At the end of Capture One, Release Capture One Mobile is bringing its photo editing software to Apple’s iPadOS ecosystem for the first time. The release brings all the features shown in the previous teaser of Capture One and, while not complete in terms of features, offers a solid baseline for photographers who want a lightroom option on the iPadOS device.
Capture One for the iPad, like its desktop program, is a raw photo converter and editor designed to bring the Capture One experience to a mobile device with a touch-first interface. Photos stored on Capture One mobile are stored locally by default, but for users who have a Capture One Pro subscription, you can transfer images to the desktop version of Capture One via Cloud File Transfer.

Image Organization Lightroom is similar to the mobile approach, with the option to view all your photos, only in the last imported photos or albums that you can create to separate your assignments and shoots.
Editing options include a normal array of basic raw editing tools, including Exposure Adjustment (Exposure, Contrast, Brightness, Saturation), HDR (Highlight, Shadow, White, Black), Transparency (Transparency, Structure), DiHaj, A Color Editor, and Vignetting. . There is also a dedicated crop and rotation toolset, as well as a dedicated area for creating and applying the Capture One style, which is pre-installed, and other styles that you have purchased through the Capture One online store or through third-party manufacturers.

The Image Export interface is a bit primitive at this point, but allows you to create custom names for your images, export them as JPEG or Raw (with adjustments), adjust the resolution, adjust the quality, and even add a watermark if you do.

I spent some time playing with the beta and so far it has been a delightful experience. The interface is familiar enough to anyone who has used Capture One Pro 22 on the desktop, but it provides a unique experience that makes it easy to quickly collect and process images on the go with all the basic editing tools you may need. At the very least, start editing before you make any dramatic changes back to the desktop version.
Capture One says that tethering, mask / layer and cloud enhancement (and ultimately synchronization) for file transfers are the features that they are most focused on bringing to Capture One Mobile in future updates.
