“There are really only two choices for shooting tethered” that refers to the two most full featured software options which are compatible with the most cameras and they would be Adobe’s Lightroom and Capture One Pro 10. The challenge with all of these different software options is that some of them are camera-specific, some have very limited options and some contain specialized features like multiple camera control, time-lapse, and HDR. Adobe Lightroom – which many of you already have, Capture One Pro, Darkroom Core, Smart Shooter, If your a Nikon photographer there is Nikon Camera Control Pro, for Canon shooters there is the Canon EOS Utility, Sony has the Sony Remote Camera Control, heck even Hassleblad has the Hasselblad Phocus and the list goes on… You can even find some open source software like DigiCamControl if you are ok with the adventure that comes along with Open Source.For a complete list of options with links to their websites, be sure read to the end of this article. Depending on your needs, there is along list of options.

I know – those two statements contradict each other right? Not really. Software Options “There are a lot of options for shooting tethered” “There are really only two choices for shooting tethered” This is where the real work happens and also where the bottleneck occurs if you don’t have enough. However the most important spec is the RAM. It goes without saying that a faster processor is desirable. You are going to be downloading large raw files in real time to a computer while you shoot. Many of you are already using a piece of software that will allow you to shot tethered, but before we look at the software – let’s talk about some computer requirements. Shooting tethered has allowed me to deliver finished images within hours of a shoot – without sacrificing any quality or compromising my workflow. Yes – there is a learning curve, but we are living in an era where people expect images quickly if not immediately. There is also a philosophy held by many people that shooting tethered is difficult and an inconvenience. Now if your not sure what all this tethering stuff is and how you do it – go back and watch this video so that you’re up to speed.īefore we dig in – let be clear about one thing… the ability to tether is an incredible asset if you are an advanced shooter and have reached a point in your development as a photographer where you have learned the true value of having a workflow and a consistency to your process.

One of the first things you need to consider before you shoot with your camera tethered to your computer -is the software. In this article, I will break down your options and look at why you might pick one over the other, and I’ll even explain how I create backups of my files as they are downloaded to my computer.

It works in Sofortbild or via the iPad and DSLRemote from OnOne, but the extra stage of having the Lightroom catalogue watch the download folder and then import into Lightroom adds frustrating seconds to the process that looks gimcrack when you have an art director peering impatiently over your shoulder.As soon as my new MBP arrives I will be testing it with Sofortbild and hope the faster computer will speed things up so that I can use the D800, at the moment It’s sitting in its case waiting for a solution., It seems crazy that Nikon can launch a superb camera which is perfectly designed for a studio photographer and neglect to supply the vital information to allow third party software to develop the software to use it.Are you ready to start shooting tethered? Are you looking for the best software to use? Tethering doesn’t have to be difficult.

But alas – no, the D800 will not work tethered in Lightroom, nor in Capture, the only other serious alternative software for my workflow. Everything should be set up perfectly for my studio food photography. I have happily been using Lightroom since it was launched and find version 4 better than ever. I am waiting for my new MacBook Pro Retina to arrive at any minute.
