Capture One on new iPad
I watched the Apple Event last night and the Adobe guys were drooling over what they could so on the super new 12.9inch XDR screen iPad which also now has a USB C connection. I know it's been mentioned before but we really do want to see Capture One on the iPad now, what's happening chaps?

Hi there,
I agree with John!
That would be nice to give us an idea of when (or if?) Capture One will be adapted on iPad, with the possibility of tethered shooting on the tablet.
Thanks for your return and very good day.1 -
Yes, please - this is a big issue in terms of workflow accessibility. I am currently evaluating a move from LR to Capture One and the loss of workflow on my iPad while traveling/in-motion is a hug constraint I may not be able to work around.
Thank you for considering as well as any information on timing if this option is coming (or not).

It would be a good idea and a wonderful improvement, indeed. But this is a user-to-user forum, and Capture One staff come and have a look sometimes only. The best way to push this idea would be to submit a request (top right corner of this page).

I don't have any more details than this but you may want to check out this video with the latest about C1 on Apple M1 and iPad - https://youtu.be/UubT_SgVDHg?t=598

Thank you Robert and Jonathan! Greatly appreciate the information. I will submit a request as well as watch the video link - I'm new Capture One so was not aware that its largely users that are interacting here - thank you both again!

when I read such postings I always think does the poster suggest that they are so ignorant to not be able to see the need for an C1 iOS app for themself ? come on, it has been asked for since years and we now have hardware which already outperforms some MacBook Pros and they still need to be reminded ?
ps.: they should have started this years ago by improving the capture app which has been neglected since years. the free camera apps get more and more powerful and than there is adobe with a well thought out cloud solution. or just look at what sony does, so with every year passed they have to come up with something better and more powerful to make an c1 iPad app really sucssesful.

Ignorant? Really? I think you could have come up with a better word.
I've used other apps on iOS and iPadOS. They did little for me. For one thing I want to edit on a large screen. Editing on something less than my large, 5K monitor is disappointing at best. That is also the reason I don't care to use a laptop for editing.
I won't pretend that my personal situation is right for everyone. I'm not again Capture One coming out with an iOS/iPadOS version. But if they do it is unlikely I'll use it. Not because of ignorance. Because it doesn't work for me. Why do you assume it will work for everyone?

hm, but you use c1 which does little for 90% of photographers either... with "they" i did mean c1 not the user if this was not clear.
an ipad app is most useful for all kinds of location work not primarily a editing tool but the younger will probably disagree. the camera wifi gets more and more powerful so why not take advance of this improvements. but making c1 just run on iPadOs is not enough in my view, what is needed is a whole workflow concept, they should take "sessions" to a new level.
here is an idea what I would love to see - the camera sends high res jpgs to the iPad via wifi for fast control. during breaks or after a set I import the raw files and "c1 for iPad" replaces the jpgs with them. now I can better control the images or judge the raw file for optimal exposure make some primarily adjustments or rate them. this serves also as a backup. later in the office I load the files from the card to my work mac and c1 synchronises the settings and ratings and automatically erases the images on the iPad. such an solutions would benefit many not just professional user shooting on location.

Marco acknowledges that everyone’s use case can differ. I also edit primarily on two large screens, one of which is a Wacom Cintiq Pro, and the other an Enzo, attached to my shiny screaming, heat-pump-dwarfing 2019 Mac Pro. When I am on the road, I miss those tools, but I use what I have with me. In order to use C1, it must be an MBP. It cannot be an iPad. Much as I love what Apple is doing with the M1, I’ve decided that I don’t want another MBP. I want the new iPad Pro, for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is that in one sleek machine, it mimics a lot of what I do with the Wacom and the Mac at home. With C1 now native for M1, with companies like Adobe years ahead of C1 on the iPadOS, is it really so unreasonable to think that C1 should now be supporting an increasingly professional device? [BTW, I’m 65, and there is little not to love about the iPad Pro. Interestingly, a fully tricked out iPad Pro costs several hundred dollars more than a fully tricked out M1 MBP 13.]

@greg no it is not unreasonable, it should have happend years ago. adobe and some others understood the importance of this development but c1 is living in an imaginary glorious past with zero innovative and visionary ideas. but even when they manage to port c1 to iPadOS in the near future they have the problem that the younger professional crowd is already accustomed to an adobe mobile workflow so they have to come up with something similar or better.

Right @CSP. I genuinely enjoy working in C1. But I also license the full Adobe CC suite. There may come a dime when maintaining both is not worth the difficulty. Software, like cameras and lenses and computers, is just another tool. Its role is fungible, even if all its functionality is not. The software graveyard is littered with the carcasses that prove the case.

when you compare the image quality of todays converter you will not find large differences beside all the marketing claims, there are variations in default color but detail is rendered very much the same. NR is the only field with higher variations but from a practical standpoint when you do not only pixel peep but print all are at an acceptable level. what separates converter are tools, usability and connectivity and this will play an even bigger role in the future. the 10% markt share left for non adobe converter got much more divers and it is only a question of time when affinity will enter the market too. affinity offers a pro design software suite as adobe and apps for iPadOS which is a big factor as the lines of creative professions have blurred much in the the last 10 years. so even when c1 gets in gear now they have a rather different market reality.

According to resource hub splash screen that pos up when you launch capture one the iPad version of capture one will be available early 2022.
