Do you have any impressions relating to screen color calibration and controlling color and brightness? How do you set a standard, particularly moving between different machines?
Great tutorial, Alex. Thanks so much. My real paint point is a seamless processing of photos by CO on PC and CO on iPad. E.g. photos in my CO library on PC which I would like to edit on iPad and having the resulting changes also copied back to PC. Do you have any suggestion how to do best?
Thank you for the video and review! I downloaded the trial version. It connects my Canon 5DsR and lets your take photos very easily. I want to use this when I take photos on location. I noticed that the files go directly to the iPad and are not stored on either of my camera cards. Seems too risky to not have any back ups as I work. Does anyone know if you can change the setting so the file stays on my camera card and on the iPad?
My biggest issue with this is the cloud transfer. Transferring a whole shoot via wifi would take ages, depending on the size of the shoot. Hopefully they figure out a way to transfer via wired connection. Also, are the photos stored on the iPad or on the cameras card?
Lightroom and Capture One both try to push people to Cloud platforms but that doesn’t work for me. I want to edit on iPad and PC and just sync catalogs without internet. For people with terabytes of RAW photos “internet” is just not a solution. I get it they want more money, but the technology is just not there yet. They should use the cloud just for catalogs and presets/settings, not for actual photos.
Creating masks is probably iPad’s biggest advantage because you can do it much more precisely with a Pencil. Without Layers and Masks they should have just released this app for free for now. There are loads of alternatives, Affinity Photo for example that’s way more powerful
Hello Alex, thank you for the video quite nice tips I hadn't realized yet! I think applying these styles is indeed one of the best workaround for the lack of features currently. Their newest update brought Fuji sims in which is already a nice touch too. Yet to prove the tethering mode. By the way, are the styles pack you sell based on Fuji sims? I'm still testing the app but, apparently, you can't cloud transfer the photos from an album with the same name I put on the Ipad, correct? I did try with a catalogue but no smart collections or folders are referenced to the album name I created on the Ipad. Just the basic metadata (rating, adjustments, etc.) I tried with session and imported to the SELECTS instead of Capture and it messed up my file names... Already asked the support team if this can be a bug. Imported as well the whole catalogue file from the Files in the Ipad to the Mac and the desk version read it! But the photos were IN the Catalog and not referenced somewhere else, which duplicates the space used as I rather prefer maintaining everything referenced on a master hard drive I have. Anyways, until full cloud sync is developed I guess it's a nice tool but still painful to integrate a full workflow considering the ipad+mac scenario.
I have an iPad Pro M1 12.9, and I took it mainly for the screen. Capture One works ultra-fast there. Still, I think it should work well on any iPad Pro or a regular iPad of the latest generations.
this app is flawed and limited on so many levels that it is really astonishing it got released and no this company is not our friend they are private equity investors they want to maximise profit so they sell you an unfinished software at full price ! even the interface which looks nice has a lot of disadvantages when you actually work with it. the blinking tools when making adjustments are the most obvious but you have to reactivate every function you want to adjust over and over again when working with an image, sliders are boring but far more efficient !
The biggest downfall of this app is that it is based on a subscription model. $4.99 US a month. I already have a desktop subscription. So for now I kindly reject the iPad app. Such a bummer.
As I understand, an app must have a subscription model if it has some cloud storage or transfer. Cloud services are monthly expenses for developers, and they are included in the subscription price. For a single-time purchase, it's pretty difficult to estimate the price of such an app. A user can purchase the app a single time and then generate cloud expenses for years.
@@AlexOnRAW Thank you for your reply. I already have an iCloud subscription from Apple. I pay extra every month to have more storage. Why don’t use iCloud to transfer my files between iOS and Mac OS?
@@AlexOnRAW that’s pretty vague excuse for masking this app sub based. Some people use this for certain features. I only want to view the raw files and cull, for this do you thing its worth paying years after years?
@@JayJayNay I'm not a software developer, but I guess it will require some additional steps to transfer files because the synchronization process is now on the user side. This will impact the overall user experience.
@@ijuffj I understand your point, but the subscription model has business reasons. I mean, it's not just greed that pushed almost all app developers to a subscription model.
What’s the point of all those editing tools if you can’t even set the proper color profile for your camera to begin with?! Is your video just another sale pitch?
Hi, this video is not paid, and I'm not affiliated with Capture One. I agree that it would be great to choose a color profile. However, I don't think it should be the developers' priority. The default camera profile works well for most of my RAW files, and the layers are a way more important feature for the iPad.
@@AlexOnRAW Well Sir, I don’t know what camera you use or what kind of photo work you do and you might be one of the lucky few who use a camera which C1 provides an accurate profile for. I can assure you that most professionals around me use their own camera profiles or ones made by specialized companies. Professionals who need accurate colors use color checkers to make their own profiles. Event photographers often use specific profiles adapted to the type of events they do. Many others need at least access the tone curve part so to start with a more linear profile to use with their presets. Layers would be great but they are certainly a priority over camera profiles. C1 people should have listened to the beta testers who, many of them, told them that without access to profiles the app was useless to them.
@@ludo1632 I had a chance to work with RAWs of many camera models in Capture One. For instance, in my video about Capture One for iPad, you can see RAWs from Nikon D3, Nikon D4, Canon 5D MK II, Sony 7R MK II, Fujifilm X-T3, X-H1, and GFX 50R. Some camera profiles could be better, for instance, Nikon D800. Still, most of the default profiles are pretty reliable. For sure, some types of photography require custom profiles, and your point about the Linear curve is also valid. However, I don't see any reason to create custom profiles for event photography. I have 15 years of experience in event photography and ran a pro-level course about shooting events at Nikon School. For event photography tasks, you can easily achieve the same results using styles, but unlike camera profiles, styles can be used locally and assigned to shortcuts for faster editing.

I’ve subscribed for the moment and I’ll see how useful it is. The advantage with subscription is you can cancel at any time and then re subscribe

Do you have a recommendation on a style to apply to my son’s youth hockey photos?
It's hard to tell without having seen the pictures.
Can you edit photos off an external USB-C drive instead of having to copy the photos to the iPad itself?
Great video! Can you shoot to the iPad and camera sd card at the same time?

Can you export an image with a logo watermark? Or just a text watermark?
Currently, there is no such option. However, as far as I know, the developers are aware of the request for this feature.
Are you able to mask on the ipad capture one app?
Does capture one ipad not have a tone curve
Can I transfer my raw files to Lightroom with that?
There is any way of sync folders from my capture one in the computer with my capture one in the ipad? thanks!
is there any google drive importing?
I need brushes please.
What iPad size is Alex using ?
Hi Christian, I have an iPad Pro M1 12.9
What ipad do you recommend for this kind of work
Probably a Pro with M1
I have an iPad Pro M1 12.9, and I took it mainly for the screen. Capture One works ultra-fast there. Still, I think it should work well on any iPad Pro or a regular iPad of the latest generations.
whats the minimum ios requirement?
Capture One for iPad requires iPadOS 15.0 or later

Thanks, Christian! Unfortunately, such round trip workflow is not available on iPad yet. Still, I hope we'll see it in future updates.
