Slate that has a bigger screen and CO7 was pretty much unusable. It simply isn't designed either for touch screen or for small screens. It's also no where nearly efficiently coded.
It would guzzle up the batter of the Samsung slate way faster than running Photoshop or Lightroom. That said neither Lightroom or photoshop are ideal for small touch screen use. Lightroom being the best of the three with touchscreen.
Another limitation with the Surface is that there is no way to attach a firewire device and seeing as the main reason for using CO7 is MFD backs that leaves most of the backs out there out of the equation.
That said I think that a full fledged CO7 on the iPAd or anyother compact tablet would not be practical. However a companion iPad App would be a very nice option. Not capture pilot that needs a host computer to run off, but a stand alone ingest app. Something along the line of Photosmith. A App for in field review, rating, cropping, notes and communication on set. Only ingest jpeg files and then import all rating, notes, crops etc to a session or catalog on a desktop back at the office/studio. Maybe a plugin for Photosmith could be the way to go.....0 -

Yes Fred, hence the suggestion.[quote="FredBGG" wrote:

Fortunately you can get the Surface Pro with more than 4GB of RAM (the absolute minimum for Capture One 7). As such you can expect better performance from better hardware.
I never said it was an ideal and perfect solution, but as the question was posed it was provided as a solution that is currently available as well as tested and viable.0 -
When you use Capture One on the Surface Pro how did you deal with trying to hit the right slider
and move it with any precision. I found the controls to be just too small and close on the small yet high res screen.
The color editor skin tone tool is impossible to adjust on a small high res touch screen.
Color editor skin tone tool is the best thing about Capture One....
While I prefer windows machines the whole PC in a tablet thing does not work without the right graphic user interface.
A small laptop would be better. At least 13in screen and a biggish touchpad.0 -

Touch Pen and Zoom get's you proper access to the smaller tools.[quote="FredBGG" wrote:

That's certainly a viable opinion but not applicable to this thread.
Capture One for iPad is not a possibility at present but if a Tablet workflow is what you are after the Surface Pro 2 is a viable solution. The usability in terms of workflow preferences are up to the user to decide.
Ultimately, Capture One Pro on a tablet is absolutely possible which address' the nature of the OP's request.0 -
Tablet Workflow...
Not going to have much of a tablet workflow if the controls are too small on the screen
with touch not being accurate enough to control the sliders very nicely.
However there are other options.
The Dell XPS 18 is an lightweight (for the size) 18 inch tablet with 8 gigs of ram and a 1tb hard drive.
Don't get me wrong though. I think that the Surface Pro is an interesting tablet.
I too would like to use a compact tablet in some situations for photography but a new GUI is really what is needed.
If the controls on the right were just turned into tool selection buttons. Then when selected make the sliders appear overlaid on the image... near the bottom... nice and large, but not to bold so as to not interfere little with seeing the colors of the image being adjusted. The other dialogs such as export etc could be made full screen as one does not need to see the images after they are selected.
That said it may be too costly of a project to make a new GUI.
Anyway a good discussion can lead to new ideas.0 -
Hello,
sorry if this a bit off topic. But this is one thing I always wondered.
As tablets are quite restrictive concerning hardware (all of them in terms of power/ storage required for C1), but great from a usage perspective. At least for applications where screen size does not matter. e.g. Preselecting images, doing some initial adjustments, etc.
For me a great solution would be something like Capture Pilot for iPad with some added features, where the actual computing is done on the PC and only the result is sent to the App for viewing. Very much like what is done with white balance today. Just add some stuff (HDR, brightness, Saturation, pre defined settings, etc.).
You would not get all the freedom like with a real portable solution, but at least in the vicinity of you studio.
There is an app called something like "actions" with allows you to send keyboard entries from an app to the Mac...that is halfway there.
Making something like this can not be all that hard and would certainly make my day.
Greetings,
CT0
