While working with Lightroom on your iPad, if you want to use powerful editing techniques to create stunning composites and image transformations, you can easily open your Lightroom photos in Photoshop.

Lightroom also aces non-destructive post-processing of photos. But one thing we are intrigued to hear about its incoming iPad app is its price tag and whether or not it'll be available as a one-time purchase.Ĭapture One's desktop software currently lets you decide between a monthly subscription, like Adobe's apps, or a 'perpetual license', which allows you to avoid those sometimes unpopular monthly charges for a one-time fee.Īdobe apps like Lightroom and Photoshop are currently only available as monthly or annual subscriptions, but our current pick for the title of best photo editing app is Affinity Photo, which is available as a one-time purchase.Īffinity Photo is more of an all-in-one editor in the vein of Photoshop, though, so hopefully Capture One will retain a one-off, in-app purchase option in its iPad app for those who aren't keen on death by a thousand digital subscriptions.Ĭapture One already offers its Capture Pilot app for remotely reviewing and rating your images during a photo shoot, so we're looking forward to seeing the full editing process join it on the iPad soon. Lightroom lets you import, organize, edit, and easily share your photos.

We're big fans of Capture One, which sits in the number two spot in our guide to the best photo editors around.
