Currently, the app cannot view existing images that are in your Capture One desktop catalogs. Granted, these wouldn’t be in high res, but it would help to sift through them for culling, rating, and basic edits for clients. And, instead of browsing through them on my Macbook while returning home, I would’ve liked to view them on the iPad app. The images from the shoot would reside on my Macbook in full resolution. This would make sense from a workflow perspective, such as in scenarios like at a tethered shoot. The one essential feature I expected the iPad app to have is the ability to view and edit images that are already in the catalog on the desktop version. But I do wonder who the target audience for the app is because it’s currently missing some sync features. In fact, you’ll probably be able to edit faster on this than on a desktop in most scenarios. You’re introduced to a familiar layout, so there isn’t much of a learning curve with the editing controls. From a visual perspective, the Capture One for iPad app ticks all the boxes. But the more creative companies know how to make their mobile apps look and feel like a seamless extension of their desktop software. Sure there have to be some tradeoffs because of the nature of mobile vs desktop operating systems. When software companies provide mobile applications that aren’t half-baked versions of their desktop apps, it shows a concern for their end users.

But the app in its current version is let down by the lack of some cloud sync features: features any pro photographer would expect. The layout is comfortably familiar, and the editing experience is smooth. If you’re an existing Capture One user, you’ll find the new iPad app a helpful tool. The comparisons between this and Adobe Lightroom (non Classic version) are inevitable since the latter has been around for many years as a mobile application. Launched at the end of June, Capture One for iPad intends to let you take your editing workflow wherever you go.
