Tethered Shooting
I´m convinced that when professionals are asked why they use c1 tethered shooting is for sure one of the main reasons but no part of this software got so less attention over the yeas than this. they do not even care to implement available features of the current line of cameras and withhold features already developed but reserved for their hardware clients. If they think this will help to change the mind of professionals to buy their gear instead of other fantastic high end cameras available today they are more than naive. but triggered by the tethered issues posted here I started to look around what alternative solutions are available and to my surprise I found apps which do already exactly what I wish to see implemented or developed by c1 . canon user have already an option to tether via usb to their iPads and now sony user got an app with features making tethered shooting more easy, with really helpful thought through features for studio photographers and not to forget the possibility to shoot direct to LR. I´m very sure we will see more with apple moving to ARM silicon so i do hope this rings the alarm in copenhagen and they start to reveal what plans they have and make a case why we should stick with them.

I didn't understand you comment. Are you saying C1 has bad tethering support or you want other features as well? I've never used it to tether because I've been tethering on my Sony A7III since it came out in 2018 via their free Imaging Edge software.

yes I think it is bad, especially for a software company which claims to be the market leader. they only offer basics nothing more. they have not improved anything for years and as I wrote do not even care to implement useful features available on the camera side. this is not totally correct because they added a feature called focus meter, if you wonder why you never heard about it - well it is a useless gimick (hasselblad had this many years before ) and I guess this is also the reason why they did not reserve it for their hardware customer as other more useful tools.

I'd imagine C1 is in a difficult situation since they're a much smaller company than Adobe. So I can understand the slow release of features or trying to squeeze some extra profits from the hardware customers, even if it sucks for us.
I've always been a bit baffled by how tethering seems to be such a tremendous feat to have. It's just sending data over a cable. The actually camera makers aren't making things easy either so they can share part of the blame. I can't even pull focus on my Sony via my gimble due to their software gatekeeping. So silly.

i see this as a question of how you use your available resources. there are many one man companies developing amazing software with great support compared to c1 which seems not to be able to maintain their software in an acceptable timeframe. their business philosophy looks rather clear do als little as possible and charge as much as possible, something you don´t see from the smaller companies, even adobe is more reasonable. c1 prefers to do marketing instead but with more options on the market the arguments to stick with c1 vanish. only to pretend to be the best will not work in the long run.

Agreed. They seem to use the Apple approach and trickle out new features over the course of years, while others just have it already, and I say that has an Apple fan. Sony made Canon and Nikon get off the couch with their latest models. No more 5 year release cycles haha! Who knows, maybe they're struggling or maybe they're making a killing and don't feel the need to innovate?
If they could get their heal and clone tools to act more like Photoshop's, I'd probably be close to not needing PS for retouching anymore. The current layers are good enough for dodging and burning, maybe a little less refined than my current curve's based setup, but maybe that's just because I haven't explored it enough.

I fear that the accountants and marketing people alone are running c1 now and I'm also convinced that they are already in trouble. one of the features they introduced with a lot noise was their plugin architecture but now years later there is still zero interest in it. this is just a small indicator but it tells how the software market and developers sees c 1: not worth any investment. the professional market will under go a dramatic change because of covid with the real challenge coming next year. so for many photoshop is still a must but c1 ?
I also fear you will have to stick with ps or affinity ( which offers the much better repair tools imho ) because there is probably a technical reason why all repair tools in raw converter suck. most of the adjumenst are not applied on the raw level but on a already rendered ( tiff ) file but when you make changes to exposure or white balance this file has is rerendered but when the repair tool uses a sophisticated algorithms this will take too long especially with a lot of repair spots. when the image editor is fast you can work on a large number of files simultaneously so I see no need to do this in c1 which is much too limited anyway.

Well hopefully c1 can stick around for the long haul. Never been a fan of Lightroom, but I do understand that we c1 users are in the minority here.
