A while ago I made a video on how to add white borders to an image for instagram using Lightroom classic’s print module. When I made that video someone asked if you could do the same on the mobile versions of Lightroom. It turns out you can, and it’s actually super easy to do.
After several months of being in beta, Capture One for iPad is now available. The App, which you can get now from the App Store, offers a subset of Capture One for desktop’s functionality, so it is limited. However, it does use the full capture One Raw engine, so images processed on an iPad will be as good as those processed on a desktop.
Capture One has announced the release date for the iPad version of the Capture One software. The iPad app will be out on the 28th of June and will be available on the iPadOS App Store on that date. The iPad version of the software will require a subscription of $4.99 a month.
Yesterday, Capture One showed off the iPad version of Capture One for the first time. In a livestream on their YouTube channel, David Grover, showcased the interface of the new software. Here are some thoughts on what we saw.
Capture One (the company) has added a new post on its website about its vision for the future of its software (also Capture One). The company has outlined its path to creating a whole ecosystem for professional photographers. This starts with Capture One Pro on the desktop, and the recently released Capture One Live, and encompasses future plans which include Capture One on the iPad and eventually iPhone.
Hot on the heels of the recently released version of Capture One for Apple Silicon Macs, the company announced last week that an iPad version is in the works.
One of the most frustrating things about working with Lightroom on an iPad is having to import images to the camera roll first before then importing them to Lightroom. Luckily, thanks to changes in iOS 13 this should soon be at an end. Adobe published a video showing an upcoming change to Lightroom on iPad which will allow direct importing of photos.
It’s been a while since I’ve had a new iPad. In fact, it’s been a while since I had an iPad that was actually usable. I hadn’t upgraded since the iPad 3 as I had nothing but trouble with that model, and it kind of put me off. But with the numerous apps coming out on iOS for photographers, I was starting to feel a little left out. I had been considering an iPad Pro, but I just couldn’t afford it. So when Apple announced the new 6th generation iPad with Apple Pencil support, I decided it was finally time.
I'm starting a new section here on the blog dedicated to photoblogging. I've been writing and blogging about photography for many years now, and before that I used to blog about Apple and technology in general. My workflow and style of blogging has changed many times over the years, as has the software and web services that I use. In this article, I'm going to discuss some of the current tools that I make use of when photoblogging.
While yesterday's Apple event didn't contain a huge amount of announcements, there are a couple of things that were announced or released that may be of interest to photographers. There's the obvious introduction of the iPhone SE and the new smaller iPad Pro, but there are a also few updates in the just released El Capitan update that are also important.
If you've updated to iOS 9 and you're using the new Apple News app, you can now get this blog's content in Apple News. For the moment Apple News is only officially available in a very few select countries, but I'm assuming it will roll out to more soon. There's a very simple work around to get the application if you want ti though. You simply need to set your iPad's region to USA and Language to US English, and reboot your iPad (or iPhone). Once you do that you will see the news App.
I must confess to being an unashamed Apple fan. I’ve been buying Apple products and following the company’s developments since my first Mac, a PowerPC 7100 (remember them?) It was using a Mac that first got me into using Photoshop and graphics, and without it, probably wouldn’t be doing what I’m doing today. Needless to say then, I’m always interested Apple’s new announcements, and in particular how they relate to my fields of Photography and Design. Last week’s keynotehad lots of exciting potential for Photographers, so I’ll share my thoughts (in a somewhat random order) on these developments and how I feel they may impact photography.
