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.

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

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!
This pretty much sums it up!
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.
Adobe Lightroom also supports tethered shooting. Capture One seems to be the tool of choice, though.
Capture One is the industry standard
Capture One is the king of shooting when you are wired directly to the computer (tethered).
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.
Most likely Lightroom. It’s like the digital version of a darkroom
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.
