Capture One for iPad could deliver levels of performance seen only in laptops and desktops, with the company stating, “blazing fast desktop-like speed with full touch and gesture functionality, combined with native support for Metal – allowing you to interact with your images like never before.” That is a bold statement to make, but the M1 CPU has been a major win for Apple in every iteration so far, so I don’t doubt that the iPad Air 5 will be a major game-changer for creatives. Along with the expected high-performance, image development quality and workflow smoothness are also promised to be equal to laptops and desktops. If this holds, photographer’s kits will get smaller and lighter, and content delivery speeds could also increase a great deal. If you get the iPad Air5 with 5G connectivity, sharing photos from a location becomes a breeze. You can sign up right now to get a beta test version (opens in new tab) of Capture One for iPad and start taking advantage of the feature-rich Capture One software. It appears that you can test it out on your current iPad as long as you’ve updated it to iOS 15.
