Capture One for iPad now supports both wired and wireless tethered shooting

by 1 Comment

When Capture One for iPad was released in June, there was no option to tether your camera to your iPad. They promised it would be coming soon and now they’ve made good on that promise. The latest v1.10 update for Capture One for iPad now supports tethering your camera to your iPad while shooting. And it does it wired through a USB cable or wirelessly over WiFi.

The new update lets photographers shoot directly into Capture One on the iPad to be able to see a large preview of your shots as they’re being taken and you can apply a preset to them by default to get a good idea of how the final image is going to look. You can also use your iPad to remotely trigger your camera without having to touch it at all – very handy when you’ve got a camera mounted in a hard-to-reach location.

Capture One is now finally available on the iPad but there’s no tethered shooting yet

by Leave a Comment

This one’s been a long time coming, having been teased since June of 2021. It’s taken a year, but it’s finally here as Capture One has announced Capture One for iPad. The company says that the new app is available as a standalone iPad app but can also work in tandem with Capture One Pro for the desktop through its Cloud File Transfer subscription.

Capture One for iPad, they say, has been designed to “take advantage of the iPad to its full potential”. This means it supports gestures and touch interactions that its desktop counterpart cannot. It allows users to bring their work with them when they go mobile and have all of their images and adjustments synced up between their iPad and Desktop.

Adobe adds Content-Aware Fill, background removal and portrait selection features to Photoshop for iPad

by Leave a Comment

Adobe has announced a new update for Photoshop on the iPad that brings with it some significant features. It now has Content-Aware Fill, Remove Background, as well as Select Subject designed specifically for people and tricky hair selections. There’s also a new font browser, along with Auto-tone, colour and contrast features.

Photoshop for the iPad was initially launched in 2019, and Adobe says they’ve been working hard to add more of the desktop features we know and love to the mobile version ever since. Obviously, this takes some time to adjust the application from a mouse-based UI to a finger-based touchscreen one and this year they’ve been focusing on adding as many one-tap features to the arsenal as possible.

Capture One is coming to an iPad near you “by early 2022”

Capture One recently announced an update that afforded the app with native support for Apple M1 desktops and MacBooks. And now that the M1-based iPads are here, Capture One has also announced via Instagram that they’ll be releasing a version for the iPad next year.

The Instagram post explains that the app is currently in development and that the company is “hard at work” to bring it to us. It’s expected to come “by early 2022” but beyond that, there isn’t anything specific just yet. I expect, however, this will only be for M1 based iPads, and not those that utilise the Apple A chips.tt

These are the photo editing apps that are collecting and tracking your private data

by 16 Comments

When we think of online privacy, we typically think of social media, editing, browsing or shopping apps that open our private lives up to the potential world. Or, at least to advertisers. But these aren’t the only things we should be worried about, as this report by the folks at Surfshark illustrates.

Amongst the eighteen types of apps that Surfshark looked into, including social media, shopping, streaming, dating, and various others they delved into image editing apps. And the amount of data that each one captures might surprise you. For example, did you know that VSCO tracks your search history and wants the info on all your contacts?

M1 iPad Pro benchmarks show performance beating a high-end i9 MacBook Pro

by 2 Comments

Apple’s recently announced M1 iPad Pro has gotten a lot of people excited, and for quite good reason. Apple’s M1 chips have shown some impressive performance gains in MacBooks and Mac Minis since their release, especially as more applications release native support for the new CPUs. But the iPad Pro has become a preferred way of working for many creatives.

The M1 iPad Pro orders should start arriving at customers homes in the next couple of weeks, but some early benchmarks have hit Geekbench and the results seem to back up Apple’s claim that the iPad Pro is up to 50% faster than the previous generation. IT even shows performance that beats the 16″ MacBook Pro with an Intel Core i9 processor!

The Rode VideoMic NTG is now fully compatible with your iPhone or iPad’s lightning port

by Leave a Comment

The most hotly debated topic I see about iPhones isn’t how good (or bad) the cameras are, but it’s still the fact that they removed the headphone jack, like 5 generations ago. Some have come to terms with it, although it can make things a little difficult for those iPhone filmmakers who want to use external microphones. Well, it’s getting a little easier as of today.

Rode has announced that the Rode VideoMic NTG is now fully compatible with all lightning-equipped iOS devices. The VideoMic NTG is now officially MFi-certified and you just need the new Rode SC15 Type-C USB to Apple Lightning cable (and a firmware update) to make it all work.
