Capture Pilot like app for Windows 8/RT and Android
Dear all
When vacationing I often take a lot of pictures and when I get home I'm usually really busy with my job and then I have images lying around for a long time before I get them edited. Bringing a 3kg laptop on vacation and sitting with a fully fledged version of Capture One Pro is even a bit too much for me on vacation - and probably for a lot of photographers working in the field.
I would thus really like a touch enabled version for a Windows 8/RT app that does NOT need to connect to Capture One Pro - but where you can make local color adjustments, color adjustments, perspective correction (keystone), rating of images and keyword adding. All adjustments and keywords should be saved in xmp, iptc tags and ready for import directly to Capture One Pro for further processing.
(That is more or less a touch friendly version of the "Exposure" tab, "Composition" tab and then a field for keywords, rating and maybe color tagging.
Since more and more tablets appear on the market, I really see a good usecase for tablets.

Windows RT lacks the power to properly handle raw files, just like iOS and Android tablets. Windows 8 tablets do have the power and can run CO7. 0 -
Some of the newer Tablets and touch screen/slate devices may have enough performance to be somewhat usable. You will need one that runs 64Bit Windows. The top end of the new Dell Venue 11 range might be enough. Intel i5 processor and a decent amount of memory. Good screen resolution although whether you can really make use of it for editing on a small device I am not sure.
The cost is about the same as thin laptop. I assume that some weight will be saved but if you add a keyboard (if only as one way to protect the screen when travelling) the weight difference may not be that much. I suspect it may be a year or two before your wish is fully satisfied.
Meanwhile - when travelling I take a Netbook, mostly for backup purposes. Cannot run C1 but it is happing with something like FastStone which I run as a portable application to provide a rapid assessment facility and, if needed, a browser to share images with others. It has basic editing and cropping facilities that, for me, are good enough when on the road.
I do not use it as a base for an image library - only recent shoots are stored on it and only for a short period (usually).
HTH.

I travel with a 1.3 kg Ultrabook.
My images and my COP7 catalog reside on a 2.5" external harddisk at all times.
Whether travelling or at home I connect the disk to the computer at hand. Up and running in seconds, no synchronization necessary.
I have suggested to PhaseOne to streamline this concept by also making presets, profiles etc. portable.
Cheers,
