I have to ask - I’ve always wondered what is the software photographers use when they take a photo and it quickly updates to the software they are using?

For example, I was at an art restoration building and saw them take a photo of an artwork before restoration work and it was quickly uploaded to ? Yes, I could have asked them but I got side tracked by what they were doing.

Thank you.

    Capture one and Lightroom. It is a game changer once you familiarize yourself with these programs. I shoot Sony and can only use Capture, but I’ve fallen in love with it.

    Tethered shooting, where the camera is connected to the computer (either with a cable or wirelessly) and their photo editing software just automatically imports the photo. It’s used in studios a lot.

      Yep unless we shoot events. In which case I still need a laptop station because a wedding could end up being half a TB in raw plus videos. Thank god for the super fast cards Sony has now. I can offload from that to my T7 about 256GB in 6 min. Otherwise if it’s a controlled studio I don’t have time for that

      I did it when doing a volunteer shoot at one of the local pet hospitals. The clients really got a kick out of seeing the picture on the laptop the second I took it. Made slapping “print” and collecting $20 really easy.

    Every studio i’ve worked in tethers to Capture One software. Usually 2 screens one has the viewer (just present image) and the other pallettes / tools. Most of the adjustments image wise are handled here with only minor Photoshop work at the end of the day. The only time i don’t tether is some location jobs, last week i was shooting boats on sea so thats to card!

        Yes forgot to say there are studios i work in that photographers are using different cameras systems - Nikon, Canon, Sony, Phase One etc and Capture One works well with all of them, just plug in and shoot.

          Yep, studios I’ve worked in all had the tethered setup to feed imagines into Capture One or one one occasion LR just to apply a quick preset.

    Just wanted to say thank you for asking this question. There is so much out there to learn and find when it comes to photography and a lot of helpful things can be missed. This is something I had never heard about and looks really helpful.
