My mobile shooting setup is pretty simple: iPhone 12 Pro with Halide as the shooting app. Besides excellent control over the camera, Halide can capture ProRAW DNG + HEIC files.

Capture One has finally released Capture One for iPad, and, to be honest, this is the most controversial release of Capture One. Ever. I just love this app; for the new, ultra-convenient interface, for the same processing engine as in the desktop Capture One. It’s just fantastic to have the natural and realistic color rendering on iPad. And this app is so fast! At the same time, the very first version of Capture One for iPad lacks Layers, Curves, and many other advanced tools.
