So why I didn't edit anything on my iPad? I guess I got used to separating 2 different workflows: a desktop and a mobile workflow. However, I was quite surprised that the picture I played with looked almost the same as on my calibrated desktop monitor. Of course, I tried Lightroom Mobile during the trial period but I didn't use it to edit pictures in a more 'serious' way. I don't want to edit pictures on an iPad and then go back to my desktop to correct the edits because of mis-calibrated iPad's display - it's like doing the same work twice. My main concern was about monitor calibration - there is no way to calibrate your iPad display. Well, they finally released Lightroom for iPad a month ago (more or less) but I think it was too late for me at that point. In fact, I thought it could substitute my laptop for quick edits and I was really disappointed that Adobe didn't have Lightroom for iPad back then. When I got my iPad a couple of years ago, I really wanted to be able to edit pictures on it. This post could be very short and summarized in one sentence: I had Lightroom iPad Mobile trial subscription and I didn't use it even once. You can find a Paypal button on the software's website (I'm not affiliated with the developer and he didn't ask me to say it but for such a free software, I think donating is appropriate). If you like the software, it would be great if you could donate some money to the developer.

These are only some of the features from the top of my head but I have to admit that they're quite impressive, especially for free software (and when I say free I mean FREE - no ads, no malware, etc.). video recording from within qDSLRDashboard with live view preview and audio monitoring

available on mobile devices - Android and iOS support for Nikon, Canon and Sony cameras Here are some qDSLRDashboard's interesting features:
What's also important is that it's regularly updated by the developer. However, its rich features and the wide range of cameras it supports clearly outgrows any bugs it might potentially have. Before you download it, be aware that it is in early development stage (currently in version 0.2.3) so it might have some bugs and it occasionally performs slow. QDSLRDashboard is not only a tethering software but it also gives you a live preview from a camera on a computer's screen. After a very extensive research and almost losing my hopes for a free alternative, I finally ran across qDSLRDashboard (). I had been using free software 'Soforbild' for tethering with live view on my iMac until I discovered it wasn't updated for over a year and I couldn't get it to work with my Nikon D610. Lightroom has a built-in tethering mode, which works just fine but it doesn't have the live view mode. I like to shoot tethered sometimes (especially product and food photography) and to have the live view mode displayed on my computer's screen.
